Saturday’s matchup between the Cardinals and Pirates had an odd feel to it.

The Blues had an eventful offseason, but is it enough for them to get back into the wild card conversation?
One of baseball’s biggest mysteries is the starting pitcher. Finding innings in a game that’s become so synonymous with injury is hard.

It has been a tough week for the Cardinals with a five-game losing streak plunging their playoff odds below two percent. The season has been more competitive and fun than expected, but the fall from contention stings nonetheless. I am a reasonably logical person, but there is an irrational part of my brain that has […]
Everson Pereira has been a pleasant surprise in his first few weeks with the Cardinals, even if some of his previous flaws have followed him to St. Louis.
Watching the Cardinals for the past week has been similar to that meme where the stick figure pokes the stick at an object saying “do something”. Many of us who witnessed the early season version of the St. Louis Cardinals have been anxiously waiting for the team to do something and they did some of […]
PHOENIX — The recent controversy surrounding Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star Ketel Marte has left the baseball world, with a former Cardinals linebacker now weighing in.

Good morning, Camden Chatters. The Orioles’ frantic march toward .500 has hit another stumbling block. They couldn’t complete the sweep of the Cardinals yesterday afternoon, dropping the finale by a 7-5 score. Trevor Rogers struggled, the O’s offense was slow to get going against a Cardinals bullpen game, and a late comeback attempt fell short. […]
