Latest blog entries from St. Louis teams across every league
I am genuinely kind of surprised Ortiz is this low and it’s not necessarily because I disagree with his ranking so much as he certainly felt like a prospect that would be ranked a lot higher based upon the last three top 20s I’ve run. Speaking for myself, I think what hurts him is that […]
As Spring Training rolls on, the St. Louis Cardinals roster is starting to come into focus, but there’s still no obvious choice for what the back of the rotation will look like. Who do you think should be the 5th starter? The same question could be asked about who the 4th starter will be, too. […]
After being named the Opening Day starter this morning, Cade Cavalli took the ball for the Nats in their Grapefruit League showdown with the Cardinals. He only went three innings in this one, but he looked impressive. Cavalli did not allow a hit and struck out two Cardinals, setting the tone for a strong afternoon […]

Here’s the starting lineup according to the St. Louis Cardinals website:
Meet the Mets The Mets beat the Cardinals decisively 6-1 yesterday, with David Peterson giving up just one run in four innings and Francisco Alvarez hitting a mammoth two-run home run. The Carlos Beltrán redemption tour needs one last piece to be fully successful: another shot at managing in MLB. Nolan McLean’s rise from prospect […]
Last week I used creative accounting measures on the projections systems to come up with a scorching hot take taken from the end of days (of the hot stove season): the Cardinals could win over 80 games. I have predicted 85! Several players will outdo their best projections. As winter is winding down and spring […]
The Islanders’ incredible overtime magic continued with their 10th OT winner of the season, this time built off the foundation of a three-goal comeback and a rare double-power-play conversion from a team whose power play can rarely shoot straight. Mat Barzal finished the 4-3 win in St. Louis, using his speed to wrongfoot forward Jordan […]
Despite the multitude of rumors at the trade deadline, Robert Thomas wasn't moved. The player himself spoke out on Monday, telling Jeff Marek on The Sheet that he was never asked to waive his no-trade clause. However, that doesn't mean the St. Louis Blues won't try again after the season. In fact, according to insider Pierre LeBrun, in The Athletic , a trade is 'most likely' to come this summer. Alex Steen officially takes over for Doug Armstrong as GM of the Blues on July 1. Whether Rob...
The Mets topped the Cardinals 6-1 in Tuesday’s Grapefruit League game to earn their fourth straight spring victory. The Mets improved their Grapefruit League record to 9-5 (along with one tie).
The New York Islanders made a big addition at the trade deadline, landing veteran center Brayden Schenn from the St. Louis Blues in an 11th-hour deal just before the 3pm ET buzzer. Schenn had to be convinced by GM Mathieu Darche & head coach Patrick Roy, however, to waive his no-trade clause before the deal was consummated. The Islanders, as it turns out, didn't have the same luck with their own player, forward Anthony Duclair. According to insider David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period , h...

Good morning, Camden Chatters. We’re just past the halfway point of the Orioles’ Grapefruit League schedule. The O’s played their 17th game yesterday — not including their exhibition against the Netherlands WBC team — and took a 7-2 loss to the Cardinals in Jupiter (the city, not the planet). Most of the Orioles’ regulars didn’t […]
The Islanders’ final out-of-time-zone road trip comes to a conclusion tonight in St. Louis, with a golden chance to go .500 on a four-game trip that began with a couple of stinkers in Southern California. The Blues are in the middle of a cratering season that has brought Brayden Schenn to Long Island. However, they […]
The Mets blanked the Marlins 9-0 this evening thanks to a pair of four-run innings in the first and sixth. The Mets will be back at it tomorrow at Clover Park, facing off against the Cardinals at 1:10pm EDT.
Old friend, formerly of VEB, Ben Clemens of FanGraphs, stopped by to talk some ball! Ben covered several topics including: his VEB lineage and career arc, Ivan Herrera dealing with lower body injuries again, Josh Baez and where would make the most sense to begin the season, Dustin May looking like he’s returning to form, […]
One of the most talked about players at the trade deadline was the St. Louis Blues' star first-line center Robert Thomas. The 26-year-old was notably one of the big-name players that GM Doug Armstrong was willing to trade in his attempted big sell-off. But Thomas has five years left on his eight-year deal, and owns a full no-trade clause. He appeared on Monday on The Sheet podcast with insiders Jeff Marek and Greg Wyshynski to tell us all just exactly how close he came to being dealt (hi...

Dan is joined by Lighthouse Hockey’s Jenny Berman to discuss the acquisition of Brayden Schenn and the games surrounding this season’s Trade Deadline. It was a wild weekend for the Islanders, who dropped two massive duds in Anaheim and LA, then made a shocking last minute trade for the St. Louis Blues captain on Friday’s […]
Hello, friends. There are now 17 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day. Another two weeks of exhibition games remain between now and then, with the last two of these coming as a home-and-home between the Orioles and Nationals. Today’s action, with the O’s facing a Cardinals split squad, is scheduled to air on MLB Network […]
The Islanders finish their four-game road trip with a stop to help Brayden Schenn pack up in St. Louis, where the Blues are returning from a lottery-spoiling perfect four-game western road trip of their own. In full selloff mode, the Blues somehow took out the Kraken, Sharks, Kings and finally the Ducks, with a 4-0 […]

Week 1: Starting Pitching Week 2: Catchers Week 3: Corner Infield This could be a long article made short with the simple word: yes. I truly believe we are seeing the middle infield that will be standing at Busch Stadium for the foreseeable future. But Doc probably would not be happy if my write up […]
