While you were sleeping/drinking, the Cardinals rolled the dice on a truly unique prep player.
Meet Trejyn Fletcher, the Cardinals’ Most Interesting Draft Pick Ever
Genesis Cabrera is starting tonight for the Cardinals. Huh.
Do you remember October 10, 1996? On that day, the St. Louis Cardinals evened their National League Championship Series tilt against the Atlanta Braves at one game apiece. A huge seventh inning, capped off by a Gary Gaetti grand slam, allowed the Cardinals to defeat Greg Maddux (!!!) on the strength of a strong start…
The Cardinals should send the Blues a nice bouquet of flowers for distracting St. Louis
The St. Louis Cardinals are 25-24, and while most baseball markets would dream for a .510 winning percentage to be considered a devastating step back, St. Louis has certainly seen better from the Cardinals. The start to the season is made especially more disappointing given how much confidence there was in the Cardinals to start…
Paul DeJong is the best shortstop in the National League
Fernando Tatis Jr. is very good and is probably soon going to be the best shortstop in the National League for the next decade, as long as he remains in the National League. The 20 year-old San Diego Padres phenom entered Major League Baseball this season with extremely high expectations and a consensus top-three prospect…
If Wrigley Field isn’t a dump, why is Addison Russell eventually going to be sent there?
Four years ago, everything was looking up for the Chicago Cubs. The Cubs, who in 2014 had won just 73 games, improved by 24 games in 2015. While their 97-win season was only good enough to finish in third place in the National League Central, the Cubs vanquished the 98-win, second-place Pittsburgh Pirates in the…
Is Dexter Fowler playing center field going to be an actual thing?
Former St. Louis Cardinals outfielders Peter Bourjos and Jon Jay were teammates in St. Louis for a grand total of 740 days, but for those of us who spent that duration far too deeply immersed in the depths of Cardinals Twitter, it felt like they were teammates for 740 years. The center fielders were the…
The origin story of Marcell Ozuna, slugging superhero
There is a fairly high probability that this morning, many of you are very tired. The main cause of this extreme fatigue, if I know the demographics of this site, is those of you who stayed up late to watch the St. Louis Blues, whose first game of the Western Conference Semifinals inexplicably began at…
Is Dexter Fowler back?
The St. Louis Cardinals didn't sign Dexter Fowler to be a superstar. While a visceral reaction to a $16.5 million annual salary for half a decade sounds like a lot of money, this bill is commensurate with an average to slightly above average player. And in 2017, his first season with the Cardinals, Fowler fit…
Ozzie Albies, Allen Craig, and the myth of the risky pre-arbitration extension
On Wednesday, news broke that the St. Louis Cardinals had signed third baseman Matt Carpenter to a two-year extension. Carpenter, firmly a part of the Mount Rushmore of St. Louis Cardinals this decade, remaining in St. Louis through 2021 warranted a post, but truthfully, nobody seemed to have a strong opinion on the matter. It…
Re-evaluating the controversial Cardinals trades of the last two years
On September 29, 2017, the St. Louis Cardinals played and lost to the Milwaukee Brewers. The Cardinals, eliminated from postseason contention the night before, elected to sit Dexter Fowler for the game, but did play its three next best outfielders in the game. When the team played against the Colorado Rockies ten months and two…
