John, emo baseball leftist
Saw a dude this morning outside Kwik Trip with a breakfast sandwich and a white Monster. He was pouring splashes of the Monster on his sandwich and then taking bites. This motherfucker was Sloppy Steaking his fucking breakfast sandwich with Monster.

@ChatCityTactics As someone who has never liked his game but respected the underlying numbers - I am extremely vexed by this guy. 3.5 more seasons!

I know this is a leak rather than an official spoiler, but since this seems to be confusing people I'm like 99% sure that you can't just cast Ancestral Recall. My guess is that ability it tied to the creature being prepared. So play the creature, pay one to Ancestral and then you'll need to prepare again by exiling eight cards from your graveyard if you want to do it again. At least that's my guess.

According to @AnalysisEvolved g+ formula, there are THREE starters with above 0.00 goals added as a passer: Baumgartl (0.12) Orozco (0.10) Becher (0.04) Becher's assist get's him over the line, whereas the defense's solid work in build up gets Orozco & Timo their marks.

Major League Baseball is aired in the morning for Japan. So technically they eat breakfast with it being on television. Here’s their #openingday commercial. No hyperbole, when I say this, it might be greater than any US MLB commercial I’ve seen. Well done and worth the watch for any baseball fan.

@ChatCityTactics I think keeper numbers are even noisier than other players but… Not Great Bob!

MD5 in the books means exciting things - some MLS players have now hit the 450-minute threshold for our cards. Still a *small sample size*, but it's now a meaningful one. The first #AllForCITY player card of 2026 is... a bit of a doozy.

@MattBakerSTL I would not rate that a great attacking performance given the situation. Allowing Wallem to get inside certainly made him look better than the first 4 games but your just swapping ineffective WB for ineffective attacker. Prefer to see Joyner.

The interesting thing re: Célio vs NE is that he actually didn’t generate much offense himself. He took 2 shots, both were blocked, he was 0/5 on crosses, only won 2/7 duels and not much in the way of defensive/pressing success in creating turnovers. Singularly, it was a meh game for him at best. But what he enabled holistically in the @stlCITYsc attacking half, allowing Wallem to invert, widening the field in the attacking half and causing the Revs defense to spread out more than we’d been requiring w/Teuchert or even Sangbin in… that’s where Célio’s value was last night. It will be interesting to see what happens to Wallem if Teuchert returns to that role in 2 weeks or if Célio is able to keep hold for now in training and we see a similar look vs NYCFC on April 4. #AllForCITY

@MattBakerSTL @stlCITYsc @FlyoverFooty Who would have ever guessed Ceilo would generate offense.

@ChatCityTactics At least there is a clear tactical change with Wallem tucking inside to allow Celio to do his thing. Maybe obvious but it’s nice to see.

SIGN A DP for Burki’s Turkey
When Carolyn Kindle says “we are not failures” but the team is bottom of the Western Conference: Officially day 47 of asking CITY to announce a new DP striker on a permanent deal that can actually score goals. I will not rest until this is completed.

Yunus Musah is better at soccer than seb Berhalter and Cristian roldan. There’s simply no way anyone with a brain can justify otherwise.

The rulebook defines the strike zone as a 3D volume. Any part of the ball crossing any part of that space is a strike. ABS uses a 2D plane at the plate’s midpoint. MLB tested the literal rulebook version first. The 3D zone produced inconsistent calls on breaking balls. Evaluating at the front edge turned slow curveballs that bounced in the dirt into called strikes. The midpoint plane was chosen because it tracked closest to how umpires have been calling the zone in practice for decades. The legitimate criticism here is that the rulebook was never updated to match what the system actually does. That’s a real process failure. But calling it a technical limitation implies they couldn’t get it right. They tested it, didn’t like what it produced and made a deliberate choice.
Moveouttheway, peck@feelitmon

@rationalyankee Good point, including where you refer to the “ABS strike zone” instead of the strike zone. The ABS system’s technical limitations cause its strike zones to violate the official MLB rules. It moves the 2D vertical plane from the front of the plate to its midpoint — still wrong.

@kerrc17 Chris sorry, assumed you'd replied to my other reply, Gio is one, Musah was top of mind however.

It's no secret I'm not at all a fan of the gold kits for CITY, but choosing to wear them at LAFC, the one club in MLS that has Black and Gold as their colors, instead of just wearing CITY red will be monumentally dumb.
