The St. Louis Cardinals will play host to the Los Angeles Dodgers again Saturday night for game 2 of their homestand versus the west coasters. Michael McGreevy (1-2, 2.97 ERA, 21 SO) will start for the Cardinals while the Californians will toss Roki Sasaki (1-2, 6.35 ERA, 22 SO) on the mound. First pitch scheduled […]
Alright, the Cardinals are back on top of the world following a road sweep of the Pirates and a game one win against the Dodgers on Friday. Today my main objective is to keep the good vibes rolling and focus on what has gone well across the organization so far in 2026! I will sprinkle […]
Thanks to a strong start by Matthew Liberatore and offensive thunder from Nolan Gorman, Jordan Walker and Alec Burleson, the St. Louis Cardinals welcomed the Los Angeles Dodgers to town by beating them 7-2. After a 1-2-3 top of the first from Matthew Liberatore, the St. Louis Cardinals did not hesitate to get on the […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will play host to the allegedly formidable Los Angeles Dodgers, the best team money can buy. Matthew Liberatore will get the Friday night start for the Cardinals while Emmet Sheehan will start for the Dodgers. First pitch is set for 7:15pm central time at Busch Stadium.
If you’ve paid any attention to St. Louis Cardinals baseball for the past two decades, the announcement today was a foregone conclusion. The team has just confirmed that Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina have been elected into the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame because of course they were. In addition, the veterans committee elected […]
The trade deadline is where championships are often won—but not always by the names on the front of the jersey. In this week’s edition of Random Cardinal of the Week, Jim Plaza dives into the short but legendary St. Louis stint of second baseman Ronnie Belliard. Acquired at the 2006 deadline for Hector Luna, Belliard […]
Jordan Walker’s first month has contained some of the highest highs any player is ever going to reach, and some familiar lows. How do we rationalize what we’ve seen so far? We’re about one month into the baseball season for the 2026 St. Louis Cardinals. In the grand sweep of the season, this is but […]
The word “dilemma” refers to a situation in which a difficult choice must be made, often between two or more undesirable options. I see the topic of Catchers on the boards and marvel at how many points of view there are. Pages is unplayable because of his (lack of) offense. Herrera is unplayable because of […]
In the biggest return to St. Louis Cardinals since Albert Pujols, Katie Woo made time in her Hollywood schedule to come onto Cardinals on My Time to talk the upcoming series! I know you all miss her, but she has been enjoying her well-deserved promotion to cover the most talked about team in baseball. Don’t […]
Game Summary Two first inning homeruns by Wetherholt and Walker spotted the Cardinals to an early 3-0 over Paul Skenes, who would ultimately require 100 pitches to make it through five innings. Burleson and Gorman tacked on RBI hits following Pirate mistakes (error, WP). Another game where the Cardinals 3-4-5 hitters collect RBI. That seems […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will continue their PNC Park party week on Thursday as Hunter Dobbins will get his first start for St. Louis this season and he will be up against a guy you may have heard of named Paul Skenes who gets the start for Pittsburgh. First pitch is scheduled for 11:35am central […]
In the comments, when discussing Jordan Walker, Memphis Myke wondered if it mattered that Jordan Walker had minimal protection in the lineup, since he’s followed by Nolan Gorman. Who hasn’t really hit at all this year. Gorman does have a surprisingly high number of RBIs though considering his poor hitting thus far. He has 18 […]
At times it wasn’t pretty, but the St. Louis Cardinals got it done again as they beat the Pittsburgh Pirates Wednesday night 5-4 thanks to Andre Pallante, two doubles from JJ Wetherholt and a game-saving catch by Nathan Church. Let’s start with the excellent start from Andre Pallante as he went deeper into Wednesday night’s […]
The St. Louis Cardinals continue was has been a very enjoyable vacation in Pittsburgh so far this week as they and the Pirates will tangle in game 3 Wednesday night. Andre Pallante gets the start for St. Louis while Pittsburgh will hope Bubba Chandler can turn them around. If weather allows it, first pitch scheduled […]
The Cardinals have blown my mind this season so far. It’s not been pretty: if anything, it’s been a little bit ugly… but here we are, in the middle of our first series against an NL Central opponent, winning the first two games (in not the most easily digestible fashion!). Andre Pallante and Bubba Chandler […]
A lot of things went right for the St. Louis Cardinals Tuesday night. Kyle Leahy pitched a solid 5 innings, multiple Cardinals tried to drown baseballs in the nearby Allegheny River and the St. Louis bullpen was adequate enough for another road victory. The Cardinals lineup struck early and often with Nolan Gorman crushing a […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will have a hard time topping their come-from-behind thriller Monday night when they scored 4 ninth inning runs to beat Pittsburgh 4-2. However, maybe they can score some runs before the 9th inning Tuesday night when Kyle Leahy gets the start for St. Louis. Braxton Ashcraft will take the mound for […]
The 1120 KMOX “Infinity Gauntlet” is now complete! This week, we sat down with KMOX sports director Tom Ackermann! Tom has been covering the Cardinals with the Cardinals’ flagship station since 1997 (almost as long as I’ve been alive). Tom can be heard almost daily, starting at 5:05 AM St. Louis time with Total Information […]
Spoiler alert: There weren’t going to be many highlights to share from tonight’s St. Louis Cardinals game in Pittsburgh as the Pirates bullpen nearly no-hit the birds. However, the St. Louis Cardinals broke the heart of the Bucks thanks in part to a loud homecoming from JJ Wetherholt and a rally for the ages. The […]
The St. Louis Cardinals begin one of their toughest stretches of the young season as they kick off a 4-game series in Pittsburgh Monday night. Dustin May (3-2 with a 5.84 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Cardinals. Mason Montgomery will make the start for the Pirates. First pitch scheduled for 5:40pm St. Louis […]
Questions persisted all offseason as to what this 2026 St. Louis Cardinals starting rotation was going to look like. Matthew Liberatore has not quite found his stride early in the season. Dustin May, after 2 shaky starts to begin the year, has found a footing in the rotation over his last 3 appearances. Andre Pallante […]
There’s been a strategy in baseball of cycling through bullpen arms to get maximum freshness from your fringier relievers. The Cardinals utilized this to some extent last year, but they’ve mostly abandoned it this year. I’ve seen some complaints about it. We are in late April and there’s really only one instance of using a […]
The Cardinals rotation has not performed particularly well. Individual games are quite good here and there, check out McGreevy’s line from his start today, but on the whole they are near the bottom of the league in many important pitching indicators. We were joined by Benjamin Hochman of the Post-Dispatch to consider the rotation from […]
Michael McGreevy gave the St. Louis Cardinals a crucial quality start and JJ Wetherholt and Nathan Church provided the power, but the bullpen wasted all of it as the Mariners pulled out a late inning victory 3-2. Both Emerson Hancock for the Mariners and Michael McGreevy for the Cardinals gave their teams strong starts Sunday. […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will try to salvage a game in the short homestand series versus the Mariners on Sunday as Michael McGreevy gets the start for St. Louis while Emerson Hancock will pitch for Seattle. First pitch scheduled for 1:15pm Sunday at Busch Stadium.
