The St. Louis Cardinals had all the hope in the world after a positive August and after the front office finally dismissed Mike Matheny. The honeymoon was fantastic and the club was flying high.
I’ve written about this too much already so I’m not going to belabor this but allow me to say just this: I believe that, in addition to many other variables, the expanded rosters of September weighed down the St. Louis Cardinals of 2018. Was it too much for Mike Shildt?
Look, let’s shove the negative aside and allow me to put the light on the positives that I could easily miss if I become mired in the other things.
