THE REDBIRD REVIEW Baseball’s annual Memorial Day milepost has come and gone. It is a time when the 30 MLB front offices reassess their rosters, evaluating the strengths, weaknesses and areas of need. Welcome to June. Two months down, three months to go. The...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW After starting pitcher Miles Mikolas brilliantly sheltered them from harm in a 2-1 victory over the Royals, the Cardinals have two days off and a lot to think about. Regrouping and mobilizing after an atrocious 10-24 start, the Cardinals won 15 of...
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 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...

WELCOME TO THE REDBIRD REVIEW OVERVIEW: For the Cardinals and their fans, Thursday’s 10-9 loss to the Blue Jays was a source of frustration. When Nolan Arenado lined a two-run double in the bottom of the eighth to lift the home team to a 9-8 lead, the Cardinals had an...
Two weeks to go until Opening Day for the Cardinals. With the fellers cantering through the final days of spring training, I’ve been thinking about what we’ve seen so far. Reasons to be excited. Reasons to be disappointed. And also understanding that things can change...
