Matt Smith

In my first article for @vivaelbirdos I wrote about a significant arsenal change for Libby. His process was so-so yesterday even as the results were good. I’ll be tracking this through the season from him. vivaelbirdos.com/st-louis-cardi… #stlcards #sltcardinals #cardinals

Filthy sweeper from Dustin May to give Oneil Cruz the hat trick! #STLCards 3306 rpm spin rate 41 inches of drop 19 inches of horizontal break

Five Cardinals by qualified innings have a sprint 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

I built a case that should have everyone in Cardinal nation completely calm and on the same page. 😂 I think it’s Crooks time in STL. Give it a read and weigh in! vivaelbirdos.com/general/70772/… #stlcards

Is it JImmy Crooks time in St. Louis? @mksmith86 lays out the case for promoting him and a plan for how to split the playing time. vivaelbirdos.com/general/70772/… #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

TARPS OFF WALK OFF THREE RUN HOMER IVAN HERRERA 102.6 mph 410 feet #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

INSRUANCE RUN BIG FLY FROM BURLY 102.5 mph 404 feet Cards up by 2! #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

WE HAVE A GORMAN BOMB FOR THE LEAD 108.2 mph 437 feet Against a lefty with an extremely tough delivery. You love to see it. #stlcards #cardinals #stlcards

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. 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 #cardinals #stlcardinals

Tai Peete is a RISER! 📈 From a "throw-in" trade piece to a High-A standout, the power is back and the plate discipline is locked in. The Cardinals farm system just got a whole lot deeper. ⚾️🔥 #STLCards #Cardinals #MLB #Baseball #MLBProspects

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. Elite defense helps close some of that gap. Which of these guys do you see being in this rotation in 2028? #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

I thought that this was a particularly awesome conversation! We covered so much, and you should give it a listen!

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

Burly gets us on the board early after last night's tarps off walk off! 1-0 Cards! Looking for a place to hang out during teh game? Check out our discord. Tarps on or off is your choice: discord.gg/5Tw7nM6pc #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

Jordan Walker is currently on pace for 50 HRs 128 RBI 128 runs 26 SB 188 hits 7.8 WAR That’s MVP level stuff. One of the best career turnarounds of all time. Wow. #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals

Goldy won an MVP. Arenado had good years. Other guys went off offensively. But not sure we’ve seen anything like how Walker has started on offense this year since Pujols. Wow. #stlcards #cardinals #stlcardinals
