Wetherholt continued to impress on Sunday, when he homered in two consecutive innings for St. Louis. Those homers came in the first two innings of a game against the Kansas City Royals. With those blasts, the young infielder […]

Michael McGreevy did not have his best game Friday night in Kansas City. His outing started decent, but the latter innings not so much. Unfortunately, the St. Louis Cardinals offense didn’t accomplish much either as the Royals were too much for them again. You wouldn’t know that Kansas City has the sixth worst record in […]

One thing that many people discussed was that it might lead to more home runs but fewer doubles. You would not have known […]

I generally don’t like to repeat post topics—one of the great things about baseball being the endless opportunities for new stories or discussions. But after extolling the virtues of Byron Buxton at the end of the 2025 season, I am compelled to do the same at this juncture. In recent seasons, Twins fans have been […]

St. Louis […]
Lineup construction is one of those things that is probably too over-emphasized. The difference between a perfectly optimized lineup and what would be a, like, purposefully unoptimized one is less than you would think. But lineups get scrutiny because they are something that you can change. Major League Baseball managers can’t magically force their players […]

Avila was masterful across 5 2/3 innings. He allowed one run while scattering three hits and recording five strikeouts, and the Royals salvaged […]
