Pitching? What Pitching?

[billroper]

The Cardinals got swept (badly) by the Red Sox this weekend, mostly due to a meltdown of two of the three starting pitchers coupled with a late meltdown by their closer. Closers will periodically melt down and if they bounce back, it's fine. I think it was probably too many days since Helsley had pitched, which is the sort of thing that leads to overthrowing and control problems.

The meltdowns by the starters are a bigger problem. I note that other starters are available if this nonsense continues...
