A St. Louis Cardinals Fan Community
As most of you know, I was lucky enough to be invited to attend Winter Warmup as a reporter. Last year, I used that experience to write several season previews. Due to the late start of the top 20 prospect series (caused by waiting for Brendan Donovan to be traded), my Winter Warmup stories have […]
We cracked open a mailbag with Josh Jacobs, he of the newly minted MLB.com credentials (pretty cool!), to answer a bunch of listener submitted questions. Scott and I jumped on with him (Jonathan was on assignment watching the Memphis Redbirds. Josh Baez smacked a homer in that game. Maybe Jonathan should be attached to all […]
Jordan Walker continued his torrid start to the 2026 season, but Andre Pallante had a disappointing start while Brayan Bello was impressive as the Boston Red Sox clobbered the St. Louis Cardinals 9-3 Sunday afternoon. The Red Sox didn’t wait long to get on the board as former Cardinal Willson Contreras hit a two-run homer […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will try to win the series versus the Boston Red Sox Sunday afternoon after a disappointing end to Saturday night’s game. According to MLB.com, Andre Pallante will start for St. Louis while Brayan Bello will take the mound for Boston. Game is scheduled to be broadcast on Cardinals TV. First pitch […]
If you are going to sit there and tell me you have not been entertained by the St. Louis Cardinals so far this year, I would have to check your pulse. Whether it was JJ Wetherholt homering in his debut then walking off one game later, Jordan Walker sitting at the top of every offensive […]
The Cardinals entered the night with a robust 8-5 record while the Red Sox were trying to avoid their 10th loss of the young season. The game was broadcast on Fox so we were given some Smoltz announcing action, which could be described as a mix of lackluster and uninformed. Kyle Leahy was smooth and […]
Your first place St. Louis Cardinals will try to win the series vs the Boston Red Sox Saturday night at Busch Stadium. Game time is 6:15pm with Kyle Leahy on the mound for St. Louis vs Ranger Suarez for the Boston Red Sox. Saturday night’s game is a nationwide broadcast on Fox.
Just as we all predicted, the Cardinals are off to a solid start to the 2026 season with an offense led by Jordan Walker. Going into Friday night’s game, Walker is top ten in the MLB in WAR, sports a 192 wRC+, is second in baseball in isolated slugging, and has somehow upstaged JJ Wetherholt […]
The St. Louis Cardinals began the 2nd homestand of the 2026 season taking on the Boston Red Sox at Busch Stadium. Before we get to the baseball, the first important moment of the game was the return of Willson Contreras to St. Louis after being traded during the offseason. As expected, he received a warm […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will see several familiar faces when they take on the Boston Red Sox at Busch Stadium Friday night. According to MLB.com, Dustin May will get the start for St. Louis while Connelly Early takes the mound for Boston. The current schedule doesn’t show former Cardinal Sonny Gray starting against St. Louis […]
For those that have missed out on this so far, every Friday at noon(ish), Redbird Rundown posts a short Random Cardinal of the Week episode! I highly recommend checking out some of the names of past weeks, including Khalil Greene and Jason Simontacchi, but every week has been a fun trip down memory lane! This […]
Today I’m going to take a look at how various Cardinal prospects were assigned throughout the minor league pipeline. Our John Latham has a really well done in-depth look at some of the individual prospects at Memphis here. Gabe provided an easy read focusing on which prospects to follow here. I scored as a “prospect […]
It’s a long season that’s just getting underway, but the St. Louis Cardinals are performing in some surprising ways. Jordan Walker…might be a thing? (Crosses fingers, avoids black cats, throws salt over shoulder. Let’s just do everything we can do to manifest it for this kid.) JJ Wetherholt looks to be the player advertised. Matt […]
It’s difficult to know what to write about this early in the season, because any stats you share are required by law to have the small sample size disclaimer. We all understand this. But it’s not like we can just ignore how players are doing. I wanted to take a post off from my Winter […]
At what point do we switch from saying “it is still early?” to “this is legit”? That is what we tried to figure out with Kevin Wheeler from KMOX on Cardinals on My Time this week with the Redbird Rundown crew. Wheeler is one of our all-time favorites and oh man, did he have a […]
Game Summary The Cardinals open up by leaving the bases loaded in the top of the first, but struck for two runs in the second, keyed by a 2-RBI Burleson single. McGreevy came out and worked in his normal workmanlike manner, which was welcome against this line-up, which has really been scoring runs. The Nats […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will wrap up the first road trip of the 2026 season with a Wednesday afternoon contest against an old friend. While the Cardinals have Michael McGreevy scheduled to make the afternoon start, the Washington Nationals will send Ron Burgundy Miles Mikolas to the mound. Miles has had a rough start to […]
It has been encouraging to see the offense win in different ways this season, whether it’s a late inning or extra inning comeback… the team cobbling together runs with small-ball tactics, and just edging out the other team; or, just scoring a lot overall. However you want to frame it, this team has just been […]
The St. Louis Cardinals Tuesday night game against the Washington Nationals was a parade of missed opportunities and sloppy play, but the St. Louis Cardinals found more late game magic as Jordan Walker, Nathan Church and JJ Wetherholt played the role of the heroes. Nolan Gorman also had 3 hits and an epic defensive play […]
After a disappointing end to Monday’s game when the bullpen imploded, the St. Louis Cardinals will try again Tuesday night as Matthew Liberatore will start against the Washington Nationals who will send Cade Cavalli to the mound. Start time is 5:45pm central time as the game is scheduled to be viewable on Cardinals.tv. Here’s the […]
This week, Gabe, Scott, and I were joined by new site writer Matt Smith to answer fan questions! Thank you to Old Jake and Grammer for their submissions. We discussed at length Masyn Winn hitting in the 4 spot, Pedro Pages Vs Jimmy Crooks, Dustin May, and more! Next week, we will be joined by […]
The 2026 St. Louis Cardinals season is off and rolling! So far, they have displayed a gritty never-say-die attitude and style of play that Cardinals fans have historically appreciated. Rookie top prospect JJ Wetherholt is leading off (almost) every game and doesn’t look out of place doing it. Alec Burleson is doing Burly things, playing […]
Andre Pallante started the game wild, but was able to bring the game under control giving the St. Louis Cardinals a chance to win. It looked like they would win with clutch home runs from Ramón Urías and Jordan Walker, but the Cardinals bullpen blew it in the late innings as the Nationals came from […]
The St. Louis Cardinals road trip continues with a Monday night game against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park. According to MLB.com, Andre Pallante will get the start for St. Louis while Washington will turn to Zack Littell. Masyn Winn is a late add-in to the Cardinals lineup just shared late this afternoon.
VEB is adding some serious firepower to its lineup. Starting today, we are thrilled to announce that the Redbird Rundown Podcast and its full network of shows are officially joining the Viva El Birdos family! Scott, Matt, and Jonathan will be bringing their talents to SB Nation and VEB, bringing a plethora of even more […]
