Who were those masked men last night? What got into the Cardinal bats? More importantly, will Tony actually stick with the lineup for a second day to try and keep the spark going? [Ed. note - A: No. Rasmus will sit today versus a left-handed starter, Andrew Miller. Lots of right-handed hitters in there today.] [...]

Not on Twitter yet? Well, you should probably sign up. For one, you can follow @PitchersHit8th to get our updates live 24/7. (And doesn’t *that* sound exciting?!?!) Beyond that, you can keep tabs on what folks across baseball are saying about the Cardinals’ new draft pick, Shelby Miller.
With the 19th selection of the 2009 Major League Baseball First Year Player Draft, the St. Louis Cardinals have selected right-handed pitcher Shelby Miller, from Brownwood High School in Brownwood, TX. ‘Round here we know better than to step on the toes of the fine folks over at Future Redbirds, who have far more knowledge [...]

[Ed. note - I started putting this together before any accumulated statistics in tonight's game against the Marlins.] Cardinals are 28-5 when they hold the opposition to four runs or less. Sadly, four of those five losses have come since May 16. Cardinals are 20-4 when scoring five or more runs. Only ten of those [...]
Chris Carpenter’s fine outing against the Cincinnati Reds last night had me wondering: The Cardinals’ starting pitching staff has been phenominal (with a few hiccups) in the last month or so, but are they clearly distancing themselves from the rest of the league in that regard? Well, classic metrics tell us it is so. The [...]

Since the Cardinals took the night off last night (trust me, they did, it was an off-day at Busch III), we at PH8 regret to inform you that as a result you will be subjected to … *** SHAMELESS PLUG THURSDAY *** We’re happy, nay, ecstatic to have you reading along here on the home [...]

Kyle Lohse left tonight’s game with further “discomfort” in his pitching elbow, likely (hopefully) stemming from the pitch that hit him in that right elbow a week-and-a-half or so back. Lohse’s lingering injury means Joel Pineiro is going to be counted on to make his next start as he claims he can. Brad Thompson will [...]
Well, judging by the title, this should be a fun exercise, no? Good thing: Colby Rasmus going three-for-four with a home run, double, single, a run scored and one batted in. Bad thing: Dan and Al going on incessantly about how Rasmus “only needs a triple for the cycle” following the single to put him [...]
