BIRD BYTES Let’s say it again: Pitching wins. The Cardinals are reminding us of this traditional baseball reality since diving in on May 12 to begin the process of resuscitating their season. During their 30-17 stretch that began on Mother’s Day up yonder in...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW Andre Pallante was there all along, hoping for a chance to submit an application for membership in the St. Louis starting rotation. The Cardinals didn’t really see that for him. They were still trying to convince everyone – unsuccessfully – that...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW Next stop for the Cardinals: four games in Washington D.C. One thing to definitely keep an eye on is how much offense the Redbirds will generate against the Nationals’ scheduled row of starting pitchers. The Cardinals will face four left-handed...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW Nolan Gorman had a stressful (for him) and alarming (for us) performance in June. Swing and a miss. Swing and a miss. Swing and a miss. Poor dude. Get this man into July to start over, and hope the Cardinals won’t have to set up a reunion,...

A chainsaw sound effect buzzes over the sound system at Goss Stadium in Corvallis each time an Oregon State pitcher records a strikeout. That was Quinn Mathews first impression of future teammate Cooper Hjerpe. Mathews picked up his first career save in Stanford’s 1-0...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW The Cardinals put a capper on June with a 16-12 record for the month. All in all, that’s pretty good. The 16-12 certainly indicates progress and is the best June mark by a Cardinal team since 2015. June has been a tough month for St. Louis...
WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S At the midpoint of the 2024 regular season, the Cardinals are perched in a pretty good spot at 42-39. On the surface there’s nothing special about that record, but the context matters. This 42-39 looks mighty fine considering how deeply the...
