By the time you are reading this, you probably know that the Cardinals’ season is now over. There is really no other way to say it except that the Cards ran into a buzzsaw of a Washington Nationals team, getting swept in commanding fashion. With an inability to hit the Nationals pitching and adding sloppy defense at inopportune times, the Cardinals were thoroughly destroyed in the 2019 NLCS. This was only the 4th postseason series in franchise history in which the Cardinals were swept. Each series had its share of disappointments and frustrations, but this was the only series of the four in which one could be forgiven for having the ever-present feeling that the club would be unable to score.
