JJ Wetherholt’s Multi-Hit Game Not Enough-Cardinals Fall to Pirates 7-0

Michael McGreevy’s command was not sharp Wednesday night against Pittsburgh, but he toughed his way through 5 innings before turning the game over to the bullpen which is where the game eventually fell apart. That combined with the St. Louis Cardinals offense finding it difficult to get runs across the plate made for an uphill […]

Why Calling Up Jimmy Crooks Makes Too Much Sense for the Cardinals

It’s time for the St. Louis Cardinals to call up Jimmy Crooks. Ok, so I don’t quite feel it to an ultimatum level like the first sentence reads. Crooks isn’t the Strait of Hormuz, he’s a flawed catcher for a franchise in the middle of a stated “long-term” year. However, I do think there’s a […]

Pirates have the most extra inning losses in MLB

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. […]

2026 St Louis Cardinals Winning Despite Poor ‘Pen

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, […]

Ivan Herrera’s Extra Inning Homer Gives Cardinals Walk-off Win Over Pirates

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 […]

Game Discussion for St. Louis Cardinals vs Pittsburgh Pirates Tuesday

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 Password is: Pirates debut in St. Louis for Garcia

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 […]

St. Louis Cardinals Continue Winning Ways Despite Power Outage

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 […]

Former St. Louis Cardinals Have Found Renewed Success on New Teams

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 […]

Royals Break the Streak but Questions Remain: Lineups, Mechanics, and Mojo

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, […]

Elephant Rumblings: On The Road Again

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 […]

Checking in on St. Louis Cardinals pitching prospects – Upper Minors

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 […]

Pirates move Ryan O’Hearn to 10-day IL

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 […]

Cardinals Bats Go Quiet-Kansas City Royals Shutout St. Louis 2-0

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. […]

Royals vs Cardinals game 47 thread

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 […]

Are we allowed to be disappointed by the Cardinals this year?

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 […]

Royals drop sixth in a row to Cardinals, 4-2

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 […]

St. Louis Cardinals & the “Tarps Off Terrace” Beat Royals Again 4-2

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 […]

Game thread XLVI – Royals at Cardinals

The Royals are now in the midst of their second losing streak of at least five games. They only have a single five-game winning streak to counter them. They could start another one of those today, but it’s hard to believe it while they’re losing. Noah Cameron was surprisingly good for the Royals last year. […]

Game Discussion for St. Louis Cardinals vs Kansas City Royals Saturday

The I-70 series continues Saturday as it’s game 2 of the St. Louis Cardinals playing host for the Kansas City Royals. Kyle Leahy (4-3, 4.31 PCL, 32 SO) will start the Saturday afternoon affair for the Cardinals while Noah Cameron (2-2, 5.55 PCL, 32 SO) will begin the game for the Royals.
