Is A.J. Pierzynski just what the St. Louis Cardinals need?
Disclaimer: The ideas in this post contain my opinions only. They should, in no way, be considered the opinion of the Viva El Birdos writing staff as a whole, unless, of course, they choose to say so in the comments section. On July 25th, 2014, Derrick Goold reported that the St. Louis Cardinals were set to make a move that made even semi-casual fans audibly grumble. Admittedly, I was one of those fans, too, initially at least. However, the more I discussed the signing of A.J. Pierzynski with some of my baseball buddies, the more I became comfortable with the move, and beyond that, the...

Cardinals vs Cubs recap: Miller, Pierzynski, offense all click in 6-3 win
A.J. Pierznski begins winning hearts, minds in Redbird debut. Matt Adams just keeps hitting triples. After a brief tour of Busch Stadium's bullpen facilities, Shelby Miller (7-8, 4.25 ERA, 4.79 FIP, 4.88 xFIP) returned to the rotation this afternoon. The Cubs sent All-Star snub Jake Arrieta (5-2, 2.12 ERA, 2.14 FIP, 2.79 xFIP) out to face a Cardinals lineup that included Oscar Taveras, but not Tony Cruz. Last night brought us the surprising news that the Birdos were going to sign A.J. Pierzynski and discard George Kottaras like an old, holey catcher's mitt. Additional surprising news...
