Check Out All These St. Louis Cardinals Striking Out Like Jamokes

The Major League Baseball campaign is underway and it started off gloriously. Not only did the St. Louis Cardinals lose to the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-1, but they struck out 14 times, like a bunch of jamokes. Here is a video highlighting Pirates starter Francisco Liriano’s impressive performance—he struck out 10—featuring Cardinals struggling against his offerings:

Not only did the Cardinals strike out a lot, but they were humiliated by Liriano, a career .121 hitter coming into this season, managing to drive in the first run of 2016. Further, a late rally put them in position where slugger Matt Adams could have tied the game with a 9th-inning home run, but he harmlessly flied out on a 3-2 count.

What a start to the season!
