John Rooney's call of Alec Burleson's go ahead two run home run, as heard on @KMOXSports
The home run capped off an eight run inning and gave the Cardinals a 9-7 lead. What a day at Busch Stadium. What a day of Cardinals baseball. #STLCards #OpeningDay

It's JJ Wetherholt time in St. Louis!
The No. 5 prospect in the sport is set for his MLB debut, playing second base and hitting leadoff for the @Cardinals on #OpeningDay.

@KySportsRadio I mean… Wouldn’t you want your program to spend that kind of money to get Mike Woodson the heck out of there??

Indiana spent $9 million more on basketball than any other program and didn’t make the Tournament
Matt Brown@MattBrownEP
good morning I FOIA'd the operational budget for more than 200 MBB programs Here's who spends the most, the least, who gets the most (wins) out of the least money, and what you need to spend to make it deep in March: (full data in link below)

@markasaxon I’m pretty sure this is the stance ownership has always taken on these specific contract negotiations, right? This was the same thing with Flaherty at that time

Why on Earth the Cardinals would lowball a guy who might be their best all-around player and a young piece to build around is beyond me.
Jeff Jones@jmjones
Cardinals say they have reached agreements on 2026 contracts with 29 of their 30 pre-arb players. Masyn Winn, who is arb eligible for the first time after this season, had his contract renewed, which means the team assigns a salary to him rather than his accepting their offer.

@dgoold Would this mean they can add Roby to 60-day and free up roster spot without the previous serve time repercussions?
English
#stlcards make first trims of camp:
11 players sent out including Mike Antico, Jurrangelo Cijntje, Austin Love, Graysen Tarlow, and also rehabbing pitchers Sem Robberse, Tekoah Roby, Zack Thompson, and Ixan Henderson.
Roby is the only option.
Ten others reassigned.

@dgoold Yeah, thought about it more and seems like that’s one of the things the players probably appreciate. Or at least the ones that aren’t Kent who have been on what seems like 5 teams this winter.
English
@benleavitt It's by design -- so teams cannot stash players without some kind of ramification for them, and that makes sense from the union's perspective as well as other teams who want access to talent.

Ramon Urias is wearing No. 33 and joining the #stlcards today.
He had his physical yesterday and team is finalizing what’s expected to be a major-league deal.
English
@dgoold Thanks. Makes sense now. Weird that the 40 essentially acts as the 26 roster during ST as regards to service time, especially when you see so many end of year/beginning of year injuries that put end of rosters in a bind.
English
@benleavitt That's on my end. Internet collapsed. My apologies. Here is the story:

@dgoold Am I not seeing a link? Sorry, know the game is going on… nice relay by sound of it
English
@benleavitt There's a longer explanation in this Extra -- it's down toward the bottom and has a subhed on the 60-day.
English
@dgoold That’d be great (STL pinch hits link is where I would go…) thanks as always!
English
@benleavitt I put an explanation in the paper and online here a few days ago, would that suffice? I can find the link to it in a little bit ...
English
@dgoold So this counts as continuing the HOFer on the field for StL streak, right??
Regardless, awesome for him

Stubby Clapp, Hall of Famer.
#stlcards coach and Memphis' beloved player has been elected to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame for its Class of 2026.

@BKSportsTalk (nothing about this blows me away, would’ve just rather they extended BD to be honest)
English
Not sure you could ask for a whole lot more in the Donny return. You got something from every possible avenue — pitcher with upside, position player with upside & a draft pick. We’ll talk more tomorrow, but heck of a job by Chaim Bloom.

I normally try to stick to hoops talk because that’s why I’m here, but jfc we can’t just keep pretending this shit is normal

The scammers running our country want you to think that a VA nurse named Alex Pretti hated America. In reality, he was the sort of person who did this: x.com/i/status/20152…

This is who our government is calling a “monster” and a “domestic terrorist.” Lies travel fast when violence needs cover
English
@geoffschwartz Usually it’s former players, right? Seems like MLB is worse at this than basketball or football… maybe I just pay attention to more national baseball personalities.
English
Do NFL analysts/personalities get on national platforms during the playoffs and continually appear to not enjoy the sport they cover?
