DETROIT -- In Tuesday’s tale of two pitchers, it was hard to choose sides. On one hand were flashes of emotion and plenty of punchouts. The other brought quiet, methodical dependability to the bump. Jack Flaherty is, of course, well-known to Cardinals fans who either grew to love or hate

April is in the books, but there’s still plenty of baseball left to be played this season, and you can follow all the action on MLB.TV for a new reduced price. MLB.TV’s All Teams Yearly package, which enables you to stream every out-of-market game, live or on demand, on your

Whenever a Draft list is updated for the first time since December, there are bound to be a lot of changes up and down the rankings. This year's new Draft Top 150 takes that to an extreme, speaking to the volatility and uncertainty of the class outside of the top

There's a longtime scout who likes to say, "The Draft is hard." The 2014 Draft was very hard. It's just one of three Drafts where the No. 1 overall pick finished his career without reaching the Majors, and the only one where neither of the top two selections made it.

NEW YORK -- The Cardinals and Mets found themselves in a pitchers’ duel on Sunday afternoon at Citi Field. It took 11 innings to settle the score as New York won the game, 4-2. It was a game in which Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol couldn’t use his top three relievers

NEW YORK -- Sonny Gray loved the efficiency of his seven-pitch second inning and his nine-pitch third inning. The Cardinals’ ace particularly liked how he rebounded mentally after a weird fifth inning that included a wild pitch, a fielding error and a home run on a fastball that was several

For Cardinals fans, there is a glimmer of hope that things might be turning around in the not-so-distant future. Sem Robberse opened the season at the Minors' highest level and has been nothing short of dominant thus far. The right-hander has yielded two runs or fewer in each of his

NEW YORK -- Informed late Friday that brother William Contreras’ home run a night earlier for the Brewers had traveled approximately three feet further than his mammoth blast against the Mets, Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras playfully offered up a caveat that Statcast likely didn’t account for with its tale of

ST. LOUIS -- Less than 24 hours after his Cardinals had been summarily routed by the D-backs, veteran right-hander Kyle Gibson allowed the first three hitters of Wednesday’s game to reach base -- two of them on pitches he absolutely hated -- and his emotions were on the verge of

ST. LOUIS -- Jordan Walker, who made the Cardinals out of Spring Training in 2023 and finished his first MLB season with a flurry, was demoted to Triple-A on Wednesday in hopes that he can address his swing issues in a lower-stakes environment. The Cardinals want the 6-foot-6, 250-pound Walker

Three years ago, Charlie Condon attracted zero interest from pro scouts or NCAA Division I baseball programs. He wound up at Georgia as a preferred walk-on and redshirted during his first season in Athens. Now he's the best prospect in the 2024 Draft and sits atop MLB Pipeline's updated and

ST. LOUIS -- After lunching at a local favorite spot on Tuesday, Jordan Montgomery rode into Busch Stadium with close friend Dylan Carlson and had to catch himself before nearly walking into the Cardinals’ clubhouse. “It’s weird being on the other side [of Busch Stadium],” Montgomery said with a laugh

ST. LOUIS -- Hit hard by a D-backs lineup that regularly feasts on left-handed pitching, Steven Matz's final line on Tuesday night read a lot like lotto numbers: 6, 7, 3, 4 and 1. Somehow, even after the D-backs beat Matz and the Cardinals 14-1 on Tuesday at Busch Stadium

ST. LOUIS -- Sure, Nolan Gorman came into Monday not only mired in a 0-for-18 skid, but one that also included a humbling 10 strikeouts in that stretch. Still, that unsightly slump did little to rattle the 23-year-old slugger's belief in his abilities to lift the Cardinals out of their

There are a kajillion reasons to love baseball -- especially Minor League Baseball. The bobblehead, which has been greeted with an enthusiastic "Yes" from baseball fans at least since MLB put out a set featuring the likes of Roberto Clemente, Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays in 1960, combines many of

ST. LOUIS -- Looking dejectedly down at the blue and silver carpet inside the Cardinals’ clubhouse at Busch Stadium, Willson Contreras shook his head and repeated the same thing over and over late Sunday afternoon. “It’s just not fair for Sonny,” the Cardinals catcher said of Sonny Gray, who struck

ST. LOUIS -- Looking for something -- anything, really -- to believe in on Saturday following another crushing loss some 15 hours earlier, the Cardinals offense finally gave tough-luck pitcher Miles Mikolas some much-needed run support and a seemingly promising two-run lead. However, in yet another twist to bedevil the
