I live in the Chicago burbs, so I watch thru mlb.tv. and don't have to listen to the opposing team broadcast. The mlb.tv app is great, I watch alot of baseball when the Cards aren't on, but it is really frustrating that it doesn't work on my newer Samsung and Sony tvs. I had to get a roku stick for my bar TV and bought a roku TV for outside and that has saved me.

Just win. Our broadcast just brought up the fact we haven't committed an error yet this season. Didn't realize that. Our pitchers need to use the defense, they'll obviously make the play most of the time.
I live in the Metro East so no blackout for BSM. Tonight's game is not on the primary BSM but is on the alternate BSM channel. This is at least the second time this season. Blues are on the primary tonight and I think that was the case before. Cards looking good tonight.
For whatever reason I can't get the KMOX game coverage on the Audacy app. Not here not anywhere.

I hadn't realized that either.....wow , so the defense is errorless and the pitchers walk everyone in sight ........Monty is a keeper....Best lefty since jaime garcia and an upgrade from him........at least I can't remember any other lefty's better
I've been suffering with some bad migraines associated with allergies .....I was outside earlier today and was walking around my car and the windshield was a green tint from all the pollen.........Time for my meds..........it really really is...............

Jaime, I always like Jaime. He reminded me if Johan Santana, JG just was never able to put it all together. He battled some injuries if I remember. Also, wasn't it game 2 against the Cubs where he had that bad throw to first and the wheels just fell off.
Anyways, I've been happy with Montgomery. He said he is willing to talk, but the team hasn't engaged. I'd like to keep him, I wonder how ready the organization thinks some of the young guys are by this time next year.
Take care of those allergies, I'm sure you've got the good meds.

John Tudor (1985-90) and Steve Carlton (1965-71) pop to mind as lefties. That has been awhile. The dates are just their Cardinal years. Both of them did several years elsewhere. I still think of them as Cardinals.

Best lefty I can remember right now off the top of my head , at least my favorite one , is John Tudor .....that stretch he had after starting season 1-7 (I believe thats right ) winning like 20 or 21 in a row was special.........Carlton wasn't with the cardinals long enough to be up there with Gibby and Forsch and others.....JMHO
Curt Simmons was a favorite of mine a very long time ago........fearless

Nolan Arenado, Jordan Montgomery launch Cardinals toward completely blanking Brewers
Third baseman joins the 300-homer club, lefty gives Cardinals their first quality start in overwhelming seven innings on the way to a 6-0 victory in Milwaukee.
Derrick Goold
MILWAUKEE — A mix of milestones ranging from the deeply personal to the potentially historic to the absolutely necessary merged together for the complete kind of game the Cardinals have promised.
Nolan Arenado’s first home run of the season reached the seats Saturday night for the 300th of his career, and that bolt helped launch the Cardinals toward a 6-0 victory Friday night against Milwaukee at American Family Field. The tidy, shiny, and significant round number comes just days ahead of the 10th anniversary of Arenado’s big-league debut, and it highlighted the first game of the season that brought all aspects of the Cardinals’ team together.
They took an early lead.
They got power from Arenado with his 300th career home run and rookie Jordan Walker with his second career home run. Walker’s homer carried his hitting streak to eight games to start his career — a place only two other big leaguers have been at age 20 or younger.

Why Cardinals' Nolan Arenado feels 300th homer is sign of powerful upswing in production
With first homer of 2023, Arenado is seventh to hit 300th career homer as a Cardinal and second infielder ever to have 300 homers with 10 or more Gold Gloves.
Derrick Goold
MILWAUKEE — About the same time an American Family Field employee sifted through the fans in left field to retrieve a baseball Nolan Arenado will give to his parents, the Cardinals’ third baseman sat in the dugout with a smile the size of his achievement and his relief.
Teammate Lars Nootbaar stood nearby and reached toward Arenado’s shoulders. He announced, to anyone who was listening, what they all could do.
“Grab that monkey off his back,” Nootbaar instructed.
Sitting on 299 career home runs for six months and seven games, Arenado unloaded on a changeup Saturday night for his first homer of the season and the 300th of his career. Arenado’s two-run shot in the third inning off Milwaukee starter Eric Lauer widened the Cardinals’ lead as they romped for a 6-0 victory that ended the Brewers’ six-game winning streak. Jordan Montgomery pitched seven scoreless innings to deliver the Cardinals their first win in six days. Arenado laughed “just like a kid having fun,” said manager Oliver Marmol, as Nootbaar pantomimed the removal of a burden from Arenado’s shoulder. The real heavy lifting had already happened.

