THE REDBIRD REVIEW The Zack and Dak Show is on tour, performing well in an August audition. The Cardinals have an overall 5.90 starting-pitching ERA this month. That ranks 26th in the majors and 14th in the National League. But we can’t blame Dakota Hudson or Zack...
THE REDBIRD REVIEW The Cardinals are playing auto-repeat baseball. Every game looks the same, feels the same, and ends the same. It’s like listening to the R.E.M song “Everybody Hurts” over and over again. Oh, the Cardinals win a ballgame every now and then just to...
REDBIRD REVIEW. Let’s talk about Quality Starts. In Monday’s 4-0 loss at San Francisco, St. Louis starter Jordan Montgomery delivered the Cardinals’ fourth quality start of the season, and he owns three of them. It didn’t matter. The Cards...

Buster Posey announced his retirement on Thursday, packing up his catcher’s gear at age 34 after a distinguished 12-season MLB career. Posey should be an easy call for the Hall of Fame. The Giants’ catcher was the NL MVP in 2012, won four Silver Sluggers and a Gold...
