The St. Louis Cardinals’ frustrating 2023 season has led some people around the league to wonder whether or not they will sell ahead of the trade deadline.

St. Louis Cardinals Nolan Arenado third baseman didn’t dance around the issue after the team’s latest devastating loss. After losing to the San Franciso Giants and falling to 27-42 in 2023, the Cardinals simply are not a good baseball team. It’s a reality that Arenado seemingly can’t ignore. The Cardinals couldn’t hold onto a 5-3 […]

Roughly a third of a way through the MLB season, the St. Louis Cardinals are in an interesting position. They had one of their worst starts in franchise history, going 10-24 through 34 games.

St. Louis Cardinals star third baseman Nolan Arenado can’t stop hitting home runs all of a sudden. After making just a total of two home runs in the entire month of April, Nolan Arenado now has a total of six homers in May alone, thanks in large part to his ongoing HR streak. Arenado extended […]

Nolan Arenado and the St. Louis Cardinals have struggled in 2023. Arenado, an MVP finalist in 2022, has shockingly stumbled out of the gates for St. Louis. The Cardinals, however, are fresh off a sweep over the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. Arenado led the charge during the series, seemingly heating up. The Cardinals’ […]

An abysmal start has a way of putting a damper on any subsequent success. A sprinter who clips the first hurdle will struggle to make up time. A student who rallies late in the semester after skipping class all year may still not graduate. And a baseball team who sleepwalks through the first month-plus of […]

Nolan Arenado is generally regarded as one of, if not the best third baseman in all of baseball. In 2023, however, that hasn’t been the case from an offensive standpoint. The St. Louis Cardinals’ star is hitting just .236/.291/.317 with a .608 OPS and only two home runs. His underperformance has unquestionably been a major […]

The St. Louis Cardinals will be heading into a brand new era in 2023 without Yadier Molina behind the plate.

With a roster that’s packed with no shortage of talent, the Cardinals will […]

For grumps and cranks, the World Baseball Classic is a silly, dangerous distraction from the actual important games, like a mid-April series against the Cincinnati Reds. To the players and fans, though, these games have been a revelation, a reminder of how fun and vital baseball can be. While the World Baseball Classic has been […]

The World Baseball Classic is always an interesting time for MLB fans. Many players who usually face off against each other find themselves on the same side as their rivals.

In the end, the nine-time All-Star decided against hitting free agency, electing […]

Cardinals fans and non-Cardinals fans tend to agree that he’s one of the best third baseman in all of baseball alongside Manny Machado and Jose Ramirez.

It’s rare for a player in any professional sport to be fully content with one’s own performance, the team’s performance, the money one’s making, and the overall living situation that comes with playing for a particular franchise. Thus, when one stumbles upon this rare situation, one must grab ahold of it and not let go. […]

Fighting […]

The St. Louis Cardinals entered the ninth inning of Game 1 of the NL Wild Card Series with a 2-0 lead over the Philadelphia Phillies. Somehow, the team lost that game on Friday night 6-3. It’s hard to point to one specific reason for why the Cardinals imploded in the ninth. And it doesn’t seem […]

St. Louis Cardinals star Nolan Arenado has had the privilege of playing next to Albert Pujols for the legend’s final MLB season. And on Friday night, that greatness was on display.

Not long ago, the St. Louis Cardinals found themselves in a tight race with the Milwaukee Brewers for the NL Central title.

Nolan Arenado was on the West coast with the Colorado Rockies for eight seasons, but he has moved to the St. Louis Cardinals over the last two seasons. It has been no surprise that Arenado has been an All-Star in both seasons so far with the Cardinals, but it is the winning culture that has […]

The season began with the St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers in a tight-knit for the top spot in the NL Central.

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.

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