With the season in its infancy and without enough data to grapple with yet, I’m going to look forward for a bit. Forward to the end of 2026. I’m not a good predictor, so I won’t go there, but I have formulated an outline of what I think success might be for the 2026 Cardinals […]
The Detroit Tigers open their 2026 home schedule on Friday afternoon against the St. Louis Cardinals after starting the season with just two wins in their first six games. That pair of victories came in the opening series against the San Diego Padres — the first two games of the campaign, to be exact — […]
The Mets came into their series against the Giants already scuffling a bit. They had just lost two straight games to the Cardinals, sitting at an even 3-3 record six games into the season. David Peterson was coming off a solid first start of the season against the Pirates, facing off against former Cy Young […]
There are reports that the St. Louis Cardinals have reached out to JJ Wetherholt to discuss what it would take to get an extension done. Is that a great idea or is this much too soon and what would that look like if it happened? It was a serendipitous moment when I asked the question […]
Thank you for the warm reception from my debut article. I’m sure I’ll have missteps along the way, but I’m aiming to live up to the high standard VEB has set. Expect to see me weekly going forward. I’ll see you in the comments! This season is the year of reckoning for Jordan Walker. He […]
Talking on the phone the other day with a pal who follows the sport, but not with the obsessiveness of most of you readers or your scribe, he asked how I was faring now that the season is over? To which I admonished, first the season isn’t over given the little matter of the upcoming […]
Meet the Mets One day after getting shut out, the Mets could only muster one run in the finale to drop the series against the Cardinals. All their offense came off a solo home run by Juan Soto that followed Francisco Lindor getting picked off. They still had a chance to redeem themselves in both […]
Today and tomorrow could be called the true start of the minor leagues. Yes, yes, I know the Memphis Redbirds’ season has already been underway for a week. But later today, the Palm Beach Cardinals have their first game of the season and tomorrow sees the first game for both Peoria and Springfield. I am […]
Game Summary After a one hour plus rain delay, the Mets and Cardinals matched up in a pitcher’s duel, with Liberatore carrying a no-no into the fifth inning. The taut pitcher’s duel was interrupted by a Juan Soto solo HR in the 6th, but matched up by a key two-out, two-strike RBI single by Nolan […]
Six games in, and it’s safe to say that—outside of the offensive outburst on opening day—the bats have gotten off to a slow start for the Mets. They haven’t scored more than four runs in a game since that first one, and numerous games have gone into extra innings because the Mets couldn’t bring enough […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will try to win the series versus the New York Mets Wednesday afternoon starting at 12:15pm at Busch Stadium as they’ll close out the homestand with Matthew Liberatore on the mound. Freddy Peralta is scheduled to make the Wednesday afternoon start for the New York Mets.

Meet the Mets The Mets suffered their second loss of the season, losing 3-0 to the Cardinals and being held to just three hits. Senga had a great start, giving up just two runs in the third inning and going six full innings with three walks and an impressive nine strikeouts. Richard Lovelady made another […]
In March, the St Louis Cardinals finished at above .500 with a three wins, two losses record. Only a few teams hit more home runs than the Cardinals, I mean, four. Is that a few? Only five teams had more RBI. You know who’s at the top? The damn devil magic Brewers. They also have […]
Kodai Senga’s first start of the season went well, but the Mets’ lineup was lifeless as the team lost 3-0 to the lowly Cardinals tonight in St. Louis. It’s hard to come out of seeing your team get shut out by an unimpressive cast of pitchers, but let’s start with the positive. Senga continued to […]
Andre Pallante pitched 5 strong innings and received offensive support from Ivan Herrera, JJ Wetherholt and Ramón Urías as the St. Louis Cardinals shutout the New York Mets 3-0 at Busch Stadium Tuesday night. It’s hard to overstate how good Andre Pallante looked as his pitches were down with great movement as he only allowed […]

While there isn’t a consensus top prospect in the system […]

Last year, we attempted to do a “monthly” reader mailbag series to give fans the chance to guide the discussion. That seemed to be a bit over the top. So, this season, we’re going to try every OTHER month instead. This way, enough time builds up between iterations that fans can develop new curiosities about […]
Ha, see what I did there, St Louis City? There were a bunch of county cops outside the stadium tonight. But it’s the city, dang it! Anways, sorry this recap is a little bit delayed, but I was at the game tonight and had some photography to prepare, just got out of the dark room […]
The St. Louis Cardinals had a silent night with the bats with the exception of Nolan Gorman who hit a moonshot home run as the New York Mets beat the Birds 4-2 Monday night at Busch Stadium. The New York Mets jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead when Francisco Lindor tripled and then scored […]
