On Sunday, the Cardinals were lucky to make it to extra innings. Down 3-2 in the eighth, Goldschmidt singled on a swinging bunt to third and moved up to second on Manny Machado‘s throwing error. Then Tyler O’Neill singled to right, but Pop Warner initially held Goldschmidt at third but the ball was misplayed by [...]
It’s July 1st and the Major League Baseball trade deadline now stands 31 days away and we are entering the beginning of trade season. There is one question that every member of the Cardinals’ front office should be asking themselves: what can they do to make this team better? Something important to note is that [...]
Let’s see how far we have to go to have the Cardinals average three runs a game over that span. Three runs a game isn’t much–after all, we noted earlier in the year that they have only a handful of wins with three or less runs, which isn’t terribly uncommon around the league–but I think [...]
Folks, we’ve talked about Jordan Hicks and we’ve talked about Mike Shildt, but we’ve not actually talked about games in almost two weeks. We have to do Heroes and Goats (though if things don’t turn around with my habits, this might be the last year of hitting every game) so a quick run-down. I’ll try [...]
Before last night’s game, Mike Shildt met with the media and held court for a longer stretch than he has since he’s been manager. If you only read Twitter, you would think that he was looking for praise and completely avoiding how this season is going. I really recommend you read the whole thing. Jeff [...]

We have a week’s worth of games to catch up on. We’re not doing that this morning. We have the wonderful weekend with Albert Pujols to discuss. We’re not doing that this morning either. (If you are really interested in that, both Meet Me at Musial and Gateway to Baseball Heaven might float your fancy.) [...]

LOUIS, Mo., June 24, 2019 –The St. Louis Cardinals learned today, following an MRI examination of Jordan Hicks right elbow, that the reliever has a torn ulnar collateral ligament and the team is determining the next course of action for Hicks. Hicks, 22, was [...]
The Cardinals starting rotation has been, in a word, poor. Through June 19th, the starters are mediocre in results (4.30 ERA ranks 8th in NL), bad in process (12th in FIP, 15th in K% & BB%), and bad in value (13th in fWAR). Some credit, their rotation ERA was 11th in Mar/April, 12th in May, [...]
After three straight seasons of missing the playoffs, this season’s edition of the Cardinals doesn’t feel much different than what we’ve seen before. For all the talk over the last few years of improving the team, the team’s performance on the field has yet to make a substantial leap forward. Many assumed that the acquisition [...]
