You can't be this stupid by accident. This Cub series was crucial and has been on the radar since the last meeting in The Lou. There has been ample time to set up the rotation so that this debacle might have been avoided.

gutsy move

tossing reality out there so recklessly

reality is frowned upon by many

For whatever reasons, the Cardinals purposely had Sonny Gray miss both Cub series. Building in extra rest, giving him extra days off and still Gray missed both series against the Cubs. Have to explain that to us fans.

Good point on the rotation. Gray should have skipped last start and thrown one game in Cub series

That error I think hurt us more than a talent shortage.
