Wow, what a year! With all the
injuries the Cards have had to play
through (Carp, Motte, Garcia, Craig)
who would have even thought about
having the best record in the NL and
tied for the best overall...
Here are some other stats for the
Cards this year:
NL best;
|
Runs per game: 4.83 |
|
Batting average w/RISP: .330 |
|
Doubles: 322 |
|
On-base %: .332 |
Team best:
|
Fewest errors: 75 |
|
Fielding %: .988 |
What can you say about Matt
Carpenter as well; He set a
team record for most doubles (54) by
a lefty and led the team and the
majors in hits (199). (The
first time a lefty led the NL in hits since Stan Musial in 1952.)
Yadier Molina's 44 doubles were the
most by a catcher since Ivan
Rodriguez's 47 in 1996.
The Cardinals had 36 wins from
rookie picthers. The most
since 1941.
Trevor Rosenthal
became the first Cardinals pitcher post a season with no more than
20 walks and at least 100 strikeouts.
Adam Wainwright becomes the third
Cardinal pitcher to lead the league
in wins twice during their careers.
Adam also led the league in 2009.
(This year he was tied with Jordan
Zimmermann of the Nationals.)
Mort Cooper and Dizzy Dean were the
other Cardinal pitchers.
This is the Cardinals 10th
postseason appearance in the past 14
years, best in the NL. (The
Braves are next with 9, but the next
closest is the Giants with 5) The
Yankees lead the AL with 12.
The Cards have the NL's best regular season
winning percentage, .561, since the start of the 2000 season.
The Cards have the most postseason games
(95) and won more postsesason games (62) than any NL team since 2000.
The Cardinals
(97), Pirates (94) and Reds (90) matched the 2002 NL West
(Diamondbacks, Giants,Dodgers) with three 90-win teams.
National League Central Division Champs!!!
