Ep. 445: Did Oli Marmol pull Mikolas too early in Tuesday's Cardinals loss in Tampa?
Season 3

Published 2 years, 10 months ago
Description
Brenden Schaeffer discusses Tuesday's 4-2 loss for the Cardinals down in Tampa as the Rays got the better of the Redbirds late. Miles Mikolas was twirling a gem through seven but was pulled after allowing a leadoff triple in the eighth.
Was it the right decision by Oli Marmol? Brenden takes some time to explore that question, because while there was a sensible explanation for removing Mikolas, the strategy employed by going to Andre Pallante -- and using the groundball specialist the way they did -- didn't seem to make the most sense.
Also, does another nagging injury for Tyler O'Neill further color the Cardinals' view of whether they can rely upon the athletic outfielder next season?
