FIRST BASEMAN LUKE VOIT OPTIONED TO MEMPHIS (AAA) ST. LOUIS, MO – June 11, 2018– The St. Louis Cardinals announced prior to tonight’s series opener with San Diego that they have purchased the contract of rookie right-handed pitcher Daniel Poncedeleon from Memphis (AAA). The club also announced that first baseman Luke Voit was optioned to the triple-A Redbirds following [...]
It was pretty unlikely that the Cardinals were going to go 19-0 against the Cincinnati Reds this season. The problem is less the loss and the snapping that streak than how that loss came to be. Because with a little more control, that streak could be still running. However, there were two wins before that [...]

Since we last spoke, the Cardinals have split a couple of games with the Marlins. We’ll get to those in a bit–you know we never leave a game unexamined around this site–but let’s take a look at the bigger picture with the Cardinals. It feels like there’s a lot of re-examination going on and as [...]
I often hear, in real life and on TV, about being tough, or working through pain, or being a guy, or to “man up”. With Alex Reyes, and indeed throughout baseball, I wonder if this is a factor. Now, I’m no medical expert and don’t have a degree in any field remotely related to baseball, [...]
We’ve spent much of the year revisiting Mark McGwire‘s run at Roger Maris‘s home run record. Besides his muscular body, one of McGwire’s most notable characteristics was his shock of red hair. We might call McGwire Big Red or something of that nature, but there’s someone else that is always going to own the title [...]
Per GM Michael Girsch, Alex Reyes had surgery today to repair his lat and will miss the remainder of the season. Which is a major bummer but not a huge surprise.
THIRD BASEMAN MENDOZA HIT .369 IN MAY; LEFTY WARNER WAS 2-0 WITH 0.91 ERA ST. LOUIS, MO – June 6, 2018–The St. Louis Cardinals announced today their selections for Minor League Player and Pitcher of the Month for May, with third baseman Evan Mendoza (Palm Beach-A/Springfield-AA) and left-handed pitcher Austin Warner (Palm Beach-A) taking the honors. Mendoza, the Cardinals [...]
Drafted for a second time by the Cardinals, Parker Kelly already knows plenty about the organization. All he has to do is ask his brother Carson. Day three of the MLB Draft just hit Round 20, and St. Louis has mainly focused on pitchers such as Kelly.
A walk-off win, followed by a no-hitter. An off day, where they draft a top talent that usually isn’t available to them. Yadier Molina returns. Carlos Martinez returns. Miami coming to town. There was all sorts of momentum and positiveness and all-around good feelings going on around the Cardinals before last night’s game. Unfortunately, we [...]
The Cardinals believe they have plenty of arms, at least if the first ten rounds of the 2018 Draft are any indication. Rounds 8-10 saw St. Louis add more power to the system and each one comes from a strong baseball program. Lars Nootbaar may very well end up a fan favorite simply due to [...]
