So the St. Louis Cardinals have joined the rest of the 26 teams who have entered the offseason after their exit in the NLCS. It was not an easy way to exit either.
Getting swept in any postseason series can be painful and the four games the Cardinals just played take the cake for the worst series the Cardinals have had in a long time.
Over the four losses, the Cardinals mustered just six total runs. That was with their four-run “offensive explosion” in Game 4. With those six runs, there were just 16 hits and a whopping 48 strikeouts.