Last pitcher out, first pitcher up as Genesis Cabrera speeds back to majors: Cardinals Extra
Lefty replaces Packy Naughton, who returned to St. Louis on Saturday for an MRI to determine severity of a left forearm strain. Also: Rookie Jordan Walker's swing is in.
Derrick Goold
MILWAUKEE — For the first pitching roster move of the season, the Cardinals turned to a reliever who was the last cut of spring training and must trust his effectiveness will be worth the wait for his availability.
A few hours after lefty Packy Naughton abruptly left Friday’s game with discomfort in his forearm, Genesis Cabrera boarded a flight to rejoin the Cardinals from Class AAA Memphis. Cabrera threw two innings and 27 pitches for the Triple-A Redbirds on Friday, meaning the Cardinals won’t be able to use him until Sunday’s series finale at the earliest. Manager Oliver Marmol said the choice was guided by one already made in spring — when the Cardinals took lefty Naughton ahead of Genesis.
“He was the last man out,” Marmol said. “That’s the guy we’re going to count on next.”
Naughton was initially diagnosed with a left forearm strain and could miss an extended stretch of games. During the eighth inning Friday, he signaled to the dugout by clenching his fist after misfiring on a pitch that walked Christian Yelich. Naughton had an MRI taken of his elbow and forearm Saturday in St. Louis, and once that’s reviewed by the team’s medical staff the Cardinals will have a picture of the extent of damage and a potential treatment for an injury in a problematic area for pitchers.
For whatever reason, it only works for me if I'm connected to wifi.
Adblock Plus helps, for the most part, with not having to deal with those pop-ups.
Steve Carlton was 77-62 in a Redbird uniform. In 1970 he was 9-19 and in 1971 he was 20-9. He was traded for Rick Wise, who spent 2 years with the Cardinals. Wise was 32-28 in those 2 years with an ERA less than 3.50 in both seasons. Wise finished his career with a 188-181 record. Actually Wise was much better with the Cardinals than I remember. As an observer of Cardinal baseball for years and not necessarily an expert, I believe the Carlton trade was the worst trade in Cardinal history since 1960. Mike Ditka once said that Geotge Halas threw quarters around like manhole covers. Gussie Busch was not far behind Halas in my opinion.

Cardinals cannot close the gap as Brewers capitalize on chances, take game and series
In a 6-1 loss Sunday, Cardinals whiff on a bases-loaded chance in the eighth inning that continued their weekend of missed opportunities in Wisconsin.
Derrick Goold
MILWAUKEE — The opportunities the Cardinals missed to reshape the outcome of a weekend in Wisconsin were as costly as the ones the Brewers did just enough to capitalize on.
Christian Yelich had three hits and a solo home run to drive Milwaukee to a 6-1 victory on Easter at American Family Field. The Brewers had only two hits Sunday afternoon with a runner in scoring position, but each time they delivered a two-run double. Willy Adames had the first to give the Brewers an early lead, and he added a solo homer later. The Cardinals, meanwhile, left the bases loaded in the eighth, just as they had twice on Friday night. And they went one-for-12 with runners in scoring position.
Brewers starter Freddy Peralta allowed one run on four hits through six innings, and he struck out seven. Jake Woodford steadied himself in his second start of the season but allowed three runs – all of them driven in by Adames.
The Brewers won the first series of the season between the division rivals and will not host the Cardinals again in Milwaukee until the Cardinals’ final road series of the season.
Milwaukee has won all three of its series this season and seven of eight games.
In each game, even the one they won, the Cardinals had a chance to change the look on the scoreboard and failed to do what the Brewers did.

Rookie Jordan Walker's splendid start ties Ted Williams' debut streak: Cardinals Extra
With an RBI single that produced the Cardinals' lone run Sunday, Walker has nine-game hitting streak to tie longest in debut at age 20 or younger since 1912.
Derrick Goold
MILWAUKEE — The man who has the Cardinals’ franchise record for the longest hitting streak by a rookie marvels at Jordan Walker and his historic hitting streak not because of the length but because of the age.
“I think about a young guy coming into the big leagues and you’re trying to feel yourself out and see where you fit and the whole grand scheme of things, and the adjustments he makes from day to day is extremely impressive,” said bench coach Joe McEwing, who in 1999 had a 25-game hitting streak for the Cardinals as a rookie. He was 26.
“His at-bats have been unbelievable. I couldn’t fathom that at 20 years old.”
At 20 years, 322 days, Walker extended the hitting streak Sunday to start his big-league career to nine games. That matches the longest such streak by a player age 20 or younger to start his career in the past 110 years — Hall of Famer Ted Williams did so in 1939.
In 1912, Philadelphia Athletics’ right fielder Eddie Murphy set the MLB record with a 12-game hitting streak to start his career before his 21st birthday.With an RBI single in the fourth inning, Walker delivered the Cardinals’ lone run in their 6-1 loss Sunday to Milwaukee. In six of the nine games he’s extended the hitting streak by his second at-bat of the game, and on Sunday he showed another dimension of his game by working a walk after falling behind 0-2.
I want to see the pitching rotation go through 3-4 times before I comment on the pitching staff
Brought this up last season, during offseason and right now I look for there to be an OF move at some point. Have way too many guys that could play and not sure the best will be getting the most at bats once Nootbaar does return. I would like to thank Jordan Walker for making that a good thing
My hot take is I look for either Tyler O'Neill and/or Jordan Hicks to be in a different uniform before the season is over
Have a nice blend of veterans and youth and time to strike while the main core is still in their prime years. OF Bryan Reynolds from Pirates is on the market and tearing it up for the Pirates. Otherwise I would be fine with trading the player above for pitching help or even pitching prospects down the road. The word "potential" gets thrown around a lot with the guys mentioned above.
I actually like O'Neill so not taking a dig on him at all. Streaky player who has 30 HR power and 20-30 SB potential on any given year. Same time injuries worry me long term with him plus low batting average and high K rate. If we were short on outfielders I wouldn't even bring it up but there is a platoon. Percentage is low but would be something if we had Reynolds and Walker in the OF together.
