I gained a new appreciation for baseball when I took my son to his first baseball game last week. Read my latest article on @FSRedbirdRants to hear the story! redbirdrants.com/posts/why-we-l…
@cardinalsgifs was Manny smirking after Contreras getting hit?!

Team leaders (and forever Cardinals) Brendan Donovan and Willson Contreras link up for an excellent out there #STLCards
I'm going to push this back out there now after ANOTHER hit by pitch for Contreras at the hands of the Padres #STLCards #FortheLou We have to hit him. @FSRedbirdRants Story: redbirdrants.com/cardinals-pitc…
I think what some people are missing is that Brendan Donovan won't be traded without A) a haul and B) Chaim Bloom's approval. He's a core piece with team control. If Bloom sees more value in the return, it'll happen. This won't be solely on John Mozeliak. #STLCards

The trade deadline rumor mill is in full vigor right now. All-Star Brendan Donovan's name has been tossed around lately, and he's been connected to an AL Central powerhouse. @FSRedbirdRants #STLCards #ForTheLou Story: redbirdrants.com/mlb-insider-sp…
Scooter Gennett should sound familiar to #STLCards fans
Players to hit 4 HR in a game: Nick Kurtz - 2025 Eugenio Suarez - 2025 JD Martinez - 2017 Scooter Gennett - 2017 Josh Hamilton - 2012 Carlos Delgado -2003 Shawn Green - 2002 Mike Cameron - 2002 Mark Whiten - 1993 Bob Horner - 1986 Mike Schmidt - 1976 Willie Mays - 1961 Rocky…
What we’re hearing about the Cardinals and the trade deadline: nytimes.com/athletic/65147… What I’m hearing about the Cardinals’ trade deadline: John Mozeliak listening on relievers
It's now: 6.2 IP 3 H O BB 8 K 0 ER Their trade value continues to ascend (Steven Matz also went 1 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, and he's a tradeable player as well) #STLCards #ForTheLou
Jojo Romero, Phil Maton & Ryan Helsley tonight: 3.2 IP 1 H 0 BB 6 K 0 ER That doesn't hurt the trade value. x.com/BKSportsTalk/s…
Ok. Miles Mikolas has a three-run lead heading into the 5th inning. He's gotten some innings. Fernando Tatis Jr. Is due up third with (hopefully) two easy outs ahead of him. Now's the time to hit a guy and defend your fiery team leader #STLCards #ForTheLou
It's crazy how our first pitcher to exit the first three innings in a long time unscathed is Miles Mikolas (whose velocity is noticeably up these past 2 starts) #STLCards #ForTheLou
What makes this story even better is that the cover image has Nolan Arenado (who certainly isn't going to NYY now), and I write about the #STLCards scouting Griffin Herring, who just went to the Rockies in the trade. Humility is a virtue, people.
Cardinals Rumors: St. Louis zeroing in on potential Yankees trade target (via @thomasgauvain) redbirdrants.com/cardinals-rumo…
Which #STLCards reliever is most likely to get traded this deadline?

I'm not a huge bobblehead collector, but this one is special. And I may have an extra... If this post gets 500 likes by Monday, I'll give one away. #forthelou ⚾❤️
At this point, I want Ryan Helsley to stay with the #STLCards. We have four tradeable relievers (Helsley, Matz, Maton, and JoJo). Two of those other three can be moved for good packages still. Keep Helsley a Cardinal with a contract this offseason. He clearly wants to be here.
Ignore my valuation, but I had scoops 14 months ago on a piece I wrote back on 5/12/24 featuring Mick Abel and Ryan Helsley. #STLCards
