Cardinals By The Numbers: 06/16/2025
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.

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

The Cardinals quiet off-season had the tiniest of news yesterday as the team acquired a utility player in trade; scouting report in the link. They also are talking w/ Boston again about Arenado. Plus a couple of minor league roster moves & some former Cards join new teams.
