THE REDBIRD REVIEW Broken arm. Broken season. Not him. Please. Not Willson Contreras. The Cardinals can’t lose him. The fans can’t lose him. He’s the team’s best player. He’s the one guy the team and the public can count on to post up in every game that he plays with...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW After failing to get a hit in his last 18 at-bats over five games, Paul Goldschmidt’s batting average plummeted to .203 on the season. Put that with a .297 onbase percentage and a sickly .273 slugging percentage, and we’ve witnessed the worst...

THE REDBIRD REVIEW Here are your 2024 Cardinals … Monday night: win 5-3 on a walk-off homer. Tuesday night: doze off in a 14-1 loss. The opportunity to churn needed momentum was created Monday and blown to smithereens on Tuesday. After producing their most delightful...
