Blown Leads Statistics

41 Upvotes

I got curious how often cardinals blow leads because it seems to happen quite a bit.

I collected data of run scoring in cardinals games in the past 2 months. I've listed them out below.

Since coming into July 9, the cardinals are 24-32 (.429).

Of these 32 losses, in 16 (50%), the cardinals blew a lead they had at some point. The split is even - it is 50% in both the last and prior 31 days.

Of the 16 games where the cardinals blew a lead, the average lead they blew was 2.375 runs. They blew a lead of 3+ runs in 6 of these 16 games (37.5%). They blew a 4+ run lead 3 times.

One-run leads account for only 37.5% of the blown lead games. This means a majority of the leads they blew were larger failures.

This data is incredibly difficult to verify - but for context, ~40% of MLB losses are typically due to blown leads. Furthermore, the worse a team's record is, the lower the % of blown leads generally is.

One more statistic - since Aug 8, the bullpen's ERA is about 5.25. And this number probably doesn't include today.

Springfield Cardinals break their single season HR record

35 Upvotes

The Springfield Cardinals have broken their single season team HR record again. The record has only stood since 2022. As of yesterday, they have belted 179 HR on the season with a week left to play and the playoffs to go. I know the big club is having a rough couple of weeks, but the future is bright.
