Jason Motte
Just watch 1 Lance Lynn start, and you’ll notice that everything works off his four-seam fastball. That’s the one that he threw 65 times last night for 38 strikes which translates to about a 58.46% strike rate. Considering the fact that Lynn only threw 91 pitches, you might wonder why the Diamondbacks weren’t looking for […]
Sure, I imagine most Cardinal fans want the team to win just about every game they watch. Heck, they may want them to win every single game they watch. If you expect either to happen, then you are indeed a fool, and a fool and the team’s bandwagon are soon parted. Games like the one […]
Get used to that combination, in that order, Cards fans. Something tells me we may see plenty of wins from it this season. Remember when Mitchell Boggs said at the Winter Warm-Up that he “could compete with anybody” and expected himself to be “really good”? I do, and I think Mike Matheny was listening too. […]

I make no claim regarding my ability to hit a Justin Verlander or a Jason Motte fastball, and I have no illusions about my ability to manage a major league game. I have a face for radio and a voice for the shower. I am simply a fan who writes about baseball so that our […]
No, it isn’t THAT kind of fantasy. It’s “fantasy baseball”, and it might be the only time that most Cardinal fans worry about a player’s “bulging…….disc” or a player “experiencing stiffness” during spring training. Sure, a lot of fans are concerned about Allen Craig‘s post-surgical rehab work, but only a fantasy baseball nut would […]
Up until last Sept. 28, when the Cardinals won in Houston and the Braves lost in Atlanta and the National League wildcard spot completed its logic-defying defection to St. Louis, May 1, 2011, would have been as good a day as any with which to sum up the Redbirds’ season. It was a day that […]

There is no questioning the results thus far. Cardinals’ GM John Mozeliak has built a good track record during his time with the team. Is there a method to his madness? Maybe. He may not have a printed set of blueprints for building a team, but he certainly seems to have an idea of […]

Jason Motte doesn’t expect much to change for the St. Louis Cardinals, despite the turnover in the coaching ranks. “Doesn’t change what we do. It doesn’t change how I go out there and pitch. I’m not going out there cause Tony’s not in the dugout, I’m not going ‘aw man, I can’t go get these […]

I have seen this film, and it is magnificent. Dennis watched the film. Shockingly, he loved it. Remember the goosebumps you had watching the Cards in the World Series when it was going on live? Experience them again, watching highlights of the Cardinals’ 2011 season, culminating with an in-depth look at the World Series, complete […]
