Per Rob Rains, Stephen Piscotty will join the Cardinals in Chicago for the White Sox series. The corresponding move has not been announced, though it would seem likely Tommy Pham would be demoted and Dean Anna/Ty Kelly/TBD would be waived from the 40-man.
All right, I’ve put this off long enough. I really don’t want to rehash the Pittsburgh series much, so I’m going to do a quick Heroes/Goats for them all (curse my collecting, must-have-one-of-everything mentality) and then some quick general notes. After all, I’ve talked about this series here, here, and here (Episode 6, which should be [...]
We tried something new for this edition of Conversations With C70: an All-Star roundtable that included such luminaries as Dan Buffa, Ben Chambers, Kevin Reynolds, Doug Vollet and Tara Wellman. We had a blast putting it together, so we hope you enjoy listening to it as we wait for more Cardinal baseball!
MITCH HARRIS ON 15-DAY D.L. & XAVIER SCRUGGS OPTIONED TO MEMPHIS (AAA) PITTSBURGH, Pa., July 11, 2015 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced prior to tonight’s game in Pittsburgh that they have recalled right-handed pitcher Sam Tuivailala and left-handed pitcher Nick Greenwood from Memphis (AAA). The team also announced that right-handed pitcher Mitch Harris (right [...]
Sure, MLB has a “Home Run Derby challenge” that the winner can win $5,000. And sure, they have fancy graphics and all the bells and whistles that make picking a bracket easy. But where’s the fun in that? I offer you a chance to compete with people you know for basically pride. Actually, take that [...]
If last night was a roller coaster, it’d have been shut down due to the extreme drops and rises being unsafe for public health. From the highs of a 4-0 lead behind Michael Wacha to the lows of a questionable non-strike call and a bases-clearing, lead-erasing double to the pinnacle of a lightning strike with [...]
Maybe it’d have been easier if they’d been blown out of both games. After all, as someone pointed out on Twitter, the Cardinals sent out their seventh and eighth starters for the doubleheader yesterday at Wrigley Field. It wasn’t Michael Wacha and Carlos Martinez out there, so losing at least one of the games was [...]
Look at Jon Lester‘s line in the box score. Two hits, two walks. Yet that pair of deuces, coupled with a key Kris Bryant error (you’ll note nobody’s ever been excited about his fielding) and the Chicago Cubs ace* left the game down 2-0, a score that was enough though would not be all. *OK, [...]
This has been a frustrating week for folks that like to see the Cardinals dent the plate on a regular basis. The Mobil On The Run folks are pretty happy, since it sometimes takes three games for this offense to reach the serious mark instead of just one, but other than that, it’s been a [...]
The Cardinals were on a six game winning streak. They’d just disposed of one of their divisional rivals. They’d lost all of once at home in the month of June. They were six games up on any major league team and nine games up on their closest divisional foe, the Pirates. They’d won more than [...]
Four games. Two opponents. Two locations. One result. Let’s get to it. Thursday (5-1 at Miami) Hero: I honestly can’t believe I’m saying this, but Pete Kozma got his moment in the sun. A late addition to the lineup when manager and player decided to give Jhonny Peralta a night off, most folks were screaming [...]
Giancarlo Stanton must feel like Mark McGwire did in 1998 and 1999*. Time and time again, he provides the highlight of the night for the Marlins. He’s the reason there were 18,492 folks in the ballpark last night instead of 492. A rough, back-of-the-envelope calculation has him approaching 60 homers by the end of the [...]
