Another week, another wave of top prospects on the verge of a call-up to the majors. Over the weekend, we finally saw St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Joshua Baez earn his promotion, and now I expect another round of call-ups once rosters expand in September. Here are the top five hitting prospects to stash now for […]
An oddity began last November when the Cardinals chose to carry an almost unheard of five catchers on the 40-man roster. At the time, Pedro Pages, Ivan Herrera, Jimmy Crooks, Yahel Pozo and Leo Bernal occupied those spots. While five was pretty unusual, some explanation could be found due to the uncertainty of Ivan Herrera, […]

You’re the home team. You’ve got two-outs on your opponents in the Top of the 9th, clinging to a one-run lead. There are runners on 2B and 3B, and you’ve got a lefty on lefty matchup with one of your best relievers on the bump. He gets a fly ball, albeit a deep one. It […]

Back in 2021, Shelby Miller was little more than a punchline about former Diamondbacks GM Dave Stewart saying he was a $200 million player because he’d been traded for Jason Heyward. And that was from a deal seven years prior, when Miller went from St. Louis to Atlanta. His time there was short-lived, as he … The post Shelby Miller’s Incredible Comeback Gains Steam, Jaxon Wiggins Strengthens Case for Bullpen Role appeared first on .
The Cincinnati Reds hold just a 0.2% chance of making the playoffs as of writing on Thursday morning, that coming from the fine folks at FanGraphs. The St. Louis Cardinals, though, are still clinging to a much more realistic miracle scenario with a 9.5% chance. So, if the Reds are going to get anything tangible […]
The Cardinals did not take advantage of a worn out Reds bullpen. They pretty much let their starters go as deep as starters end up going nowadays. They let their starter for hire Kent Emmanuel survive through 5 innings despite about two baserunners per inning, but that’s fine because they won anyway. I was definitely […]

Today marks the 58th birthday of former Blue Jays pitcher Woody Williams. I’ll admit, I often confuse Woody Williams with Chris Carpenter. Both left the Blue Jays and eventually landed in St. Louis—Williams with a stop in San Diego along the way. They each found greater success with the Cardinals (though Carpenter excelled even more), […]
