I don’t have many words for this Red Sox team already, so we’re gonna keep it short. Studs No one? Is it that bad I don’t have just about anything good to say about this game? Duds Where do I even begin with duds for this game. Willson Contreras with a golden sombrero, including getting […]
The St. Louis Cardinals began the 2nd homestand of the 2026 season taking on the Boston Red Sox at Busch Stadium. Before we get to the baseball, the first important moment of the game was the return of Willson Contreras to St. Louis after being traded during the offseason. As expected, he received a warm […]
It’s early April but for tonight, we can say it’s Early-May 🥁 I know the pun is awful, but it kicks off the second of four consecutive series against Midwest based teams. Can the Sox find more momentum off of their first series victory against the Brewers or will the Redbirds emerge on top? Also […]
The Red Sox doubled their win total in 2026 by taking two-out-of-three against the Milwaukee Brewers and, realistically, came within a play or two Monday night from sweeping one of the best teams in the National League. They split the first homestand of the year 3-3 and head off to the midwest for a six-game […]
For those that have missed out on this so far, every Friday at noon(ish), Redbird Rundown posts a short Random Cardinal of the Week episode! I highly recommend checking out some of the names of past weeks, including Khalil Greene and Jason Simontacchi, but every week has been a fun trip down memory lane! This […]
For the second game in a row, the Tulsa Drillers got to double digits in runs scored, this time needing every bit of it to take the 12-9 win over the Springfield Cardinals with some late game drama—one of three wins on Thursday from the Dodgers’ top four minor league teams. Player of the day […]
Today I’m going to take a look at how various Cardinal prospects were assigned throughout the minor league pipeline. Our John Latham has a really well done in-depth look at some of the individual prospects at Memphis here. Gabe provided an easy read focusing on which prospects to follow here. I scored as a “prospect […]
Recap of the game.
It’s a long season that’s just getting underway, but the St. Louis Cardinals are performing in some surprising ways. Jordan Walker…might be a thing? (Crosses fingers, avoids black cats, throws salt over shoulder. Let’s just do everything we can do to manifest it for this kid.) JJ Wetherholt looks to be the player advertised. Matt […]
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
The Tulsa Drillers were the only one of the four primary Dodger minor league teams to win a game on Wednesday. The Drillers delivered a massive slugfest with at least one run scored in each of the first six innings to hand the Springfield Cardinals their first loss of the season. Player of the day […]
It’s difficult to know what to write about this early in the season, because any stats you share are required by law to have the small sample size disclaimer. We all understand this. But it’s not like we can just ignore how players are doing. I wanted to take a post off from my Winter […]
With the Red Sox headed to St. Louis this weekend, it’s a good time to reflect on what these two franchises mean to the history of MLB and how much their reputations have decayed in recent years. The Red Sox haven’t won a division title in eight years and haven’t hosted a playoff game at […]
The St. Louis Blues will undoubtedly be a team to watch very closely during the summer. They kicked off their rebuild ahead of the deadline, as they traded Brayden Schenn and Justin Faulk. Yet, the Blues should have multiple more moves on the way during the summer. Because of this, let's take a look at four Blues who could be on the move this offseason. Robert Thomas, C Thomas was the NHL's biggest trade candidate leading up to the deadline, but ended up staying put. The Blues are expect...
At what point do we switch from saying “it is still early?” to “this is legit”? That is what we tried to figure out with Kevin Wheeler from KMOX on Cardinals on My Time this week with the Redbird Rundown crew. Wheeler is one of our all-time favorites and oh man, did he have a […]
Game Summary The Cardinals open up by leaving the bases loaded in the top of the first, but struck for two runs in the second, keyed by a 2-RBI Burleson single. McGreevy came out and worked in his normal workmanlike manner, which was welcome against this line-up, which has really been scoring runs. The Nats […]
I know that this game preview is a day early, as the Winnipeg Jets do not play until Thursday….but I have a bunch of teleconferences scheduled for tomorrow, so thought I would get it done while I have time.
In Tuesday’s NHL action, neither the St. Louis Blues nor Seattle Kraken used their game in hand on Winnipeg to gain points, as both dropped their contests to stay behind the Jets in the standings. The Nashville Predators did win their match, so they now have a 4 pt advantage on the Tru...
The St. Louis Cardinals will wrap up the first road trip of the 2026 season with a Wednesday afternoon contest against an old friend. While the Cardinals have Michael McGreevy scheduled to make the afternoon start, the Washington Nationals will send Ron Burgundy Miles Mikolas to the mound. Miles has had a rough start to […]
After the bullpen blew it again, the Nats need to get off the mat. Last night was a really disheartening loss that showed just how bad this bullpen is. The offense continues to get the job done though, which is really exciting for the present and future of the club. With a righty on the […]
Talk about terrible timing for the Colorado Avalanche. The Avs were taking on the St. Louis Blues on Tuesday night, and center Nazem Kadri took a shot off the hand, and had to leave the game with an upper-body injury. Colorado won the game 3-1 over the Blues, but Kadri left in midway through the game, and now the team is holding their breath that his hand, wrist, or finger isn't broken. Losing Kadri two weeks before the Stanley Cup Playoffs would be a massive blow to the Avs' dressing room. He...
The St. Louis Blues started their re-tool this season, and heading into this offseason, expect to see major changes continue for their roster. Whether it's Doug Armstrong in charge, or Alex Steen, the Blues are changing up the core of their roster, and we've already seen Colton Parayko almost dealt, Justin Faulk and Brayden Schenn moved, and in the offseason, expect to see goaltender Jordan Binnington moved. Binnington, 32, has one year left on his contract at $6 million AAV. He owns a 10-team...
It has been encouraging to see the offense win in different ways this season, whether it’s a late inning or extra inning comeback… the team cobbling together runs with small-ball tactics, and just edging out the other team; or, just scoring a lot overall. However you want to frame it, this team has just been […]
Jared Bednar and Colorado were unable to clinch the division on home ice against the Blues on Easter Sunday, but they would get another crack at it tonight in St. Louis. Their second meeting in three days fit the season of rematches and revenge, with Colorado finishing with two points this time around. Valeri Nichushkin […]
The St. Louis Cardinals Tuesday night game against the Washington Nationals was a parade of missed opportunities and sloppy play, but the St. Louis Cardinals found more late game magic as Jordan Walker, Nathan Church and JJ Wetherholt played the role of the heroes. Nolan Gorman also had 3 hits and an epic defensive play […]
After a disappointing 3-2 Colorado Avalanche loss happened on Sunday in Denver against the Blues, the teams head east to complete the home-and-home in St. Louis. Colorado will once again have the opportunity to clinch the top seed in the West while St. Louis desperately needs a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. Colorado […]
