On Thursday, it was announced that New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge captured the American League MVP Award. The National League MVP Award went to St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt. Each hitter had an incredible season, especially offensively. Judge earned 28 of the 30 first place votes with Shohei Ohtani receiving the final […]

St. Louis Cardinals star Paul Goldschmidt wins the National League (NL) MVP award, taking the honor for the first time after a brilliant season this 2022. Goldschmidt beat his teammate Nolan Arenado for the award, as well as San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado. It’s a well-deserved victory, though, after the 35-year-old led the […]

The St. Louis Cardinals have been one of the best teams in the MLB for so long, having finished under .500 only once this century. This is thanks in no small part to Cardinals legends Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina, who have led the team to two World Series triumphs in 2006 and 2011. With […]

Not long ago, the St. Louis Cardinals found themselves in a tight race with the Milwaukee Brewers for the NL Central title. The Brewers had tremendous pitching and former MVP Christian Yelich, but the Cardinals separated themselves from Milwaukee after the All-Star break. St. Louis holds a sizable eight-game lead with less than 20 contests […]

The end of the 2022 MLB season is nearly upon us. And as the season begins to wind down, the awards races throughout the league are beginning to heat up. One race that has gotten quite interesting is the NL MVP race, with Paul Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado, and Mookie Betts all fighting it out for […]

Paul Goldschmidt is looking to achieve something more than just his first MVP in the 2022 season. The St. Louis Cardinals first baseman is in the midst of his best ever season.

Entering the bottom of the ninth leading by four runs, the Washington Nationals (and the rest of the MLB for that matter) can smell the sweet scent of victory. All Nationals relief pitcher Kyle Finnegan must do is get three outs, but facing the heart of the St. Louis Cardinals’ batting order led by Nolan […]

The season began with the St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers in a tight-knit for the top spot in the NL Central. The pitching of the Brewers is excellent, but the Cardinals have a commendable combination of veterans and youngsters that is the main reason for their 7.5-game cushion with a month left in the […]

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is having a phenomenal season. The 34-year-old is making a case to be the National League MVP. Nolan Arenado made the case for his teammate with a very hot take. After previously calling Paul Goldschmidt the best player he has ever played with and the smartest player he has […]

It’s crazy to think that St. Louis Cardinals legend Albert Pujols is 42 years old and still smacking home runs at the MLB level. His teammates can’t believe it, either. Paul Goldschmidt was asked on Friday night by Bob Nightengale if he could ever play as long as Pujols has. His answer? Pretty cut and […]

The St. Louis Cardinals are currently three games back of the first-place Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Central.

The St. Louis Cardinals are not having a fun start to their schedule in the second half of the 2022 MLB regular season, having lost two of their last three games. And now then will be headed to Canada to face the Toronto Blue Jays, but without two of their best players in and Paul […]

When the St. Louis Cardinals visit Canada to play the Toronto Blue Jays, they won’t be with two of their leaders: Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado. As reported earlier, the two cannot join the team because of Canada’s vaccination rules. They chose not to get the COVID-19 vaccine due to personal reasons. Sure enough, fans […]

The St. Louis Cardinals are entering a critical juncture in their campaign. They currently trail the NL Central leaders Milwaukee Brewers by just 2.5 games. If the team wants a guaranteed slot in the playoffs, they will need to overtake their division rivals and avoid the mess that is the Wild Card race. Unfortunately, their […]

St. Louis Cardinals stars Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado are the latest players who are rendered unable to travel to Canada due to their stance against the Covid-19-vaccine. The two stars, as well as catcher Austin Romine, will be unable to face the Toronto Blue Jays due to the vaccine mandate. When asked about his […]

The St. Louis Cardinals are right in the thick of the divisional race with the Milwaukee Brewers. They’ll have to overcome a significant handicap to keep pace in their upcoming contests against the Toronto Blue Jays with stars Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt expected to miss the two-game series due to vaccination rules. The absence […]

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is enjoying quite the 2022 season.

