Cardinals take it to the Northeast with a 4-2 Victory featuring Two Home Runs!

Burleson and Contreras provide the offense with home runs while Mikolas does his tightrope walk effectively

First pitch: 6:11pm CST at Citi Field in Queens

Top 1: Donovan grounded out, Contreras walked, and Nootbaar hit into a double play

Bottom 1: Nimmo doubled, Marte singled, Lindor flied out into foul ground, and then Miles Mikolas did his Houdini act and pulled a double play rabbit out of his top hat, which meant that Pete Alonso grounded into a double play, Crawford to Gorman...

Cardinals Ace is Stumping Hitters After Returning from Injury

Sonny Gray has been stumping hitters through his first three starts of the season. Since returning from injury, Gray has started three games and didn’t allow a run in his first 17 innings of the season.

The Cardinals’ start is eerily similar to that of 2007

I probably said this a bunch last year. But I was ultimately proven wrong when the Cardinals ended up being way worse than I thought they would be as a sub-.500 team.

This year, it feels a little bit more accurate to point this out, but the Cardinals’ start to the 2024 season is giving me major 2007 vibes.

Believe it or not, I remember how that season went, and it did not turn out well for the Cardinals. I remember thinking years later that this was...

A Winning plate approach

Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports

Masyn Winn can sure jump high

Baseball has a weird ability to affect my mood, despite being a long season where fortunes could change quickly. It affects the mood of the fanbase similarly it seems. When the Cardinals win, spirits are relatively high and there is at least a modicum of optimism in the air. When the Cardinals lose, especially in a dispiriting fashion, the season is over. Declaratively, there is no chance the Cardinals can possibly make up 5 games...

Game Recap - Apr 24 - Cardinals take down Diamondbacks with late rally

Contreras scores the winning run on a wild pitch | Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports

Now we stop talking about being 0-7 in series’ finales

Pre-game notes

Cardinal’s look to end 7 game losing streak in series’ finales, and thus salvaging an otherwise disappointing homestand with a series win. The last time they won a finale, it was Adam Wainwright Guitar Day. Early game today, getaway day for the Cardinals, as they travel to New York City, then Detroit. This series is a quick...

Cardinals send struggling OF Jordan Walker to minors

The St. Louis Cardinals sent struggling outfielder Jordan Walker back to the minors on Wednesday. Walker, 21, was optioned to Triple-A Memphis after batting .155 with no homers and four RBIs in 20 games.

Cardinals option former first-round pick

Given the Cardinals’ 10-14 start to the season — fifth in the NL Central — they’ll send the outfielder down to try to get the promising young slugger back on track.

Plus a bunch of Ferris Beuller quotes for no reason. Oh... and a little baseball analysis.

I’m back! And when I say back, I mean back. Like back back. Not the back that I was when I prematurely said I was back a few weeks ago. I was just sorta back then. And sorta back is not the same as all the way back. I was just back then. But now I’m back back. I should have been more clear before. But now I mean it when I say that I am the back back kind of...

St. Louis Cardinals did not keep enough Arizona Diamondbacks hits in the ballpark

The Ninth Wave by Ivan Aivazovsky, a work in the public domain

Which is how they lost 14-1.

The Ninth Wave is a painting finished in 1850 by Russian-Armenian painter Ivan Aivazovsky. It is largely considered his best work and one of the greatest marine paintings of all time, if not one of the greatest paintings ever created. Aivazovsky is perhaps the most famous marine painter — most of his works depict the sea and shipwrecks, using them as an allegory for the power of nature and the...

Triple-A Exists for a Reason

Stan Szeto-USA TODAY Sports

The Cardinals allowed Victor Scott and Jordan Walker to skip Triple-A but that worked to the detriment of the organization and perhaps the players too.

Originally this article was going to be about Victor Scott and just Victor Scott, going something along the lines of “Victor Scott is a talented prospect who isn’t ready for the majors yet because of x, y, and z”. But as I was writing this article, I realized I couldn’t talk about Victor Scott without...

Cards look to ride rare offensive breakthrough vs. D-backs

St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol figured his slumping offense was ready to break out at any point. That time came Monday night when the Cardinals rallied from a three-run deficit to post a 5-3 win over the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks.
