Cardinal games typically last 173 minutes (2 hours and 53 minutes) based on median game lengths. This makes them among the quickest games in Major League Baseball.
Baseball game durations can vary depending on factors such as the number of innings played (extra innings), pitching changes, offensive rallies, and replay reviews. However, the median duration provides a good estimate of a typical game's length.
Median Game Lengths in MLB
The St. Louis Cardinals have consistently been among the teams with the shortest median game times. Here's a comparison of several MLB teams and their median game lengths:| Team | Median Game Length (Minutes) |
|---|---|
| Cardinals | 173 |
| Blue Jays | 174 |
| Padres | 174 |
| Royals | 175 |
| Orioles | 175 |
| Phillies | 175 |
These figures represent the median duration of games, meaning half of the games for these teams were shorter and half were longer than the listed time. While 173 minutes is a strong indicator of a typical Cardinal game, actual times can fluctuate.
