Last night, the St. Louis Cardinals selected Nolan Gorman from Sandra Day O'Connor High School in Phoenix, AZ with the 19th overall selection in the first round of the 2018 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. If you are looking for an in-depth scouting report on this pick, this is the right place. By which…
The December trade which saw the St. Louis Cardinals sending right fielder Stephen Piscotty to the Oakland Athletics in exchange for minor leaguers Max Schrock and Yairo Munoz was most often at the time, and is still most often today, viewed in the context of Piscotty. It had been known throughout much of the 2017…
A real-time look at the emotional roller coaster of a no-hit bid.
Tonight, at Busch Stadium, the St. Louis Cardinals, led by Miles Mikolas, faced the Pittsburgh Pirates, led by Not Miles Mikolas. Would the Cardinals follow last night's thriller by following The Best Pitcher In Baseball to victory, or would the Pirates get lucky? Anyway, I'm tired so this game better not go to extra innings.…
A look at how the song that was #1 when you turned 14 actually can define your life.
Tonight, the St. Louis Cardinals played their 54th game of the 2018 season. This game is the exact one-third mark of the season, and thus it is a pretty logical time to calculate the team's pace for the season. If the Cardinals won tonight, they'd stand at 90 wins. If they lost, they'd stand at…
For the next four days, starting tonight, the Cardinals will play the Pittsburgh Pirates. This site has been around a little over a month and this is the third Cardinals/Pirates series preview I've written. I'm getting so sick of these teams playing each other, man. Look, I like baseball: I promise. I even, in and…
On Wednesday afternoon, Cardinals super-prospect Alex Reyes made his 2018 Major League debut in Milwaukee, delighting and then terrifying fans with his two-strikeouts-and-a-pickoff first inning and later being pulled from the game after just four innings. It was, for a regular season weekday game in May, extremely anticipated among Cardinals fans, but it was an…
Yesterday's game was a drag. This game feels inevitable to be better. Let's check out the Cardinals lineup. https://twitter.com/Cardinals/status/1001578953453252614 As a noted Jose Martinez At First Base Yeller (as well as a Jose Martinez In The Batter's Box Appreciator), I'm doubly disappointed that the Cardinals have made the rational move and moved Matt Carpenter to…
By any reasonable measure, Matt Carpenter's 2018 to this point has been a disappointment. After an abysmal start to the season offensively, Carpenter has rebounded significantly, but he has still been only roughly average at the plate. While Carpenter has logged material innings at first, second, and third base, he is generally not well-regarded defensively--his…
