@notgaetti @TheeRickAnkiel Took off work to go to his first game as OF. Slow game. Night off. Beers. Strip clubs it is! Watched him homer from PTs. Me and my buddy were jumping up and down. Livin’ in the Dream that night. lol.

Drop whatever you’re doing, folks!
Feast your eyes on these ludicrous throws by @TheeRickAnkiel, today’s NEPTA subject, from the game at Coors Field where he famously cut down two unsuspecting Rockies at 3B on the fly from 250+ feet.
Picture. Perfect.
Not Gaetti@notgaetti

@natetepp @JeffPassan Ol Brendan Ryan. He was….somethan. Play like an Allstar for two weeks then suck for a month. Pretty flighty in the head too. And he fell off the cliff with the quickness
English
@JeffPassan Last time the Mariners got an infielder named Brendan from the Cardinals it didn't work out so well... Hopefully this is a better outcome.
English
Over the last three years …
Player A: 366 games, .282/.351/.420, 117 wRC+, 7.5 fWAR
Player B: 355 games, .291/.333/.445, 116 wRC+, 8.0 fWAR
Player A is Brendan Donovan. Player B is Bo Bichette.
Seattle got a very good, underappreciated player who can fill a number of roles.

@JeffPassan @MattPauleyOnAir These folks that keep saying “underrated” are definitely NOT from the Lou. Donnie is the type of ballplayer we embrace. Tough loss to swallow but like someone mentioned, bad timing.

@CoachJayRose Had soo much stick em on mine I couldn’t touch my jersey!

Who can name the most random Cardinals player of all time?
I’ll start…

@theredbird_way One word - Weird.
Favorite performance was every time he took himself out of the game.

2 questions:
1. One word to describe Sonny Gray as a Cardinal?
2. What was your favorite Sonny Gray performance?

FINAL
CBC 42 (11-1)
Jackson 45 (12-0)
The Indians defeat the previously unbeaten Cadets who came into today with one of the highest offensive efficiencies in the country. Jackson matched fire with fire & won a slugfest for the ages. Jackson advances to the Class 6 semifinals.
English
38-21 Jackson at the half. CBC receives the second half kickoff. It's going to need a combination of scores and stops to have a chance.

HALFTIME
CBC 21
Jackson 38
@drewparsons2026 has thrown for 3 touchdowns all to @JoryThoma with 2 additional rushing touchdowns by @jaylonhampton13. Nick McClellan has thrown 2 touchdowns as the Cadets finally got going in the 2nd quarter but find themselves in a big hole.

@AugieNash I got married at home plate and this is the song we walked out to….amazing surreal experience

@BBGreatMoments I'm a huge Stan Musial fan, but sadly this isn't factual.

The second sitting U.S. president to attend the US Open, President Donald J. Trump. 🎾🇺🇸

Today, President Donald J. Trump will call on Americans to pray for our nation and rededicate ourselves as ONE NATION UNDER GOD.
This is from 2023, when President Trump made protecting Christians and religious liberty a core part of his campaign.
Promise made, promise kept.
