Brycen Mautz is a hard player to place, because scouts don’t really seem to believe in him, believe that he has enough good pitches to start, and yet statistically speaking, it seems hard not to believe in him. In a hitter friendly league, he struck out over 28% of batters, didn’t walk many, and had […]
Week 1: The Starting Rotation Week 2: The Catchers. All of them. My Comparing the Cardinals Spring Training series moves forward to the other half of the battery as this week, I focus on the six… or seven… catchers that are trying to force their way onto the next great Cardinals team when this rebuild […]
Baseball is back and the Washington Nationals have come out on top not once, but twice. The team had a split squad double header today, where half the group went to Jupiter to face the Cardinals, while the rest of the team stayed in West Palm Beach to play the Astros. Both teams won, with […]

You can listen to the game on KMOX 1120 AM/104.1 FM, WIJR AM 880 (En Espanol) or the Cardinals Radio Network. Matthew Liberatore is scheduled to make the first start of the Spring according to MLB.com. […]
Baseball is back, which means it is time for game threads. Here at Federal Baseball, we do game threads for every regular season game and will do some for Spring Training as well. It is a space for you guys to follow the games and comment your thoughts. Last year, we got hundreds of comments […]
Baseball is back! Spring training opening day has arrived for the Cardinals, which is the perfect time to suspend reality and indulge ourselves in some good old-fashioned optimism. Expectations for the team are at an all-time (or at least this century) low. It is easy for national media types and casual fans to look at […]
In what was an evenly matched contest from the get-go, it was the little things that made a difference In Nebraska’s 4-2 loss to Louisville. Ty Horn and Ethan Eberle faced off, both of them coming up with huge pitches when they needed them. Both of them have pitched better than they did today, but what was […]
Spring Training games still haven’t begun but that didn’t stop Kevin Cash from declaring the team’s Opening Day starter. Taking the mound on March 26th in St Louis for the Tampa Bay Rays on Opening Day will be Drew Rasmussen. “I’m really honored. It’s really cool to get the opportunity to pitch on opening day. […]
Spring Training is underway! There is new stuff coming out of camps everyday now, a respite from the off-season doldrums where we hashed and re-hashed the same few unresolved debates. Who knew that they were running a special on hamate bone repair this month? As is my want, I tend to zig on writing topics […]
The latest Cardinals adding former Chiefs LB coach to staff | Clutch Points Former Kansas City Chiefs outside linebackers coach Rod Wilson is joining the Cardinals to work the same role, according to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports. Wilson also has playing experience in college and the NFL, but has been a coach in Kansas City […]
One of the biggest non-player questions St. Louis Cardinals fans have as the 2026 season is about to begin is what will Yadier Molina’s real role be with the team. We’re starting to get answers and it appears his impact with the 2026 St. Louis Cardinals team will be greater than the past which could […]
It’s funny that Tanner Franklin ended up at 12, because that’s about where I thought he’d end up when we started this, and yet it took him a rather long time to actually be added to the voting because he lost two initial votes to players who still haven’t been selected to the top 20. […]
Originally, I was going to write about the Cubs last, but I feel more threatened by Milwaukee overall. So, I am saving them for last. There is some small chance I might move to Milwaukee, so it’s not the city. It’s the team that annoys me. I’ll probably stick here in St Louis, yeah. But […]
We’re back with another daily question, and today’s question is: Which opposing team do you hate the most? Given that this is a community of Brewer fans, I’d guess roughly 95% of the fans in here will say either the Cubs or the Cardinals, with the other 5% dispersed to teams all over the league […]
This week, Jake, Gabe, and Scott talk to one of the last remaining beat writers left covering the St. Louis Cardinals. Jeff Jones of the Belleville News Democrat (@jmjones) is currently in Jupiter, Florida, obtaining minute-by-minute accounts of players as they prepare for the 2026 MLB season. We cover topics like Jeff’s recent story about […]
Busch Stadium is one of the anchors of my childhood. My family was never able to be a part of any playoff or World Series games, but there are still several moments that have stuck with me for decades. When you talk about Busch Stadium, you have to be specific about which one you’re talking […]
The seeds of the 2026 Major League season are being planted in Jupiter, Florida. With that comes the annual exercise of trying to sluth out who will make the initial cut and be rewarded with riding around the warning track in a Ford-sponsored vehicle following the Clydsdales, the “poop scoop troop,” and Cardinals Hall of […]
Last week the Nats signed Miles Mikolas as their first "FA to sign to trade later" of the off-season and honestly I like the deal. For those that don't remember Miles as one of the quality St Louis starters undone by the Nats staff obliterating his offense in the 2019 NLCS, a little background. He was initially a failed starter for the Padres that went over to Japan and had some success. The Cardinals brought him back to the states in 2018 and he performed great, then o...
Last year, when Tekoah Roby was voted as the 10th best prospect, he had not yet proven that his stuff would return. Had fans known that he would have the 2025 season he did, he would have been voted higher. So weirdly, these rankings do not reflect his rise and fall, so to speak, as […]
The St. Louis Cardinals have arrived in Jupiter and the reports about players being in the best shapes of their lives has begun! The newly renovated and almost finished Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium is hosting the Cardinals and Miami Marlins for the next six weeks as most of us wait for the days to get […]
The Cardinals have had one of the more interesting off seasons in recent memory. Chaim Bloom did his best to keep the fanbase engaged by completing one big transaction each month starting with Sonny Gray in November and culminating with the Brendan Donovan trade in February. Despite Bloom’s best efforts to keep us entertained, there […]
Well, I can’t say the off-season moved at a dizzying pace. More like ambled. But there was churn and I found myself wanting to do a 360 around the league and get a sense of who did what as the dust settles right before teams’ head to Florida or Arizona. I worked to keep the […]
The St. Louis Cardinals revealed their new Spring Training facilities by turning the camera over to Matthew Liberatore for their tour with a creative play on words. As pitchers and catchers have now reported to Jupiter, Florida, Matthew Liberatore and a lone camera person gave a tour of what the new training facilities are like. […]
For the fourth straight season, Tink Hence has made the VEB top prospects list and he’s been a top 10 player every season. I think he was actually top 5 in the previous three years. Some of that is because Hence’s health issues have become a little more concerning, but if you took the exact […]
