There are two times in a person's life when they increase their body weight by 21.3% in just five months: 1) From ages 6-11 months 2) When you're Zac Veen @baseballprospectus.com www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article...

Federal prosecutors are expected to extend plea deals to a dozen defendants in the sprawling, mob-linked poker case that led to charges against a basketball Hall of Famer and another former NBA player, according to a court document.

Nothing has hammered home that I’m in my mid-to-late 30s quite like seeing Manager Glasses Albert Pujols.

Hunger for AI hardware is triggering a price surge across tech devices, and affordable laptops are the first casualty. nyti.ms/3MO4zPD

The Brewers once again have a roster full of short guys. They keep acquiring more. Are they doing this on purpose? The most Serious Journalism I will conduct in Phoenix: www.jsonline.com/story/sports...

Luis Arraez is the first player in WBC history with multiple multi-HR games in his career !!!

If there's media you care about, it's hard to overstate how important it is that you subscribe to it. Ad rates are garbage, and the changes to search mean fewer new folks discovering sites they didn't already visit.

So this is fun or horrifying. If you wear META's smartglasses, there's a significant chance that META subcontractors will be able to see everything you do through your glasses, and I mean everything. That thing you do, that you hope no one knows you do, yeah META knows about that now.

Always good to talk #stlcards with @daynperry.bsky.social, filling in for the coaching @amedlock1.bsky.social. Using his excellent Birdy Work post as a guide, we talk Gorman, Pallante, attendance, trade deadline, and so much more. Give it a listen! cms.megaphone.fm/channel/RRTE...

Two marsupial species thought long extinct, until now known only from fossils, were found alive in New Guinea through a collaboration of scientists, indigenous communities and citizen scientists.

Pitcher List Stats is now on Bluesky!

I have a lot of thoughts about this article, so please bear with me as I put them all together. The quote from Miles Mikolas is irresponsible. It completely lacks context. In short, he says the Union should not defend Profar. The Union has a duty of fair representation to represent bargaining 1/

The local paper (STLToday) showed a graphic depicting the Cardinals' TV broadcast territory. That's a swath.

I had this card. I guess I probably still do.

Goooooooooooooood morning, baseball.

Where the Cardinals fans at? How many autographs can you spot on this program? #CardSky

Cardinals No. 7 prospect Quinn Mathews faced 11 Pirates today and struck out 7 of them. Was absolutely cruising until he allowed a two-run homer to Alika Williams in his third inning. Final line: 2 2/3 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 7 K 50 pitches, 30 strikes, 12 whiffs

Original sketch, World Baseball Classic logo, 2005. Everything starts with something, somewhere, somehow. Back then you got a sense of what the event's potential could be, but you had to squint a little bit and project forward, far into the future.

It's spring and the #STLCards are in camp so I wanted to remind everyone to avoid Fanatics brand apparel. I've received multiple articles of Fanatics brand STL clothing as gifts and every single one has failed to last a year because the screen print fades or fabric becomes damaged. Low quality

Seems like most AI innovation is in the area of fraud

NEW: Wikipedia editors have implemented new policies and restricted a number of contributors who were paid to use AI to translate existing Wikipedia articles into other languages after they discovered these AI translations added AI “hallucinations,” or errors, to the resulting article.

New: Internal tension at the Associated Press over use of AI. One of the AP newsroom leaders leading the company's AI initiatives told staff that many editors preferred an AI-written article to a human one, and told them when it comes to using AI in the newsroom "resistance is futile."

The Cardinals helped JJ Wetherholt grow into a Top 5 overall prospect and got breakouts from Rainiel Rodriguez and Joshua Baez in '25. After adding more talent this offseason, the development work adds another chapter in the organization's rebuild. The St. Louis Top 30: www.mlb.com/milb/news/ca...

In an article today at The Athletic, I saw this quote from Andrew Zimbalist: "Even though the Cardinals might lose money on it because they're giving away too many hot dogs and french fries." He's talking about a $29 dollar all you can eat deal. Um, what? How in the world would the Cardinals...

of all the responses in our MLB fan survey, these two back-to-back are the funniest. the owners are to blame for payroll disparity, so the solution is to... give them more power? 🔗 www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...

Marmol has definitely established his ability to middle-manage losing teams that net high draft picks & the #STLCwrds are unlikely to compete before 2029. One hopes the multiple failures by highly thought of prospects to break into MLB during his tenure doesn't continue and hurt the rebuild...

Do you remember when the #STLCards gave Mike Matheny an extension in October 2016 (announced in November) through the 2020 season? #DeWallet

I think a lot of Gundam fans are familiar with this image of Karl Urban and Viggo Mortensen stocking up on MSiA, but did you know that both of them are wearing Viggo’s homemade No More Blood for Oil (in Japanese) t-shirts?

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children said it received over a million reports tied to AI-generated child sexual abuse material in just nine months.

if Paramount eats Warner Bros, expect fewer PTAs and Cooglers and Gyllenhaals getting big-swing budgets, more jobbing screenwriters competing to see who can write the best 51% of a tentpole about action figures no living soul cares about www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

One thing I thought I'd see was maybe if catchers (as batters) would be skilled at challenging, and, at least in 2025 AAA, uhh, no. Interesting that SS were great, DH not! Some 'general athleticism' overlap here? www.mlb.com/news/abs-cha...

One never knows what internal deliberations or talks with a FA were like, but signing Urias and playing Saggese and Fermin in the OF instead of signing Grichuk makes one think about what the FO thinks of Saggese. www.mlbtraderumors.com/2026/02/yank...

Marmol said postgame that once the lead was large enough that they could be reasonably confident there would be a bottom of the ninth, they held Gastelum for that inning so he’d feel the end of a game. If you don’t know him yet, you should soon.

getting an algorithmic recommendation will always be less awesome than some weirdo cashier in a band t-shirt going “oh dude dude dude you have to see this it’s gonna blow your minnnnnd”

so after buying MLBtv through ESPN Unlimited ($15 discount) I wasn't seeing it reflected in any of my MLB apps. Turns out you have to link your ESPN and MLB accounts (understandably), and there are directions to do that here for anyone in a similar situation: support.mlb.com/s/article/Ho...
