Cardinal pitching was the essence of mediocrity in 2008. They finished last year in the middle of the pack in team ERA, with their 4.19 mark good for 14th in major league baseball. While this isn’t terrible, I believe it only tells part of the story of how they did. In many ways, they were worse than this. The bullpen broke down at the end of the season, which many people attribute to the lack of a good closer. When you take a closer look, I think you will see that the starting pitching was the main culprit.
