THE REDBIRD REVIEW Can we trust the Cardinals? Honestly, I’m not sure. Their season has been a sequence of ups and downs. They lost 24 of their first 34 games, only to win 11 of the next 14, and then stalling through a 3-7 road trip to Cincinnati and Cleveland. This...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW: FUN WITH NUMBERS Last offseason, free-agent shortstops Dansby Swanson, Trea Turner, Xander Bogaerts and Carlos Correa signed deals that will pay them $775 million over the life of their contracts. And this season the four high-priced shortstops are...
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...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW After an exhilarating and successful 5-2 homestand, the Cardinals hit the road to begin another adventure. First stop: Cincinnati and a frustrating 6-5 loss to the Reds in 10 innings. Monday’s defeat was a disappointing way to launch a challenging...

THE REDBIRD REVIEW It was another good and entertaining evening of baseball for your St. Louis Cardinals. Thursday at Busch Stadium, the home team turned the Dodgers blue – and purple because of all of the bruises – by going NASA with seven home runs discharged into...
Each time Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong does something big in a game, I shake my head and laugh at myself for thinking he was 100 percent done. And I know that many of you gave up on him, too. And there were many reasons to feel that way. Let’s be honest about this,...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW For the Cardinals, maybe 2023 was supposed to be this way: confusing, controversial, and wildly inconsistent. After lurching to an abominable 10-24 start that ranked as the third-worst winning percentage (.294) through 34 games in franchise history...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW Here’s your daily reminder: The St. Louis starting pitching stinks. That would be John Mozeliak’s starting pitching. The Cardinals had a chance to sweep the Cubs on Wednesday but couldn’t get it done. An early 2-0 lead was blown into...
