Cardinals try to play spoiler in three games against Reds – A Series Preview
It is pretty annoying that the Cardinals would have a real chance at a wild card spot if they merely had a normal week last week instead of going 1-5. Even with that bad of a week, they didn’t actually lose any ground, which is mind-boggling. But 4 games out with 12 games to play […]

What to watch for during last homestand of 2025
The St. Louis Cardinals fell flat against the Milwaukee Brewers and got to watch the NL Central leaders celebrate their trip to the postseason over the weekend.

Organizational Depth: Pitchers
As far as depth is concerned, pitching has to be the hardest to plan ahead long-term. There are a couple of reasons for this. The first is simply that injuries are commonplace. They can set back the timeline, they can derail a career. But even without injuries, you can’t be sure where a pitcher ends […]

A St. Louis Cardinals fan’s guide to (meaningful) September baseball
Last I checked, the St. Louis Cardinals had a 0.3% chance of making the postseason. By the time you read this, they may be mathematically eliminated—for the third straight year. If that holds, it’ll mark the first time the Cardinals have missed October three seasons in a row since 1997–99. There&rsquo...

The St. Louis Cardinals – How well did they develop players in 2025?
Warning: This is not a prospect list. It is, however, a list of young minor league players that I think had the best seasons this year and could arguably be on a list of the guys who improved/developed/advanced the most over the course of this year. It is an accumulation of writing “Tonight on the […]

Series Preview – St. Louis Cardinals visit the Milwaukee Brewers – Sep 12 – 14
Intro The Cardinals close out the west coast swing. Funny, I don’t remember Milwaukee being west coast. Maybe it is the new geography. The 72-75 Cardinals limp into Milwaukee coming on the heels of a sweep at the hands of the Seattle Mariners. The Pitching Matchups (projected) Friday – Pallante vs Priester ...

This upcoming event should be exciting for Cardinals fans
The Cardinals got swept by the Mariners and are now 72-75 heading into their upcoming series with the Brewers. Chances of reaching the playoffs are remote. I would say I’m disappointed, but I think it’s hard to feel that way when expectations for this season were so low anyway, at least among the fanbase. B...

Is Springfield’s success worth getting excited about?
The St. Louis Cardinals major league squad has teased with us for long enough. Despite the team only being a handful of games out of a playoff spot, I am personally ready to write (in erasable pen) the 2025 season as the third consecutive season in which the Cardinals have missed the postseason. However, it […]
