As the early stages of the 2025 Major League Baseball season unfold, a bright spot has emerged for the St. Louis Cardinals. The consistent, high-level play of infielder Brendan Donovan.

More bad news than you’d like though there are some surprises
Last week, I took a look at the progress of the hitters in the minor league system. One week later, let’s take a look at the pitchers.
Memphis
Quinn Mathews, 24 - LHP (VEB #2 prospect)
Currently injured. Believe me, you don’t want me to share his stats.
Michael McGreevy, 24 - RHP (VEB #6 prospect)
AAA Stats: 6 GS,...

Cards win 5-0. Sweep series. Climb back to .500. Now tied for 2nd place.
Game Result
Sonny Gray throws like a #1 starter, tossing 7 shutout innings in a tidy 89 pitches, with 8K. The Cardinal offense put up fence posts early, mostly with the speed game, as Scott scored from first on hits twice. A late, key hit by Walker padded the lid and sat Helsley down. A strong all around effort results in a 5-0 shutout.

Elite defense + good hitting + good enough pitching can be a success
The Cardinals are more of a postseason threat than the Arizona Diamondbacks. But are they more of a threat than the Cubs, Padres, and Giants?
I don’t think we can catch the Cubs, but I think we can surpass the wild West. St Louis is after all a gateway to the west. We probably don’t have the firepower to catch up with Chicago, but we might since they lost their best two starting pitchers for an undisclosed amount of...
Coming off his first loss and worst outing of the season, veteran right-hander Sonny Gray will try to keep the St. Louis Cardinals' recent roll going when they host the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday afternoon.
Alec Burleson's two-run, go-ahead double in the bottom of the sixth backed up a strong start from Matthew Liberatore as the host St. Louis Cardinals rallied to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-1 on Tuesday night.

The Cardinals look to continue their good fortune against Paul Skenes
Well, the Cardinals are continuing their trend of being a good team at home. They just need to be not an awful team on the road. Good news though. The Cardinals are at home today. No need to worry if the road worries are fluky in tonight’s game. There are other worries to consider however, namely today we get to face Paul Skenes. The Cardinals have given Skenes three of his six...

Cardinals breakout reliever is building the bridge back to Helsley
In 2024 the St. Louis Cardinals strength was undoubtedly their bullpen. The quartet of Fernandez, Romero, Kittredge, and Helsley was daunting for opposing offenses to try and muster any type of comeback against. Adding in contributions from names like Liberatore, King, Roycroft, and Kyle Leahy.
In 2025 the bullpen has been much more volatile, and Oli Marmol and his staff are doing their best to...
In every opportunity Michael McGreevy has had in the Big Leagues, he has excelled. Most recently, a Sunday shutout long relief appearance against the New York Mets.

A VEB Late Nite Recap
First pitch, 6:46 PM CDT, Busch Stadium.
Oneil Cruz dribbled a soft grounder to Miles Mikolas—just a flicker, a glitch, a single. Bryan Reynolds: swing, crack, fly ball, gone. The arch is a fever dream. Cruz floated home. Two runs for Pittsburgh, and the scoreboard blinked like a twitched out tired old eye. Reynolds’ fifth. Time is an illusion: 00:28 ticks by and means nothing.
Andrew McCutchen lifted a pop fly, weak and nervous,...
Willson Contreras had two hits including a go-ahead two-run home run in the bottom of the sixth to help the host St. Louis Cardinals come back to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-3 on Monday night.
game 36
The St. Louis Cardinals take on the Pittsburgh Pirates this evening at 6:45 pm CT. The game will be available on FanDuel Sports Midwest and on the radio on KMOX 1120 AM/104.1 FM.

Cardinals face the same exact pitchers as last series against the Pirates.
Cardinals, I confess I was not confident you would win either game yesterday. I’m not saying I expected two losses before the games started, I am saying in the midst of both games being played, I was less than optimistic they would turn into wins. The Cardinals entered the day 2-5 in one-run games and left it 4-5. I will take that.
Bouncing back from the road four-game sweep to the...

Your weekly schedule for May 5 through May 11
The St. Louis Cardinals put together a winning week splitting a four-game series on the road with the Cincinnati Reds and taking two of three from the first place New York Mets at home. They hope to build on this solid week, first staying home at Busch Stadium against the 12-22 Pittsburgh Pirates before travelling to Washington, D.C. to take on the 15-19 Washington Nationals. Unlike last week, the forecast looks pretty...

for the second week in a row
I was biased when picking this week’s play of the week. Biased in that I didn’t want to give it to Willson Contreras for the second week in a row. Sometimes you just gotta hand it to a guy. The sites haven’t updated yet, so I have to calculate this manually, so forgive me if I am wrong here, but 5-for-19 with one home run, three runs scored, and four RBI as of May 2. Then combined in the doubleheader on May 4 he went 4-for-8...
St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado is one of the best to ever play the position, winning 10 consecutive Gold Gloves between the 2013 and 2022 seasons. He showed why on Sunday night against the New York Mets.
Right-hander Michael McGreevy was solid in 5 2/3 innings of relief to help the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-4 win against the visiting New York Mets, sweeping Sunday's twin bill and claiming the three-game series.
