On this episode of the 11th Inning Stretch, The Cardinals have had some major issues with situational hitting, especially with runners in scoring position. Paul discusses that if this isn&#8217;t fixed, the Cardinals could have a short stint in the playoffs, and may not make it to October at all. He also discusses what a postseason roster might look like, and what the plan is with the bullpen &#8211; or lack thereof. Finally, he previews the crucial Dodgers series this weekend and the Braves series in Atlanta next week.<img loading="lazy" src="http://www.11inningstretch.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/64/2017/01/11Inning-album-art4-LMfm-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="151" height="151" class=" wp-image-29 aligncenter" srcset="http://www.11inningstretch.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/64/2017/01/11Inning-album-art4-LMfm-300x300.jpg 300w, http://www.11inningstretch.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/64/2017/01/11Inning-album-art4-LMfm-150x150.jpg 150w, http://www.11inningstretch.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/64/2017/01/11Inning-album-art4-LMfm-768x768.jpg 768w, http://www.11inningstretch.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/64/2017/01/11Inning-album-art4-LMfm-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, http://www.11inningstretch.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/64/2017/01/11Inning-album-art4-LMfm-100x100.jpg 100w, http://www.11inningstretch.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/64/2017/01/11Inning-album-art4-LMfm-250x250.jpg 250w, http://www.11inningstretch.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/64/2017/01/11Inning-album-art4-LMfm-200x200.jpg 200w" sizes="(max-width: 151px) 100vw, 151px" />This show is brought to you by <a href="http://lineupmedia.fm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">lineupmedia.fm</a>.
