Per Joe Trezza, the Cardinals are expected to promote Tyler O’Neill on Thursday. Trezza also says that a reliever would be sent out, which would seem to be John Brebbia unless they can talk Greg Holland into another minor league stint.

It was a night game in Wrigley and the temperatures were frigid. While it’s a stretch to say that’s not the only way last night’s game seemed like a playoff game, it definitely didn’t seem to be a typical game in April either. It was a game the Cardinals–most notably, Mike Matheny–were making a more-than-normal [...]
Home run #: 8 Date: April 17 Opponent: Philadelphia Phillies Location: Busch Stadium Pitcher: Matt Whiteside Score: 3-3 Inning: 4 Outs: 2 Runners on: 1 Distance: 419 feet End of day Sammy Sosa total: 3 End of day Ken Griffey Jr. total: 7 Apparently Mark McGwire did more than rain homers. After his three homer game against the Diamondbacks, the [...]
Rather than risk burying the lede, here is one “truth” that I hope you hold to be self-evident – You don’t need a moronic blogger, loudmouth with a podcast, or a professional journalist to tell you how to fan for your favorite sports ball team. Too many leverage their social media following into a bully [...]
A snowed out game in April is just another reason I’d never want to live in Chicago. I can’t imagine how miserable it would have been to play in those conditions last night. However, it did work in my advantage as getting up to write yesterday just wasn’t happening, so we only have three games [...]
Single Shares Gibson’s Life Story in a Musical Style Reminiscent of Broadway Hit Show “Hamilton” ST. LOUIS,Mo., April 16, 2018– The St. Louis Cardinals have released a song celebrating Bob Gibson as part of their season-long #CompleteGamer fan engagement campaign. The single, entitled #CompleteGamer, was commissioned by the team to try to reach a new generation of [...]
If you listen to enough MLB broadcasts with the sound actually on, at some point you’ll hear a talking head with a mediocre hairpiece bemoan the lack of minority representation in the sport. In keeping with that narrative, they are obligated to mention baseball is losing many such athletes to other sports. If the sport [...]
MIKE MAYER & YAIRO MUÑOZ OPTIONED TO MEMPHIS (AAA) ST. LOUIS, MO –April 16, 2018– The St. Louis Cardinals announced prior to tonight’s game that they have activated both right-handed pitcher Luke Gregerson (left hamstring strain) and infielder Jedd Gyorko (right hamstring strain) from the 10-day disabled list. Right-handed pitcher Mike Mayers and infielder Yairo Muñoz were optioned to Memphis (AAA) following yesterday’s game. Gregerson, [...]
Opponent: Arizona Diamondbacks Location: Busch Stadium End of day Sammy Sosa total: 2 End of day Ken Griffey Jr. total: 6 To hit 70 home runs in 162 games is an incredible feat, of course. If it wasn’t, we wouldn’t be marking the 20th anniversary of it happening. For one thing, it’s hardly ever 162 [...]
Admission: When Joe Mauer was about to step into the box for the at-bat that ended with him picking up his 2,000th career hit, I was angrily mashing portions of my iPhone screen in a fruitless attempt to make MLBtv load faster. I didn’t make it, and my phone almost didn’t either. Shame. Despite recent [...]
I imagine there’s a contingent of fans who are wanting to discount last night’s game because it was Cincinnati and their pitching staff is less than stellar. Indeed, their team ERA after last night is over 6, the worst in the major leagues. Their reliever ERA is even worse, over seven. Their record is 2-10 [...]
RHP SAM TUIVAILALA PLACED ON 10-DAY DISABLED LIST ST. LOUIS, MO –April 12, 2018– The St. Louis Cardinals announced prior to tonight’s game that they have recalled right-handed pitcher Mike Mayers from Memphis (AAA) and placed right-handed pitcher Sam Tuivailala (left knee strain) on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to April 10. Mayers has appeared in two games for the [...]
