Since the All-Star break, the St. Louis Cardinals have experienced a small resurgence, chalking up three consecutive series wins against contending teams. The team has embraced the youth movement and retooled the bullpen, and they've made a change at manager. You can make an argument for all of these things helping get the Cardinals back…

He's 33, doesn't strike batters out, doesn't manage contact, and…
Alright friends, the Cardinals are playing the Rockies. Both teams are vying for playoff spots here so this game will be competitive, I promise you that. This should be a great finale, I expect great things after two rather bleak games that I last recapped. First Inning I am immediately rejuvenated at this early morning…
Last Thursday, Jon Heyman of Fancred sports reported that Joe Girardi is interested in the St. Louis Cardinals managerial position, currently occupied by interim manager Mike Shildt. Heyman's sources were Girardi's unnamed "friends," but Girardi is on record as wanting to manage again, and given that the Cardinals gig is one of the better jobs…
The trade deadline has come and gone. It's time to get into the dog days of summer baseball. Last night's game ended with an absolute rocket off the bat of Marcell Ozuna after a four run comeback by the Redbirds. Let's see if they can keep rolling tonight with Jack Flaherty on the mound. Lineups…
Tonight, the Cardinals open a 3-game set hosting the Rockies. The Rox are in the mix for the NL West title this year, and the Cardinals are at a decision point with the non-waiver trade deadline looming. Fun fact: the Rockies just signed old friend Matt Holliday, 38, to a minor league contract. Yay Matt!…
At this point, I'm starting to consider myself the Dominic Leone of STLBullpen. Early in the season I did some good things and some less good things. Point is, I was brought in from the outside (Cardinals blog-o-sphere wise), was just starting to find my groove, and then just vanished for awhile. For Leone, this has been…
Cubs vs. Cardinals. Always a fun time when these two teams get together, right? Well, I guess it's only fun if you win. The Cardinals are five-hundred, the least they can do is steal a few games from the Cubbies. Let's do this. Luke Weaver on the bump.

Cardinals Baseball since the all-star break has often been exciting and even more so heart breaking. This week has been no different, with the loss Monday at the hands of Bud Norris and the lackluster offense, and the win yesterday with the fire alarm tactics of the Reds, and Fowler's big right-handed bomb. It's Flaherty's…
Welp, last night was a roller coaster of emotions. Let's hope for better tonight in Cincy. Lefty Austin Gomber takes the mound for the Redbirds tonight, let's see if he has similar success to Poncdeleon. Let's ride. Lineups Peraza- SS Gennett- 2B Votto- 1B Suarez- 3B Duvall- LF Ervin- RF Casali- C Bailey- P Hamilton-…
