With the long schedule coming up, I'm going to say that I'll be surprised if Andre Granillo doesn't make his debut this month. Munoz/Villade could become DFA options for 40-man spot #STLCards

How are #STLCards 2024 draft picks not named JJ Wetherholt doing? Quick recap of those guys here: redbirdrants.com/checking-in-...

On the latest episode of @redbirdrundown.bsky.social , the name Leonardo Bernal was brought up and it was tough for me to stomach. I wrote this piece about investing in the #STLCards catcher's future in February: redbirdrants.com/interesting-...

My favorite #STLCards pod let me share my thoughts! We talked ideas and rookie extension rankings Make sure they get a like and follow to keep these guys growing! @redbirdrundown.bsky.social

The #STLCards have a real shot at the NL Central this year. Rather than the expected transition year, I think they can buy and sell at the same time. I put together some names of guys that may hurt to lose but help for this year and beyond redbirdrants.com/7-expendable...

Cardinals make flurry of roster moves as Walker hits IL Jordan Walker heads to the IL with Ryan Villade heading to the Cardinals active roster. RHP Roddery Munoz was recalled to fill Gordon Graceffo's spot in the bullpen.

Jordan Walker is not expected to miss much time beyond the initial 10 days so Ryan Villade will fill a bench role. Gordon Graceffo heads to Memphis in favor of Roddery Munoz. Graceffo had yet to find his role in the #STLCards pen @i70sportsmedia.bsky.social interstate70sports.media/2025/05/31/c...

Denton reported that the #STLCards have added an extra day to their hotel stay in Baltimore and issued new keys to the players. Looks like low expectations for the game to be played today

Admittedly, I was done watching Burleson hit lazy grounders on pitches out of the zone and wanted to see what Gorman could do with a season full of at-bats. However, Burly's May surge has proved me wrong and now Gorm is out of the job #STLCards redbirdrants.com/alec-burleso...

The #STLCards went from "transition" to contenders after an amazing month of May. That's what made this past series against the Tigers so disappointing... but maybe that's a good thing? @i70sportsmedia.bsky.social interstate70sports.media/2025/05/22/c...

Cardinals “disappointing” series loss shows how expectations have changed The Cardinals have played themselves into contention with an amazing May surge against quality teams. Fan expectations have shifted towards the playoffs and the series loss against the Detroit Tigers was more disappointing…

@redbirdrundown.bsky.social ignore the completely terrible other projections but don't be saying "nobody thought Mikolas would be good" 😉 Although since I saw his Gulf of America hat, I retracted my previous like for him as a person

Although I still think another starter, reliever, and righty outfielder would be welcomed

No more questions. The #STLCards are good

#STLCards are sizzling in May and are just one game out of the division lead. Take a look at how they got to this point! Also, check out @i70sportsmedia.bsky.social new website layout and provide some feedback!

The #STLCards are 14-5 since April 22. That coincides with Contreras' move down the order and Winn's move to the two-hole interstate70sports.media/2025/05/13/h...

The quest for a 10-game winning streak will have to wait until tomorrow. Today's game has been postponed and will be made up in a split doubleheader tomorrow. I will continue to say that split doubleheaders are a scam #STLCards

The #STLCards are 14-5 since April 22. That coincides with Contreras' move down the order and Winn's move to the two-hole interstate70sports.media/2025/05/13/h...

Masyn Winn and Willson Contreras were moved to new spots in the lineup and since then, the entire Cardinals lineup has been surging.

While we all ride this #STLCards high, go spread the Cardinals love and follow these accounts @redbirdrundown.bsky.social @otlee.bsky.social @abmed.bsky.social @chriscardsfan.bsky.social @bookowl.bsky.social @c70.bsky.social @jasperlovesjazz.bsky.social @dragonlord741.bsky.social

9 in a row! #STLCards

If you woulda told me the #STLCards would be one game out of first by mid-May, I think I would have been surprised. The division is poopy again BUT I don't think the Cardinals need to buy. They have the pieces now to win this division

Don't look now but the #STLCards are one game behind the Cubs for the division lead. Stats from their current 8-game winning streak interstate70sports.media/2025/05/12/s...

The St. Louis Cardinals have won 8 games in a row. Taking a look at the stats and performances that have driven the winning streak

The #STLCards first lineup with Herrera back (vs a LHP) features Herrera at DH, Walker in right, and Pages catching. Looks like that could be a main lineup against lefties moving forward Lineup options: interstate70sports.media/2025/05/08/3...

#STLCards Two lefty starters could ease Herrera back as a DH in each of those two games with a rest day in the middle. Could be the perfect scenario for his return

The #STLCards look to win their first road series of the year as they head to D.C for a three-game series vs. the Nationals. First pitch for the series is scheduled for 5:45pm CST #ForTheLou @i70sportsmedia.bsky.social Series Preview: interstate70sports.media/2025/05/09/s...

The Cardinals are on a five-game winning streak and have won their last four series. They look to improve their 4-13 road record against a Nationals team that is four games under .500 on the year.

Ivan Herrera is expected to be activated tomorrow but will he slot back in as catcher? Primary DH? I think regardless of where he goes, Jordan Walker might be nearing the end of his promised runway #STLCards interstate70sports.media/2025/05/08/3...

Ivan Herrera is expected to return from injury tomorrow and that could mean the end of Jordan Walker's runway. Looking at three lineup options the Cardinals could run with when he returns.
