Welcome to another edition of Victor Scott II Mania! If center fielder Victor Scott II is ready to run in the big leagues, I see no reason for the Cardinals to be afraid of giving him a job on the season-opening 26-man roster. I would say this even if Tommy Edman was...
Chronicling the Cardinals. A Look at Three Dudes for March 13. 1. ALEC BURLESON: If we’ve learned anything about the Cardinals over the last 10 seasons, it’s their tendency to have an overcrowded outfield. Since the start of the 2014 season, the only one National...
With Tommy Edman (wrist) and Lars Nootbaar (ribs) doing more healing than playing, the Cardinals are missing two starting outfielders. There’s no reason to believe the rehabbing players will be ready to go by the start of the regular season on March 28. What’s a...

For the Cardinals, three encouraging trends are evident in Camp Jupiter 2024. I think they’re positive developments. This doesn’t mean I’m predicting the Cardinals will win 90+ games this season and romp to a National League pennant. That isn’t my point. But after a...
My initial reaction to the signing of free-agent shortstop Brandon Crawford: The Cardinals collected another antique! That isn’t necessarily a criticism. It’s more of an observation. Antiques can have value. Antiques can be aesthetically pleasing. Antiques can look...
BERNIE BITS As the kids would say, LFG! 1. It’s a new beginning for St. Louis City SC, and I’m excited to take in Saturday’s MLS season-opening match against visiting Real Salt Lake. In 2023, City stunned the circuit with its amazing success in winning the Western...
