The Grich Who Saved the Season

Last night it was a rain delay without rain, tonight it was Cardinals Hall of Fame honors for Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina, so expect Sunday’s finale to be pushed back due to, dunno, no hot dogs in stock or something. But whatever the excuse, the Cardinals could not avoid the inevitable on Saturday. With […]

First Pitch: White Sox vs. Cardinals

In their last 13 games, the Chicago White Sox are batting .192/.295/.335 and have scored just 40 runs. For an offense that is sputtering and seeking a spark somewhere in the lineup, manager Will Venable made a significant shuffle for tonight's game in St. Louis. Colson Montgomery is batting eighth for the first time this season, and Kyle Teel is batting second behind Sam Antonacci. While there will be plenty of attention on how the offense fares against St. Louis starter Kyle Leahy, tonight ...

Game Thread: White Sox (75-72) at Cardinals (73-75) (delayed, to honor a mediocre World Series winner)

Not that there’s any good time to play the National League Central, featuring the best team in baseball in the Milwaukee Brewers as well as the second-best second-place team in baseball. And as the White Sox have found, third- and fourth-place Pittsburgh and St. Louis — essentially equals of the White Sox, give or take […]

Sporcle Saturday: 100 innings in relief

Good morning! It's been a rough go of it for the White Sox lately, what with the offense sputtering in a sweep at home by the Pirates . So, no offensively-oriented Sporcle this week as there hasn't been very much to celebrate about since Sunday's victory over the Twins. On the pitching side, however, something which I found interesting is the innings total that Sean Newcomb is approaching. Entering Friday evening's game against the Cardinals, Newcomb has 83 innings pitched as a reliever. I...

Checking In on the Cardinals’ 2025 Draft Class

Sadly, the minor league season is winding to a close with only Springfield and Memphis still playing. I thought now would be a good time to check out how last year’s draft class fared in their first professional season.  First Round (5th overall) – Liam Doyle, LHP Doyle started the season slow, but ended up […]

As Cardinals honor their past, young hitters are coming into their own

ST. LOUIS – The Cardinals returned home from a three-city road trip with 15 games left on the schedule and roughly two and a half weeks to get last looks at players they hope will be major offensive contributors in the years to come. It wouldn’t hurt, of course, to show off some of that talent in front of large crowds on a celebratory weekend – assuming everyone stays healthy. Joshua Báez and Leo Bernal held up their ends of the bargain Friday night, powering the Cardinals to a 7-3 victory ove...

Bringing the heat: Cards’ No. 9 prospect reaches 102 mph in dominant Double-A debut

Summer might be in its waning days, but all it takes to turn the heat back up is a few Brandon Clarke fastballs. Clarke surrendered a first-inning single and fanned five consecutive batters at one point. The 23-year-old walked just one — an eye-opening fact considering he entered his outing walking more than five batters per nine innings this season. But Clarke was efficient against the Travelers, throwing 36 of his 62 pitches for strikes while generating 12 whiffs on 26 swings (46.2 percent)....

White Sox Drop Fourth Straight; AL Central Lead Narrowed to Half-Game

ST. LOUIS – The following question was posed to White Sox third baseman Colson Montgomery prior to his team’s 7-3 loss to the Cardinals on Friday night at Busch Stadium, in a game delayed one hour and 10 minutes by rain. Is there something acceptable regarding just making the playoffs as a Wild Card, or does this team want the American League Central title? White Sox Irish Quarter Zip Giveaway is Sept. 19 “Yeah, we want to win the division because we feel like we are the best team in the divis...

MLB Mailbag: Williams, Cardinals, Marlins, Ohtani

This week’s Mailbag looks at a potential Gavin Williams extension, the Cardinals’ wealth of catching talent, reasons for optimism in Miami, and Shohei Ohtani’s future as a two-way player. Let’s get into it! Kyle asks: When does Cleveland extend Gavin Williams or do they trade him? Do you think he can win a CY at […]

Cardinals 7, White Sox 3: Down to half a game

Down four with the bases loaded in the six inning, Miguel Vargas briefly looked like he had produced The Swing that might unclog the White Sox offense. Luis Gastelum left an 0-1 sweeper above the knees on the outer half of the plate, and Vargas put good wood on it, launching to left center field. Statcast says it left the bat at 104.3 mph and traveled some 397 feet, and would have left 12 of 30 MLB parks, including Rate Field. Alas, the White Sox departed home yesterday, and Busch Stadium ...

First Pitch: White Sox at Cardinals

At 5-14, Matthew Liberatore is the National League leader in losses. Facing a lineup featuring Edgar Quero at DH, Brenton Doyle in center field and Luisangel Acuña at short, he’s getting the best opportunity possible to avoid a 15th loss, which would put him in a tie for the major league lead. There’s a real… The post First Pitch: White Sox at Cardinals appeared first on Sox Machine .
