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 Cardinals are on a roll! The Birds are ready to fly! Not really. But the fellers have to start somewhere in their renovation of a problem-plagued season. And if it means stepping on the pitiful Arizona Diamondbacks to lift themselves...
Welcome To The Redbird Review. It’s Monday June 21. The Cardinals just lost three out of four in Atlanta and have the day off before opening a two-game series at Detroit. But I’m writing. THE TROUBLING STATE OF THE OFFENSE: What’s the word … dormant? Unfruitful?...

Hello again. The Cardinals are now 1-3 against Chicago teams this season. Things will get better, right? Yes, we think so. In the words of Abraham Lincoln: “The best way to predict the future is to create it.” I believe Abe is telling president of baseball ops John...
