Ep. 742: Cardinals Lose A Frustrating One In Front Of RECORD SMALL Crowd At Busch!
Description
Brenden Schaeffer breaks down the Cardinals first loss of the 2025 season, a 5-4 defeat in extra innings to the Angels at a sparsely populated Busch Stadium.
In front of the smallest crowd in Busch III's history, the Cardinals saw walks come back to haunt their pitchers, while not getting enough thump at the plate aside from solo homers by Nootbaar and Donovan off a lefty SP.
Key decisions and moments late came around to help determine the outcome. Ivan Herrera removed early for defensive reasons, Brendan Donovan with a mental mistake on a chopper in the 10th inning and a decision not to pinch-hit Nolan Gorman for Masyn Winn with the game on the line against a RHP.
We dive into Oliver Marmol's thoughts on a number of the key moments and whether we generally had much of an issue with the way the manager approached the key moments of this contest.
