Some interesting numbers from Bernie's column this morning. I knew the cards had been good at home recent years but they are just crushing the NL Central there.
Quote:
As far as visiting teams are concerned, the Cardinals should just go ahead and change the name from Busch Stadium to Bash Stadium. And the place leaves them seeing red.
Since Mike Matheny took over as manager in 2012, the Cardinals have the best home winning percentage (.647) in the majors. And the STL home dominance over that time includes a preposterous 84-37 record against NL Central rivals.
Wait, it gets worse. Since 2013, the Pirates, Reds, Brewers and Cubs are a combined 25-58 at Busch Stadium. That’s a .301 winning percentage.
