I think it’s fair that nobody saw that coming. With the Reds in town, any sweep thoughts were of the positive variety, not the possibility that the Cardinals could be the receiving end of the broom. I mean, the last time the Reds had done that was 1990, a year where they went on to [...]
ANGEL RONDÓN & JOHN NOGOWSKI RECALLED FROM MEMPHIS (AAA) ST. LOUIS, MO., June 5, 2021 –Prior to this afternoon’s game, St. Louis Cardinals announced that they have placed left-handed pitcher Kwang Hyun Kim (right lower back stiffness) and outfielder Justin Williams (neck stiffness) on the 10-day Injured List. Williams’ injury is retroactive to June 3. The team also [...]

In the eighth inning last night, I tweeted that at least this version of the St. Louis Cardinals isn’t stale. One night we can complain about the bullpen, another night about the starting pitching, then another about the offense. Occasionally we can do two or more at the same time, but it doesn’t feel like [...]
West Coast trips are always tough. The fact that they went to Arizona and LA (plus that first trip to the White Sox) and went 5-5 is not the worst thing that could have happened in the least. However, the trip highlighted that, as currently constructed, things are going to be hard for the Cardinals. [...]
MLB is reportedly collecting balls and examining those balls for substances that do not belong on those balls. That means that at least one person is sitting in a laboratory setting going through ball after ball after ball after ball. That makes that person the John Gant of scientific investigators. The MLB ball checker(s) will [...]
There have been seasons where the Cardinals win one or two, then lose one or two, never really getting into a rhythm. This year, they seem to be a bit more streaky. Four wins against the White Sox and Diamondbacks in a row followed by, as of now, two losses in a row against Arizona [...]
OVIEDO OPTIONED, MOROFF TO I.L. & MIKOLAS MOVED TO 60-DAY I.L. PHOENIX, Ariz., May 29, 2021 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced a series of roster moves prior to tonight’s game. They are as follows: Infielder Max Moroff (left shoulder subluxation) has been placed on the 10-day Injured List, retroactive to May 27, and the contract of [...]
Say what you will about last night’s game, but it was at least unique. It didn’t feel quite like any other game the Cardinals had played this season. Sure, some of the elements were there–long stretches of quiet by the offense, a bullpen that could have been better–but they were put together in a way [...]
In 2006, Anthony Reyes threw a gem at what was then called U.S. Cellular Field. He went the distance, allowed just one hit, and struck out six. It was a masterful performance. However, the distance was only eight innings because the one hit he allowed was a home run to to-be Hall of Famer Jim [...]
I’m tired of Chicago teams. Perhaps more clearly, I’m tired of the Cardinals losing to Chicago teams. Allen and I have discussed in the past on Musial how there was a concern that some of the good fortune for the Redbirds was due to a weaker schedule. The series win against Milwaukee, as close as [...]
As the schedule finally moves away from May showers, all four of the St. Louis affiliates approach this week searching for momentum. Memphis needs to stabilize the rotation but two straight weeks of solid play have the Redbirds inching ever closer to a winning record. Peoria seemingly has not been able to outlast injuries to [...]
