The St. Louis Cardinals played their 41st game of the 2015 season on Thursday afternoon in New York. That means they have played one-fourth of their 162 games this year so far. Actually, if we want to get specific, the Cards had completed one-quarter of their schedule after the bottom of the fourth inning on Wednesday night against the Mets—25% of 162 is 40.5.
Since our Cardinals have completed the first quarter of the season, I thought it might be fun to see how their batting stats compare to the preseason VEB Community projections.
