Of the three lefthanders slated to pitch in the first half of the Cardinals’ game Monday with the Minnesota Twins, the one who you might think would have the most problems was Brett Cecil. But he threw a scoreless inning and fired 16 strikes out of his 22 pitches in the Redbirds’ 6-1 exhibition win.

Game 6 of the 2011 World Series is on the short list of craziest games in World Series history, with the Cardinals prevailing 10-9 in 11 innings. The Rangers -- who had lost the World Series to the Giants the previous year -- were on the verge of their first World Series title in franchise history, as they led the Cardinals 7-5 going into the bottom of the ninth.

Michael Wacha's Future

Yesterday the Cardinals won their fifth straight game. They came against the Pirates and Royals, so they should have handled those teams and they did. Both teams have a combined -190 run differential after all (which sadly is better than the Tigers and Orioles who are at a combined -475 and yes you read that right). But here’s the thing: just because you should beat those teams doesn’t mean it will happen. Both teams do have a greater than 0% winning percentage after all.

John Gant Has Evolved Into Something Very Good

The bullpen for the Cardinals this year has been a somewhat steady combination of pleasant surprises and disappointing performances. Jordan Hicks has taken a step forward this year, while Andrew Miller has failed to wow in his debut season with his new team. John Brebbia and Giovanny Gallegos look to be solid contributors. But Luke Gregerson and Dominic Leone have failed to help. Meanwhile, Carlos Martinez looks promising so far.

Austin Gomber Gives Up Six Runs In Loss To Mets; Jamie Pogue Is Stitched Up; Dylan Carlson, Chris Beck Impressive

Before Sunday’s exhibition game here against the New York Mets, Cardinals manager Mike Shildt said he saw lefthander Austin Gomber, his starter for the game, as one able to either start or relieve, just as he did last year. Then, Gomber allowed two home runs in 2 1/3 innings as he gave up six runs in a 9-1 loss, meaning he has given up five home runs in his last five innings this spring.
