Breakout Cardinals and prospects from the 2022 season

The 2022 season ended in a disappointing way for the Cardinals. Lars Nootbaar broke out during the second half of the season and is expected to be a star player for St. Louis in the 2023 season.  Paul Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado, and Albert Pujols were the main highlights of this season's Cardinals team. Other players who impressed were Harrison Bader, Dylan Carlson, Tyler O'Neill, Nootsbaer, who is a good hitter and a solid defender.

10 bold predictions for the St. Louis Cardinals in 2024

Happy New Year, Cardinals fans! If there was ever a season where the Cardinals truly needed a calendar change, it was the disaster that was 2023. While they've done some lifting to address some of their issues from last year, the jury is still out on how successful they'll be at making 2024 a year to remember. I recently revisited my bold…

Revisiting my 7 bold predictions for the Cardinals 2023 season

On March 26th, 2023, I made 7 bold predictions about the St. Louis Cardinals upcoming season. These were intentionally bold predictions, meant to push the envelope beyond what the typical expectations were and instead "go out on a limb" a bit to see what may happen. Looking back on the list, some of these takes aged pretty well, while others did…

John Mozeliak confirms the Cardinals are shopping Tyler O'Neill

The Cardinals have already addressed their starting rotation, having added Sonny Gray, Lance Lynn, and Kyle Gibson. They may not be done there, but they were very aggressive in terms of addressing their rotation needs. But what about the offense? Are things set in stone on the offensive side, or can we expect some changes in the coming days with…

Could the Cardinals land Japanese star Yoshinobu Yamamoto?

Could the Cardinals land Japanese star Yoshinobu Yamamoto?

ST. LOUIS - We're nearly a week into MLB free agency. There haven't been many big splashes yet, but it might not take long in a free agent market with plenty of upside, especially for pitching. Cy Young candidates Blake Snell and Sonny Gray are available. So are bona fide innings-eater Aaron Nola and new World Series champion Jordan Montgomery.…

This season hasn't gone quite as expected for Houston Astros starter Cristian Javier. The right-hander was coming off a 2022 campaign where he looked unhittable at times and was striking out batters like there was no tomorrow. However, that hasn't been the case in 2023. That said, Javier has started to show some flashes of the guy he was last…

Bernie's Redbird Review: Here Are 20 Predictions For The Cardinals' Second Half.

Greetings. Here are my fearless - and possibly idiotic - second-half predictions for your beloved 2023 St. Louis Cardinals. I'll present 20 predictions and I hope to bat at least.250. 1. The Cardinals will be more successful in the second half but won't get to.500. An example: the 1986 Cardinals had the exact same record (38-52) as this year's team…

STL Cards in odds race for Shohei Ohtani, but with plenty of competition

The St. Louis Cardinals don't have the best odds to land Shohei Ohtani but can their winning culture and Ohtani's new relationship with Lars Nootbaar be convincing enough to land the former MVP? Shohei Ohtani's free agency has been and will continue to be a major talking point throughout the 2023 season. He's on a Los Angeles Angels team that…

If Jordan Walker is for real, the St. Louis Cardinals are now World Series contenders

Around the league, the Cardinals have been touted for having one of the best lineups in the game, boasting high-upside players with a lineup of hitters one through nine in the order. The one "knock" that people sometimes give St. Louis is the lack of a "third or fourth" elite bat, but the emergence of Walker would end any of those concerns. Sure,…

St. Louis Cardinals season preview

The St. Louis Cardinals are a model franchise when it comes to consistency. They seem to have the innate ability to sign stars, replace legends, and infuse young talent without missing a step.

I want to start this piece with a stat. The St. Louis Cardinals had 15 players take 200+ plate appearances last year. If you don't know whether or not that's a lot. It is. The last time the Cardinals had that many players take 200+ plate appearances was...never...maybe? Actually, I don't know because it's been forever if it has happened…

Lars Nootbaar is poised to join Team Japan for the upcoming World Baseball Classic. He is of Japanese descent, but he hardly speaks the language. One teammate of his doesn't expect the language barrier to play much of a role, though. Nootbaar grew up around the team, so many players and coaches remember him.
