FAQ
What does "Game 3" mean?
It’s the third game in a series between these two teams. Baseball teams usually play 2-4 games in a row against the same opponent.
What is ERA and why is 4.14 important?
ERA = Earned Run Average. It’s the average number of runs a pitcher allows per 9 innings. Lower is better. 4.14 is about average for a starting pitcher.
Why does rain delay a baseball game?
Baseball can’t be played safely in rain—the ball gets slippery, the field gets muddy, and players could get hurt. They wait for the field to dry.
What is Cardinals.tv?
It’s the Cardinals’ official streaming platform where you can watch games live, usually for a subscription fee or with a cable login.
Will the game be made up if it gets cancelled?
Yes! If rain forces a cancellation, they’ll schedule a "doubleheader" (two games in one day) or find another date to play.
