As we witness the end of the Mozeliak era and the dawn of the Age of Bloom, I want answers about 2025. I want to know where it all went wrong. And, as I drove to meet the Great Danny Mac for coffee last week at the amazing MAC West it hit me like a Bob Gibson fastball...
As the air turns to Autumn my mind turns to nostalgia. The teams of years gone by. The players, the fans in the stands, the sound of the roar from Clark echoing through the canyons of downtown. There were times of joy, despair, jubilation, and confetti below...
Let’s do this. I’m in. I love October, I love it more with local baseball on the telly. Can our Birds do it? Why the heck not? As you read this the St.Louis Cardinals are 61-61 having played 122 of their scheduled 162 games. 40 contests left. 40 opportunities to...
His numbers are good, not great. The respect from fans and media can be best described as “tepid.” But, I argue he has been what he was signed to be, an Ace. Now that I’ve lost 73% of readers who will now leave scathing comments after reading a sentence, how about us...

There’s been a week to reflect upon Nolan Arenado hitting the 350th home run of his career last week. That number alone is impressive, but there have been 102 other fellas to do it as well. But you pair it with 10 Gold Gloves, and you have one of the most exclusive...
I can’t lie; it’s been a rough couple of weeks here in what was formerly known as baseball heaven. We followers of Fredbird have suffered through seven losses in eight games. Three of those coming at the hands of the insufferable makers of the worst beer in North...
Happy Thursday to you all! Since the Cardinals bullpen has decided to give up more runs than me at the Sunset Hills Softball fields, I need a break from exclusive Redbird talk. So, here is Volume 2 of the 2025 Sauls-Bag, where we only field the best and most pressing...
I have been in love with this group of underdogs since the first day of spring training. I never wanted Gray, Fedde, or Arenado traded. I wouldn’t have been able to stand it. And, thanks to the front office standing pat (players not waiving no-trade clauses, the...
