The St. Louis Cardinals are set to bring manager Oliver Marmol back for the 2026 season. The Cardinals have not reached the postseason since 2022 — which happened to be Marmol’s first year as the team’s manager. From 2023-2025, St. Louis has only finished with a winning record once. In 2025, the Cardinals earned only […]

The St. Louis Cardinals are coming off another nail-biting season where they fell short of the postseason. Outside of a few areas, nothing really stood out from the 2025 team. Over the course of 162 games, every team will find ways to grind out wins. The Cardinals were able to do that without a true […]

The St. Louis Cardinals were considered to be a consistent contending ball club not that long ago. The past few years have not gone according to plan in St. Louis, however, as the Cardinals have not reached the postseason since 2022. Following another difficult season in 2025, the Cardinals may be considering a rebuild. Regardless […]

Ending the season on a four-game losing streak, it’s clear that the 2025 campaign was a disappointment for the St. Louis Cardinals. A 78-84 record won’t cut it under the Gateway Arch. For a team that’s one of the most successful franchises in MLB history, it’s clear that the Cardinals have a lot of work […]

The St. Louis Cardinals have missed the playoffs for a third straight season. Regardless, the team has decided not to make a change in the manager. According to Katie Woo of The Athletic, Marmol will return as the manager in 2026. Marmol’s status has long been in question due to major front office changes for […]

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Willson Contreras had a lot on his mind when asked about the possibility of a trade after the team was eliminated from postseason contention.

The St. Louis Cardinals watched starter Sonny Gray pitch six innings of two-run baseball, striking out seven in the process on Wednesday. However, it wasn’t enough, as the Cardinals still fell to the San Francisco Giants 4-3. The loss hurts St. Louis more than just wasting a solid Gray start. But now 78-81 on the […]

It is a good thing for the St. Louis Cardinals that they still have right-hander Sonny Gray. On Wednesday, he came through in a big way and managed to etch his place among other St. Louis greats, per Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Gray joins the likes of the great Bob Gibson as […]

The St. Louis Cardinals’ chances of earning a National League Wild Card spot remain slim. St. Louis sits 3.5 games out of an NL Wild Card spot with only four games remaining this season. However, their 9-8 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday kept their playoff hopes alive. Star third baseman Nolan Arenado […]

John Mozeliak’s office at Busch Stadium looks like a museum of baseball history — binders, books, paintings, and mementos stacked neatly, reminders of nearly three decades with the St. Louis Cardinals. But soon, he’ll have to pack it all up. On Sept. 21, when the Cardinals hosted the Milwaukee Brewers in their home finale, Mozeliak […]

The St Louis Cardinals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-1 on Sunday, improving to 76-80 on the season. While the playoffs are a far cry, the Redbirds can cross the .500 threshold with a great final week.

The St. Louis Cardinals’ season has been a tale of two halves. Before the All-Star break, Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol had his team in position to shock people.

When it comes to St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Willson Contreras, his injury woes continue to worsen.

Additionally, INF José Fermín has been […]

The Cincinnati Reds are fighting for their postseason lives, but Tuesday night’s 3-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals exposed ongoing issues with the Cincinnati offense.

The St. Louis Cardinals are finishing up another subpar season, where they have failed to live up to their expectations. The Cardinals contain a talented roster with proven veteran hitters and pitchers; however, they cannot put any of it together to form a winning ball club. The Cardinals’ last playoff series win came in 2019 […]

The St. Louis Cardinals are heading toward the end of another difficult season. At 73-78, the ball club is currently in fourth place in the National League Central.

But the Brewers battled back for the […]

Saturday was a night that captured everything about this Milwaukee Brewers team. Hours after clinching the first playoff berth of the 2025 MLB season courtesy of the Mets’ 3-2 loss to Texas, the Brewers showed why they’ve earned the league’s best record. Trailing the St. Louis Cardinals 6-1, they clawed their way back, tied the […]

The Milwaukee Brewers bounced back from being swept by the Texas Rangers to win the series opener against the St. Louis Cardinals. On Saturday, Milwaukee sent Jacob Misiorowski to the mound.

Winn was hoping to play in front of home […]

On Friday, the St. Louis Cardinals begin a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers.

The St. Louis Cardinals may not be officially eliminated from the playoff race yet, but they may as well be; they are 4.5 games behind the New York Mets for the third and final NL Wild Card spot with four teams ahead of them in the standings. Their 5-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners on […]

The St. Louis Cardinals made a roster move Monday that felt more like formality than surprise.

They opened Friday night in St. Louis with Rafael Devers launching Michael McGreevy’s sixth pitch 416 feet to right-center and Willy Adames following with a 401-foot shot to left-center. The back-to-back jolts extended San Francisco’s home run streak […]

The St. Louis Cardinals are still technically alive in the playoff race. However, it does not look promising. When the Cardinals traded Ryan Helsley to the New York Mets, many presumed they were selling. The Cardinals’ free-agency period might be a curious case. That is because they are a medium-market team that is cautious with […]

The St. Louis Cardinals made concerning franchise history during their series finale against the Athletics on Sunday.

The St Louis Cardinals are on the outskirts of the National League Wild Card race as September begins.

Cardinals infielder […]

The St. Louis Cardinals have been painfully mid in 2025, that much is clear especially after they suffered an 8-3 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night. Their record on the season following that loss is 65-68, and their gradual descent into stagnant mediocrity has been very painful to watch — with Cardinals fans […]

The St Louis Cardinals beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-6 on an Alex Burelson walk-off homer on Monday night.
