More negative comments from the clubhouse

Tommy Pham

:

"“Man. We’re not good. We’re not dynamic. We lack speed. We lack power. And if you look at all the good teams, they have that. They have both of those elements – speed and power. We just have a lot of guys, man, who are still trying to figure it out. And that element doesn’t help either.”"

Is the clubhouse united?

Are the players/management coming to the realization that this isn’t the Cardinals’ year despite still being in the race?

What has caused to go awry in 2017?
