Better record than LaRussa after the 34th game of his third season

Oli Marmol (179-180) is now below .500 as a Cardinals manager.

Started a game. I will mention a number, and you tell me which athlete for comes to your mind. I will go in order - one per day.

Next up: 11

Second Tuesday of the season, same time of day, maybe the greatest team in two generations playing…same attendance.

Kind of quirky that between 2000-2021, only three different @Cardinals started at catcher on opening day, and now we've had three different starting catchers over the last three opening days. cc: @hochman

Lot of people upset with this don’t remember 2015 when we had no backup SS and Peralta limped through the last month of the year with a 215/317/308 and 1 homer because the other option was Kozma whose BA equaled his SLG for the year! Plenty of baseball, let the kid rest.

Cardinals are choosing the path that guarantees he doesn’t reach a point of his batteries getting too low with a somewhat conservative early season schedule, and it also fits to make sure Crawford stays in rhythm while getting used to the bench.

@ncircles2222 Could not agree more. I remember when the Mariners came to Busch for an exhibition in 1995 and my great uncle asked me if my dad was taking me to see Griffey. I said no, but maybe I would see him vs Cards in the WS. Great uncle just scoffed, “This team ain’t going to the WS.”

I know this is not a popular opinion but this is a strange take to me. Assuming you are 40 you experienced 1988-1997 and then 1998-2019. In that time your corner infielders have improved from John Mabry and Scott Cooper to Albert Pujols and Scott Rolen and now Arenado and Goldy

[Benjamin Hochman @hochman]

Here in St. Louis, every season is a big season because the stakes are always high for a time-honored team with a fan base that exceeds three million in attendance annually. But 2024 is actually an even bigger season than your usual big season, if that's possible. They’re now past a decade since their last NL pennant. And last season was so abysmal, there is additional pressure to return to competitiveness and the playoffs. Unfortunately for the fans, the latter isn’t a given.

@CardinalsReek Took them less games to hit a home run during the regular season than Spring Training

[Cardinals Playoff Games @STLCardsGames]

I should clarify the “you” is not directed @hochman but a generic 40 year old Cardinal fan

When you think about it that way, doesn’t it feel gluttonous to ask for more #STLCards #ForTheLou

[Cardinals Playoff Games @STLCardsGames]

You have celebrated 2 WS, 4 NL titles and saw more NLCS games and division titles than your parents or grandparents.

[Cardinals Playoff Games @STLCardsGames]

This references my favorite box score of all time. Deleon faced the minimum while throwing 11 innings against the Reds in 1989…the Cardinals still lost.

These kids will never understand how tough it was to be a Cardinal fan from 1988 to 1995.

[Cardinals Playoff Games @STLCardsGames]

This may be a hot take/controversial opinion, but this home run off Cla Meredith in 2006 was Alber Pujols’ greatest/most important home run for the #STLCards