But Goldschmidt added another accomplishment to his magical season on Saturday. In the Cardinals’ game against the Reds, Paul […]

He is a seven time All-Star, four time Golden Glove Award winner, four time Silver Slugger, and one time NL Hank Aaron Award recipient. For this piece, let’s take a closer look […]

Paul Goldschmidt is putting together another MVP-worthy season. At 34 years old, the St. Louis Cardinals first baseman has been on a tear, sitting at or near the top of the National League in the major batting categories. While he is indeed one of the best baseball players today, there’s no question that his partner […]

The St. Louis Cardinals played a doubleheader on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Paul Goldschmidt is mashing. Like, really mashing. The St. Louis Cardinals first baseman extended his hitting streak to 25 games as he received the NL Player of the Month Award. He is playing himself well into the MVP conversation so far this season. After Goldschmidt went yard in a 14-5 win against the Chicago Cubs […]

Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt make up a star-studded corner infield duo for the St. Louis Cardinals. Arenado is one of the best third baseman in MLB, while the same can be attributed to Goldschmidt over at first base. Arenado had some extremely high praise for Goldschmidt following his clutch walk-off grand slam against the […]

The St. Louis Cardinals have two of the best infielders in the game in first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and third baseman Nolan Arenado. But even those two stars hold deference for Albert Pujols.

The St. Louis Cardinals are one of the most storied franchises in MLB history. With 11 World Series titles to their name, the Cardinals have been a model of consistency over their 130-year history.   The Cardinals enter the 2022 season looking to build upon three consecutive playoff appearances. They will look to challenge the […]

Albert Pujols wants to finish his Hall of Fame career with the St. Louis Cardinals. Unfortunately for The Machine, that dream reunion is unlikely to come to fruition. Pujols was designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Angeles on Thursday — two months into the final season of a 10-year contract. The 41-year old will […]

Throughout the course of the 2019 MLB season, the American League and the National League proved to be two very different entities. While the AL boasted some of the best records in baseball, the league was also extremely top-heavy. The NL, on the other hand, had far more parity from start to finish. Numerous teams […]

The Atlanta Braves and St. Louis Cardinals may have been two of the more overlooked teams in the National League during Spring Training. While most writers and fans were focused on the plethora of trades and signings–ahem, Bryce Harper–made by the Philadelphia Phillies in the NL East and ability for the Chicago Cubs to bounce […]

CLUTCH SUMMARY: Having had one of the most consistent seasons in the National League Central, the St. Louis Cardinals have the pieces in place to win the division. Even with not making any big additions at the trade deadline, this team is built for the playoffs already. The keys to getting to the playoffs, then […]

Currently positioned at the third-best team in the National League Central division as the end of June grows closer and closer, the St. Louis Cardinals are keeping their postseason chances close enough to still see for now – but not close enough to actually grasp. Having just found out that their fireballer closer Jordan Hicks […]

Four out of the five teams that are a part of the National League Central are currently over .500 entering play on May 9th (sorry Cincinnati), and all five teams are competitive to open the season too, so the NL Central division is shaping up to be a doozy in 2019. While this was a […]

Even only being one full month into the MLB season, there are teams that are already hitting the eject button on the 2019 season and looking forward to 2020. Teams that have a longer-term plan for how to bring their franchise back from many seasons of missing their goals still do not see 2019 as […]

In 2018, the National League Central division had its fair share of tough battles down the road, as the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs battled back and forth for the right to win the divisional crown. With 162 games not being enough, a tiebreaker was needed to solve the tie. The Brewers, after going down […]

With the constant stream of money being funneled to players recently in the MLB, big-time contracts are being handed out to any players who have been on the level of what a superstar is.

Deal will be for at least five years and at […]

For eight seasons, Paul Goldschmidt was like a gunslinger stranded in the desert. Despite being one of the best players in the game and ranking fourth in total fWAR from 2012-18, Goldschmidt was one of the lone bright spots on an Arizona Diamondbacks team that made the playoffs just once during his tenure. Goldy was […]

The St. Louis Cardinals were one of the most polarizing teams in baseball last season. After a 47-46 start, manager Mike Matheny was fired and replaced by bench coach Mike Shildt. The Cardinals would go 6-7 in Shildt’s first 13 games as interim manager before getting red-hot in August, finishing with a 22-6 record in […]
