Once upon a time I had a baseball bucket list. Go to a home opener at Busch? Check. Attend a World Series game at Busch? Check. Overspend on baseball memorabilia? Been there, got the jersey(s). Selfie with Tyler Greene….could still happen. To be perfectly frank, I’ve checked off most things on my baseball bucket list, [...]

I’m absolutely fascinated by the physics of baseball. Talk about spin rate, multi-axis movement, and moment-of-inertia, and I’m here for it. I’m equally fascinated by how easily the physics of baseball can become distorted or misrepresented by people who don’t actually understand much about them. The Statcast era provides ample data for both intelligent [...]
Every single time Ryan Braun plays in St. Louis, he’s met with boos. Loud ones. Energetic ones with a viciousness powered by raw dislike bordering on hatred. You can practically smell the loathing through the KMOX audio feed. The former NL #MVPee gets similar treatment in other stadiums as well, but the Best Fans in [...]

In my first hour, I barely had time to find the restroom before finding myself thrust into the interview room with Stephen Piscotty. On a personal note, I mentioned him in a post last off-season, and saw him in a trip to Jupiter, for spring training last year. I was rather impressed with a [...]

Look. I’m not saying Carlos Martinez needs to be demoted to AAA. I’m not saying Mike Matheny needs to be replaced. I’m not saying a lot of the things that could probably be read between the lines here. I want to try to be as clear as possible, and minimize (or fully eliminate) any confusion [...]

By Kevin Reynolds, www.stlcardsnstuff.com Cardinals’ first baseman Matt Adams showed up at the annual Winter Warm-Up event noticeably slimmer than he finished the 2013 season. Asked about the weight loss, Adams acknowledged a “six or seven” pound drop but attributed the slimmer look to a body mass — body fat vs. muscle — change more [...]

The latest, Adam Wainwright, took several opportunities to either expand on a Miller question or redirect the topic entirely to talk about the much-discussed pitcher. At [...]
