Cubs Ready to Ruffle Cardinals' Feathers at Busch Stadium
First Inning
As the Cubs prepare to take on the Cardinals at Busch Stadium, fans can expect an exciting start to the game. The Cubs have been showing a strong offensive presence in recent games, particularly in their ability to score early. In their last outing against the Mariners, they managed to put up three runs in the first inning alone. This aggressive approach has been a hallmark of their strategy and could set the tone for this matchup.
The Cardinals will need to be wary of this early onslaught and aim to counteract it with solid pitching from the get-go. The Cubs' lineup is known for its power hitters who can change the game's momentum with just one swing. With players like Dansby Swanson leading by example, expect them to come out swinging hard.
Middle Innings
Moving into the middle innings, both teams will likely settle into a rhythm as they adjust strategies based on initial performances. For the Cubs, maintaining consistency through these innings is crucial. Their recent games have shown that while they can start strong, sustaining that momentum is key.
Pitching will play a significant role here; Chicago's bullpen has had mixed results lately but showed resilience against Seattle by allowing only one run over several innings after a shaky start. If they can replicate such performances against St. Louis's lineup—known for its depth—they stand a good chance of keeping things tight.
Meanwhile, defensively speaking, minimizing errors will be critical for both sides during these periods where games are often won or lost due more subtle plays rather than big hits alone.
