CARDINALS ACQUIRE VETERAN STARTER JOSE QUINTANA FROM PIRATES; REDBIRDS ALSO GET RHP CHRIS STRATTON IN DEAL FOR OVIEDO & NUNEZ ST. LOUIS, MO., August 1, 2022 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced tonight that they have acquired veteran left-handed pitcher Jose Quintana and right-handed reliever Chris Stratton from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for right-handed…
It’s hard to remember that the Cardinals played last week, since the only topic of discussion was Juan Soto; but they did play last week and there were 2 disappointing games to go with 3 wins. The Cardinals were 1-1 in Toronto without Paul Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado, and Austin Romine (all on the restricted list…
Everything was looking up for the Cardinals before starting the second half. They were coming out of the break on a 2-game winning streak, going up against the Reds, and getting Steven Matz back from the IL. They had 5 All Stars and a guy in the Home Run Derby. And then they actually played…
After a rough week, the Cardinals rebounded with a 4-2 week. Granted, they went 1-2 against the Dodgers in an ugly fashion. They went 2-0 against the Reds with a rainout. The Cardinals were lucky to only get a win against the Dodgers. The Cardinals bullpen almost blew game 1 after getting to a 6-1…
Things continue to get worse during a tough stretch for the Cardinals; the Braves and the Phillies are 2 of the hotter teams right now, and the Cardinals showed their current roster can’t hold up to playoff contenders. The pitching is stretched thin and the hitting is very inconsistent. The Braves took 3 of 4…
Winners come from 18 organizations; Braves lead with three winners July 6, 2022 — Minor League Baseball™ (MiLB™) today announced the Player and Pitcher of the Month Award winners for June in each of the 14 leagues in Major League Baseball’s player development system. International League (Triple-A)Syracuse Mets infielder/outfielder Travis Blankenhorn batted .402/.486/.674 and led…
What a week? The Cardinals get swept by the Tampa Bay Rays, but take 2 out of 3 against the Reds. Normally a 2-4 record would not be good for the standings; yet somehow the Cardinals ended up moving past the Brewers and taking first place. The Rays series was bad; they struggled to hit…
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…
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…
Tuesday, May 10—Sunday, May 15 ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 10, 2022 – The Cardinals return from a six-game road trip to open an six-game homestand at Busch Stadium including a three game interleague series against the Baltimore Orioles (May 10-12) followed by a three-game weekend series with the San Francisco Giants (May 13-15). Fans can…
A successful road trip is .500, and the Cardinals did that. After taking 1 game from the Royals at Busch, they split a 2-games series with them in KC, then split a 4-game series in San Francisco. The Giants are a good team and definitely shows some of the Cardinals flaws. The Cardinals out scored…
