Again with the Goldschmidt

The St. Louis Cardinals usually have had just one losing season in the 21st century (2007), and in that season, their record through 66 games (30-36) was still better than their 2023 record through 66 games (27-39).This is their worst record at this point of the season since 1995, when the team finished 62-81 in a strike-shortened year.
