Latest news and updates about the Cardinals
Former player Joey Votto placed respect on St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame catcher Yadier Molina, much to the chagrin of Votto's fanbase, many members of whom have despised Molina since the 2010 brawl.
It really should have been expected when you think about it. There was a lack of energy in the stands at Busch Stadium Sunday afternoon as Michael McGreevy through the first pitch for the matinee game against the Chicago White Sox. After Saturday’s emotional induction of Pujols, Molina and Sherder into the Cardinals Hall of […]
Another Sunday, another critical rubber match in what I think we can safely say is the most rear-end-clenching division race we’ve had in nearly 15 years. Perhaps 20, depending on how you feel about Robin Ventura’s debut 2012 that produced a bizarre 85 wins and a missed playoff berth after leading the division most of […]
Today’s game will be interesting to see how Will Venable manages it. Last night, he had to use his heavy hitters out of the bullpen and won because of Randal Grichuk’s home run. With the Cleveland series looming, the White Sox may have to lean more on the offense to pick up a key series win on the road. David Sandlin returns to the White Sox from Charlotte and has been consistently getting beyond the fifth inning in his AAA starts. In his last two outings, Sandlin, in 12.2 innings, struck o...
It’s game 3 of the Cardinals weekend series against the White Sox Sunday as Michael McGreevy takes the mound for the Cardinals. The White Sox will start RHP David Sandlin. First pitch scheduled for 1:15pm central time and the game broadcast will be available via Cardinals.tv.
Leo Bernal has responded to every challenge the Cardinals have thrown his way and is becoming the catcher of the future.
The White Sox recalled RHP David Sandlin from Triple-A Charlotte and optioned LHP Tyler Schweitzer before Sunday’s series finale in St. Louis. The post White Sox Recall David Sandlin, Option Tyler Schweitzer Before Cardinals Finale appeared first on On Tap Sports Net .
As Leo Bernal continues to impress and grab a 2027 starting gig, the St. Louis Cardinals are seeing Nathan Church attempt to do the same. While center field did not have the same depth as catcher, Church is looking to take hold of the spot and give the Cardinals some clarity at a position of […]
Ahead of their game against the St. Louis Cardinals, the Chicago White Sox announced that scouting director Mike Shirley is no longer with the organization. Shirley resigned from the position he had held for the past seven seasons on Saturday. However, the resignation comes amid reports of alleged verbal harassment claims against him. The White […] The post White Sox Stunned as Top Scouting Executive Resigns Amid Reported Verbal Harassment Allegations appeared first on EssentiallySports .
Bob Uecker was a man of many talents, although he would have denied it. Uecker spent six years in the big leagues, even winning the 1964 World Series with the Cardinals. He became a regular on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, starred in Mr. Belvedere, appeared in countless commercials, and played perhaps the most famous fictional baseball […]
Colson Montgomery walked in the fourth inning, scoring Munetaka Murakami to cut the Cardinals’ lead to 3-1. Tristan Peters singled to center in the fifth inning, scoring Miguel Vargas to complete a three-run fifth and tie the game at 4-4. Randal Grichuk hit a two-run, two-out home run (13) to right — 358 feet — in the ninth inning, scoring Brenton Doyle, to give the White Sox a 6-5 lead. Hagen Smith tossed 2.0 scoreless innings with 3 strikeouts to bridge the gap; Jordan Hicks earned the win (...
In late August, MLB Pipeline ranked the Cardinals as having the second-best system in baseball as it pertained to talent behind the dish. Saturday night was a thunderous exclamation point backing that up. Rainiel Rodriguez, St. Louis’ No. 1 prospect, drilled his second homer in as many nights and third in the past four games for Double-A Springfield during its 11-5 defeat at the hands of Arkansas at Route 66 Stadium. The 19-year-old has been on a tear this month, slashing .432/.532/.703 in 10 ...
A scuffling Chicago White Sox team fought back from a 4-1 deficit to tie the game, only to watch St. Louis Cardinals catcher Leo Bernal hit a solo home run off Grant Taylor. After yet another gut punch delivered in the eighth inning, the White Sox were staring at their fifth straight loss. Then, in a season full of surprises, a truly shocking moment was delivered by Randal Grichuk. Grichuk’s two-run homer in the ninth inning just barely cleared the right-field wall gave the White Sox a muc...
Last night it was a rain delay without rain, tonight it was Cardinals Hall of Fame honors for Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina, so expect Sunday’s finale to be pushed back due to, dunno, no hot dogs in stock or something. But whatever the excuse, the Cardinals could not avoid the inevitable on Saturday. With […]
After an emotional induction into the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame for Yadier Molina, Albert Pujols and Bill Sherder, it was time for baseball Saturday night at Busch Stadium. Kyle Leahy provided an efficient start for the first few innings of the game and the Cardinals offense provided some early runs. It would come […]
In their last 13 games, the Chicago White Sox are batting .192/.295/.335 and have scored just 40 runs. For an offense that is sputtering and seeking a spark somewhere in the lineup, manager Will Venable made a significant shuffle for tonight's game in St. Louis. Colson Montgomery is batting eighth for the first time this season, and Kyle Teel is batting second behind Sam Antonacci. While there will be plenty of attention on how the offense fares against St. Louis starter Kyle Leahy, tonight ...
After a rousing St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame ceremony where Albert Pujols, Yadier Molina and Bill Sherdel were immortalized, the team will take the field and do battle with the Chicago White Sox Saturday night. Kyle Leahy will get the start (for a couple innings at least) while Chicago sends Luis Castillo to the […]
Not that there’s any good time to play the National League Central, featuring the best team in baseball in the Milwaukee Brewers as well as the second-best second-place team in baseball. And as the White Sox have found, third- and fourth-place Pittsburgh and St. Louis — essentially equals of the White Sox, give or take […]
Good morning! It's been a rough go of it for the White Sox lately, what with the offense sputtering in a sweep at home by the Pirates . So, no offensively-oriented Sporcle this week as there hasn't been very much to celebrate about since Sunday's victory over the Twins. On the pitching side, however, something which I found interesting is the innings total that Sean Newcomb is approaching. Entering Friday evening's game against the Cardinals, Newcomb has 83 innings pitched as a reliever. I...
The Cardinals bullpen ranks near the bottom of the league in multiple categories, and that should not be a surprise after seeing the group that Chaim Bloom put together.

Sadly, the minor league season is winding to a close with only Springfield and Memphis still playing. I thought now would be a good time to check out how last year’s draft class fared in their first professional season. First Round (5th overall) – Liam Doyle, LHP Doyle started the season slow, but ended up […]
At one point in time, October baseball looked within reach for the St. Louis Cardinals. Unfortunately, times seems to have run out.
Former St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Sonny Gray said that if his family wants him home, he would retire "in a heartbeat." But with his team now in the thick of the playoff chase, Gray might have one more chance at a title.
