The Cardinals had a really good 2 weeks, going 10-3, sweeping 2 series, and seeing improvements from hitting and pitching.

The Cardinals cooled off a little bit over the last week, but they're still playing pretty well overall. They dropped 2 of 3 to the Tigers, which might be worrisome any other year, before sweeping the D'backs. They also dropped the 1st game to Baltimore in their 3 game series thanks to Dylan Carlson.

The Cardinals picked up 2 more series this past week, taking 2 of out 3 from both the Phillies and Royals. As opposed to the sweeps the previous week again the Pirates and Nationals, these 2 teams are in the early playoff picture.

The big league club was off yesterday, but all the affiliates played (and not well). 4 system games tonight. There were a couple of system transactions and some former Cardinal news.

I've been wanting to start a weekly column going over just the numbers: records, runs scored, top players, etc. After this week, this will be a Monday morning thing, but I wanted to kick it off sooner than next week. So here we are.

The Cardinals will begin their 134th season of play in the NL today when they host the Minnesota Twins at 3:15 p.m. CDT in the season opening game of the 162-game MLB regular season.

A pregame ceremony that introduces the 2025 Cardinals, honors the club’s HOFers & celebrates the great tradition of Opening Day in St. Louis will highlight the annual return of baseball at Busch Stadium on Thursday.

The Cardinals announced yesterday that the team has reduced its Spring Training roster to 31 players, with 13 players moving to minor league camp.

Pitchers & catchers are reporting, & it begs the question: how are the Cardinals going to get innings for all their starters? I look at a few options. Plus, it sounds like Arenado won't be moved, arbitration hearings are done, & they bring in 3 on MiLB deals.
