Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 18:50:55 GMT

These conditions are primed in early spring, when a lack of green vegetation means not as many environmental factors to cushion the risk. "With all the dead grass and leaves, the tree...

ST. LOUIS - It's early, but the St. Louis Cardinals are in a very unfamiliar spot. The Cardinals have the worst record in the National League just 10 games into the 2023 season. After Monday's road loss, the St. Louis Cardinals stand at 3-7 in the new campaign. St. Louis won two of three games in its opening series, though has dropped six of its last seven games since then.

The last time the Cardinals started worse than 3-7 was in 1973, when the team started 1-9. Of those aforementioned teams, none of them ended up making playoffs.
