With the season in its infancy and without enough data to grapple with yet, I’m going to look forward for a bit. Forward to the end of 2026. I’m not a good predictor, so I won’t go there, but I have formulated an outline of what I think success might be for the 2026 Cardinal […]
There are reports that the St. Louis Cardinals have reached out to JJ Wetherholt to discuss what it would take to get an extension done. Is that a great idea or is this much too soon and what would that look like if it happened? It was a serendipitous moment when I asked the question […]

Last year, we attempted to do a “monthly” reader mailbag series to give fans the chance to guide the discussion. That seemed to be a bit over the top. So, this season, we’re going to try every OTHER month instead. This way, enough time builds up between iterations that fans can develop new curiosities about […]
