Our weekly chat with readers focuses on the dire predicament of the current Cardinals. Here are some of the highlights.
Q: It’s hard to see this team turning this around. The offense and defense are good enough to compete but not if the pitching keeps giving away bases by the boatload. … If the Cardinals can’t find two decent starters to add to the rotation by the All-Star break, then the hole they are digging will be too deep by August (when Jack Flaherty and Miles Mikolas could return). Can you reassure us there is hope on the way from somewhere?
