Covering MLB with a focus on the St. Louis Cardinals and Kansas City Royals
The second half of the Major League Baseball season is still a week away, but St. Louis Cardinals rookie right-handed starting pitcher Shelby Miller is throwing as if the calendar is about to turn to September, not July.
The St. Louis Cardinals have announced that Cardinals RHP Jake Westbrook will make a rehab start for the Springfield Cardinals this Tuesday, June 4.
Each week we’ll rank the top five Royals in 2013 with a heavy emphasis on their performance in the past seven days.
This is the Adam Wainwright the St. Louis Cardinals think is worth $97.5 million for the next five years.
The St. Louis Cardinals began their World Series title defense in impressive fashion, going 14-8 in April and leading the NL Central division by three games over the Cincinnati Reds.
The Kansas City Royals today announced the club has signed first-round draft choice Kyle Zimmer, the fifth overall selection in the 2012 First-Year Player Draft. Consistent with team policy, terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
After falling behind 8-0 against the Cincinnati Reds on July 6, 2011, the Cardinals nearly pulled off a miraculous comeback. You have to go all the back to 1954 to find another game like it.
It’s been my opinion for the last couple of years that the number one most underrated pitcher in all of baseball is Jered Weaver, of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
In early May, the Cincinnati Reds would come into St. Louis, hoping to make a statement. 26 hours later, they left with their tails tucked between their legs when the Cardinals delivered a message of their own.
Don’t fret, Cardinals fans – the team has plenty of great October memories to re-live.
