★ Just published a new episode of Talking About Birds: A St. Louis Cardinals Podcast: Muad'Dib Winn. Listen: share.transistor.fm/s/91c559c2

The Cardinals entered today’s game against the A’s having hit 13 home runs as a team.

The Tigers (14) have homered twice today, so that leaves only the White Sox (9) with fewer home runs than the Cardinals.

Steven Matz's ERA more than doubled today after pitching against the A's...the team with the 2nd worst team OPS (.599) in all of baseball. #ForTheLou

Cardinals have scored exactly three runs in eight of their 18 games before today. Somebody better with numbers can say how statistically unlikely that is.

The Cardinals have three runs! Which, given their history this year, means they are done.

lol remember how Esteury Ruiz was in the minor leagues 72 hours ago smh

Means he’ll probably start on Wednesday in STL

This ban brought to you by DraftKings.

Perhaps even more jarring: he has seen 60 (!!!) sliders and has zero (!!!) hits against them. Only five balls in play, though one was the hard line drive in Arizona where Masyn Winn was doubled off second.

I have every expectation that the Cardinals are going to come with hands out for public money sooner than later, but the only attributions to Bill DeWitt III here are paraphrases that don’t say the team will be asking for that total.

In TCN's Wednesday pod, we look at a prospect promotion and a league Pitcher of the Week in the #STLCards system. Early stats leaders: hitters R.J. Yeager, Bryan Torres, Anyelo Encarnacion & Cesar Prieto. Pitchers covered: Alec Willis, Quinn Mathews, Tink Hence & Jose Davila.…

if anyone gets an extra lmk

Had a great chat with Kyle Gibson of the St. Louis Cardinals today! You can hear the interview Sunday night on the Gateway to Baseball Heaven Podcast.

Thank you to Cardinal70 for handing me the keys to the company car and Big League Impact for setting it up! #ForTheLou #STLCards
