[The QC Sports Section - Recaps of our live games @QCSportsSection]

The Illini have remade almost their whole men's basketball roster this off-season. Who better to break it down than @KedPrince4, who's joining us LIVE on tonight's show, 7:00 p.m. on https://t.co/psvrsOAay7, with @ness_44 teaming up with co-hosts @JoeTheShowQCSN and @jaydub61!!

If you’re not going to use the righthanders you have in the pen, go out and get righthanders you WILL use.

[Katie Woo @katiejwoo]

Oli Marmol’s decision to keep JoJo Romero in the 8th, even with a slew of right-handed hitters due up for Houston, came down to experience.

Fernandez was down and Helsley’s your guy for the ninth. Left Kyle Leahy (15 ML innings) and Ryan Loutos (1 ML inning) as the options.

[STL Sports Central @STLSprtsCntrl]

The last #STLCards player 22 or younger to have a longer hitting streak than Masyn Winn’s 17 games?

Stan Musial (1943)

[Marc Nesseler @ness_44]

Question @katiejwoo … Gray pitched Monday. But even with 5 days rest, he’s not pitching Saturday. Is that a coaching decision or by Sonny’s request? It makes no sense to not go with your best as often as you can with regular rest.

[Katie Woo @katiejwoo]

For the first time this year, that's a Cardinals sweep.

Lars Nootbaar made a 5-star catch, resulting in one of the most clutch double plays of the season, Ryan Fernandez notches his first-career save, & the St. Louis Cardinals are playing their best ball yet

Final: STL 5, BAL 4

[Marc Nesseler @ness_44]

Guaranteed to lose the third game of a series after winning the first two. #TheCardinalWay
Sit your best hitter and your best power, and don’t start Gray when he is on normal rest. Just to make sure you don’t sweep.

[Bernie Miklasz @miklasz]

Naw, the Cardinals don’t need a fifth starter. Everything is fine. Be patient. They’re the Cardinals. Smartest organization in sports. And they know more than we do. They’re absolutely determined to do whatever it takes to win. #Sarcasm

[Baseball King @BasebaIlKing]

On September 10, 1960 Mickey Mantle rockets a homerun that measured 643ft.

Guinness Records as it as the longest ball ever hit in a major league game.

This is where the ball supposedly landed.

[Super 70s Sports @Super70sSports]

Most underrated 70s quarterback? My vote is for Ken Anderson.

[Marc Nesseler @ness_44]

Here’s a thought - Hit a home run more often than every other game on an average. Isn’t anyone curious in the organization why there is zero power in that offense????

[FanDuel Sports Network Midwest @FanDuelSN_MW]

Oli Marmol on Miles Mikolas in today's #STLCards loss: "Overall, he did a nice job — he really did. Just not enough offense. Had our shots, just didn't cash in. We've got to figure out a way to score some runs."

[Bernie Miklasz @miklasz]

In 2023 the Cardinals were 9-13 after 22 games with a run differential of minus 2. Their offense was averaging 4.72 runs per game.

This season: 9-13 after 22 games with a run differential of minus 19. Their offense is averaging 3.45 runs per game.

[Marc Nesseler @ness_44]

Blame the manager? The hitting coach? Ownership? The players themselves (who continue to bat in the same fruitless spots in the order, and striking out and without HRs in record fashion)? Frustration at a peak.

[Dan Tomlin @DanTomlinBets]

@ness_44 I don’t see any quick fixes either. I thought starting pitching would be a bigger problem than offense but starting pitching has been pretty good.

[Marc Nesseler @ness_44]

SOMEONE has to be held accountable for this horrendous offense.

[St. Louis Cardinals @Cardinals]

Final Score: Brewers 2, Cardinals 0

And 9 strikeouts in the first innings of the last 3 games, and 10 out of 12 in all 4, with one of the other two outs being a foul out :/

[John Denton @JohnDenton555]

Understandably, there is a lot of angst today over the #STLCards thinned bullpen and starters not going deeper yet. But this is where the concern should be after four games:

The top of the order (Donovan, Goldschmidt, Gorman, Arenado & Contreras) are 12 of 73 (.164) with 26 Ks.

[Marc Nesseler @ness_44]

First innings of Cardinals’ first 4 games -
G1 - Flyout to CF, K, foul out
G2 - K, K, K
G3 - K, K, K
G4 - K, K, K

I’m going to go out on a limb and say the #11 is for the II that comes at the end of your name. And now I have to have that jersey. #NewFavoriteCardinal #GoIIGo

God got a plan, so just stick to the script 📝 #11
