The Cardinals will try to sweep the Royals on Sunday as Andre Pallante will get the start for St. Louis. Kansas City will send Stephen Kolek to the mound. First pitch scheduled for 1:15pm central time in Busch Stadium. Shirts in the “Tarps Off Terrace” will once again be optional.
Based on almost all preseason projections, the St. Louis Cardinals have outperformed expectations and have shifted the fan view from rebuilding to contending in just a couple short months. Now, as Chaim Bloom has to answer the question “buy or sell”, fans also wonder what this hot start means for this season and beyond. The […]
If the St. Louis Cardinals season becomes something truly special later this year, you can look back to this weekend and recognize that this was that moment when the team and their fans kickstarted it all. The “Tarps Off Terrace” returned to Busch Stadium Saturday and the team responded with another victory over the overwhelmed […]
The I-70 series continues Saturday as it’s game 2 of the St. Louis Cardinals playing host for the Kansas City Royals. Kyle Leahy (4-3, 4.31 PCL, 32 SO) will start the Saturday afternoon affair for the Cardinals while Noah Cameron (2-2, 5.55 PCL, 32 SO) will begin the game for the Royals. First pitch is scheduled for 1:15pm at […]
The 2026 MLB Draft, where the Cardinals hold the 13th overall pick, will take place July 12-14, making it now less than two months away. With the college and high school regular seasons winding to a close, I thought now would be a good time to check in on who the Cardinals may be eyeing […]
The St. Louis Cardinals began rivalry weekend welcoming the Kansas City Royals to town and Jordan Walker was on the welcoming committee hitting his 13th home run leading St. Louis to a game 1 win in the I-70 series, but it would take more than 9 innings to do it. The first three innings of […]
The St. Louis Cardinals return home after a successful west coast road trip to kick off the I-70 series versus the Kansas City Royals. Dustin May gets the start for St. Louis while former Cardinal Michael Wacha will take the mound for Kansas City. First pitch is scheduled for 7:15p in Busch Stadium and the […]
Nolan Gorman has been a long term project in the Cardinals franchise with some obvious upside. The obvious upside, of course, is the fact that when he makes good contact you could build a statue of his pose and the homerun. If you put a Gorman bomb up against a sunset, you might actually watch […]
Authors note: The data in this article is from early this past week. The theme was written before yesterday’s come-from-ahead, then come-from-behind win, but you will see many of characteristics I laid out here played out in the series ending game against the A’s. To start with a high-level summary, the 2026 edition of the […]
Game Summary Today’s game featured stingy starting pitching from both the A’s starter Lopez and the Cardinals Michael McGreevy. McGreevy lowers his ERA to 2.10. Jordan Walker and Victor Scott II hit homeruns, leading the Cardinals to a late 3-1 lead. However, the Cardinals bullpen was unable to hold the lead against the powerful A’s […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will wrap up their west coast swing Thursday afternoon as Michael McGreevy will start the game against the Athletics. Left-hander Jacob Lopez is scheduled to take the mound for the Athletics. First pitch scheduled for 2:05pm central time in Suter Health Park in Sacramento. Game broadcast on Cardinals.tv.
On Monday, I covered the hitters on the Memphis Redbirds (AAA) and Springfield Cardinals (AA). I was trying to fit the Peoria Chiefs (A+) and Palm Beach Cardinals (A) on there, but realized there were a few names that would have been cut that I didn’t necessarily want cut. And I knew I could include […]
Matthew Liberatore had a really strong 4 innings, but it was a 41-pitch 5th inning that ended his night and allowed the Athletics to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 6-2. After a relatively quiet first three innings, the Cardinals were first to score in the top of the 4th inning when Nolan Gorman singled to […]
The St. Louis Cardinals California vacation continues Wednesday night as Matthew Liberatore will start the game for St. Louis. J.T. Ginn will take the mound for the Athletics. First pitch at Sacramento’s Sutter Health Park is scheduled for 8:40pm central time and the game will be televised on Cardinals.tv.
It might come as a surprise, but negative run differential teams sometimes make the postseason. I am not saying that the 2026 Cardinals will finish with a minus in runs, but I’m not saying they are going to make the playoffs, either. Anyhow, I thought I might go all the way back to 1981, let’s […]
The St. Louis Cardinals offense was great out of the starting gate early grabbing a quick 4-0 lead and Andre Pallante’s start was just good enough Tuesday night in Sacramento as the Cardinals offense gave them a 6-4 victory. The Athletics starter Jeffrey Springs threw 26 pitches before recording an out in the first inning […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will continue their west coast swing as they’ll take on the city-less Athletics in Sacramento Tuesday night. Andre Pallante (3-3, 4.34 ERA, 29 SO) will start for the Cardinals while the first-place Athletics will start Jeffrey Springs (3-2, 3.89 ERA, 39 SO). First pitch scheduled for 8:40pm central time in Sutter Health Park.
The 2026 season is already 25% completed, and the seeming haves and have-nots are starting to separate themselves in the standings. The obvious Elephant in the room is that the Cardinals were typecast and predestined to be a member of the “have-nots” group. Someone must’ve forgotten to send the Cardinals their script because, as of […]
I made myself wait 24 hours to write this so I’m not sharing something that’s a result of the disappointment of Sunday’s heartbreaking loss in San Diego. I’m satisfied that it’s the perfect time to get myself mentally prepared for what the rest of this St. Louis Cardinals season will likely become. Is this team […]
This week, it is all about pitching, pitching, pitching! As we are joined by Pitcherlist.com, Nate Schwartz! We cover just about every pitcher on the roster and some in AAA, as well. We also talk some about the offense, so don’t fret if you like talking hitters! I know we promoted a visit with Lance […]
I think now is a very good time to check on the minor leagues. A month has been played at all levels (except the rookie leagues, but they haven’t started their seasons yet) and while a month of playing time isn’t necessarily a good sample, it can tell us things. Players can have such strong […]
It’s hard to believe that the season is through its first quarter already. And the Cardinals are good! We all love the Cardinals of course, but it’s far more enjoyable when they are winning baseball games and we don’t just have to rely on the development of young players to satiate our baseball sweet tooth. […]
The St. Louis Cardinals got a positive if not spectacular start from Kyle Leahy on Sunday, but it was Jordan Walker’s Mother’s Day moonshot that helped the Cardinals nearly beat the San Diego Padres. Almost. If you just look strictly at the numbers, Kyle Leahy really did have a solid start on Sunday. While his […]
The St. Louis Cardinals wrap up their 4-game series versus the San Diego Padres Sunday at Petco Park. Kyle Leahy will start for St. Louis while Walker Buehler takes the mound for San Diego. First pitch is scheduled for 3:15pm central time. Will the Cardinals win or split the series vs the Padres? Let’s find […]
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to those in your lives! By almost all accounts, the 2026 St. Louis Cardinals have surpassed expectations so far this year and are well on pace to blow past preseason win projections, which has made my wallet happy. It has been a full team effort so far, with the lineup coming with […]
