Moreover the team – including Marmol – screwed up Flaherty’s shoulder rehab by allowing him to talk his way back into the rotation before he was ready. That’s their fault, so the excuse doesn’t fly. The front office assumed he was fine, and didn’t collect enough rotation depth. He hasn’t done that for any sustained period since the second half of the 2019 season and has missed 197 in-season days while on the DL since June 1 of 2021. But the front office never should have assumed that Flaherty would plug back in and stay healthy and pitch effectively. The Cardinals are missing starting pitchers Jack Flaherty and Steven Matz. And if we want to limit the time-lost number to players that are on the IL right now, only three MLB teams have fewer days missed than STL.

All teams are worn down to some extent at this stage of the season - during the final days before the All-Star break. OK, what about the Cardinals being tired? Please. I’ll take my chances any day against them.”įirst of all, all 30 MLB teams have to go through difficult sections of schedule. We’re where we are, and with how we played against these guys, I’m alright with this. They want to stay in there until this thing wraps up. “We’re at a spot where we’re still a couple of guys down, and we’re in a part of our schedule where it’s been tough and guys are tired. “I feel like we match up just fine with these teams,” Marmol said. Over the past two weeks the Cardinals had the opportunity to show that they belong in the group of elite teams in the National League.īut you wouldn’t know that by listening to Cards manager Oli Marmol after his team got skunked 4-0 by the Dodgers on Thursday night.
