Again, it’s hard to know what kind of weight to put on anything this team does, but sweeping a team that currently is in the playoffs makes you sit up and take notice a little bit. It doesn’t mean that all the problems on this Cardinals team are fixed, it doesn’t mean that a big [...]
RIGHT-HANDER TAKES 25-MAN ROSTER SPOT CREATED BY WAINWRIGHT DISABLEMENT ST. LOUIS, MO., July 26, 2017 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced prior to this evening’s game that they have recalled right-handed pitcher Mike Mayers from Memphis (AAA) to take the 25-man roster spot that was created yesterday when the team placed right-handed pitcher Adam Wainwright [...]
Reports are that Harrison Bader is being called up by the Cardinals. The guess here is Dexter Fowler will go on the DL and Chad Huffman will be waived off the 40-man.
New Field for Redbird Rookies Program Unveiled Today at Hess Park in Decatur, Ill. ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 25, 2017 – Today the St. Louis Cardinals, in conjunction with Cardinals Care, the Decatur Park District and Decatur Memorial Hospital, announced the dedication of Dexter Fowler Field at Hess Park in Decatur, Illinois.

I think my Gateway cohost Tara Wellman said it best after the game last night: Nicely done, Birds. I don’t know what anything means anymore, but that was fun for a night. — Tara Wellman (@tarawellman) July 25, 2017 This season has had too many ups and downs, twists and turns for us to say [...]
We had a matchup of postseason glory versus legendary power this morning, so if you missed that, go check it out. This afternoon, we look at two very different postseason moments that both have reverberated through time. #7 Grover Cleveland Alexander strikes out Tony Lazzeri in the World Series (1926) vs #10 Tom Lawless flips [...]
Star Wars Night, Ozzie Smith Bud Bash & Mizzou Night Highlight Ninth Homestand at Busch ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 24, 2017 – The Cardinals return to Busch Stadium for the first time since the MLB All-Star break. The seven-game homestand begins with a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies (July 24-26) and concludes with four [...]
Here we are starting our third week of the Greatest Cardinal Moment Tournament. I know I got into a very good discussion on Twitter (#BestCardsMoments if you want to hashtag) about our 8/9 matchup from last week and I hope that some of the other games have provoked similar thoughts and opinions. Let’s see where [...]
I’m absolutely fascinated by the physics of baseball. Talk about spin rate, multi-axis movement, and moment-of-inertia, and I’m here for it. I’m equally fascinated by how easily the physics of baseball can become distorted or misrepresented by people who don’t actually understand much about them. The Statcast era provides ample data for both intelligent [...]
If the series against the Cubs could have just stopped after the top of the eighth Saturday, I think folks would feel a whole lot better about this team. It didn’t and they don’t. In so many years a squad just 4.5 out at this point in July would have some hope, some optimism around [...]
2017 has not been anybody’s idea of a great season. While it’s not a wasteland, it probably should be worse than it is, given the team hasn’t been over .500 since early June. When we look back on this one, nobody is going to list this as one of their favorite years to watch St. [...]
The days of having to check to make sure I got the Gonzales part right with Marco are officially over. In what can only be described as an interesting first deal this month, the Cardinals acquired the one thing they seemingly didn’t need. Tyler O’Neill represents yet another top-100 type prospect who provides power for [...]
