When the Cardinals aren’t clearly the best team in baseball, the BFiB quickly regress into a petulant child resolutely demanding the return of a favorite toy they’ve accidentally tossed through a second story window. Much like that child can only focus on the assured destruction of that toy due to the incomprehensibility of object constancy, [...]
On one end, the just-concluded series against the Cardinals and the Nationals heavily leaned St. Louis’s way. On the other, it was clearly a Washington victory. The difference between this series being a win or a loss for the Redbirds centered mainly on one pitch in the middle. It went the Cardinals’ way and we [...]
Who are these Cardinals? They don’t seem to resemble the team we’ve watched much of this season. For the third straight day, St. Louis got the upper hand on a playoff (as of right now) team, destroying the Nationals 8-1. The Cardinals ran up Tanner Roark‘s pitch count (and hung a few runs on him [...]
Hope was the key phrase in Rogue One. Rebellions are built on hope and all that. And while the Cards have given a bit of hope to their fans this week with a few wins, it’s still not clear whether they are Princess Leia, jetting off with the plans, or Jyn Erso, standing on a [...]
As you know by now, the Cardinals had a press conference this afternoon, promoting John Mozeliak to a new role, President of Baseball Operations, and elevating his assistant, Michael Girsch, to the general manager spot.

Your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to find a meaningful baseball statistic related to team performance that indicates the Cardinals aren’t doomed to mediocrity this season. You may have to ignore small sample size issues and suspend disbelief to do this. We’re talking about data mining a mountain of data with a [...]

It’s not been a fun few days for Cardinal fans. Scratch that. As we talked about in the All-Star Roundtable on Saturday night (the latest Conversations With C70, which you can find here), it’s not been a fun season for Cardinal fans. However, losing the last to the Phillies and the first two to the [...]
The Cardinals started the season on a rollercoaster and have quickly become the Tea Cup ride…they are simply spinning in circles. Their wins happen against losing teams, and sometimes, that is not a given. They lost 2 of 3 to the Orioles and failed to sweep the supposed worst team in baseball, the Phillies. The two games [...]
