The Cardinals had a big week that came out better then it should have; 8 games in 7 days with a 5-3 record. The 3-2 against the Cubs should have been better, and the 2-1 against the red hot Braves was completely lucky. The Cardinals had mixed results from the Cubs; it would have been…
The Cardinals voodoo magic is back this season; since the trade deadline, they are 14-3. The pitching is looking better and the hitters appear a little more consistent. The Cardinals swept the Rockies at home and the Diamondbacks on the road. After struggling at Colorado the week before, the Cardinals looked very strong in the…
This is a jumbo column after missing last week; I would have been in trouble writing during a vacation. It was at least a baseball vacation, where we caught games in Cleveland, Philadelphia, and Baltimore. But on to the Cardinals. I’m not going to even do a brief recap of the games (here’s the Cardinals…
It’s hard to remember that the Cardinals played last week, since the only topic of discussion was Juan Soto; but they did play last week and there were 2 disappointing games to go with 3 wins. The Cardinals were 1-1 in Toronto without Paul Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado, and Austin Romine (all on the restricted list…
Everything was looking up for the Cardinals before starting the second half. They were coming out of the break on a 2-game winning streak, going up against the Reds, and getting Steven Matz back from the IL. They had 5 All Stars and a guy in the Home Run Derby. And then they actually played…
After a rough week, the Cardinals rebounded with a 4-2 week. Granted, they went 1-2 against the Dodgers in an ugly fashion. They went 2-0 against the Reds with a rainout. The Cardinals were lucky to only get a win against the Dodgers. The Cardinals bullpen almost blew game 1 after getting to a 6-1…
Things continue to get worse during a tough stretch for the Cardinals; the Braves and the Phillies are 2 of the hotter teams right now, and the Cardinals showed their current roster can’t hold up to playoff contenders. The pitching is stretched thin and the hitting is very inconsistent. The Braves took 3 of 4…
Ok…the week wasn’t the worst they’ve had this year, but it started a stretch of games against contenders. They handled the Marlins taking the series 2-1; even with the 2 losses, they were 6-4 in their last 10 and headed in a better direction. The Cardinals outscored the Fish 17-7 in the series, thanks to…
So I missed last week, so here is 2 weeks worth of stories, news, and numbers. I’ll make it quick; 4 games against the Pirates, 3 at the Red Sox, 4 at the Brewers, and 3 games against the Cubs over the last 2 weeks. They walked out with a 7-7 record: 3-1 against the…
What a week? The Cardinals get swept by the Tampa Bay Rays, but take 2 out of 3 against the Reds. Normally a 2-4 record would not be good for the standings; yet somehow the Cardinals ended up moving past the Brewers and taking first place. The Rays series was bad; they struggled to hit…
The Cardinals had an interesting, long week. A 3-game series sweep at home against the Padres made everyone optimistic going into a long series in Chicago; the Cardinals were able to salvage 3 wins in the 5 game series. The Cardinals outscored the Padres 14-7. The team played a well rounded game; they hit, pitched,…
