GTBH 6/18/17: They Used To Be Good, But Now They’re Not

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  10 days ago, John Mozeliak shook things up by rotating coaches and releasing Jhonny Peralta.  The Cardinals were 4.5 out on that day....and are 5.5 out now.  What's gone wrong?  How much can the increased offense be traced to new assistant hitting coach Mark Budaska?  How can you replace 4/5ths of your rotation during the season?  When do you raise up the white flag and start looking to 2018?  Daniel Shoptaw (C70 At The Bat, @C70) and Tara Wellman (Bird Seeds, @tarawellman) tackle all those questions and more in this week's Gateway!
