THE REDBIRD REVIEW That’s Baseball! Few among us would have put money down on the probability of the Cardinals taking three straight series on the road, winning six of nine games, against Atlanta, Cincinnati and Baltimore. The marooned, last-place Cardinals entered...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW The Cardinals actually led Baltimore 4-2 on Monday night but got outscored 7-1 the rest of the way. The Orioles, who have MLB’s second-best record, turned the competition into a blowout, defeating the overmatched visitors 11-5. This was no surprise....
THE REDBIRD REVIEW As the Cardinals get set to start a three-game series at Camden Yards, let’s look at the Baltimore Orioles as an important history lesson for Cardinals ownership and management. We can call it a cautionary tale, or a warning. But the Orioles are a...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW What’s gotten into the Cardinals? I don’t know, but maybe they’re eating their spinach. (Shout-out to Popeye the Sailor Man. Google it, kids.) I do know this: the Cardinals went into Atlanta and became the first and only opponent to pound out 10+...

The Cardinals play their next six games at Milwaukee and Colorado. Those are tough yards for pitchers, and the Cardinals will be going into the two hitter-friendly funhouses with a shaky starting rotation that has a 7.14 ERA in the early days of 2023. Gee, what...
Baseball’s new rules are working. Congratulations to MLB commissioner Rob Manfred. With the considerable assistance of former Red Sox and Cubs executive Theo Epstein, Manfred has modernized baseball to better fit our nation’s short-attention span culture....
