“With a Shocking Twist, Cardinals Dampen Lopez’s Opening Day Hopes in a Gripping Showdown!”
The Cardinals have also had a couple of down years. As a Cubs fan, I love to see it. But, I also have a lot of respect for the St. Louis franchise because more often than not, they are fielding a winner. Still, the past two years have been pretty ugly with not much to show for any investment they put together. Last offseason they tried to rebuild the rotation, figuring that was the issue. This year, they didn’t tinker much, but let Paul Goldschmidt, who had an uncharacteristically bad year, walk. The Cardinals didn’t really make any moves this offseason. They should potentially benefit from Willson Contreras back in the lineup everyday after injuries took him out last year. Masyn Winn has gotten some hype at shortstop, and Nolan Arenado still has gas left in the tank. Today, Sonny Gray will take to the hill looking to get his team off to a good start. He was solid for the Cardinals last year with a 13-9 record, 3.84 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP. He was even better when on the home rubber though, with a 2.79 home ERA.Â
