Just hours after a disappointing loss in an exceedingly winnable game, the Cardinals set out to even the series against the formidable Cubbies. The Cardinals have a new lineup, offensively and defensively, for the second game of today's double header. Dexter Fowler is out, Harrison Bader is in at right field. Greg Garcia is out…
Luke Weaver vs. Tyler Chatwood FIRST INNING: Cubs take a 1-0 lead. Rizzo led off with a triple and scored on a fielder’s choice double play ball. Jesse Rogers @ESPNChiCubs With his lead off triple today, Anthony Rizzo is hitting .588 with a .667 OBP when he leads off a game for the Cubs in…
This afternoon, because rules, the St. Louis Cardinals played a Friday afternoon game at Wrigley Field against the Chicago Cubs. This is a recap of that game. Here were the lineups. https://twitter.com/Cardinals/status/1020345124285534208 https://twitter.com/Cubs/status/1020314078173179904 Here are the events which transpired. I would first like to dedicate this recap to margaritas, a beverage which I consumed moderate-to-large…
Before there was constantly ripping Mike Matheny, there was constantly ripping Tony LaRussa. And before that, ripping Joe Torre, or ripping Whitey Herzog, or (briefly) ripping Red Schoendienst or Mike Jorgensen. Yes, St. Louis Cardinals fans tended to rip Matheny more than the others, at least as far as I can remember or tell, but…
It’s game two of a three game series between the Reds and Cardinals in hot and humid St. Louis. Jack Flaherty takes on Luis Castillo. It was a rough night for the Redbirds last night, we will see if they can turn things around this Saturday afternoon.

Happy 36th Birthday to all-star catcher and future Hall of Famer, Yadier Molina! When I look at these two teams and think about who is trending in the right direction right now, I'd say it's the Reds. The managerial switch has been monumental for them. If you take out the Reds on the schedule, the…
As the St. Louis Cardinals deal with the fallout of another embarrassing clubhouse story (in case you missed it, Mike Matheny has reportedly been allowing Bud Norris to harass and/or haze his younger teammates in the name of "accountability" or something), there's still a game to play tonight, and a chance to end the day…
The Cardinals are in their third and final city of a nine-game road trip that has had it's ups and downs. Freshly named All-Star Miles Mikolas takes the mound for St. Louis as the head into the Southside of Chicago for a two game series. It's Cardinals-White Sox tonight from Guaranteed Rate Field (blah). Let's…
This afternoon, in San Francisco, the St. Louis Cardinals squared off against the Giants, a team against whom the local nine has a winning record during the Mike Matheny era but against whom I can only remember Travis Ishikawa and (underratedly) Michael Morse socking dingers, as well as Randy Choate making errant throws to first…
The St. Louis Cardinals faced off against the San Francisco Giants this afternoon at AT&T Park. The Cardinals started their ace, Carlos Martinez, while the Giants' hurler today was Jeff Samardzija, who, I don't know, used to be pretty good? Coming off a nearly 4 fWAR season, Samardzija has had an abysmal year. He started…
