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 […]

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.

LJ Wells. So it is being reported by several responsible sources. 6-8 forward, who played at Northern Kentucky. Named plaintiff in Jefferson Circuit Court case. Averaged 15 and 7 last season. I know nothing more. — c d kaplan
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.
White Sox vs. Cardinals full game highlights from 9/11/26, presented by @Phillips66Co
ST. LOUIS – The Cardinals returned home from a three-city road trip with 15 games left on the schedule and roughly two and a half weeks to get last looks at players they hope will be major offensive contributors in the years to come. It wouldn’t hurt, of course, to show off some of that talent in front of large crowds on a celebratory weekend – assuming everyone stays healthy. Joshua Báez and Leo Bernal held up their ends of the bargain Friday night, powering the Cardinals to a 7-3 victory ove...
Summer might be in its waning days, but all it takes to turn the heat back up is a few Brandon Clarke fastballs. Clarke surrendered a first-inning single and fanned five consecutive batters at one point. The 23-year-old walked just one — an eye-opening fact considering he entered his outing walking more than five batters per nine innings this season. But Clarke was efficient against the Travelers, throwing 36 of his 62 pitches for strikes while generating 12 whiffs on 26 swings (46.2 percent)....
ST. LOUIS – The following question was posed to White Sox third baseman Colson Montgomery prior to his team’s 7-3 loss to the Cardinals on Friday night at Busch Stadium, in a game delayed one hour and 10 minutes by rain. Is there something acceptable regarding just making the playoffs as a Wild Card, or does this team want the American League Central title? White Sox Irish Quarter Zip Giveaway is Sept. 19 “Yeah, we want to win the division because we feel like we are the best team in the divis...
This week’s Mailbag looks at a potential Gavin Williams extension, the Cardinals’ wealth of catching talent, reasons for optimism in Miami, and Shohei Ohtani’s future as a two-way player. Let’s get into it! Kyle asks: When does Cleveland extend Gavin Williams or do they trade him? Do you think he can win a CY at […]
Down four with the bases loaded in the six inning, Miguel Vargas briefly looked like he had produced The Swing that might unclog the White Sox offense.
Luis Gastelum left an 0-1 sweeper above the knees on the outer half of the plate, and Vargas put good wood on it, launching to left center field. Statcast says it left the bat at 104.3 mph and traveled some 397 feet, and would have left 12 of 30 MLB parks, including Rate Field.
Alas, the White Sox departed home yesterday, and Busch Stadium ...
It’s been said that it’s not how you start, but how you finish. That’s a good thing because Matthew Liberatore’s first pitch of the game got torched, but he didn’t finish poorly at all. Would that be enough for the St. Louis Cardinals to win the first game of their homestand against the Chicago White […]
