Closing the books on May

[jcgmoi]

I think these numbers are correct.

Cards and Cubs have both been great but Cubs record is right in sync with their pythag.

Philly is over-performing, Giants and Braves can't get out of their own way, Rockies need to get a grip, and how bout those Nats?

Is bet that ranks top three all time May records.

[jcgmoi]

Maybe but I doubt it. Yanks were 21-7 as recently as May last year.

[scoutyjones2]

[fork]ing Oli!

Maybe but I doubt it. Yanks were 21-7 as recently as May last year.

I meant for a Cardinal team. Sorry.

20-5 in July 2004
21-7 in August 2004
25-8 August 1942
21-4 September 1942

Those are the first two seasons I spot checked since they were two of their winningest seasons.

20-5 in July 2004

25-8 August 1942
21-4 September 1942

Those are best months I see. I’m thinking this is one of our best Mays.

Either way it ranks well with Cardinal history. Good input.

[Baseball Savant]

The 2004 team went 41-12 over 2 months

29 games over in 56 days (minus All Star break) in July and August.

[jcgmoi]

Per mlbdotcom, it’s the best month of baseball for St. Louis since it went 22-7 in August 2022. It’s the Cardinals’ best May since 2013, when they went 20-7.

Thanx good talking points.

Great month

Sadly picked up one lousy game on the equally hot scrubbies

Thanks for the research. That's a lot of games in the dog days of August, especially the 33 played in 1942!

Shame on you 1964 September 21-7

+1 it’s frustrating but still great to see. We are at least in the playoff hunt. Keep it going in June!

[JDW]

20 win months are great, but I'd take 19 win months anytime ................... or all season long. Wouldn't that be fun.
