THE REDBIRD REVIEW Believe it or not, I like to write nice things about the Cardinals. But as I’ve said more than a few times over the years, I can only work with the material I’ve been given. With the Cardinals bumbling through the first half of their 2023 schedule...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW During their three-game winning streak it’s been fun to watch the Cardinals dig in and fight. Their 8-6 victory Monday at Washington was ruthless, with the feisty visitors wiping out an early 5-0 deficit. This tenacious erasure was meaningful for a...

THE REDBIRD REVIEW Hello. Good morning. How ya doing? Don’t forget the Diamondbacks and Cardinals will close their three-game series Wednesday with an early 12:15 p.m start. After falling behind 8-3 on Tuesday, the Cardinals put up a fight to generate some late–game...
