Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post Dispatch is reporting that the St. Louis Cardinals have re-signed long-time pitcher Adam Wainwright. No word yet on length or dollar amount, but I’m expecting a 1 year deal in the $12-15M range. Wainwright is coming off an average season that started very strong, but ended with a…
I don’t envy Oli Marmol and the Cardinals front office today; there are some tough choices for building their Wild Card roster. The starting 9 are pretty much set, but who should be on the bench and pitching raises a lot of questions marks. The Starting 9It’s pretty obvious what the starting lineup will be:Brendan…
Ok…the week wasn’t the worst they’ve had this year, but it started a stretch of games against contenders. They handled the Marlins taking the series 2-1; even with the 2 losses, they were 6-4 in their last 10 and headed in a better direction. The Cardinals outscored the Fish 17-7 in the series, thanks to…
So I missed last week, so here is 2 weeks worth of stories, news, and numbers. I’ll make it quick; 4 games against the Pirates, 3 at the Red Sox, 4 at the Brewers, and 3 games against the Cubs over the last 2 weeks. They walked out with a 7-7 record: 3-1 against the…
The Cardinals had an interesting, long week. A 3-game series sweep at home against the Padres made everyone optimistic going into a long series in Chicago; the Cardinals were able to salvage 3 wins in the 5 game series. The Cardinals outscored the Padres 14-7. The team played a well rounded game; they hit, pitched,…
I’m a day late due to Memorial day, but content is the same (although I’ll look at yesterday’s game next week). Could we say last week was a rough week? On paper, splitting a 2-game series with the Blue Jays and a 4-game series with the Brewers looks acceptable; in reality, it didn’t feel as…

LOUIS, MO., May 26, 2022 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced this afternoon a sequence of roster moves in advance of their series opener with Milwaukee.

After a rough start last week against the Orioles (1-2), the Cardinals played much better against the Giants (2-1). And like the previous week, the team was very inconsistent. The bad series against the O’s was pretty weird; the team out scored Baltimore 15-9, but the losses were 1 and 2 runs, while blowing out…
Taking 4 out of 6 is a good week, especially early on in the season; unfortunately there will be a segment of fans upset that they didn’t sweep the Marlins and Reds, 2 teams that are currently under .500. People need to remember that a team really needs to just win half of their road…
CARDINALS ANNOUNCE 2022 OPENING DAY ROSTER; 17 PLAYERS DEVELOPED WITHIN THE ORGANIZATION; SIX NEWCOMERS ON TEAM ST. LOUIS, MO., April 7, 2022 – The St. Louis Cardinals will open their 131ST season of play in the National League this afternoon when they host the Pittsburgh Pirates at 3:15 p.m. CDT in the opening game of…
Now that the Cardinals have clinched a playoff spot, it’s safe to look at who would be available to the team in October. 2 things to remember is the roster construction can change between rounds, and only players on the 40-man roster prior to September 1st are eligible for postseason play (except if they are…
