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

We're switching to every other week with the column, & this was not a fun one to put together. After weeks of strong play, the team is coming back down from being one of the hottest teams in the league.

The Cardinals come home with a split on the road last week; they took 2 of 3 from the Orioles while dropping 2 of 3 to the Rangers. Not only did they struggle against Texas, a lot of the progress they made leading up to the series disappeared with a -15 run differential

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 Cardinals are back at Busch Stadium to open a 6-game homestand starting with a 3-game Interleague series with the Tigers (May 19-21), followed by 3 games against the Diamondbacks (May 23-25).

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.
