Hey gang, John here. I won't lie--I'm kind of tired right now so my approach on this recap will be pretty...direct? For those of you who are entertained by my rambling, stream of consciousness style of recaps, you may be sad at the brevity of this recap. For those of you who find my style…
Hey, you wanna write for us?
St. Louis Bullpen has been in existence for about a month, and as site founder, I couldn't be prouder of the collective work of this group of writers.

Losing Paul DeJong Hurts
Yesterday, Paul DeJong and Matt Bowman became the 9th and 10th Cardinals presently on the disabled list. Having 2/5 of your team on the DL is never great, but we've weathered these storms before. Consider the impact of each non-Paul DeJong injury: 4 of our injured players are relievers. While each of Bowman, Gregerson, Lyons,…
