St Louis Cardinals 2026

Way to get out of a jam! And thanks to the A’s baserunners for terrible base running.

Cardinals follow that up with 2 terrible at bats by Pages and Scott. Pages stands there looking at strike three over the middle of the plate with no outs and a runner at 3rd. Scott is up and it looked like they had a squeeze play on. Pulls his bat back on a strike and Winn is out.

They most definitely had a squeeze play on. VSII left Winn out to dry. He couldn't have had a better pitch to lay down a bunt. I am not sure why he showed bunt and then pulled the bat back just before the ball crossed the center of the plate, when Winn was more than halfway down the basepath. When they showed Winn afterwards in the dugout, he was obviously none too happy.

I am more than ready to be done with VSII. He is currently batting .178 with an OPS of .471 ... we have Jon Jay on the bench in uniform serving as a coach, and I am fairly confident that he could go out there today and put up better numbers than what VSII is giving them.

I'm not ready to give up on him yet. If his numbers look like this in August, I will be with you.

VS II with an unlikely smashed tater , his second of the year..........1-1 going to bottom of 5th.....

McGreevy has retired the last 9 hitters in a row.......he gets better as the game goes on............

Jordan Walker with his 12th HR giving the Cardinals their first lead today at 2-1..........Winn just turned a ground ball into winding up at 3rd , nobody out........Gorman drives Win in with an RBI single off a lefty......3-1 Cardinals , nobody out runner on 1st.................
 
#582      
this HP ump has had more challenges on balls and strike calls overturned than any game I have watched this year....he really really has.....
 
#583      
Stanek is such an enigma to me......good stuff but poor control....gave up HR and then walked next batter in 1/3 IP.....

3-2 Cardinals with now 2 runners on and Romero in to pitch.......

now 4-3 A's and McGreevy's great game out the window................

Walker 2-5
O’Reilly with the save
Ivan with a big hit.

{ 25-18 }

THAT'S A WINNER !!!!!!!!!!!...............

What an epic comeback by this gritty band of Redbirds overcoming a 4-3 deficit in the top of the 9th with a 2 run rally for the 5-4 victory........................

McGreevy with a Quality Start no decision going 6 IP , 5 H , 1 ER , 1 W , 3 K's......
Stanek and Romero squandered the lead before Svanson came in with 1 IP , 0 ER , 2 K's...........
O'Brien 1 IP , 2 K's for his 13th save..............

Herrera singled in tying run and Jordan Walker doubled in winning run in the top of the 9th........GREAT WIN CARDINALS !!!!!!!!

I like Noot, he seems to be a good guy and a good teammate. Having said that 2026 needs to be the year he proves he's anything more than a 4th OF/platoon player. He's also had trouble staying off the injured list. Not Tyler O'Neill level trouble but definitely injury prone.
 
#593      
He routinely calls in to this morning show in StL and is always entertaining. Definitely an EDG...

I like this years team.

We got an all star in Wetherholt

Walker is finally showing he can be a 30 HR 110 RBI cleanup hitter.

Really need to get two league average players for CF and LF. Church is improving. Scott just cant hit 184

How about bring Koperniak up - he is hitting .292

He has had a lot of opportunity to shed that 4th outfielder tag ( and staying healthy is part of the job resume). There has never been enough pop in the bat for a corner outfielder.

I've really been impressed by Walker's defense this year compared to previous years,,,,,has a cannon of an arm and been accurate with his throws............
 
#599
