Joaquin Benoit, Pirates bullpen falter as Cardinals take series opener, 11-7
Yadier Molina started out of the batter’s box, whipped his bat against the dirt and glared briefly toward the pitcher’s mound. Joaquin Benoit stood there, his legs still cemented in his follow-through, and watched Molina’s RBI single hop into center field. Three pitches after nearly taking a fastball to the noggin, Molina had pounded perhaps the final nail in Benoit’s coffin.

Assembling the Ideal Cardinals Lineup
I don’t think Yadier Molina is going to like this one Few aspects of the game polarize conventional and sabermetric baseball rhetoric quite like the daily lineup card. It shouldn't come as any sort of surprise that I fall into the latter school of thought. Everything about lineup construction embodies the sabermetric revolution that has dominated the 21st century: it's nerds like myself armed with spreadsheets and data tables looking to take the provided resources and squeeze out as many runs–and subsequently wins–as possible. If we abide by the rule of thumb that roughly ten runs...

St. Louis Cardinals: The rotation is gargling on exhaustion
St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Matheny hurled insinuation recently that the Cardinals All-Star catcher was “tired.” Perhaps Matheny was looking at the wrong side of the battery. Let’s get this out of the way immediately, Yadier Molina was not “tired” as Mike Matheny implied. Let’s also admit that the recent eight-game winning streak by the […] St. Louis Cardinals: The rotation is gargling on exhaustion - Redbird Rants - Redbird Rants - A St. Louis Cardinals Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More
