Color me puzzled. Allen Craig was hitting .051 and doesn’t really have a position. I get it. Not necessarily for Aaron Miles, but that’s not terribly shocking on a Tony La Russa run ballclub. Tyler Greene and Joe Mather have struggled at the plate, it makes sense that their status on the club might be […]

Cards versus Cubs at Wrigley Field – does it get much better than that? Well, assuming a Cardinal victory anyway… The United Cardinal Bloggers again undertake our progressive game blog, and you can find the previous and following innings here. I’m covering the fourth inning today, and here we go with the heart of the […]

For the sake of his pitching success, Chris Carpenter needs to chill out… To wit- 09.18.2005 – 4 innings pitched, 4 earned runs 10.07.2009 – 5 innings pitched, 4 earned runs 04.21.2010 – 7 innings pitched, 3 earned runs 05.13.2010 – 8 innings pitched, 4 earned runs Carp is a fierce competitor, no doubt, but […]

There is still a certain amount of consternation amongst Cardinal fans regarding Jon Jay’s uniform number and whether or not a player of his stature, or ANY player for that matter, should be wearing the number made beloved by former Cards center fielder Jim Edmonds. B.J. Rains at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat put together a […]

Looking at current Yahoo rankings, I decided to look at whether or not Cardinal hitters would be over or under this ranking at season’s end. This does not include today’s game. Player: Yadier Molina Current Rank: 191 Outlook: Molina has appeared in 28 of 31 games and started in 27 of those games. He is […]

This year’s Cardinal team has struggled mightily putting the ball in play with runners in scoring position. I’ll allow the numbers to speak for themselves (and note that these numbers are PRE-Thursday’s game): Split G PA AB R HR RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS BAbip RISP 28 310 252 100 12 92 45 […]

Well, the game wasn’t really the story last night, was it? It’s still difficult for me to determine exactly when, by watching the various videos of the incident, the young man was tasered, but the lead photo at Deadspin makes it clear that it actually happened. Wonder if a person that would run onto the […]

Time to play catch up with all of the random things flailing about in my brain over the weekend and this morning: Batting in the ninth slot agrees with Brendan Ryan. He’s got 5 hits in 16 at-bats and 2 walks since Tony La Russa has gone back to the well with the pitcher-eighth lineup. […]

[Ed. note – As someone who admittedly knows very little about succeeding in Fantasy Baseball (just check the PH8 league standings), I reached out to a PH8 reader and fellow blogger to try and add some value to our site re: fantasy updates and opinion – Mark graciously accepted and will be contributing to the […]

Honk, Honk, Honk, Honk, Honk, Honk, Honk One for each magnificent inning pitched by PH8-adopted starting pitcher Jaime Garcia. Jaime was brilliant again last night, striking out five while only walking one and allowing four hits over seven strong innings. His pitch count got up into triple digits (102), which mildly concerns me, and should […]
