Cardinals news and notes: Reds, the farm, and the playoffs(?)

Some Cardinals stuff happened over the weekend. They even won a couple games. Wild, right? Anyway, here’s some of the stuff that posted on VEB over the weekend.

• Ben Markham assessed what the odds are of the Cardinals succeeding if they make it to the postseason. Hey, it could happen! And the odds don’t look so bad once you make the leap that the Cardinals made it to the playoffs in the first place.
• The red baron looked at 2017 draftees and early progress reports on how they have fared in the minor leagues so far.
• Josey Curtis took a look at the previous week’s minor league results across the Cardinals’ farm system.
• On Saturday, the Cardinals defeated the Cincinnati Reds, in a game recapped by IHeartBoog. On Sunday, the Cardinals DESTROYED the Reds, in a game recapped by VanHicklestein.

The Cardinals play the Kansas City Royals next in a home-and-home. It’s fun when that happens. Go Birdos.
