St. Louis Cardinals shake up their coaching staff as Brant Brown is out as hitting coach, raising big questions about the team’s offensive direction. With the World Series spotlight on the Tampa Bay Rays and Milwaukee Brewers—teams excelling in small ball and situational hitting—how can the Cardinals close the gap? Stats reveal glaring shortcomings: St. Louis lags behind in batting average, on-base percentage, and clutch hitting with runners in scoring position. The conversation focused on whether the Cardinals should prioritize bullpen upgrades, a third base solution, or chase veteran starting pitchers in the offseason. Several points were raised, including free agent targets like Nick Martinez, Antonio Senzatela, and Jorge Mateo, plus ongoing debates about speed, base stealing, and adapting to Busch Stadium’s pitcher-friendly dimensions. Is a new offensive philosophy on the horizon for St. Louis, and can they mimic the success of this year’s pennant contenders? https://redbirdrants.com/3-players-in-the-world-series-the-cardinals-could-sign-in-free-agency-this-offseason 00:00 Cardinals Hitting Coach Change 14:08 Free Agent Targets Discussed 21:35 Bullpen & Utility Needs Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-st-louis-cardinals/ Locked On MLB League-Wide: Every Team, Prospects & More🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/mlb/ Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
