Meet the Mets The Mets fell to the Cardinals 4-3 as we enter the last weekend of Grapefruit League action before the start of the regular season. Francisco Alvarez left Thursday’s game early with back tightness, but he already appears to be on the mend. Bo Bichette got some time at shortstop yesterday as he […]
Every new season promises new surprises. Teams and players will drastically under- or overperform projections. Part of the fun of being a fan is planting your flag ahead of time and predicting the next breakout or disappointment (less fun). For example, I think Masyn Winn is going to overachieve every projection system this year and […]
Introduction This short article finishes my effort to articulate some of the observations I made during my visit to Spring Training, 2026. I saved what I think is the best for last. Sidebar: Where I work out, one of the guys that runs the place is an avid Cardinal fan. So I have someone to […]
The Mets mounted a late rally but fell short, dropping their game to the Cardinals by a 4-3 score on Friday afternoon at Clover Park. The Mets were blanked through seven, managing just two hits, before scoring three in the eighth. However, it wasn’t enough to overcome an early four-run deficit.

While the Washington Nationals lost their Spring Breakout game against the Cardinals 9-8, there were so many positives to take away. The biggest storyline was how impressive the Nats youngest prospects were. Yesterday, the biggest contributors were the teenagers. Gavin Fien, Eli Willits, Miguel Sime Jr. and Landon Harmon all showed why they are so […]
Introduction As part of my 6 days in Jupiter, I collected lots of observations and I’ve given to breaking them down and passing them along in manageable (ie. readable) chunks. I passed along some nuggets in game recaps if they were short and relevant to pre-, in- or post-game happenings. Two weeks ago, I published […]

One of my favorite events of Spring Training is the Spring Breakout game. It is a great chance for fans to see some of their team’s top prospects. The Spring Breakout game is here and the Nationals have an impressive lineup. Both the Nats and the Cardinals have much improved farm systems. The Nats lineup […]

As we are in the final stages of spring training, that limbo where you think you know what’s going to be the final roster but not quite, I am sort of at a loss on what to write about. So I’m going to provide some links to Cardinals-related news around the world wide web. As […]

Earlier in the spring, I took a swing at predicting how the final roster was going to be constructed for opening day, and it’s important to note that the roster on March 26th could wind up looking a lot different on May 1st or even August 3rd. This exercise is intended to take a snapshot […]
It’s all but a foregone conclusion that JJ Wetherholt will break camp with the St. Louis Cardinals and be a part of the Opening Day roster, but where should his place in the lineup be? The team has had him in the leadoff position several times this Spring, but should he stay there? Let’s look […]

While the Nationals are 11-6 in Grapefruit League play, the offense has been mostly quiet. The boys will look to change that today in a showdown against the Cardinals. This lineup is pretty close to what I expect the Opening Day lineup to be, so I am excited to see the big guns in action. […]
Week 1: Starting Pitching Week 2: Catchers Week 3: Corner Infield Week 4: Middle Infield We are less than two weeks until Opening Day and despite most outlets choosing the St. Louis Cardinals to finish last in the NL Central, I am still feeling giddy for the first pitch of the season, likely to be delivered by Matthew […]
The St. Louis Cardinals offered us an unprecedented opportunity to have direct access to the thinking of manager Oli Marmol. We were given a 30-minute online session to ask questions and one of the top recommendations from the community here was the viability of a 6-man rotation for this season. Here’s what Oli had to […]
