It’s not been pretty: if anything, it’s been a little bit ugly… but here we are, in the middle of our first series against an NL Central opponent, winning the first two games (in not the most easily digestible fashion!). Andre Pallante and Bubba Chandler go at it tonight, hopefully no rain. The Cardinals were 3-2 entering April after five games in late March. So far in April with but 2 games to go, the Cardinals have won 13 games and lost 11. The have swept and been swept, taking care of the Houston Astros in grand fashion on the road while losing to a prior underperforming Seattle Mariners at home in one of the toughest sweeps I can remember, because they were not that far from winning the series, really. Two one-run game losses and a rough loss due to a leaky bullpen. This has been a theme for April. Sometimes the ceiling, which is higher than we thought, just drips, and sometimes the leaky roof just pours so much water in that you can’t have too many buckets. In related news, my first apartment in St Louis had a leaky roof, but not this bad! We can cry about our leaky bullpen, but the Cardinals are still above .500 in spite of it all. This is because they defy logic and numbers. Check out this . The Cardinals win probability has been over 50% only 8 games this year! At least according to fangraphs schedule and the pitching matchups that have occurred. Theoretically, we shouldn’t be winning much at all. Vs Tampa Bay, we won the games we were supposed to lose and lost the game where fangraphs thought we should’ve won. Andre Pallante beat and beat in that series back in March. Perhaps the craziest thing that has happened was last night’s game: fangraphs had the Cardinals at a 39.6% chance of winning with Leahy vs Ashcraft. Obviously the maths aren’t mathing. *Fun fact: Hunter Dobbins has a 31.8% chance of defeating Paul Skenes on Thursday… I’ll take it.* The biggest winning streak so far has been 5 games, and the worst losing streak 4 games. And that all occurred within 11 games! April 14-26. This season might be maddening in the best ways… it has been so far, anyway. It feels like this offense scores a lot of runs or very few; they’ve been streaky so far, moody even. This puts them right smack dab in the middle of the pack in runs scored as a team. With the pitching being so awful outside of a few Cardinal pitchers, it’s amazing what they are doing. The team feels stitched together at the seams but not falling apart, somehow. I guess that’s what happens when your pitching ain’t very good, and your hitting seems very streaky and unpredictable. I have a feeling the defense is what is really keeping us good at baseball. **Comparing Cardinals**
