The Cardinals try to win both games of a doubleheader but first they need to win the first.
The Cardinals, currently on a 9-game winning streak, look to extend that streak to 10 wins with today’s game. Hopefully, it’s an 11-game streak by the end of the day, but first let’s focus on getting it to double digits. For the doubleheader, because Michael McGreevy started last Saturday, the 27th man is Matt Svanson. Cardinals face a tough lefty in...

9 Game Winning Streak Supplants Doom (for now)
Last week I detailed how similar the Cardinals are to some of the top teams in MLB when going by fWAR and other factors not related to their win/loss totals. Since then the Cardinals have sprung out of their early season form as if from a cacoon that was April and the early season. If a bird can emerge from that sort of wrapping, that is miraculous.
It has been a tale of different months so far: April meant 17...

Bring on your questions!
The Cardinals have won 9 games in a row and beat the Phillies last night in Philadelphia. For those who have been tracking the Cardinals early in the season you know that their road woes have been well documented. In a hostile environment against a playoff caliber team the Cardinals answered yet another questions towards their legitimacy this season as they continue to surprise. Last night was a microcosm of the surprises this season. Matthew...

Thanks kindred for the recap
I overheard this at the SBN watercooler today:
“What a difference from two and a half weeks ago... Back then, we had no shortage of “doomers” saying that this team had no chance, and they should just break them up before it was too late.”
That’s not doc howl telling me to relax, that’s The Good Phight describing the recent Phillies run. Philly has won 5 consecutive series, going 11-3. El Birdos have won 8 in a row on the...

Two lefties and Aaron Nola... and Nola is probably the worst pitcher of the three.
The last time the Cardinals faced the Phillies, they were in a bad spot. They were only 5-7, so the record wasn’t too bad, but they had just lost the previous three series to the Pirates, Red Sox, and Angels, which included four extra inning losses. They were set to face Aaron Nola, Christopher Sanchez, and Zack Wheeler. Throwing for the Cardinals were Andre Pallante,...

First career shutout seems a worthy reason to pick him even though there were several candidates
This was some stacked competition. I could have gone in a number of directions with my pick. I could have picked Willson Contreras for a third straight week. He had over a .500 OBP and two homers. I could have picked Pedro Pages, who had a 207 wRC+ in the past week. I had a few pitching options as well, with a scoreless start from Sonny Gray and with...

Cardinals win 8 in a row, complete back to back sweeps of the Pirates and Nationals and win their first series on the road
Well doesn’t that feel good. The first series win on the road of the season! Back to back sweeps! It feels on an emotional that it has been all too often that the Cardinals do not pad their wins total by occasionally sweeping bad teams. And hell, it’s a long season, there are times where it feels like they have trouble...
