THE REDBIRD REVIEW As the Cardinals begin the long and winding process that leads them into the 2025 season, I’m already on the way to setting a record for typing and saying these two words: young players. Or, if you prefer … young guys or maybe young dudes. As in:...
It will be fun to watch Tommy Edman play in his first World Series when the 2024 fall classic begins Friday night in Los Angeles. Dodgers and Yankees. Huge stars, huge treasuries, huge media markets, huge hype. Oh, and Jack Flaherty is set to start Game 1 for the LA....
THE REDBIRD REVIEW The Cardinals couldn’t complete a four-game sweep of the Pirates because the offense got shut down again in Thursday’s 3-2 loss at Busch Stadium. For the 73rd time this season, the Cardinals were held to three runs or fewer in a game. Only three NL...

THE REDBIRD REVIEW The standings math is grim, but I don’t want to totally eliminate the Cardinals from playoff contention just yet. I’m not being naive here. I just respect the process. Cue up Lenny Kravitz: It Ain’t Over ’til It’s Over. I didn’t...
