Within the span of only a few hours, the Cardinals demoted two of their top prospects from the past decade, sending in separate moves their top left-handed slugging prospect and one of the top right-handed hitting prospects in all of the minors. What gives and what does it mean for the Cardinals ongoing, completely confounding "riddle" when it come…

The Milwaukee Brewers are in town, leading the fading Cardinals by 11 games in the NL Central. Nothing new. Despite being at a tremendous disadvantage in revenue and payroll, the small-market Brewers continue to dominate DeWitt's wealthier franchise. Why does Mr. DeWitt put up with this? Why has he tolerated so many front-office mistakes in spendin…

There's been some criticism of the no-shows at Busch Stadium. It's nonsense. It's unfair. It's ridiculous. As the DeWitts have said, the Cardinals couldn't have gone on a long run of high-level sustained success without the generous, consistent financial support of the franchise. The DeWitts depicted this as a partnership: if the fans do their part…

I'm excited about the start of the 2024 college football season, and Mizzou gets underway tonight (8--29) with a home game vs. Murray State. The expectations are huge for The Tigers after their 11-win campaign in 2023. And now with the playoff expanded to 12 teams, Mizzou has a good chance to be among the dozen teams that can compete for a national…

Via Derrick Goold, the outstanding baseball writer at STLToday, it appears that Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak will fulfill the final year of his contract in 2025 -- and that ownership will "welcome him" to return and finish that contract. This could be a huge fan-relations blunder for the Cardinals. Mozeliak has been runn…

When Bill DeWitt Jr. purchased the St. Louis Cardinals before the 1996 season, the franchise was in decline. Diminishing crowds, a shortage of stars, mediocre results, and no postseason appearances since 1987. It was a bad time, but DeWitt aggressively revived the franchise and led the Cardinals to a long and distinguished run of success loaded wit…

Cardinals president of baseball operations John Mozeliak abruptly fired manager Mike Shildt soon after the 2021 season. The two had an ongoing dispute about the direction of the team. Shildt pushed too hard, and Mozeliak sacked him. And now here comes Shildt, back in St. Louis with his San Diego Padres for a four-game series with the Cardinals. The…

The Cardinals had a 4-2 week but lost Willson Contreras again, which bodes very poorly for the next month. What happens if the Cardinals bottom out? Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch also contrast the Cardinals and the Padres, and discuss if Mike Shildt is better off having left St. Louis entirely. Music as always by the great The Sundogs.

The St. Louis are struggling to fully develop young hitting prospects and do everything that's necessary to help them maximize their full potential. Too many young batsmen have stalled, the latest being Jordan Walker and Nolan Gorman. Lars Nootbaar hasn't developed into the player the Cardinals thought he would be; "Noot" has taken a step back. And…

Record-low crowds at Busch Stadium for home games in a season that wasn't impacted by the Covid pandemic. The new Busch Stadium has been open since 2006, and it is stunning to see so many empty seats. But is it really stunning? No, it shouldn't be. From ownership on down, the St. Louis Cardinals have lost the trust, the respect and the support of a…

Dylan Carlson, Jordan Walker, Nolan Gorman, on and on it goes. The St. Louis Cardinals actually did the smart thing and the right thing by sending Gorman down to Triple A Memphis on Wednesday. But they waited too long -- much too long -- before intervening. Gorman's hitting only got worse over time, and he fell deeper into an extreme slump that las…

The St. Louis Cardinals are messing with Jordan Walker in a way that could lead to yet another failure of a young and talented hitter who is so vital to the present and future. The mishandling of Walker is incomprehensibly bad, and the Cardinals are losing more credibility by the hour. (And there wasn't much left.) Also, late in the video: why the …

Egads, it got really bad. The Cardinals are in big trouble, and Bernie Miklasz and Will Leitch try to figure what, if anything, can be done. They also go long on fanbase psychology, and what it means to be a Cardinals fan right now. Music as always by the great The Sundogs.

We already knew that the Cardinals have struggled to draft and develop premium starting pitching, which explains why they have cobble a rotation together. But the bottom-line results are just as bad in the organization's failure to draft and develop All-Star caliber talent offensively -- with too many young and talented hitters sputtering and not l…
