Cardinals opted to keep it traditional with new City Connect jerseys

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.

Ryan Helsley, Carlos Estevez Dish on the Mentality of an MLB Closer

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...

Cardinals Drop Series Finale Sunday Afternoon

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...

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...

Cardinals bash 4 HRs to outslug Red Sox 10-6. Fun game. Lots of action.

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...

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

National League Central Manager Is on the Hot Seat

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.

The Cardinals’ window to win has been shut

Photo by Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty Images

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,...

First month minor league update: pitcher’s edition

Photo by Scott Audette/MLB Photos via Getty Images

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...

Cardinals at Angels 5/15/24

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...
