79. Passing or Failing - Grading the Cardinals 1st Quarter (feat. Joe Roderick)
Description
The first quarter of the season is officially in the books, and it’s time to hand out grades.
This week on Redbird Rundown, we’re joined by Joe Roderick from STL Sports Central to break down the St. Louis Cardinals through the first quarter of the 2026 season. Which parts of this team are exceeding expectations? Which units are holding them back? And are the Cardinals actually building something sustainable?
We grade every aspect of the club:
- Offense
- Base Running
- Defense
- Starting Pitching
- Bullpen
- Coaching
From breakout performers to frustrating weaknesses, we cover what’s real, what’s concerning, and what Cardinals fans should expect moving forward.
