A St. Louis Cardinals Fan Community
The St. Louis Cardinals will have to finish their series with the Cincinnati Reds later this season as Sunday’s game has been postponed due to inclement weather in the area for the next several hours. Game has been postponed and will be made up August 17 as part of a doubleheader. Next up for St. […]
The St. Louis Cardinals have passed every test thrown their way so far and are in the midst of another as they take on the NL Central in all but one series over the next two-plus weeks. How the rest of May ends up could tell us whether our expectations have shifted for what was […]
Kyle Leahy was very sharp through the 4th inning in Cincinnati, but it was the 5th inning that came back to bite him as the Reds scored 5 runs in the 5th. The Cardinals offense would come to the rescue late, but the Reds would eventually outlast St. Louis in extra innings. Let’s start with […]
After a memorable game 1 where the St. Louis Cardinals pounded the Cincinnati Reds 8-1, the second game of the doubleheader is scheduled to get underway at 6:15pm central time in Great American Ball Park as the Cardinals will send Kyle Leahy (5-3, 3.94 ERA, 34 SO) to the mound while the Reds will rely on the […]
There were several feel good moments for the St. Louis Cardinals in game 1 of a day/night doubleheader Saturday. Bryan Torres made his Major League debut and collected his first hit and home run while Andre Pallante was sharp and Jordan Walker hit his first Great American Ball Park home run as the Cardinals beat […]
The bad news was Friday night’s game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds was rained out. The good news is that means a doubleheader today. For game 1, it appears that the Cardinals will have Andre Pallante make the start while the Reds will have Friday’s planned starter Chris Paddack on the mound. […]
Matthew Liberatore has had an uninspiring start to his season. He has not been horrible, but many fans, myself included, were expecting him to improve or possibly ascend to a top-of-the-rotation type pitcher. Today I want to do a little meandering investigation into what has gone wrong with Libby and what we should expect moving […]
The St. Louis Cardinals were clear that this season would be a constant desire to compete, but the priorities would be player development and the future. The only thing that is clear right now about Victor Scott II’s development is that what he’s doing to make adjustments is not working against Major League pitching. Is […]
The St. Louis Cardinals weekend series versus the Cincinnati Reds will have to wait until Saturday as the team just announced that Friday night’s game has been postponed due to weather. Saturday will now see a double-header (weather permitting, of course) with the first game being at 12:10pm central time and the night game scheduled […]
On this day, 24 years ago, Jordan Walker was born. Happy Birthday! Young by baseball standards, it feels like we’ve been waiting on him FOREVER! Authors Note: Some of you will fret about the VEB curse, rightfully so. I did a breakdown on Riley O’Brien the day before he blew a save in West Sacramento […]
Game Summary The Pirates re-asserted themselves today to take the game and series from St. Louis, somewhat returning the favor from the Cardinals recent visit to Pittsburgh. The Pirates took no quarter, outscoring the Cardinals 13-2 in the final two games of the set. Dustin May and Braxton Ashcroft lead out in an early pitcher’s […]
After Wednesday night’s dumpster fire, the St. Louis Cardinals wrap up their homestand with a day game against the Pittsburgh Pirates as they try to win the series Thursday afternoon. Dustin May gets the start for the Cardinals while the Pirates will send Braxton Ashcraft to the mound. First pitch at Busch Stadium is set […]
On Monday, I looked at how the pitchers in the upper minors were doing and honestly from a statistical standpoint, it wasn’t great. Mind you, it’s early in the season, and we know pitchers work on things at the expense of the best way they currently know how to get hitters out, and the run […]
Michael McGreevy’s command was not sharp Wednesday night against Pittsburgh, but he toughed his way through 5 innings before turning the game over to the bullpen which is where the game eventually fell apart. That combined with the St. Louis Cardinals offense finding it difficult to get runs across the plate made for an uphill […]
It’s game 2 of the St. Louis Cardinals barrage of games against NL Central rivals Wednesday as Michael McGreevy will try to dominate the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Bucs will counter with Carmen Mlodzinski on the mound for Pittsburgh. First pitch scheduled for 6:45pm at Busch Stadium and game viewable on Cardinals.tv.
It’s time for the St. Louis Cardinals to call up Jimmy Crooks. Ok, so I don’t quite feel it to an ultimatum level like the first sentence reads. Crooks isn’t the Strait of Hormuz, he’s a flawed catcher for a franchise in the middle of a stated “long-term” year. However, I do think there’s a […]
We have seen so many heroic, ridiculously entertaining *but also mortifying Wins this season that it feels like one of those October teams that find ways to win… but in the regular season. Their record in extra innings is 6-1 and they are good in 1 run games. The offense is good at late-inning dramatics, […]
Matthew Liberatore had another strong start, but another not strong ending as he pitched 4 solid innings, but he would not finish the 5th inning as the game got away from him. Fortunately, the Cardinals offense lead by JJ Wetherholt, Nolan Gorman, Alec Burleson and eventually Ivan Herrera picked him up beating the Pittsburgh Pirates […]
The St. Louis Cardinals enjoyed a badly-needed day off Monday, but return to Busch Stadium Tuesday night for a NL Central battle with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Matthew Liberatore gets the start for the Cardinals while the Pirates will depend on Mitch Keller. First pitch scheduled for 6:45pm central time. Here’s the lineup for the Cardinals […]
The Cardinals are off to a 9-5 start in the month of May, continuing their established early-season surprise. It certainly doesn’t appear as though this team is going to let this season go by without a fight, and they’ve been feeding off of the “Tarps Off” trailblazers of the Stephen F Austin Baseball club, who […]
I am a lifelong St. Louis Cardinals fan (now in my sixth decade, thank you very much), but I’m also a baseball fan. Thanks to the massive overhaul that President of Baseball Operations Chaim Bloom successfully kicked off during the offseason, there are many former St. Louis Cardinals on new teams and several of them […]
We welcome back 101 ESPN radio personality and Host of “BK & Ferrario,” Brandon Kiley! BK also hosts the Cardinals podcast “The Redbird Report” with fellow 101 ESPN personality Tanner Hendrickson. This week, Gabe and I dive into all sorts of Cardinals-related topics: the “Tarps off” movement, early-season performances, Roster moves/decisions, and, of course, some […]
Last week, I shared how the hitting prospects in the system were doing. Wasn’t really planning for it to be a weeklong thing, it’s just that the Cardinals seem to have that many prospects worth monitoring. And I definitely didn’t cover everyone too. This week, I’ll cover the pitching prospects. Let’s get started. Memphis Quinn […]
Who’s rising? Who’s falling so far in the minor leagues for the Cardinals? We had on Kyle Reis to speak about that and worked in conversations about who the next man up might be for various spots on the big league roster. As usual when you involved Kyle, it was an entertaining and thought provoking […]
Quiet Sundays can be a good thing, but not when it describes what happened to the St. Louis Cardinals bats as the Royals avoided a sweep winning 2-0. Andre Pallante was not the Cardinals problem Sunday as he gave them 6 2/3 innings allowing 8 hits, 1 earned run striking out 7 with no walks. […]
