Cardinals News

The St. Louis Cardinals are at a crossroads after their latest loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks, falling 4-3 in a game that highlighted their ongoing struggles. With a 6.3 runs allowed per game over the last week, pitching has been the Achilles' heel, exemplified by Matthew Liberatore’s rough outing where he surrendered six runs in one inning. Meanwhile, the franchise is undergoing a leadership shakeup, with Bill DeWitt III stepping up as CEO and ambitious goals being set amidst this turbulent season. On a positive note, young stars like Jordan Walker and JJ Wetherholt continue to shine, but even their brilliance can't mask the grim reality of a team now 42-35 and trying to regain its competitive edge. With changes afoot, fans are left wondering if these adjustments can spark a turnaround.

Liberatore Gets Rocked Again as Cardinals Lose to Diamondbacks Wednesday
You can feel for Matthew Liberatore as he attempts to figure out what’s gone wrong with his 2026 season, but the St. Louis Cardinals paid the price for another start gone wrong as Matthew’s outing fell apart in one inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks Wednesday night.

No one expected JJ Wetherholt and Jordan Walker to be two of the best players in MLB. I had a hunch Wetherholt would be good, but not THIS good. I don’t think anyone realized the level of defensive range he brought, or the poise at the plate. I sure didn’t, at least. Jordan Walker is […]
