Have the Cardinals changed expectations? Bernie Miklasz gives his outlook on where this team stands right now. #STLCards #Baseball #MLB

Jonathan shares why his expectations on the Cardinals has changed since the beginning of the season. #STLCards #Baseball #MLB

Scott talks about why he’s excited to see what this Cardinals team really has — and why he’d rather wait before fully investing in them just yet. #STLCards #Baseball #MLB

Five Cardinals by qualified innings have a spring speed above the major league average. VS2 is in the 98th percentile 💨 Walker is in the 92nd percentile 🤯 Each of these players adds positive value on the basepaths #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

Jacob Odle, Liam Doyle, Tanner Franklin... the list of arms in the @Cardinals system just keeps growing. 📈 Chaim Bloom's plan for the St. Louis rotation is starting to pay dividends. Who’s your favorite breakout arm? ⚾️ #STLCards #MLB #Cardinals #Baseball #Pitching

The Cardinals currently have four players on pace for 20 or more homers. Long way to go, but the last time the team achieved this feat? 2004. #stlcards #stlcardinals #cardinals

JJ WetherBOLT ⚡️ 105 mph 406 feet The opposite field power that propelled him last year! That's TWO hard hit balls tonight for JJ 👀 #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

Jimmy Crooks in the 7th spot? The "pop" is real, and the metrics don't lie. 📈 Plus, a little nostalgia for the Daniel Descalso emergency catcher days. Who else lives for that type of chaos? ⚾️ #STLCards #MLB #Cardinals #Baseball #JimmyCrooks

Jordan Walker has been a walking flame emoji minus about two weeks for the entire season. He's running very strong underlying metrics. Winn's superpower earlier in the season was his ability to walk. That has tailed off as has his hard contact. Time to turn it around against Pittsburgh! #stlcards

This is a bit of an ugly leaderboard. Although the results of the staff have been good lately, by FIP this is a group that struggles. Luckily the defense helps close some of that gap. Which of these guys do you see being in this rotation in 2028? #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

NEW EPISODE DROP Who is rising and who's falling so far down on the farm? We bring on @kyler416 for an awesome conversation involving Rainiel Rodriguez, Jacob Odle, Tai Peete, Liam Doyle and more! Also, who's up next for the big league roster?? #stlcards

At this rate is he just the NL MVP? Walker ties it up with a two run shot! 104.5 mph 405 feet He really is him. #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

Cardinals baserunning = A! ✅ Jordan Walker and Masyn Winn are leading an incredibly aggressive charge on the paths. Taking extra bases, swiping bags, and never letting the defense rest. The speed in St. Louis is looking elite! 🏃‍♂️💨 @mrplaztastic17 swipes a bag explaining why. #STLCards #MLB

JORDAN WALKER FOR THE LEAD! 105.4 mph 381 feet That ball was an inch off the plate and he muscled it for an oppo taco. Wow. #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

Something is changing with McGreevy. His strikeout rate is as high as its ever been. That would change his ceiling as a pitcher. Matt Svanson continues to struggle. After being an incredible pitcher last year, he's not keeping the ball on the ground. That's a huge issue. #stlcards #cardinals

Jordan Walker is on another planet. 📈 166 wRC+ is pure insanity. The Cardinals' top 4 is "hardcore good," but the bottom 5 is still searching for that spark. Can St. Louis maintain this offensive pace? ⚾️🔥 #STLCards #MLB #Cardinals #Baseball #STLSports

Ivan Herrera is currently second among qualified batters in OBP. The secret to the Cardinals surprising offense is in those top our OBPs. You have to wonder if switching Winn and Gorman in the lineup becomes a viable option if Gorman continues to scuffle. #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

Cardinals defense = A-? 📊 Nolan Gorman is crushing the metrics while Masyn Winn holds down shortstop. Is Alec Burleson the most underrated 1B in the league? ⚾️ @mrplaztastic is impressed so far! #STLCards #MLB #Cardinals #Baseball #STLSports

Michael McGreevy generated more movement on his changeup in his last outing - with a career high 9 Ks to show for it. Overlay of his curveball and changeup, the pitches separately, and then a super slow mo overlay. Note the difference in tempo in his delivery. Something is happening #stlcards

Grading the Cardinals Offense: A+ for the Youth? ⚾️ The early RISP struggles are in the rearview. With Jordan Walker and rookie J.J. Wetherholt posting A+ performances and Masyn Winn finding his rhythm, the Redbirds' bats are officially heating up! 🕊️ #STLCards #MLB #Cardinals #Baseball #Cardinals

Balls hit between 8 and 32 degrees have the best outcomes on average. The fact that Jordan Walker does so well here is massively encouraging. The fact that Nolan Gorman leads the team is not surprising. It's always been the contact for him. #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

NEW EPISODE DROP 40 games into the season, we dished out grades for the first quarter of the season. Who aced it, who passed, who failed? @JoeRoderick joined us to weigh in! We had a blast! #stlcards  #stlcardinals #cardinals youtu.be/dL72a1rLSq8?...

