CARDINALS RUMORS & GOSSIP
Cardinals rumors: Could Carlos Beltran return?
Entering the 2013 campaign, it’s been largely assumed that
this would be the final season outfielder Carlos Beltran will spend with the
St. Louis Cardinals. However, Bernie Miklasz of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch
doesn’t believe this is as automatic as some assume, as he thinks there is the
potential for Beltran to return with the Cardinals next season.
There are a...
Where would Cardinals be without their rookie pitchers?
Beset by injuries, the Cardinals have had to turn to the farm system early and often this year.
Normally, when you're dealing with young and unproven players, the results are at best mixed. However, so far the Cardinals rookies have come through. The latest example being Tyler Lyons, who started for the Cardinals last night and hurled 7 innings while allowing only 1 run...
Tyler Lyons, Andy Rincon and Dizzy Dean
”I pitched well, I got a hit and we won the ballgame. It doesn’t get much better than that,” said excited new St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Tyler Lyons on Wednesday night.
In his first Major League game, the 24-year-old left-hander limited the San Diego Padres to one run and four hits over seven innings. Lyons also contributed a single in the top of the sixth inning as part...
Stl Cardinals Garcia may never be the same after surgery
The Stl Cardinals have lost pitcher Jaime Garcia for the season because of a torn labrum in his left shoulder. The injury will require surgery and cost him the rest of 2013.
The lefty starter originally felt pain in his shoulder during a start in the 2012 National League Divisional Series against the Washington Nationals. He pitched two innings before being pulled from the start...
Cardinals' David Freese sits for third-straight game
If injuries are any indication of a team's ability to win, the St. Louis Cardinals should be in the basement of the National League Central. Instead, they are banging out the best record in baseball with four starting pitchers on the DL and more injuries continuing to pile up. David Freese, one of the main pieces of the team's offense sat out last night for the third...

Bad news for Cardinals pitchers Jaime Garcia, Jake Westbrook and Fernando Salas.
It was another rough couple days for Cardinals pitching. First, according to Jennifer Langosch, Jake Westbook had to cut his bullpen session short today after 20 pitches due to experiencing more discomfort in his elbow. Its unclear as to how long this will set him back or what the next step will be. What is clear is that Cardinals fans everywhere will be increasing their calls...
St. Louis Cardinals: Can Tyler Lyons keep up with the rest of the Cards rotation?
What a difference seven weeks has made. Out of spring training, the St. Louis Cardinals had a solid pitching staff that was exciting to watch. What fans couldn't have known at that time was how impressive of a performance they were about to put up. Arguably that performance peaked when Shelby Miller and Adam Wainwright posted back to back shutouts - with one hit and two hits...
St. Louis Cardinals: Jake Westbrook suffers setback
After learning that Jaime Garcia was going to be out for the remainder of the season after he undergoes shoulder surgery later this week, the St. Louis Cardinals were hoping for some good news from their other starter who is on the disabled list, Jake Westbrook.
Westbrook, who is 2-1 with a 1.62 ERA in six starts this season, has been on the disabled list since May 9 with scar...
Cardinals On The Cover Of Sports Illustrated
The Cardinals have lost Jamie Garcia for the season. They're in the process of losing Jake Westbrook for way longer than the '2 starts' that we were told. And Shelby Miller can't be trusted to work out of his own jams.
None of this was going on 2 weeks ago. So what the...?
Wait, what's that? Sports Illustrated sent someone to cover the Cardinals historically...

2013 St. Louis Cardinals are very good, but could be great
The St. Louis Cardinals jumped out to a 28-16 record through roughly the first quarter of the regular season, and while that is the best record in the National League, the team still has noticeable room for improvement.
The roster started to round into form nicely in early May as the hitters such as centerfielder Jon Jay and third baseman David Freese improved their swings, and...
Should we be concerned about Mike Matheny's overuse of Trevor Rosenthal?
After a bumpy start to the season, Trevor Rosenthal has settled into his setup role nicely. Since April 24th, he has allowed only 1 unearned run in 9.2 IP. He has seen his ERA drop from a high of 5.00 on April 17th to the current low of 2.42. However, despite his run of success, there is one thing that concerns me, Mike Matheny has been using Rosenthal A LOT. Rosenthal has...
Is Mujica Playing His Way Out of St. Louis?
The early season tailspin of the Cardinals season was due much in part the inability to close games out late. The struggles extended when the search to find the right arm to fill in to the final frame role. Yet, when Edward Mujica took the ball to close out for the first time on April 18 in Philadelphia, everything changed, because Mujica’s performance didn’t. He converted that...
Who should start for St. Louis in Garcia’s spot?
With Jaime Garcia’s shoulder pushing him onto the disabled list, the St. Louis Cardinals do not have a starting pitcher for their series finale in San Diego on Wednesday night, May 22.
With its top-ranked farm system strongest in pitching in and close to the majors, the problem is located in the organization’s most optimal area to try to address. While there are various options...
