LHP TYLER LYONS OPTIONED TO MEMPHIS SAN DIEGO, Calif., August 23, 2015 – The St. Louis Cardinals have recalled infielder Greg Garcia from Memphis (AAA) today. Left-handed pitcher Tyler Lyons was optioned to Memphis following Saturday night’s game at San Diego. Garcia, 25, was batting .294 with 36 RBI through 94 games for Memphis, [...]
Just enough. Whenever they come around to make a documentary about the 2015 Cardinals season, that’s what it should be titled. Just Enough. We’ve pointed out before their record in one-run games and it only got better on Wednesday night, when Yadier Molina played the Hero and broke a 3-3 tie with his 100th career [...]
Been raining a ton in Galveston these last few days, trapping me inside in the mornings just when I was starting to get back into my early morning walking to the beach and back routine. Anyway, as I sit here, I am thinking about a few things happening in baseball of late… Last night, two [...]
Starting this weekend, St Louis will make their final foray to the West Coast for the regular season. Since they start the road trip in my hometown, I had great designs on a 1200+ word essay about the Padres – what to expect, strengths and weaknesses; kind of a Bird’s Eye View reprise. Then the [...]

It’s amazing that so many people across the internet hate the Cardinals. Given their performance of late, they are the most inoffensive bunch of players you’re likely to come across. St. Louis has had, counting last night, 28 games where they’ve had six hits or less. The fact that they are 14-14 in such games [...]
Lets say, just for a moment, that the Cardinals collapsed, fell out of first, but recovered enough to make the Wild Card Game. (Yes, I know it won’t happen. Humor me here.) That leads to the question, which is the focus of this post: Who would start that game? Do you go with the guy [...]
The Giants in town. Little offense. Strong pitching. A tight game decided late. All you needed were some cooler temperatures and you’d swear we were watching yet another NLCS game between these two clubs. Instead, it was an August game that didn’t have quite the same gravitas, but had significant import nonetheless. There was some [...]
RECALL OUTFIELDER TOMMY PHAM FROM MEMPHIS (AAA) ST. LOUIS, Mo., August 17, 2015 – The St. Louis Cardinals have placed outfielder Randal Grichuk on the 15-day disabled list with a right elbow strain today. Outfielder Tommy Pham has been recalled from Memphis (AAA), his second stint with the Cardinals. Grichuk, 24, has a .284 [...]
In the last couple of years, I’ve gotten to know Craig and his community of posters over at THE San Francisco Giants Blog. We had such a good time interacting during last year’s NLCS than I wanted to touch base with Craig as the two teams meet again tonight for the first time this season. [...]
Sorry for the long gap in posts, but it was a fairly unusual week around my house and, as such, I didn’t get in front of the computer much. Sadly, I’ve kinda mastered these recap posts this season, so let’s dive in. Wednesday (4-2 win vs. Pittsburgh) Hero: Yadier Molina. It took a mistimed dive, [...]
The Cardinals have won 72 games and lost 40. It’s not true that all of them have been decided by one run, it just feels that way. Actually, only 45 of those games were one-run contests, but the way the pitching staff has gone and the way the offense has sputtered, you’d be forgiven for [...]
