St Louis Cardinals 2023

Team is in a stretch of 19 straight days without a day off. Had to kind of expect they'd get a day off at some point though maybe not all the same day.
He actually has a worse ERA between last season and this season than MadBum did in the same time frame when Arizona cut him early this season.

Miles Mikolas breezes through seven shutout innings as Cardinals split Cincy series
Mikolas and former Cardinals' first-rounder Luke Weaver went zero for zero through eight innings, and the Cardinals rested three of their All-Stars.
Tipsheet: Money hasn't bought happiness for Phillies, Padres so far this season
Two of baseball's biggest disappointments this season have been two of the biggest spenders, the Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres.
BenFred: More Steven Matz starts won't justify Cardinals contract. A relief role could.
Steven Matz has no wins and a 5.72 ERA this season. He’s allowed a National League-worst 68 hits. This is not some new and unfortunate phenomenon.

Ashley Stephens.................no clue...................
nothing in the paper and I missed the pregame show
Emily Stephens. Don't know that she's actually replacing anyone perse (more on that below). The Cardinals website lists her as a Multimedia Video Communications Specialist. She is a reporter/producer who does video features on the Cardinals website, social media channels, and the Cardinals Insider TV show.
Per Dan Caesar of the Post-Dispatch, Jim Hayes has a family function to attend this weekend so that's why Emily is working the Friday and Sunday games in this series. Tom Ackerman will be calling both games of the Kansas City series this upcoming week.
His son graduated 8th grade.....planned in advance for this

Cleveland guards against Cardinals’ late-inning comeback tries, keeps middle order quiet
Matthew Liberatore allows all four runs in one fifth-inning burst as Guardians hold tight for 4-3 victory Friday. Cardinals cannot capitalize in final four innings.
Did rookie Matthew Liberatore do enough to maintain bid to remain in Cardinals’ rotation?
CLEVELAND – It became clear early in his latest duel against an ace that Cardinals rookie Matthew Liberatore’s curveball intended to misbehave Friday night.
Geez. All that talent. What is it with this guy? (O’Neill)
Cardinals catchers respond to Dodger Max Muncy claim they 'bullied' umps: Cardinals Extra

From yesterday's paper.......................................
O’Neill stops activities, Carlson to start them
Outfielder Tyler O’Neill has halted his baseball activities back in St. Louis as he and the team determine the next step in what’s become an extended recovery from a lower back strain. O’Neill missed his 18th game Tuesday and did not take batting practice as hoped Monday or moved closer to a rehab assignment that was already delayed.

Cardinals needed a jolt so Brendan Donovan made a run for it. 'We stole that one.'
Donovan creates a run without a hit in the 10th inning, adds to his home run earlier for a 2-1 win against Cleveland that had all the trappings of his
Cardinals, with a wheezing offense, create a run without a hit to edge Cleveland in 10th
Brendan Donovan steals third, scores on a passed ball in the Cardinals' 2-1 victory Saturday night at Progressive Field. Donovan also homered.
How can Steven Matz keep a spot in rotation? It begins in the bullpen: Cardinals Extra
Miles Mikolas will stay on his normal schedule and start Tuesday against Royals at Busch Stadium. That recasts Matz as a reliever, but how long is up to him.
We seriously have to look at a better 9th inning option. Lee Smith still available? 
He might, problem with him is he can't play anywhere but 1st base and is another right handed bat. Could see him getting moved as he's obviously ready for the majors and is just kinda blocked.

As Jordan Montgomery gets his hands on sharper pitches, win still elusive: Cardinals Extra
The Cardinals have lost Jordan Montgomery's past nine starts. Also, the Cardinals have a Rick Hummel tribute planned.
Who will handle Cardinals’ closer role a question after Cleveland Guardians’ walk-off win
Two walks by Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley in the ninth inning primed the Cleveland Guardians' Jose Ramirez for a game-winning two-run double.
Guardians turn walks into win, upend Cardinals in ninth inning for walk-off, 4-3 stunner
Jose Ramirez's two-out, two-run single off Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley completes comeback, overtakes Cardinals' lead from three solo homers.

no coverage of the Indy 500 in the paper today is kinda puzzling..........................3 red flags and a 1 lap runoff......figured it would garner some coverage ...............JMHO

Hochman: Seven thoughts on the state of the St. Louis Cardinals
Are these Cardinals good enough to win the National League pennant for the first time in 10 long years? No. Not now, anyway.

I can answer that in one.. Our Pitching Sucks A$$... How many games will Hellsly lose before they realize he isnt closer materialHochman: Seven thoughts on the state of the St. Louis Cardinals

Not sure if this is pre- or post yesterday, but Cards lead the majors in blown saves: 24 save opportunities and 12 blown saves. Helsley has blown 4 of 10 opportunities, while Hicks and Pallante have each blown 2 of 2. We definitely need a starter or two, but if we can’t get a lockdown closer, we’re not going anywhere.
Just imagine if we’d only blown half of those 12 lost saves. We’d be 30-25 and leading the Central.

The Cardinals were held scoreless in a home loss that began their two-game I-70 series with the KC Royals at Busch Stadium.
Tipsheet: Royals gain valuable learning experience against crafty Wainwright
Cardinals starting pitcher tried everything to keep the young Royals hitters off-balance, but they found ways to beat him.
Cardinals prospect Jordan Walker's mechanical tweaks unleash his potential in Memphis

Cardinals star prospect Jordan Walker has made strides in Memphis, and the major league outfield's numbers have dipped since he departed.
