Paul Goldschmidt Shines Despite Cardinals' Loss
by Chase Davis | Cardinals Correspondent | Fri, Aug 2nd 8:21am EDT
Paul Goldschmidt went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two runs scored, and one RBI in the Cardinals' narrow 5-4 defeat to the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance, highlighted by his 17th homer of the season, offers a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers who have been grappling with his uncharacteristic .238 batting average this year. Despite the underwhelming average, Goldschmidt's power numbers remain respectable, and his ability to contribute across multiple categories can still make him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups. However, his high strikeout rate and low walk rate this season are concerning trends that managers should monitor closely.
