Latest news and updates about the Cardinals
Completing his strange trek from St. Louis to New York and back, Cade Winquest has been returned to the Cardinals after the Yankees designated him for assignment last week. The Yankees selected Winquest in the Rule 5 Draft last December, but the right-hander ultimately never made an appearance for the team. It was a surprise […]
After taking two-of-three from the St. Louis Cardinals, the Red Sox are 6-9, just two games out of first place in the AL East. Ditto a Wild Card spot. Their run differential is zero. The offense has scored 62 runs, third in the division after Tampa Bay (70) and New York (65). The pitching is […]
We are once again joined by the one and only Brian Walton to talk with us about what he experienced during Cardinals spring training and who is showing positively for the Cardinals’ minor league affiliates early in the season. We covered the impressive start AAA Memphis has gotten off to, Hunter Dobbins, Jimmy Crooks, Tanner […]
We cracked open a mailbag with Josh Jacobs, he of the newly minted MLB.com credentials (pretty cool!), to answer a bunch of listener submitted questions. Scott and I jumped on with him (Jonathan was on assignment watching the Memphis Redbirds. Josh Baez smacked a homer in that game. Maybe Jonathan should be attached to all […]
The Red Sox have only six wins this season. We’re not dealing with a large sample size. Still, today felt like the “easiest” win of the season. The offense jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning with a home run off the bat of Willson Contreras and never looked back. They were […]
Jordan Walker continued his torrid start to the 2026 season, but Andre Pallante had a disappointing start while Brayan Bello was impressive as the Boston Red Sox clobbered the St. Louis Cardinals 9-3 Sunday afternoon. The Red Sox didn’t wait long to get on the board as former Cardinal Willson Contreras hit a two-run homer […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will try to win the series versus the Boston Red Sox Sunday afternoon after a disappointing end to Saturday night’s game. According to MLB.com, Andre Pallante will start for St. Louis while Brayan Bello will take the mound for Boston. Game is scheduled to be broadcast on Cardinals TV. First pitch […]
If you are going to sit there and tell me you have not been entertained by the St. Louis Cardinals so far this year, I would have to check your pulse. Whether it was JJ Wetherholt homering in his debut then walking off one game later, Jordan Walker sitting at the top of every offensive […]
Louisville Redbirds 6, Charlotte Knights 4The Redbirds have done a number on several Knights relievers this series, and this time it was Tyler Schweitzer’s turn to face the music. Schweitzer earned the loss after giving up the go-ahead, three-run homer off a changeup right down the pipe. Korey Lee attempted to rally a comeback by […]
Thank the baseball GODs for that ninth inning. The Red Sox came into the final frame with a tenuous one-run lead, after Garrett Whitlock gave up a solo shot to Jordan Walker in the bottom of the 8th. Trevor Story led off with a walk—something that hasn’t been a big help to the Red Sox […]
The Cardinals entered the night with a robust 8-5 record while the Red Sox were trying to avoid their 10th loss of the young season. The game was broadcast on Fox so we were given some Smoltz announcing action, which could be described as a mix of lackluster and uninformed. Kyle Leahy was smooth and […]
A Saturday national game, is this the pressure the Red Sox need right now? We at least see a little more normal of a lineup with Roman back in—maybe being the DH will let him focus on one thing at a time and his bat is more important right now. Can the Red Sox stop […]
Just as we all predicted, the Cardinals are off to a solid start to the 2026 season with an offense led by Jordan Walker. Going into Friday night’s game, Walker is top ten in the MLB in WAR, sports a 192 wRC+, is second in baseball in isolated slugging, and has somehow upstaged JJ Wetherholt […]
I don’t have many words for this Red Sox team already, so we’re gonna keep it short. Studs No one? Is it that bad I don’t have just about anything good to say about this game? Duds Where do I even begin with duds for this game. Willson Contreras with a golden sombrero, including getting […]
The St. Louis Cardinals began the 2nd homestand of the 2026 season taking on the Boston Red Sox at Busch Stadium. Before we get to the baseball, the first important moment of the game was the return of Willson Contreras to St. Louis after being traded during the offseason. As expected, he received a warm […]
It’s early April but for tonight, we can say it’s Early-May 🥁 I know the pun is awful, but it kicks off the second of four consecutive series against Midwest based teams. Can the Sox find more momentum off of their first series victory against the Brewers or will the Redbirds emerge on top? Also […]
The Red Sox doubled their win total in 2026 by taking two-out-of-three against the Milwaukee Brewers and, realistically, came within a play or two Monday night from sweeping one of the best teams in the National League. They split the first homestand of the year 3-3 and head off to the midwest for a six-game […]
For those that have missed out on this so far, every Friday at noon(ish), Redbird Rundown posts a short Random Cardinal of the Week episode! I highly recommend checking out some of the names of past weeks, including Khalil Greene and Jason Simontacchi, but every week has been a fun trip down memory lane! This […]
For the second game in a row, the Tulsa Drillers got to double digits in runs scored, this time needing every bit of it to take the 12-9 win over the Springfield Cardinals with some late game drama—one of three wins on Thursday from the Dodgers’ top four minor league teams. Player of the day […]
Today I’m going to take a look at how various Cardinal prospects were assigned throughout the minor league pipeline. Our John Latham has a really well done in-depth look at some of the individual prospects at Memphis here. Gabe provided an easy read focusing on which prospects to follow here. I scored as a “prospect […]
It’s a long season that’s just getting underway, but the St. Louis Cardinals are performing in some surprising ways. Jordan Walker…might be a thing? (Crosses fingers, avoids black cats, throws salt over shoulder. Let’s just do everything we can do to manifest it for this kid.) JJ Wetherholt looks to be the player advertised. Matt […]
The Tulsa Drillers were the only one of the four primary Dodger minor league teams to win a game on Wednesday. The Drillers delivered a massive slugfest with at least one run scored in each of the first six innings to hand the Springfield Cardinals their first loss of the season. Player of the day […]
It’s difficult to know what to write about this early in the season, because any stats you share are required by law to have the small sample size disclaimer. We all understand this. But it’s not like we can just ignore how players are doing. I wanted to take a post off from my Winter […]
With the Red Sox headed to St. Louis this weekend, it’s a good time to reflect on what these two franchises mean to the history of MLB and how much their reputations have decayed in recent years. The Red Sox haven’t won a division title in eight years and haven’t hosted a playoff game at […]
At what point do we switch from saying “it is still early?” to “this is legit”? That is what we tried to figure out with Kevin Wheeler from KMOX on Cardinals on My Time this week with the Redbird Rundown crew. Wheeler is one of our all-time favorites and oh man, did he have a […]
