“All or nothing” has become the theme for the St. Louis Cardinals through the first month of the 2016 MLB regular season.
Through 27 games, the Cardinals have managed just a single run or less nine different times. Of the remaining 18 contests, the Cardinals have scored six runs or more in 13 of them.
The Cardinals have the most home runs in baseball, with 40. In sticking with the theme, though, they’ve struck out 220 times (8th worst in MLB).
As a team the Cardinals lead the league in runs batted in at 147. They are second in run differential at +40, yet sit tied for 14th in the league with just 13 wins to show for it.
