We so often talk about the impact of a signature win. A big win that can spur a team on to greater heights because they dug deep and did the improbable. A huge outing that let them know what they are possible of and they ride the crest of that for a week or so [...]
I thought I’d take a look at how some of our off-season acquisitions have started the season, starting with our (sort of) Japanese import Miles Mikolas. So far Mikolas has had two starts, both against the same opponent, the Milwaukee Brewers. One start was home and one was up north in Milwaukee. The stat lines from [...]
Honorary Chair Jackie Joyner-Kersee Returns To Team Up with Runners to Support Kids in the Community ST. LOUIS,Mo., April 10, 2018– Registration is underway for the 9th annual Cardinals Care 6K Run/Walk set for Sunday, September 9. All proceeds from this fundraising event benefits St. Louis area youth, which has raised over $600,000 over the past [...]
I’ll admit, I was one of those that thought it’d be different. I thought Mike Maddux would make a difference. I thought that the new bullpen arms would be extremely effective. I thought we’d seen the end of consistently losing games in late innings, especially with questionable decisions. Instead, it’s like 2017 got dressed up [...]
MIKE MAYERS OPTIONED TO MEMPHIS (AAA) ST. LOUIS, MO –April 9, 2018– The St. Louis Cardinals announced prior to tonight’s game that they have recalled right-handed pitcher Greg Holland from Palm Beach (A) and optioned right-handed pitcher Mike Mayers to Memphis (AAA). Holland, who was signed to a one-year free-agent contract on March 30, appeared in two games for the [...]
After Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo triggered Yadier Molina by directing a rather distasteful obscenity at him during yesterday’s game, the rush to judgment was predictably swift and brutal. Lovullo earned an ejection the moment he started arguing balls and strikes with the home plate umpire, and he earned the wrath of Yadi as well as [...]
Tickets on Sale Now for Game of Thrones Night, Kurt Warner Night, Bob Costas Night, Sandlot 25th Anniversary Night and A Night with the Ecksteins ST. LOUIS,Mo., April 9, 2018– The St. Louis Cardinals have announced the return of Game of Thrones Night to the 2018 Theme Ticket schedule. The club also announced four new theme nights, including a [...]
If most of us could drawn it up (while still being realistic about it), Adam Wainwright would have come out last night and thrown six scoreless innings, leading the Cardinals to an win in the home opener. We would have seen flashes of the old Waino mixed in with a crafty veteran. We would have [...]
Most of the attention of Minor League Opening Day surrounds those that have a shot at impacting St. Louis this summer. And while that is a completely normal reaction, don’t overlook the youngest affiliate that also kicks off tonight. Peoria, after all, was home to Jordan Hicks just last season and sports a pair of [...]
While everyone patiently waits for the future St. Louis closer, the main event from Palm Beach isn’t who throws the 9th but the one who takes the mound hopefully every fifth day. Junior Fernandez ranks 15th on the initial MLB prospect list, but it is the names ahead of him who should be noted. As [...]
If you have never been to a Texas League game, this summer provides the best possible chance to see a roster stick together in Springfield. The SCards can’t help but notice that both of the teams immediately around them last year won titles, and promotions could be hard to come by in order to crack [...]
How do you possibly improve on a historic season? That’s going to be the question all summer long in Memphis, where the reigning Pacific Coast League champs have arguably an even stronger roster. The Redbirds will have to navigate the hitter friendly confines with a revolving door of pitchers, with as many as seven this [...]
