Cardinals' Adam Wainwright's Struggles Persist as Astros Deliver Crushing Blow

Despite two consecutive poor outings, Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol expressed confidence in veteran pitcher Adam Wainwright, stating that he will remain in the starting rotation. Wainwright's latest start against the Houston Astros was his shortest in his 18-year career, allowing six runs in just 1 2/3 innings. This raised questions about how the Cardinals would handle the former All-Star and franchise icon. However, Marmol affirmed his support for Wainwright, emphasizing his determination to bounce back. Wainwright acknowledged his struggles and vowed to keep working hard to improve.

"Cardinals' Marmol faces tough decision on Nootbaar's defensive role"

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol is considering different defensive looks for his team with the potential return of outfielder Lars Nootbaar. Nootbaar's return could mean shifting Tommy Edman back to an infield position, but Marmol is considering how to maximize his mix of fielders to stabilize their defense. The Cardinals have struggled defensively this season, and Marmol is using defensive metrics to assign each player to their best position. With Nootbaar's imminent return, Marmol has a day or two to consider options before making a call.

Cardinals' Stars Rally Behind Manager Amid Losing Streak

St. Louis Cardinals' stars Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado have expressed their support for embattled manager Oliver Marmol amid the team's losing streak. The Cardinals have lost five consecutive games and have the worst record in the NL at 27-42. Despite a roster that features Goldschmidt and Arenado, they enter Thursday 8½ games behind the first-place Pirates in the NL Central. Marmol, who led St. Louis to a division title as a first-year manager in 2022, has drawn criticism for multiple issues this season, including the club's handling of slumping catcher Willson Contreras and the Cardinals' struggles to close out games.

Remembering Rick Hummel: A St. Louis Legend and Beloved Cardinals Writer.

St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol wore a jersey during a game against the Cincinnati Reds to honor the late St. Louis Post-Dispatch baseball columnist Rick "The Commish" Hummel, who passed away on Saturday. Hummel had a running joke with Marmol about wearing his full uniform and not hiding it under a hoodie. Marmol rarely wears a jersey, but he made an exception to pay tribute to Hummel, who believed managers should wear their full uniform. The Reds also had some nice gestures in the press box for Hummel and Cards radio broadcaster Mike Shannon, who recently died.
