Checking In on the Cardinals’ 2025 Draft Class

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 […]

As Cardinals honor their past, young hitters are coming into their own

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...

Bringing the heat: Cards’ No. 9 prospect reaches 102 mph in dominant Double-A debut

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)....

White Sox Drop Fourth Straight; AL Central Lead Narrowed to Half-Game

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?

Cardinals 7, White Sox 3: Down to half a game

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 ...

First Pitch: White Sox at Cardinals

At 5-14, Matthew Liberatore is the National League leader in losses. Facing a lineup featuring Edgar Quero at DH, Brenton Doyle in center field and Luisangel Acuña at short, he’s getting the best opportunity possible to avoid a 15th loss, which would put him in a tie for the major league lead. There’s a real… The post First Pitch: White Sox at Cardinals appeared first on Sox Machine .

“There Needs to Be a Penalty”: MLB Urged to Discipline Umpire After Cardinals’ Rookie Controversy

Hancel Rincon wasn’t your typical hyped first-rounder who arrived in St. Louis and flipped the script overnight. After grinding through the minor leagues for years and finally improving his changeup, the Cardinals selected his contract on September 1. Then, on September 4, he made his debut at 5,200 feet, and what followed was sheer chaos.

Is it time for the Cardinals to shift their overall strategy?

As the 2026 season closes, one of the more common questions among the fanbase revolves around whether the Cardinals are positioned to be playoff-competitive in 2027. The question has different forms, often using the “window” or “timeline” analogy (or is that an allegory?) embedded within. Is the Cardinals next competitive window 2028-2029, earlier or later? […]
