The City Connect jersey era of MLB has been a bit hit or miss. Of course, there's individual style and taste to consider, but there's little doubting the fact that consistency has been an issue.

The St. Louis Cardinals take on the Baltimore Orioles in game one of their series this evening at 6:45 pm CST.
There is no question that one of the keys to any successful MLB team is having a back end of the bullpen that can ensure that team’s lead is safe … and having a lockdown closer can often make or break a team’s postseason chances.

I don’t want to give you hope, but this series is structured well for the Cards
I want to sincerely thank the Cardinals for stinking up the bed on a day most people didn’t watch the game. Me included. I made a half-hearted effort to find the game on Roku, didn’t instantly figure it out, and gave up. I also had to be at work about a half hour after the game started, so that certainly contributed.
When people sometimes say “just win the...
Through his first five starts of the season, St. Louis Cardinals right-hander Sonny Gray posted a 0.89 ERA while settling into his lead role in the starting rotation.
The Cardinals took on the Red Sox Sunday afternoon at Busch stadium for the final game of a three game set and lost by a wide 11-3 margin behind a short start from starter Matthew Liberatore.
In his third start of the season Liberatore started off hot striking out the first two batters he faced but ran into trouble when facing former teammate Tyler O’Neill. The designated hitter took a 92MPH fastball over the left field wall to put Boston up 1-0. He would find trouble again in...
The St. Louis Cardinals like what left-hander Matthew Liberatore brought to their bullpen, but now he is being wedged back into the rotation. Liberatore will continue getting used to life as a starter again when St.
Nolan Gorman went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBIs as the St. Louis Cardinals surged past the visiting Boston Red Sox 7-2 on Saturday. Lars Nootbaar also drove in two runs for the Cardinals, who have won five of their past six games.

Now would be a good time for the Cardinals to start turning their season around.
Good morning, Viva El Birdos!
This is one of those days where I have time to write something for my Saturday post but I’m struggling with what to write.
There are several things I’m interested in. Sem Robberse’s season in AAA. Some real scouting on Tink Hence. Digging deeper into the rotation, which feels like it might be heading in a frightening direction. Alec...

Pre-Game Notes
Kenyon Middleton has started his rehab at Springfield, pitching twice. Gallegos is on a “rest program” which I read as a euphemism for “shut down”. According to STLtoday, Packy Naughton has started the rehab assignments portion of his flexor tendon...Lars Nootbaar and Masyn Winn each hit two-run homers to power the St. Louis Cardinals past the visiting Boston Red Sox 10-6 on Friday. Alec Burleson hit a solo homer -- his fifth of the year -- and an RBI single for the Cardinals, who won for the fourth time in five games.

a quick series preview
Both the St. Louis Cardinals and their opponent this weekend, the Boston Red Sox, have struggled to consistently string together wins, though the Cardinals a bit more so. Game one of this series is about to start in a few hours, so let’s just do a quick look at how the Red Sox have played so far in 2024.
Opponent: Boston Red Sox
Record: 22-22
Manager: Alex Cora
Starting roster:
C, Connor Wong

A quarter of the way into the season, the St. Louis Cardinals are in danger of a second straight last place finish. The team is 18-25 going into a weekend series against the Boston Red Sox and on pace for just 67 wins on the season.

While a series win is encouraging for sure, it’s important to remember that this series win for the Cardinals came against the Angels, a team without both Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani.
On top of that, the Cardinals had to really fight hard to win the first two games. It took an eight-run seventh inning on Monday to win, and they barely held on Tuesday night to win the second game. And this was against the Angels, who the Cardinals are far superior to,...
on Heyman of the New York Post reported on Thursday that three very well-known names could be candidates for Cardinals manager if the team opts for a leadership change.
St. Louis Cardinals fans are surely frustrated with how the 2024 season is unfolding, but they may have the opportunity to cheer for a franchise legend in a…

Pitchers bring about some bad news, but more good news than bad.
Last week, I gave an update on how the hitters in the system were doing, which was relatively disappointing, all things considered. I think I can say this post will bring about better news. The pitchers in the Cardinals’ minor league system are doing better than the hitters, which is sadly not a high bar. If you want only good news, skip to Palm Beach where there...
They lost, but we kept track of it
The Cardinals enter game 3 vs the Angels with a 3 game winning streak. But they are not good at winning the last game of a series. However, part of that winning streak was beating divisional rival the Brewers in game 4 of a series. So that counts. Maybe it’s just game 3 they have trouble with. Will they overcome that stumbling point tonight?
Lance Lynn took the mound with a 3.79 ERA and a 4.21 FIP. Well guess what, I’m expecting about 4 earned runs...
