I could have slept in.  The Cardinal offense sure seemed to yesterday. With the games on the Jupiter schedule dwindling, more and more importance is placed on the results that get generated.  Not that they mean more–after all, until a week from today the games are made up and the stats don’t matter–but you see [...]

MAJOR LEAGUE CAMP ROSTER NOW STANDS AT 40 JUPITER, Fla., March 20, 2019 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced this afternoon that they have optioned left handed pitcher Austin Gomber and right-handed pitcher Daniel Ponce de Leon to the Memphis (AAA) roster, reducing the number of players in Major League Spring Training camp to 40, including 31 roster players.

Every year since 2009, I’ve spent some time before the season starts trying to find out what fanbases are thinking about their team.  It’s so easy to get myopic, especially with Twitter, so it’s a good chance for us (and by us, I mean me) to take a step back and remember there are 29 [...]

If I hadn’t told you, dear reader, that I needed to get in my reps and I’d try to write every day this week, I’d probably forgo this post.  After all, the MLB season has actually gotten started as the Mariners and A’s are playing as I write this in Tokyo.  So this may be [...]

Commitment

With the start of baseball just around the corner, I thought I’d look back at one of the biggest things that happened this off-season, the Bryce Harper contract. I grew up the 80’s and 90’s and some of my favorite players were tied to one organization, a key one being Tony Gwynn, who is know [...]

Getting Into Writing Shape

We’ve just a week left of spring training and I’m still woefully unprepared.  Sure, we’ve been having the Playing Pepper series run but I’ve not gotten back into the habit of writing most every day.  Let’s see if we can’t change that and have some sort of post at least the rest of this week.  [...]

While it’s debatable just how much impact a manager — and especially a hitting coach — can have, it became apparent that the situation under Mike Matheny had deteriorated to the point of a clear negative impact on player performance, and ultimately wins and losses. Additionally, John Mabry, though he had some merits as an [...]
