Fans: Man, that was an outstanding game by Carlos Martinez. I don’t think anyone could top that. Adam Wainwright: Hold my Pappy’s. While Martinez’s game against the Dodgers on Wednesday night was probably better from a pitching aspect, since he went eight innings and allowed just a single run, Wainwright’s game on Thursday afternoon was [...]
So surely this is just the match-up that ESPN envisioned for Sunday night to go up against some basketball game. Cubs and Cardinals riding high on their way to October, Wrigley as the perfect place to showcase the best in the Senior Circuit. And all kidding aside, didn’t we feel the same way? Nothing has [...]
It’s not been an easy road for the Cardinals as of late. The offense has struggled, the bullpen has struggled, and the starting pitching can only do so much. Things looked up a little bit yesterday, but before we get to all of that, we’ve got to tackle Tuesday night’s game. Tuesday (9-4 loss) Hero: [...]
VETERAN PITCHER JONATHAN BROXTON GIVEN UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE ST. LOUIS, MO., May 31, 2017 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced prior to tonight’s game that they have recalled right-handed pitcher John Gant from Memphis (AAA) and given right-handed pitcher Jonathan Broxton his unconditional release. Gant, 24, was acquired by the Cardinals along with two other players [...]
Per many Twitter reports, John Mozeliak announced the end of the Jonathan Broxton era before tonight’s game. John Gant, received from Atlanta in the Jaime Garcia trade, has been promoted.
This one is going to be short and sweet because that is basically the best way to sum up the first two months of the 2017 baseball calendar. And as bad as things have looked, the National League Central has produced some rather bizarre standings to say the least as we prepare for June. Milwaukee [...]
Back in the winter, I started looking at the history of John Mozeliak’s trades, what value he’d given up, what value he’d gotten, and how the players did before and after. It’s been a while since we did one of these, so here are the links if you want to go back and refresh your [...]
The tough get going. Or at least that’s how it is for some players on the team. Randal Grichuk was demoted to Palm Beach today. At first, before learning of the location, I was at peace with the decision because I thought he would be coached by Mark Budaska in Memphis. Learning of the decision [...]
Hey, remember when Rich Hill had no command and the Cardinals jumped on his stuff early? Man, good times, so long ago. You know, last week. That certainly wasn’t the case yesterday as Hill pitched his normal five innings, but this time allowed only one run on two hits and two walks. Whatever adjustments needed [...]
West Coast trips are always tough on a team, though sometimes the results are better than others. Going through Los Angeles, which has a quality team, and Colorado, who is leading the NL West, figured to be a tall order for the Cardinals. Even a split of those six games would have been fine. Instead, [...]
MIGUEL SOCOLOVICH DESIGNATED FOR ASSIGNMENT DENVER, CO., May 27, 2017 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced prior to tonight’s game in Denver that they have purchased right-handed pitcher John Brebbia from Memphis (AAA) and designated right-handed pitcher Miguel Socolovich for assignment. Brebbia (pronounced Breh-be-ah), who will be making his Major League debut, has been assigned [...]
Well, at least they took one? The Cardinals started off a road trip against the top teams in the NL West and looked a lot like the team that just had a miserable home stand. All those that thought the 6-0 record on the trip to Atlanta and Miami was mainly due to the quality [...]