A WALKER BOMB FOR MOM! He gets a hanger and absolutely nukes it in San Diego. 108.3 mph 425 feet Moms everywhere are proud. #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

No surprise to see Jordan Walker powering his way to the top of this list. Nathan Church 👀 This is a place Nolan Gorman needs to thrive. #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

Nathan Church’s physical profile is wild. ⚾️ 85th percentile sprint speed Consistent pop at the plate Robbed a walk-off HR He’s quickly becoming one of the most exciting players to watch in the organization. 📈 #STLCards #MLB #NathanChurch

Libby pitches tonight. The values for his slider/curveball are down. But, his fastball-changeup combo have risen. Watch the difference in his body positioning on the mound as he throws his fastball and change to a righty. He falls off the mound hard with his fastball. #stlcards #cardinals

100% full sell." ⚾️ The debate is over—JJ Wetherholt is the total package. From Statcast lightning bolts to Gold Glove defense, he’s taking over the second base conversation. ⚡️ #STLCards #MLB #JJWetherholt #Baseball #Cardinals

Alec Burleson just flipped the script in Pittsburgh. ⚾️ After a tough stretch, he’s back to being one of the most trusted bats for the St. Louis Cardinals. Who else are you putting above him right now? @CardinalSTLMuse is all in! #STLCards #MLB #Baseball #AlecBurleson #StLouis

Riley O'Brien has been utterly nasty this year. Here's a slider and sinker from him. Individually and then overlaid. Watch the slight variation in leg kick in the overlays. I'm not sure how any batter hits anything in the MLB. Wow. #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

JJ (aka Luke Skywalker??) smacks a ball through the asteroid belt to get the good guys on the board! Let this Jedi be a Cardinal for life - PLEASE! #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

JJ Wetherholt is officially on "lightning bolt" watch. ⚡️ Swing speed is up, chase rate is down, and the 30-HR milestone is looking more likely by the day. #STLCards #MLB #Baseball #JJWetherholt #Statcast

If you want one single metric that's the most predictive of offensive success - it's swing speed. It shows the capcity for damage better than anything else. JJ Wetherholt's bat speed is on the rise. He's recorded some of his hardest swings this season the last two weeks. #stlcards #stlcardinals

Pretty hard to argue with the top 4 in this lineup, huh? Jose Fermin is really taking advantage of his opportunities. And he's got that dawg in him. Go look up the homerun chain. #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

An underrated strength of the offense is the ability to draw walks. Nice to see Gorman on this list being more selective than normal. #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

Andre Pallante is “clawing at the edges of a cliff.” 🧗‍♂️ His 5.19 FIP is a major concern, and Hunter Dobbins is ready for the call-up. Is it time for a rotation shakeup in St. Louis? 🎙️ #STLCards #MLB #Cardinals #Baseball #STL

That's our leadoff hitter! JJ with a 100 mph double the opposite way to get the scoring going tonight! How can you not love this kid?? #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

Who’s the most entertaining @Cardinals player in recent history? 🎙️ Adam Wainwright and Jose Martinez are the clear winners for their personality and storytelling. #STLCards #MLB #Baseball #Waino #Redbirds

Gorman gets the scoring started by hammering an inside pitch! 108.6 mph 413 feet #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

Johnny Bench said it best: MLB hitters can hit a jet engine if they time it up. ✈️ That’s why Michael McGreevy’s ability to keep hitters off balance is so intriguing for the #STLCards rotation. ⚾️ Is the "art of pitching" making a comeback? 🏟️ #MLB #MichaelMcGreevy #Cardinals

JJ TIES IT. THAT'S OUR LEADOFF HITTER. BACK TO BACK JACKS! 100.2 mph 408 feet (He's swinging harder, too. This is what he did in Memphis when he showed surprising power.) #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

"Oli Marmol is one of the smartest baseball minds I’ve ever met." ⚾️ High praise for the #STLCards skipper. Is the praise of Marmol unfair? Let’s hear your take. 🏟️ #MLB #Cardinals #OliMarmol

JJ IS HEATING UP! Another homer! Watch the little bat drop he does. Love it. 107.4 mph 375 feet He's recorded his hardest swings of the year the past few games. #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

BACK TO BACK JACKS Herrera goes back to back with JJ 108.5 mph 429 feet #stlcards #stlcardinals #cardinals The discord is going crazy - feel free to hop in! discord.gg/5Tw7nM6pc

JJ didn't work this count! He jumps on the second pitch of the game for a leadoff Wetherbomb! 108.7 mph 397 feet #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

Ducksnort (n.) - A 70.7 mph flair that ties the game against the Mariners from Masyn Winn! Two runs score! #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

Jordan Walker’s defensive growth is the story nobody is talking about enough. 📈 Improved speed, better reads, and an absolute laser for an arm. He’s playing with zero hesitation now. St. Louis has a complete player on their hands. ⚾️💎 #STLCards #STLCards #MLB #JordanWalker #Baseball #Defense

Jordan Walker is proving that the biggest jump happens between the ears. 🧠 He’s opening up about the mental game and the confidence shift that fueled his 2026 breakout. This is the mindset of a superstar in the making. ⚾️✨ #STLCards #MLB #JordanWalker #Baseball #Mindset

Nathan Church was touted as the best defender in the organization, but the LF transition is proving difficult. 📉 Is he offensively overmatched? #STLCards ⚾️ #STLCards #MLB #Baseball #NathanChurch #SportsTalk

St. Louis’ left field issues are glaring. 📉 5th worst WRC+ and OPS in the league. Without Nootbaar, the revolving door in LF is hurting this lineup. ⚾️ #STLCards #MLB #Baseball #Cardinals #Sports

The Marlins scored on this play so it wasn't all fun, but Walker HOSED a guy at third base - that was certainly fun! He's transformed on defense, too. What an incredibly strong start to the season for him. Wow. #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals
