Latest news and updates about the Cardinals
If you were hoping to see a Cubs game tonight… you won’t: This is the same storm front that stopped the Cardinals/Tigers game in Detroit this afternoon after eight innings. As of the time of this post, neither team had officially announced any starters for either game, though I would assume Shōta Imanaga and Edward […]
Saturday’s game began with Dustin May on the mound for the Cardinals and Jack Flaherty for the Tigers, but neither was sharp and the game ended up being a slugfest including a grand slam from Jordan Walker, but the Tigers would rock Dustin May and the Cardinals bullpen and win 11-6 after being called an […]
The Tigers made it 2-0 at home and 4-4 overall with a convincing show of power on Saturday. The pitching, particularly Jack Flaherty, was pretty sketchy, but four home runs from the Tigers set things right in a game that devolved into a slop fest in the bottom of the eighth and top of the […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will tackle another day game at Comerica Park as they’ll do battle with the Detroit Tigers and former Cardinal Jack Flaherty. According to MLB.com, Dustin May will make his second start of the year for the Cardinals. Game start is scheduled for 12:15pm central time. Masyn Winn out of the lineup […]

Triple-A: Memphis (Cardinals) 5, Norfolk Tides 4 One notable thing that happened here is that the Tides stuck with their original plan of having erstwhile Oriole Dean Kremer make the start for this game. That rules him out as an option for when Zach Eflin’s turn next comes up in the MLB rotation. Prior to […]
2.8 Inches JJ Wetherholt’s Opening Day home run could end up being the signature moment of the 2026 season for the Cardinals. All the expectations coming into the game combined with the excitement of Opening Day, and JJ delivered. Here it is one more time. Watching it live, I thought there was no way it […]
The Detroit Tigers were victorious in their 2026 home opener on Friday, snapping a four-game losing streak with a 4-0 win over the visiting St. Louis Cardinals. They look to secure their second series win of the season on Saturday in another early duel starting at 1:10 p.m. ET. Next up in the rotation is […]
Happy Opening Day, Detroit! Today’s home opener marked the warmest Opening Day ever at Comerica Park (70 degrees Farenheit at game-time), and the warmest Tigers Opening Day in general since 1991. The Tigers lineup also warmed up following Wednesday’s 1-0 loss to the Diamondbacks, and new Tigers ace Framber Valdez came through with six shutout […]

With the season in its infancy and without enough data to grapple with yet, I’m going to look forward for a bit. Forward to the end of 2026. I’m not a good predictor, so I won’t go there, but I have formulated an outline of what I think success might be for the 2026 Cardinals […]
The Detroit Tigers open their 2026 home schedule on Friday afternoon against the St. Louis Cardinals after starting the season with just two wins in their first six games. That pair of victories came in the opening series against the San Diego Padres — the first two games of the campaign, to be exact — […]
The Mets came into their series against the Giants already scuffling a bit. They had just lost two straight games to the Cardinals, sitting at an even 3-3 record six games into the season. David Peterson was coming off a solid first start of the season against the Pirates, facing off against former Cy Young […]
There are reports that the St. Louis Cardinals have reached out to JJ Wetherholt to discuss what it would take to get an extension done. Is that a great idea or is this much too soon and what would that look like if it happened? It was a serendipitous moment when I asked the question […]
Thank you for the warm reception from my debut article. I’m sure I’ll have missteps along the way, but I’m aiming to live up to the high standard VEB has set. Expect to see me weekly going forward. I’ll see you in the comments! This season is the year of reckoning for Jordan Walker. He […]
Talking on the phone the other day with a pal who follows the sport, but not with the obsessiveness of most of you readers or your scribe, he asked how I was faring now that the season is over? To which I admonished, first the season isn’t over given the little matter of the upcoming […]
Meet the Mets One day after getting shut out, the Mets could only muster one run in the finale to drop the series against the Cardinals. All their offense came off a solo home run by Juan Soto that followed Francisco Lindor getting picked off. They still had a chance to redeem themselves in both […]
Today and tomorrow could be called the true start of the minor leagues. Yes, yes, I know the Memphis Redbirds’ season has already been underway for a week. But later today, the Palm Beach Cardinals have their first game of the season and tomorrow sees the first game for both Peoria and Springfield. I am […]
Game Summary After a one hour plus rain delay, the Mets and Cardinals matched up in a pitcher’s duel, with Liberatore carrying a no-no into the fifth inning. The taut pitcher’s duel was interrupted by a Juan Soto solo HR in the 6th, but matched up by a key two-out, two-strike RBI single by Nolan […]
Six games in, and it’s safe to say that—outside of the offensive outburst on opening day—the bats have gotten off to a slow start for the Mets. They haven’t scored more than four runs in a game since that first one, and numerous games have gone into extra innings because the Mets couldn’t bring enough […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will try to win the series versus the New York Mets Wednesday afternoon starting at 12:15pm at Busch Stadium as they’ll close out the homestand with Matthew Liberatore on the mound. Freddy Peralta is scheduled to make the Wednesday afternoon start for the New York Mets.

Meet the Mets The Mets suffered their second loss of the season, losing 3-0 to the Cardinals and being held to just three hits. Senga had a great start, giving up just two runs in the third inning and going six full innings with three walks and an impressive nine strikeouts. Richard Lovelady made another […]
In March, the St Louis Cardinals finished at above .500 with a three wins, two losses record. Only a few teams hit more home runs than the Cardinals, I mean, four. Is that a few? Only five teams had more RBI. You know who’s at the top? The damn devil magic Brewers. They also have […]
Kodai Senga’s first start of the season went well, but the Mets’ lineup was lifeless as the team lost 3-0 to the lowly Cardinals tonight in St. Louis. It’s hard to come out of seeing your team get shut out by an unimpressive cast of pitchers, but let’s start with the positive. Senga continued to […]
