Investment Startups: Matthew Liberature, Zack Thompson Bring New-Look, Left-Left Combo To Cardinals Pitching Revival

Manager Mike Shildt insisted, at least twice, it wasn’t preplanned on the first day of live batting practice to have the final pitcher on the mound be Matthew Liberatore, the Cardinals’ prized prospect acquisition in a trade one rival official called “potentially a coup.”

I Think The Cardinals Should: Give Up On Alex Reyes?

I’m introducing a new series here on Viva El Birdos that will tackle frequently mentioned topics around the Cardinals. As I scour the internet, searching for any content that will fill the dark night of the soul that is the baseball offseason, I frequently hear fans saying “I think the Cardinals should…” The statements that follow vary from well-informed and reasoned arguments to passionately defended but completely irrational hot takes. This space welcomes both types! I’ll even try to argue both sides. Then you all, the brilliant and beautiful Birdos, will all get the chance to tell me just how wrong I am. Should be fun!

Sandy Alcantara Shuts Out Royals In Dominant Performance

Of all their young starters, Sandy Alcantara has been the Marlins’ most consistent over the course of the entire season. On Sunday afternoon, the 24-year-old right-hander took another big step forward, and this time found himself back in the win column.

Chris Duncan’s tragic fate was inevitable despite his excruciatingly fierce efforts to survive an invasive attack of brain cancer. But the news of Dunc’s death was stunning, numbing and heartbreaking.

Michael Wacha's Future

Yesterday the Cardinals won their fifth straight game. They came against the Pirates and Royals, so they should have handled those teams and they did. Both teams have a combined -190 run differential after all (which sadly is better than the Tigers and Orioles who are at a combined -475 and yes you read that right). But here’s the thing: just because you should beat those teams doesn’t mean it will happen. Both teams do have a greater than 0% winning percentage after all.
