RHP Peter Lambert (season debut), selected from Triple A today, will make his first regular season appearance for the Astros tonight opposite the Cardinals and starter RHP Kyle Leahy (1-2, 5.14 ERA). […]
How does a player go from being released by a last-place team to hitting .385 for the St. Louis Cardinals in the span of a single week? In this installment of Random Cardinal of the Week, Jim Plaza dives into the fascinating, “roller coaster” career of utility man Felipe Lopez. A former top-10 pick and […]
It still seems too early to engage in small sample size theater on the Cardinals season. If I’m going to do SSS, this is my choice of topic. It seems like pre-Arbitration extensions are all the rage this year. Some people look at these deals as a little on the reckless side. They ask, “How […]
KMOX’s pre/post-game host Matt Pauley sets the stage for us for the Astros upcoming weekend series vs. St. Louis. Q: Is Jordan Walker now the face of the franchise? A: Interesting question. I’m not sure I’d say he’s the face just yet, but his start to the season has been spectacular. He was literally one […]
There is a lot to like about the 2026 season so far for the St. Louis Cardinals. Through the first 18 games, the team has a winning record and several players are off to a great start. One of the exceptions is Nolan Gorman and the early numbers reveal there is real reason for concern […]
This has been a very interesting season already. Things have gone badly, specifically the pitching, but the “important” parts of the team have mostly been on track. Jordan Walker appears to have broken out, JJ Wetherholt is as advertised if not frankly better with his defensive results, and the late inning combo of Riley O’Brien […]
Game Summary An early run by the Guardians was matched by the Cardinals. Then a pitcher’s duel broke out. Dustin May threw six strong, 1-run innings, enough to capture a win as the Cardinals broke loose for three runs in the bottom of the sixth to break a 1-1 tie, with an Alec Burleson 2 […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will try to win the series versus the Cleveland Guardians Wednesday afternoon at Busch Stadium. Dustin May, who is 1-2 with a 9.45 ERA on the season, will make his 4th start for the Cardinals. Slade Cecconi, who is 0-2 with a 5.74 ERA, will start for the Guardians.
The Cardinals are tied with most comeback wins in the majors at 7! The love to do it in dramatic fashion, too: 5-0 in 1 run games, and 4-0 in extra innings. That both goes to show you can never count this team out, and how easily it could be having a worse time of […]
Tuesday night’s game at Busch Stadium was a parade of solo home runs for both the St. Louis Cardinals and the Cleveland Guardians. JJ Wetherholt homered twice and made some epic plays in the field as the Cardinals showed their come-from-behind heart yet again to walk off the Guardians in extra innings. Michael McGreevy gave […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will try again Tuesday as they will take their 8-8 .500 record up against the Cleveland Guardians at Busch Stadium. According to MLB.com, Michael McGreevy will take his 1-1, 2.16 ERA to the mound for the Cardinals while the Guardians will have Joey Cantillo make the start. He’s 1-0 with a […]
The St. Louis Cardinals’ season is in full swing, and we’re starting to get to more meaningful early sample sizes when it comes to performance and consistent data on pitch shapes. While it’s true that some of the overall numbers aren’t all that impressive. Some of the Cardinals’ relievers are throwing some really exciting stuff, […]
Monday night’s game at Busch Stadium had its good points, but the end result was a somewhat sloppy night for the St. Louis Cardinals as the Cleveland Guardians ended their 5-game losing streak in the head-to-head against St. Louis by winning 9-3. Cleveland got on the scoreboard quickly thanks to a 1st inning Angel Martinez […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will welcome the Cleveland Guardians to town on Monday, April 13. According to MLB.com, Matthew Liberatore will start for the Cardinals while the starter for the Guardians will be Gavin Williams who is 1-1 with a 2.04 ERA so far in 2026. Masyn Winn is back in the lineup tonight.
Completing his strange trek from St. Louis to New York and back, Cade Winquest has been returned to the Cardinals after the Yankees designated him for assignment last week. The Yankees selected Winquest in the Rule 5 Draft last December, but the right-hander ultimately never made an appearance for the team. It was a surprise […]
After taking two-of-three from the St. Louis Cardinals, the Red Sox are 6-9, just two games out of first place in the AL East. Ditto a Wild Card spot. Their run differential is zero. The offense has scored 62 runs, third in the division after Tampa Bay (70) and New York (65). The pitching is […]
We are once again joined by the one and only Brian Walton to talk with us about what he experienced during Cardinals spring training and who is showing positively for the Cardinals’ minor league affiliates early in the season. We covered the impressive start AAA Memphis has gotten off to, Hunter Dobbins, Jimmy Crooks, Tanner […]
We cracked open a mailbag with Josh Jacobs, he of the newly minted MLB.com credentials (pretty cool!), to answer a bunch of listener submitted questions. Scott and I jumped on with him (Jonathan was on assignment watching the Memphis Redbirds. Josh Baez smacked a homer in that game. Maybe Jonathan should be attached to all […]
The Red Sox have only six wins this season. We’re not dealing with a large sample size. Still, today felt like the “easiest” win of the season. The offense jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning with a home run off the bat of Willson Contreras and never looked back. They were […]
Jordan Walker continued his torrid start to the 2026 season, but Andre Pallante had a disappointing start while Brayan Bello was impressive as the Boston Red Sox clobbered the St. Louis Cardinals 9-3 Sunday afternoon. The Red Sox didn’t wait long to get on the board as former Cardinal Willson Contreras hit a two-run homer […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will try to win the series versus the Boston Red Sox Sunday afternoon after a disappointing end to Saturday night’s game. According to MLB.com, Andre Pallante will start for St. Louis while Brayan Bello will take the mound for Boston. Game is scheduled to be broadcast on Cardinals TV. First pitch […]
If you are going to sit there and tell me you have not been entertained by the St. Louis Cardinals so far this year, I would have to check your pulse. Whether it was JJ Wetherholt homering in his debut then walking off one game later, Jordan Walker sitting at the top of every offensive […]
Louisville Redbirds 6, Charlotte Knights 4The Redbirds have done a number on several Knights relievers this series, and this time it was Tyler Schweitzer’s turn to face the music. Schweitzer earned the loss after giving up the go-ahead, three-run homer off a changeup right down the pipe. Korey Lee attempted to rally a comeback by […]
Thank the baseball GODs for that ninth inning. The Red Sox came into the final frame with a tenuous one-run lead, after Garrett Whitlock gave up a solo shot to Jordan Walker in the bottom of the 8th. Trevor Story led off with a walk—something that hasn’t been a big help to the Red Sox […]
The Cardinals entered the night with a robust 8-5 record while the Red Sox were trying to avoid their 10th loss of the young season. The game was broadcast on Fox so we were given some Smoltz announcing action, which could be described as a mix of lackluster and uninformed. Kyle Leahy was smooth and […]
