Like most of you, I’m absolutely enamored with watching Magneuris Sierra do pretty much anything on a baseball field. He’s dynamic, exciting and possibly the only player on the team faster than Mike Leake. He represents the future of Cardinals baseball. That’s why he’s nearly out of time. Here are five reasons why it may [...]
If you want to look for the silver lining, the Cardinals could have swept this small series and, at worst, were very competitive with a team that was expected (and still may) to have a deep playoff run. When you factor in the normal thought that AL teams are better than NL teams overall, there [...]

Rarely has there been a time that I can remember bringing up my own playing days from Little League when thinking about a post. At the same time, however, the Cardinals have resembled a bad beer league team on more than a few occasions lately so maybe the correlation is due. It was also in [...]
Listen, I know the general realities of baseball slogans, at least the ones that get the official stamp of approval. Marketing teams come up with them and they have to put them in place before the beginning of the season to go on tickets, merchandise, advertising, etc. You can’t wait and see how the team [...]
I thought, as a way to get myself going, I’d take a look at how some players are doing, guys who either struggled last year or missed 2016 entirely. Lance Lynn is one of the latter guys, having missed last season due to surgery. Before the surgery, Lance had emerged as a reliable starter, averaging [...]

LOUIS, Mo., May 12, 2017 – The Redbirds return to Busch Stadium as the hottest team in baseball having won six straight road contests and 16 of their last 21 games overall.

If you’ve paid attention to John Mozeliak for any length of time, you’ve heard him say this line in one form or another. It’s his fallback answer for questions about anything from anticipated roster moves to how he decides which argyle socks to wear with a certain bow tie on a given night. He’ll change [...]
Winning all the games of a road trip is hard. Winning a game when you are down four runs in the first is hard. Put a team down four in the last game of a six game road trip in which they’d won the first five games and you’d almost forgive them for going through [...]
You’ve heard the one about the little engine that could, right? It’s a story about an unlikely hero, and some extraordinary will power. In case it’s been a while since you cracked open one of the all-time greatest children’s books, allow me to offer a quick recap: A train, full of joy and happiness (by [...]
It’s not exactly accurate to call Magneuris Sierra a child. I mean, the man is 21 years old. However, not only is that ridiculously young for an old guy like me–I have clothes older than that–it’s also a pretty young baseball age. Couple that with the fact that he’s not had a lot of pro [...]
