There have been a lot of disappointing teams this MLB season, but perhaps none more so than the St. Louis Cardinals. They reached the third worst record in baseball after winning their division last year and earning a trip to the playoffs.
Not much has changed for the Cardinals except for the departure of franchise icon Yadier Molina. Now, they can’t play very well and most hitters struggle.

MLB reporter Jeff Bassan didn’t mince words when discussing the state of the team:
“As mediocre as the Mets and Padres have been this season, no team comes close to the St. Louis Cardinals in terms of outright disappointment. It’s a disaster. Five straight losses. A 27-42 record—the worst in the National League, better than only Oakland and Kansas City.”
Passan mentioned the New York Mets and San Diego Padres, both of which have sub-. 500 records despite spending more than most leagues. However, both of them are a tumultuous distance away from sprinting into the playoffs. The Cardinals play on one of the worst teams in baseball and they just can’t make any headway.
Despite boasting two last year’s top three finalists and a winner (Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt, respectively), the Cardinals are one of the worst teams in baseball.
Nolan Arenado calls the St. Louis Cardinals bad
After losing another lead and losing to the San Francisco Giants (being swept in the process), Nolan Arenado dealt with the reality of the St. Louis Cardinals: They’re no good.
He said after the game (via Clutch Points):
“I don’t know if you’d call it a stretch anymore. It’s just bad baseball. We’ve been playing bad baseball for a while now. Do I think we can play better baseball with the guys we have here? Sure. But it’s not clear yet.”
The team has the third worst record in baseball. They also have the talent to turn the situation around and fortunately, they’re not out for nine games. They’re just as far from the start as the New York Yankees game is, so it’s not over yet.
