THE REDBIRD REVIEW Hello, friends. It’s once again time to process my thoughts into written words. Today, it’s Part II of my three first-half report cards for the 2023 Cardinals. Next up: the pitchers. — This area has been the No. 1 problem for the 2023...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW At least the 2023 Cardinals have set one record this season … well, sort of. This malfunctioning unit is the first St. Louis team to be submerged as low as 14 games below .500 at the All-Star break since Bill DeWitt Jr. took over the franchise in...
