Latest blog entries from St. Louis teams across every league
On Tuesday night, the Pittsburgh Pirates fell to the St.Louis Cardinals 9-6 in 10 innings. That was the ninth extra inning game of the season for the Pirates, which is second in the league right behind the New York Mets, who have 10. The Bucs now have a record of 3-6 in extra inning games. […]
We have seen so many heroic, ridiculously entertaining *but also mortifying Wins this season that it feels like one of those October teams that find ways to win… but in the regular season. Their record in extra innings is 6-1 and they are good in 1 run games. The offense is good at late-inning dramatics, […]
Matthew Liberatore had another strong start, but another not strong ending as he pitched 4 solid innings, but he would not finish the 5th inning as the game got away from him. Fortunately, the Cardinals offense lead by JJ Wetherholt, Nolan Gorman, Alec Burleson and eventually Ivan Herrera picked him up beating the Pittsburgh Pirates […]
The St. Louis Cardinals enjoyed a badly-needed day off Monday, but return to Busch Stadium Tuesday night for a NL Central battle with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Matthew Liberatore gets the start for the Cardinals while the Pirates will depend on Mitch Keller. First pitch scheduled for 6:45pm central time. Here’s the lineup for the Cardinals […]

The Chicago Cubs have been slipping lately, losing seven of their last nine games. They now hold only a half-game lead on the Milwaukee Brewers and just one game on the St. Louis Cardinals in the NL Central Division going into Tuesday's play. The starting pitching woes have started to have an effect, as they've surrendered 26 runs in their last three games, going into Tuesday's play. The Cubs are without several upper-end of the rotation arms, and will need to address that. Per Bob...
It’s time to change the username for the Pirates’ struggles against left-handed pitching. The password? Jhostynxon Garcia playing in the Pirates outfield. Pittsburgh promoted the right-handed slugger to join the major league club on Tuesday prior to the first of a three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals. The team optioned infielder/outfielder Nick Yorke following […]
The Cardinals are off to a 9-5 start in the month of May, continuing their established early-season surprise. It certainly doesn’t appear as though this team is going to let this season go by without a fight, and they’ve been feeding off of the “Tarps Off” trailblazers of the Stephen F Austin Baseball club, who […]
I am a lifelong St. Louis Cardinals fan (now in my sixth decade, thank you very much), but I’m also a baseball fan. Thanks to the massive overhaul that President of Baseball Operations Chaim Bloom successfully kicked off during the offseason, there are many former St. Louis Cardinals on new teams and several of them […]
We welcome back 101 ESPN radio personality and Host of “BK & Ferrario,” Brandon Kiley! BK also hosts the Cardinals podcast “The Redbird Report” with fellow 101 ESPN personality Tanner Hendrickson. This week, Gabe and I dive into all sorts of Cardinals-related topics: the “Tarps off” movement, early-season performances, Roster moves/decisions, and, of course, some […]
The Kansas City Royals snapped a losing streak with a win against the Cardinals, but one win does not erase the questions that have been building, and Jacob Milham and Jeremy Greco are not shying away from any of them. The episode opens with an honest assessment of where this team stands relative to expectations, […]
Welcome to another new week A’s fans! The team had a lackluster weekend as they dropped two of three to the Giants. Add that to the series loss mid-week to the Cardinals and the A’s did not have a great time in their latest homestand in Sacramento. It’s in the books and behind us now […]
Last week, I shared how the hitting prospects in the system were doing. Wasn’t really planning for it to be a weeklong thing, it’s just that the Cardinals seem to have that many prospects worth monitoring. And I definitely didn’t cover everyone too. This week, I’ll cover the pitching prospects. Let’s get started. Memphis Quinn […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates were swept by the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday, with even staff ace Paul Skenes failing to secure a win for the Buccos. That was Pittsburgh’s third straight loss, as they sit tied in the basement of the NL Central with the St. Louis Cardinals, both with 24-23 records on the year. But […]
On May 17th in 1995, Gino Odjick of the Vancouver Canucks attacked all five St. Louis Blues skaters in the third period of Game 6 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals in response to Glenn Anderson spearing Pavel Bure in the eye earlier in the previous game. The Canucks lost the game that night 8-2 but won the series 4-3. That's today in NHL history. * See also Today In NHL History - Gino
On May 10th in 1970, Bobby Orr scored the overtime marker in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals giving the Boston Bruins a 4-3 win and their first Stanley Cup in 29 years, sweeping Scotty Bowman's St. Louis Blues. The image of Orr flying through the air with his arms raised after being tripped by defenseman Noel Picard at the moment the goal was scored is arguably the most famous and recognized
On May 10th in 1998, Chris Pronger caught a slapshot in the chest courtesy of Detroit Red Wings defenseman Dmitri Mironov causing the St. Louis Blues blueliner to suffer an acute heart attack, with his team down 4-1 with 16 minutes remaining in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinal. Further footage may be found at the 3:35 mark of the video below. Pronger recovered from the freak incident,
Who’s rising? Who’s falling so far in the minor leagues for the Cardinals? We had on Kyle Reis to speak about that and worked in conversations about who the next man up might be for various spots on the big league roster. As usual when you involved Kyle, it was an entertaining and thought provoking […]
Quiet Sundays can be a good thing, but not when it describes what happened to the St. Louis Cardinals bats as the Royals avoided a sweep winning 2-0. Andre Pallante was not the Cardinals problem Sunday as he gave them 6 2/3 innings allowing 8 hits, 1 earned run striking out 7 with no walks. […]
The sixth and final game of the road trip and the Royals are still looking to get a win. Kansas City has become a mercurial team swinging from long losing streaks to looking great and back again. We will see if they can salvage one in St. Louis this afternoon before heading back to the […]
The Cardinals will try to sweep the Royals on Sunday as Andre Pallante will get the start for St. Louis. Kansas City will send Stephen Kolek to the mound. First pitch scheduled for 1:15pm central time in Busch Stadium. Shirts in the “Tarps Off Terrace” will once again be optional.
Based on almost all preseason projections, the St. Louis Cardinals have outperformed expectations and have shifted the fan view from rebuilding to contending in just a couple short months. Now, as Chaim Bloom has to answer the question “buy or sell”, fans also wonder what this hot start means for this season and beyond. The […]
The St. Louis Blues are expected to trade goaltender Jordan Binnington this offseason. With Joel Hofer ready and able to take over as the team's number-one goalie, Binnington has found himself near the top of almost all then insider's offseason trade boards. The Blues are retooling on the fly and are expected to use Binnington to try and find a top-nine forward who can step into the team's lineup on a regular basis next season. The veteran goaltender had a down season last year, but once again...
We could go through this game play by play and try to deeply analyze it, but they’ve lost six in a row. For the third straight game, the offense looked completely outmatched by a pitcher who has never shown the ability to dominate a lineup. So let’s just hit some highlights and then try to […]
If the St. Louis Cardinals season becomes something truly special later this year, you can look back to this weekend and recognize that this was that moment when the team and their fans kickstarted it all. The “Tarps Off Terrace” returned to Busch Stadium Saturday and the team responded with another victory over the overwhelmed […]
