The Cardinals Can Only Go So Far Without Paul Goldschmidt

Coming off of a disappointment for the ages last year, the St. Louis Cardinals entered the 2024 campaign with high hopes. There’s no way a team with so much talent could remain a last-place one, right?

Thursday Open Thread

Rick Osentoski-USA TODAY Sports

Some off-day prompts for discussion

I’m going to be straight with you guys. I forgot it was my day. I’m sitting here, about to go to bed, getting this weird feeling that I’m forgetting something. The kind of feeling that prevents you from being able to sleep. When I got around to thinking what day it was, it dawned on me. I even had a plan for what to write.

Truth be told, the cause of this forgetfulness is something not related to...

Game Recap - May 1 - Cardinals fall short in Detroit, lose game and series

Vierling’s HR makes the difference in low scoring affair | Rick Osentoski-USA TODAY Sports

A new day, a new month. Same offense, though.

Pre-Game Notes

Comerica Park is mostly neutral, with a slight favor to LH batters. It isn’t truly neutral, in that it has some odd dimensions which distort things, but all the quirks seem to cancel out. For example, 420 to CF isn’t exactly friendly to a batter (ask Pedro Pages about that). But narrow foul areas and shorter RF fence help...

Quick ‘n Dirty Analysis: Catching Up on the Rotation

How is the rotation doing? Pretty much exactly as expected.

Good morning, Viva El Birdos!

As I mentioned in my post last Wednesday, I am trying to get caught up on the 2024 Cardinals after essentially missing the first month of action. If I’m going to bring you content – in written or podcast form – on this year’s Cardinals team, I have to know what I’m talking about. (At least as much as usual.) That means research. If I’m going to take the...

The Numbers that Describe the Cardinals Offensive Struggles

Joe Puetz-USA TODAY Sports

A brief overview on what the numbers tell us about the Cardinals offense both now and moving forward.

The Cardinals offense has been bad. If you’ve watched the games you know this. Even if you haven’t watched the games you probably know this because the lack of offense might be the reason why you aren’t watching the games.

There’s no other way to put this. The Cardinals offense has been bad.

So today I want to dig into the some of the numbers that tell us...

A Tribute to the White Rat

Whiteyball Changed the game in the 1980’s

My first era as a baseball fan was the 1980s. Things were different back then. Astroturf was a LOT more popular during that era. There were only two divisions per league, so the Cardinals were in the East. How strange is that? As a kid, my main worry was the... NY Mets. My dad would yell at the tv, making fun of many of the Mets players names and possessing a derision somewhere between playful and utter.

The National League in the 1980s...

Better is the word against the Detroit Tigers in this 3-game series

Brian Bradshaw Sevald-USA TODAY Sports

These are not your old Tigers, although it’s not clear they are actually good either.

Something interesting about yesterday’s loss is that normally a loss like that is devastating for more reasons than one. In order to get to the 11th inning and be put into that situation, you will use all your good pitchers and squander great pitching. If you can call it a bright side, the Cardinals’ loss is only devastating by wins and losses. A fact which is...

Cardinals Drop Series Finale in Extras

The Cardinals, going for the series sweep, lost a heartbreaker Sunday afternoon 4-2 against the Mets in 11 innings.

In a game that saw very little offense by either team, St. Louis found themselves up a run in the 11th inning on a Brenden Donovan RBI single. With the lead Mathew Liberatore trotted back out for his 3rd inning of work out of the bullpen. Liberatore was able to get two quick outs on a Tyrone Taylor ground out that advanced the ghost runner to third and a Jeff McNeil...
