Yesterday, either after the game on FOX Sports Midwest, Sunday morning on KSDK, or for me last night (after finishing up Gateway to Baseball Heaven) on KTHV here in Arkansas, the Cardinals aired their new in-house TV show, Cardinals Insider. Hosted by Lindsey Weber, who until she took on this project was the blogger liaison (among [...]
Our look at 2011 continues with a recap of the first split squad games of that spring. Man, was I really talking glowingly about Zack Cox? And it’s good to know that the more things change, the more “resting Molina” means exactly the same thing. One Day, Two Results One of those interesting quirks of [...]
It’s one of those rites of spring, one of those signs that baseball is returning. For the eighth straight year, we’re Playing Pepper! We’ll ask six questions of bloggers for each major league team as a way of getting familiar with those teams that don’t wear the birds on the bat. This year, this series will [...]
The last time we saw Tyler Lyons on a major league mound, he was finishing up seven scoreless innings against the Pirates, clinching the National League Central. The stakes may have changed, but the results really didn’t. The Patron Pitcher allowed just a solo home run to Marcell Ozuna (who also hit a double against [...]
In this chapter of our look back, we realize just why I’m so glad I’m on Wordpress now. Leaping for Lynn I wrote out a nice, solid post, full of links and thoughts. Then I go to post it and Movable Type picks that moment to tell me that an upgrade is needed. And, of [...]

Last year, the Philadelphia Phillies caught a lot of grief for losing to the college team on their spring schedule. For seven innings, the Cardinals looked to repeat the feat this season. I’m sure the Internet wouldn’t have played that up at all, given how they feel about the Redbirds. Thankfully, they remembered in the [...]
We continue our look back at the championship season of 2011. Thankfully, neither of these issues turned out to be that significant, though at the time there were plenty of worries. First Win of the Year Might Be Costly The Cardinals won their first game of the spring yesterday. They hope they didn’t lose much [...]

Per Derrick Goold, the Cardinals will announce an extension agreement with Kolten Wong this morning. We’ll talk about the details when they are available, but avoiding arbitration is rarely a bad thing.
It’s been a while since the Cardinals opened their spring training slate of games against a college team. It’s not an unheard of phenomenon, of course, as there are a handful of such games around baseball every year. (You may remember last year the Phillies actually lost to their college opponent.) Most of the starters [...]
We continue to look back at 2011 with a glance at the first game played by the squad on the fields of Jupiter. Thankfully, it wasn’t an omen. Off On The Wrong Foot After months and months of the cold winter void, even a loss to the Marlins looks good. Cardinals stumbled out of the [...]
