While the St. Louis Cardinals ' nine-game winning streak ended on a rainy Wednesday, manager Oliver Marmol has been happy with the results. He believes the team is strong and confident in the clubhouse and they are full of energy.
What manager Oliver Marmol said about the team?
The manager, Oliver Marmol said it has been fun. He said:
“Even right now, in [the our clubhouse] there are guys nodding because they know that’s how you’re supposed to play the dang game, You are going to lose ballgames, but that’s what you want it to look like, where the other team has to find a way to beat you. With every pitch and every inning, it feels like a playoff game because of the way we’re going about it. It’s been fun and I don’t see them taking their foot off the pedal.”
The Cardinals’ nine-game winning streak had ended after the Philadelphia Phillies scored late. Even though they lost, the team stayed positive and nearly came back.
The Cardinals' pitchers were excellent. They helped the team outscore opponents 47-18. In the last six wins, they gave up two or fewer runs each game. That strong pitching continued in Wednesday’s first game, even though they lost, making it seven straight games with great defense.
Marmol said:
“That’s a really big deal, The pitchers have done well with sticking to the game plan and executing. And the same with the bullpen, but our starters have really been on point.”
Pitcher Erick Fedde believes the team had strong confidence
For pitcher Erick Fedde, the streak gave the team strong confidence they can compete and catch up in their division. He said:
“We’re feeling like a team that is playing well, and as they say, winning fixes everything. The vibes have been high, and the guys have been like, ‘Why not start another [winning streak] right now?’ It’s fun to be in the division race and chasing people down.”
Fedde adds:
“This is kind of what we believed this team could be, It’s one thing to believe something, and another to go out and do it. We’re playing competitively and we’re in the chase in the division. Nobody wants to be 10 games out and feel like [a division crown] is a long way away. This is how we want to play -- overall, it’s been just good clean baseball, and that’s all you can ask for.”

“We had a lot of games left, and they’ve got to stay locked in and not down, When guys do that for me when I have tough outings, that makes you feel better and makes it [easier] to move on. I have no problem picking them up, because they pick me up sometimes, too.”
