The word “dilemma” refers to a situation in which a difficult choice must be made, often between two or more undesirable options. I see the topic of Catchers on the boards and marvel at how many points of view there are. Pages is unplayable because of his (lack of) offense. Herrera is unplayable because of […]
In the biggest return to St. Louis Cardinals since Albert Pujols, Katie Woo made time in her Hollywood schedule to come onto Cardinals on My Time to talk the upcoming series! I know you all miss her, but she has been enjoying her well-deserved promotion to cover the most talked about team in baseball. Don’t […]
Game Summary Two first inning homeruns by Wetherholt and Walker spotted the Cardinals to an early 3-0 over Paul Skenes, who would ultimately require 100 pitches to make it through five innings. Burleson and Gorman tacked on RBI hits following Pirate mistakes (error, WP). Another game where the Cardinals 3-4-5 hitters collect RBI. That seems […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will continue their PNC Park party week on Thursday as Hunter Dobbins will get his first start for St. Louis this season and he will be up against a guy you may have heard of named Paul Skenes who gets the start for Pittsburgh. First pitch is scheduled for 11:35am central […]
In the comments, when discussing Jordan Walker, Memphis Myke wondered if it mattered that Jordan Walker had minimal protection in the lineup, since he’s followed by Nolan Gorman. Who hasn’t really hit at all this year. Gorman does have a surprisingly high number of RBIs though considering his poor hitting thus far. He has 18 […]

The Cardinals have blown my mind this season so far. It’s not been pretty: if anything, it’s been a little bit ugly… but here we are, in the middle of our first series against an NL Central opponent, winning the first two games (in not the most easily digestible fashion!). Andre Pallante and Bubba Chandler […]

A lot of things went right for the St. Louis Cardinals Tuesday night. Kyle Leahy pitched a solid 5 innings, multiple Cardinals tried to drown baseballs in the nearby Allegheny River and the St. Louis bullpen was adequate enough for another road victory. The Cardinals lineup struck early and often with Nolan Gorman crushing a […]

The St. Louis Cardinals will have a hard time topping their come-from-behind thriller Monday night when they scored 4 ninth inning runs to beat Pittsburgh 4-2. However, maybe they can score some runs before the 9th inning Tuesday night when Kyle Leahy gets the start for St. Louis. Braxton Ashcraft will take the mound for […]

Spoiler alert: There weren’t going to be many highlights to share from tonight’s St. Louis Cardinals game in Pittsburgh as the Pirates bullpen nearly no-hit the birds. However, the St. Louis Cardinals broke the heart of the Bucks thanks in part to a loud homecoming from JJ Wetherholt and a rally for the ages. The […]

Questions persisted all offseason as to what this 2026 St. Louis Cardinals starting rotation was going to look like. Matthew Liberatore has not quite found his stride early in the season. Dustin May, after 2 shaky starts to begin the year, has found a footing in the rotation over his last 3 appearances. Andre Pallante […]

There’s been a strategy in baseball of cycling through bullpen arms to get maximum freshness from your fringier relievers. The Cardinals utilized this to some extent last year, but they’ve mostly abandoned it this year. I’ve seen some complaints about it. We are in late April and there’s really only one instance of using a […]

The Cardinals rotation has not performed particularly well. Individual games are quite good here and there, check out McGreevy’s line from his start today, but on the whole they are near the bottom of the league in many important pitching indicators. We were joined by Benjamin Hochman of the Post-Dispatch to consider the rotation from […]

Both Emerson Hancock for the Mariners and Michael McGreevy for the Cardinals gave their teams strong starts Sunday. […]

Like the rest of the NL Central, the St. Louis Cardinals have been at or above .500 for the majority of the season, but despite outperforming expectations, they find themselves in the middle of the way-too-early division race. Thanks to Jordan Walker, rookie JJ Wetherholt, and a new hero each win, the Cardinals have been […]

Heading into Friday’s game, the Cardinals’ record stood at 14-10. Extrapolate that winning percentage over a full season, and we are looking at a 95-win pace! The Cardinals are back, let the good times roll! OK, a 95-win pace might be a little optimistic… Over at FanGraphs, their projection system actually likes the Cardinals LESS […]

Andre Pallante gave up the first run tonight because he was challenging hitters all over the zone, when he’s good at groundouts. Through two innings, the Mariners were up 1-0 because of an Arozarena double and a hit from Cole Young. While Pallante was struggling but mostly maintaining, the Mariners starting pitcher George Kirby was […]

Almost everyone wants to forget the weirdness of the 2020 MLB season. The Dodgers winning a piece of metal after a 60-game season that saw divisions reworked and paper cutouts as fans in the stands was a real clincher to the strange year. Taxi squads and constant COVID tests were the norm, and the St. […]
