  • Who Fits the Cardinals’ Plans for 2027? | Claibs & Joe

    Mike Claiborne joins Joe Roderick for another edition of Claibs & Joe on STL Sports Central, with the 2026 Cardinals season nearing the finish line and football season kicking into high gear.

    Claibs and Joe break down what the Cardinals have learned during an evaluation-heavy season and look ahead to some of the biggest questions facing the club in 2027. They discuss Riley O’Brien’s recent struggles and the future of the closer role, Matthew Liberatore’s place on the pitching staff, the Cardinals’ options at third base, and whether prospects like Rainiel Rodriguez could eventually factor into the equation. They also examine what the final games of the season could mean for several players fighting for roles next year.

    Then the conversation shifts to football, including the changing landscape of college football, the transfer portal’s impact on recruiting and roster building, early-season conference matchups, and why it’s becoming harder to evaluate teams in September. Plus, Claibs gives his thoughts on the opening of the NFL season, Buffalo’s outlook, and why Week 1 results shouldn’t always be taken at face value.

  • O'Brien Gives Up 10th Inning Homer, Drop Series to Giants | Cards Central 365 Postgame

    Matthew Liberatore only allowed 1 run in his final start at Busch Stadium for the season, but the offense couldn't figure out Anthony Molina.


    The Giants late inning pitching and defense made things interesting late with errors leading to a few Cardinals runs, plus walks in the 9th allowed the Cardinals to tie things up with a Leo Bernal 2-out single


    But the Cardinals once again went to Riley O'Brien in the 10th and on the first pitch, he gave up a 2-run homer to give the Giants back the lead. The Giants would survive another threat by the Cardinals in the bottom half of the inning, but lose 6-5

  • Cards Win Another Series vs Playoff Team | Cards Central 365 Postgame

    It's a delayed live edition of the Card Postgame Show, as the Cardinals win the series from the White Sox with a 3-1 win on Sunday.

    It took until the 6th inning to get their first baserunner, but once they did, they loaded the bases and Alec Burleson drove them all in with a double, giving the lefty 109 RBIs on the season.
    McGreevy was good, Graceffo was great, and Soriano did just enough to close things out.

  • O'Brien Blows Another Save | Cards Central 365 Postgame

    On the day the Cardinals inducted their 2026 HOF class that included Yadier Molina, catching prospect Leo Bernal continued to impress with a go-ahead home run in the 8th inning to give the Cardinals a 5-4 lead (Pujols and Molina?)

    However, it was a rough outing for Cooper Hjerpe in his Busch Stadium debut, and the Cardinals burned thru another big chunk of their bullpen. That bullpen also included Riley O'Brien who blew yet another save, when he had 2 outs and 2 strikes on Randal Grichuk before the former Cardinal hit a 2-run go-ahead home run

The guys also discuss Tony La Russa’s approach to building a lineup, David Eckstein’s impact on the 2006 championship team, and why this Hall of Fame weekend could be one Cardinals fans remember for a long time.
