It was an interesting offseason for the Cardinals, as they rather abruptly parted ways with their former manager Mike Shildt, despite the skipper leading them to a 90-72 record in 2021 and the second Wild Card spot. It would perhaps have been no surprise to see the club fall off a bit this season ...
Color me shocked. The 2022 calendar turns to October and the St. Louis Cardinals are right where they always seem to be, locked into a playoff spot and hoping to make a deep run, aiming for another appearance in the Fall Classic.
