Let’s talk about Jeff Albert. I’m not here to take sides. I’ve taken jabs at the Cardinals’ lead batting coach. I’ve made fun of the “hitting lab” and the gizmos. Like many of you, I’ve wondered about his ability to get the most out of hitters. And I’ve questioned...
At the 2021 trade deadline, the Cardinals weren’t buyers. They weren’t sellers. They were nesters. They stayed in place. We knew the Cardinals would sit this one out; this should surprise no one. The Cardinals hadn’t been a patron in the summer trade mart...
Good morning. Here’s the second part of my look at a potential upturn for an ineffectual and disappointing St. Louis offense over the final 72 regular-season games. In Part One, I scanned Paul DeJong’s hitting profile to see if there’s a basis for second-half...
Harrison Bader is looking better by the day. I’m not speaking of Harry’s recovery from his rib injury, though he’s clearly on the move in his minor-league rehab assignment, stroking four hits in 11 at-bats through Tuesday. Bader is on track to return to the St. Louis...

Welcome To The Redbird Review The state of the Cardinals offense was summed up rather well, if not intentionally, by the exasperated manager Mike Shildt following Thursday’s humdrum 4-0 loss to Atlanta. “I’d rather not alibi the fact that we’ve haven’t been as...
Greetings. I usually have no problem coming up with a plethora of words, but the Cardinals are slowing me down. I just don’t know what to say at this point. The only word I can think of is walk. I could type out the word 240 times to match the MLB-worst 240 walks...
Welcome To The Redbird Review. Memorial Day serves as a useful checkpoint during a long campaign. The Cardinals are 53 games games into the schedule; that’s nearly 33 percent of the season. It’s sure going fast. So how are the Cardinals doing? The good stuff:the...
