I’m always in the mood for baseball scuttlebutt and the offseason and bits of informed speculation that involve the Cardinals. Thankfully, the hard-working Ken Rosenthal (The Athletic) came through earlier this week. Rosenthal wrote that the Cardinals and Marlins have...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW After winning the first two games of the series against the Marlins, the Cardinals will try to complete the sweep on Wednesday night at Busch Stadium. Standing in the way is a large and imposing obstacle. His name is Sandy Alcantara, and Miami’s...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW After a downer, buzzkill weekend and a series given away to the Cubs, the Cardinals had themselves a happy good time playing baseball on Monday night, flogging the visiting Miami Marlins by a 9-0 count. Adam Wainwright pitched like an ace. Paul...
