GTBH 8/27/23: Is This String Already Played Out?

Every week, two of the Best Fans in Baseball (TM) bring you all the news and analysis you need about the St. Louis Cardinals.  When your AA affiliate scores more in an inning than you do in a series, you might be a last place team.  Daniel (@C70) and David (@iPopEditor) try to find things to talk about surrounding this team but it's hard to do that and stay positive at the same time.  Are the veterans already checked out?  Who has any buzz around this team right now?  Are the injuries more from an abundance of caution or is there something going on in the workout room?  It's not easy to talk about this team right now but the guys give it their best shot!
