Latest news and updates about the Cardinals
Fernando Tatis Jr. is a two-time Platinum Glove Award-winning right fielder, which is why his error on Friday night was inexplicable. Tatis Jr. misplayed a groundball off the bat of JJ Weatherholt with the bases loaded and it resulted in a Little League grand slam that put the St. Louis Cardinals ahead of the San […]
Few things are more fun than an unheralded draft pick forcing his way into the Cardinals’ plans. Any draft pick has the odds stacked against them, but players picked outside the top few rounds have a vanishingly small chance of putting together a major league career. This week I found myself pondering whether or not […]
It was an electric night in San Diego as a brilliant start by Michael McGreevy and a “Little League grand slam” from JJ Wetherholt led the St. Louis Cardinals to another victory over the San Diego Padres. It would be easy to start drawing some conclusions that are likely overreactions from Friday night’s game between […]
It’s game 2 for the St. Louis Cardinals in San Diego as they’ll ask Michael McGreevy (2-2, 2.52 ERA, 24SO) to lead them to a victory Friday night. Griffin Canning (0-0, 1.80 ERA, 7 SO) will make the start for the Padres. Friday night’s broadcast will be handled by Apple TV, so that 7-day trial is your friend. First […]

Baseball is full of statistical oddities, but the St. Louis Cardinals in 2008 and 2009 had one of the strangest name coincidences in franchise history. Enter Brian Barden and Brian Barton. Both were born in California. Both were born in April. Both were trying to find their footing in the big leagues at the exact […]
San Diego Pardes starting pitcher Michael King deserved better than what he got. The right-hander has returned to form as the ace of the staff, especially with Nick Pivetta, Yu Darvish and Joe Musgrove, on the injured list and he delivered a six-inning performance allowing one run on one hit before he was removed from […]
Authors Note: I wrote this article before last night’s nail biter at San Diego. Think of the ninth inning last night as confirmation of what I wrote. It was poetic justice that it occurred in San Diego. You’ll know why if you finish the article. I continue to resist the urge to parse into various […]
Matthew Liberatore gave the St. Louis Cardinals the strong start they needed to begin their west coast swing as his nasty curveball and a power surge from Alec Burleson made the difference in a victory over the San Diego Padres 2-1 late Thursday night. Matthew Liberatore looked both shaky and nasty in the bottom of […]

Let’s think about the horizon for the St. Louis Cardinals. Is it too early in the rebuild to do this? Yes, of course. Are there more ups and downs coming than a prairie dog in the summer? No doubt. But, isn’t this what it is to be a fan? I love a numbers deep dive […]
The Cardinals had found their replacement for Ozzie Smith, but you don’t actually want to be the guy who replaces the legend. You want to be the guy after that. Poor Royce Clayton, who had to follow his childhood idol, and was perfectly cromulent, but he wasn’t Ozzie Smith. Targeted for free agency and with […]
Box Score The Brewers took control early and never looked back, cruising to a 6-2 win behind a four-run first inning on Wednesday afternoon. They will get a well-earned day off tomorrow before returning home to face the 25-11 Yankees, who currently hold the second-best record in baseball. Milwaukee did all of their damage in […]
Game Summary The Brewers jump Pallante for an early 4-0 with a 3-run HR by Vaughn being the mortal blow. After, the pitchers traded outs into the middle innings, the Brewers tacked on a small-ball run in the fifth to extend the lead. Otherwise, both teams had some traffic but couldn’t buy a big hit, […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will try to wrap up their 3-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers Wednesday afternoon at Busch Stadium after game 2 was postponed due to weather. The Cardinals will send Andre Pallante to the mound while the Brewers starter looks to be Brandon Sproat who was scheduled to be the starter Tuesday […]
The Brewers are back in action today for the series finale of what will effectively be a two-game series against the division-rival St. Louis Cardinals after yesterday’s rainout. Neither team opted to skip the spot in the rotation, so today’s pitching matchup is still Brandon Sproat against Andre Pallante. Sproat has flashed serious potential during […]
After last night’s rainout was announced, I scoffed and thought, what’s there to do now. Well, it just means I have more time to write about the Cardinals! That and, of course, it becomes apparent that the Cardinals aren’t meant to play many games vs their NL Central counterparts this early in the year. Today […]
After the first month of the minor league season, MLB Pipeline reposted their top 100 prospects list with the graduation of St. Louis Cardinals second baseman JJ Wetherholt. Catcher Ethan Salas, playing with the San Antonio Missions, has taken the 100th spot and re-entered the list after being left off at the start of the […]
Due to inclement weather passing through the St. Louis area, tonight’s game against the Cardinals has been postponed. It will be made up as part of a split doubleheader between the two teams on July 7, the next time the Brewers visit St. Louis. The makeup game will be at 1:15 p.m., and the scheduled […]
The St. Louis Cardinals second game against Milwaukee has been postponed due to weather. The team just shared this announcement: The St. Louis Cardinals have announced that tonight’s 6:45 PM CT game against the Milwaukee Brewers at Busch Stadium has been postponed due to inclement weather. The two teams will make up tonight’s postponed game […]
—The Louisville baseball team will try and snap a 4-game losing streak in tonight’s annual Battle of the Barrel game against rival Vanderbilt. The Cardinals have already put themselves in a position where their only path to the NCAA Tournament is to win the ACC Tournament. —Saturday’s Kentucky Derby was officially the most-watched in history. […]
A universal truth about baseball in 2026 is that a big league roster will churn through different players in the organization to get through a full 162-game season. The Cardinals will be no exception to that rule, especially in a season that is designed to see what the young talent in the organization can do […]
The St. Louis Cardinals got a strong start from Kyle Leahy and the offense came through when it mattered as they beat their NL Central rival Brewers 6-3 Monday night at Busch Stadium. The Cardinals offense executed excellent situational hitting early as Masyn Winn walked in the bottom of the 2nd inning. After Nathan Church […]
