The Cardinals reached the midpoint of the season Saturday as a losing team, with a 40-41 record and an offense that’s become an anchor dragging them deeper into an abyss.

The Cardinals lost their fifth consecutive game, their second consecutive series, and have a concerning record that demands action. The lineup has gone from problematic to profoundly troublesome. This is the new lens: Their offensive issues are kaleidoscopic.
