Somewhere along the line, waiting for the resolution to this Cardinals season started to feel like entering a contest to win a free Little Caesar’s pizza. There’s not even a great chance you’ll win the pizza (aka reach the playoffs), and even if you do, it’s... a Little Caesar’s pizza/one game playoff against some monster from the NL West. You’d rather win the pizza than not- hey, I’m not totally knocking Little Caesar’s- but it’s not like you’re getting twenty steaks or something. You’re not even getting crazy bread. With that in mind as the Cardinals float along in purgatory, I want to talk about the odd 2021 that the Cardinals have had in the minor leagues.
