THE REDBIRD REVIEW The Cardinals were able to grab two straight wins in New York before moving down the Atlantic coast for three games in Washington. They took two of three at Citi Field to win their first series since May 21, and the two-game winning streak is their...
We can find plenty of things wrong with the 2023 Cardinals. When your record is 27-42, the positives are minimal. This is a broken team with the worst record in the National League. Some failures were predictable. Except for president of baseball operations John...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW After Tuesday’s dispiriting 6-4 loss at Texas, manager Oli Marmol summed up the bewildering state of the 2023 Cardinals. “It’s frustrating for sure,” Marmol told reporters on site. “On nights that we hit, we give up more runs, and on nights that we...

THE REDBIRD REVIEW Note from Bernie: When the Cardinals play a day game on a weekday, I almost always file the Review before the first pitch. I wasn’t able to do that today, Thursday, because of family-related obligations. So I’m writing a shorter version of the...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW Good afternoon. Let’s get busy and recap the Cardinals’ solid 8-5 victory over the Reds on Tuesday at Great American Ballpark. There was a power plug-in from Paul Goldschmidt, another busy-bee performance by Tommy Edman, continued production from...
