On Deck: The Cardinals So Far
Oh, hey there! Been a while, eh? Yeah, I still write for ReviewStl. You’re stuck with me for a while longer, I suppose. Don’t worry, I’ll be trying to write a little bit more than the zero I’ve done recently. But you don’t want to listen to my ramblings, eh? Me neither. You want to […]
2014 St. Louis Cardinals Preview – Third Base
Note: this is an ongoing series previewing the Cardinals. You can find catchers here, first base here, and second base here. Well, the hometown hero is gone. After putting on a post-season performance that’ll be remembered in St. Louis likely for the rest of its existence, David Freese had a terrific 2012 season, posting a […]
Cardinals 2013 Regular Season Wrap-Up: Steve Hands out Team Awards
Thank you, and welcome to the First Annual Stevo Awards! It’s an honor to be here. I even dressed up for the occasion. To commemorate the end of the season, I figured I’d give out the prestigious Stevo Awards. Matt Carpenter and Yadier Molina should receive some votes for MVP, and Shelby Miller has […]
Cardinals Clinch Post-Season Berth; Steve Tries to Explain the Tie-Breakers
Even with a loss today, the Cardinals managed to slip into the post-season. With Washington’s loss in the first game of their double-header today, the Cardinals officially clinched a post-season spot. Although the Cardinals lost tonight 6-4, they still remain two games ahead of both Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. After splitting the four-game series in Colorado, […]
Cards Sweep Bucs, Roll Brew Crew
Well well well. This was supposed to be a make-or-break stretch for the Cardinals. After struggling a bit in August, going through a stretch of 17 games against three of the top teams in baseball was envisioned by some to be the point at which the Cardinals would have to play for a wild card […]
A Whole New Ballgame: Cards, Bucs Tied for First
Hitters have slumps and hot streaks. Pitchers go through nights where they have complete command and throw shutouts; other nights, they’re fighting themselves on every pitch. The team as a whole, though, is a different animal. Putting together lengthy win streaks is great, of course, but as a whole, a team must rely on a […]
Cardinals Pull Within One Game of Pittsburgh
Well hey, don’t look now, but the Cardinals actually managed to play some solid ball this past week. Yes, I know, earlier this season, 4-2 would be par for the course, perhaps even mediocre, but with the post-season woes the team’s gone through, a 4-2 week is a welcome respite, especially coming against Pittsburgh and […]
Cardinals Rally Past Padres
He’s not exactly known for his defense. In fact, he ranks well below average according to the metrics. Still, that hasn’t stopped him from making some pretty exceptional plays when it’s counted. Known primarily as the best hitter in baseball with runners in scoring position the last two seasons, it’s easy to remember that Allen […]
Cardinals Clinch Best First-Half Record in MLB
They’re not always pretty, but damn if they don’t get the job done. One a night that went back and forth more than a girl trying to decide her outfit for the night, the Cardinals managed to crank out 21 hits en route to a 10-6 win over the Cubs. With the win, the Cardinals […]
Cardinals Sweep Marlins, Send Five to Mid-Summer Classic
“Even the Mona Lisa’s falling apart.” After a fortuitous start to the season, the Cardinals managed to hit a rough patch for a couple weeks. While the Cardinals managed to go 35-18 in the first two months, they stumbled at the end of June and lost seven of nine games, going 14-14 in June as […]
