@bschaeffer12 @TitanUp2002 @AndyLopinot It’s only fair for the Cards to show up, tarps off, to cheer for the SFA team tomorrow night!

@TitanUp2002 @AndyLopinot Cardinals play during the day. I could see them throwing out a first pitch or something.

Brian and I have talked about the pitch classification and the alteration of Doyle’s repertoire pretty regularly. Love this article. It’s perfect. It really gets into it. Subscribe to BA if you aren’t already. I had let my subscription lapse and I’m stupid as shit for it

Last week, Liam Doyle debuted two new breaking balls 👀 Here's how @CardsPlayerDev and the former @Vol_Baseball star are working together to develop Doyle's arsenal around his 70-grade heater: baseballamerica.com/stories/how-li…

No U.S. military officer takes an oath "to serve my Commander in Chief"
Officers take an oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, Foreign and domestic..."
Lt Colonel Dan Rooney@LtColDanRooney
I took an oath as an officer in the United States Air Force to serve my Commander in Chief. My allegiance to that oath has not wavered in my 28 years of service. The President has endorsed another candidate in CD1 for Congress. It is not congruent with my assignments in life to actively campaign against a candidate endorsed by my Commander in Chief. I am grateful President Trump called and spoke with me personally. He was complimentary of my service to this nation and discussed other opportunities to serve within the administration. Today, I will continue serving this great nation in uniform as a commander in the Oklahoma Air National Guard and serving as the founder and CEO of Folds of Honor. To every volunteer, donor, and patriot who stood with this campaign, thank you. A special thank you to the veterans that supported and encouraged me. Your belief in this mission meant everything. Service never stops, and neither will we.
English
@Snakeeater36 Nah, I'm a combat Vet who's been to plenty of FoH events, and even had a years-long monthly donation direct deposited to FoH. Their founder being this far into a political cult that he slashes the oath we all took is too much. Fuck him and FoH. Plenty of other Vet orgs out there.
English
This piece of shit ….i actually had the honor of attending a folds of honor ceremony for quite a significantly large event, you can piss and moan about peoples politics, but guys like Adam here would rather see the families of veterans lose significant education opportunities just because they have a political disagreement with the founder.
Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦@AdamKinzinger
If anyone gives to folds of honor, maybe find another charity. Their founder thinks the military swears an oath to the president.
English
@LtColDanRooney Wait…an oath to serve the Commander in Chief? Not an oath to uphold the Constitution? Looks like my monthly donation to FoH just got canceled.

Are Trump supporters misinformed, ignorant or just plain stupid?
English
@foosiesdad @FBIDirectorKash @ChrisVanHollen No. That is a FEC (Federal Election Commission) form used by campaign committees (funded by donations) to report their expenses (this one lists as its purpose "catering"). It's showing that the Senator's privately funded campaign paid for catering for an event.
English
@FBIDirectorKash @ChrisVanHollen Wait, the tax payers paid this $7100 bar bill? VanHollen didn't pay it personally nor did the lobbyist. Tax payer funded bar bill? That can't be right.....can it?

@pucktiger83 @Lurfondler …and at every other SEC school (especially Ole Miss, UGA, Alabama and Tennessee)

@thomasgauvain @BKSportsTalk Any of the 3 can be optioned to AAA and all 3 are younger, better and have a higher ceiling than Torres. It’s a no brainer.
English
@BKSportsTalk Church, Scott, and Thomas are all similar enough to me that I wouldn't want to add more to the outfield, especially with Noot back in the next 2-3 weeks.
English
Right now? Probably. Longer term? He’s probably 70th percentile outcome Victor Scott II but more expensive & with less club control.
If they had zero answers in CF, it’s a fine gamble. But they already have a project at the position.
Matt T@mdthomp_PLive
Is Alek Thomas an upgrade for the Cardinals?
English
@mdthomp_PLive Is he now? Toss up between him and VSII. Does he have a higher ceiling than any other LHH CF in our system? Maybe? Probably?
English
@nut_history I only count post-integration in my choices (leaving Hornsby out), so I go:
Musial
Pujols
Gibby
Ozzie
Yadi is my favorite player of all time, so I was tempted to put him in over Ozzie, but Ozzie has been such an ambassador for the club that I couldn't do it.
English
Who’s on the Mount Rushmore of the players that played for the St Louis Cardinals
English
@notgaetti Not a single one...because it's prohibited by both law and the CBA.
English
@AugieNash They'll lockout the players over the offseason and we'll have a shortened Spring Training. Neither the owners, bar a few, or the players will jeopardize the golden goose they're riding.
English
Are they really dumb enough to have a strike/lockout next season?

Probably nothing, definitely small sample, but interesting nonetheless:
Gorman at 3B this season: .266/.326/.494
Gorman at DH this season: .154/.244/.179

@SteveGregorio75 @MysterySolvents Hello, Steve. You’re an idiot. That is all. Hope your gofundme is used to buy yourself some class and critical thought. Keep voting against your own interests in that cult of yours though. That’ll show all those dirty libs.
English
@MysterySolvents What would happen if dipshits like yourself found out Trump was right about just about everything? It wouldn't matter to you because you have already seen that and you continue lying to yourself. You stupid fuck! You people are fucking delusional! It's fantastic! Keep exposing it
English
What would happen if Jesus came back and told the Magas that Trump is evil?

@RedbirdFarmhand @OverSlot_ I like it. But, if Bloom’s history is any indication, then we’re gonna see a HS heavy draft.

@FBallAnalysisYT @pnwdutch Posey is a 3 time World Series Champion, ROY, MVP, 5 time Silver Slugger, Gold Glover, Comeback POY. You do not deserve to have an opinion if you don’t think he’s not a first ballot HOF.

Maybe this is a hot take, but I don’t think any of these guys should get in first ballot

Lots of trade talk. Should they? Shouldn’t they? Should they like have?
If they sell, Riley O’Brien looks like the big piece to move (the returns for Noot or May or Jojo will be underwhelming)
What kind of return do you all think O’Brien brings? I am struggling to find a comp
English
@MrPlaztastic17 I mean, it doesn’t matter. This is the year to find out. I’m trading all of those guys, plus Stanek, and listening on Libby, Pallante, Burley and Gorman.
English
Assuming the #STLCards remain committed to the rebuild, that means they will likely trade:
- Riley O'Brien
- JoJo Romero
- Lars Nootbaar
- Dustin May
Are the replacements for those players so much worse where we see a big drop off in team performance?
English
@NativeArkie @BradDuplessis Yeah, the Force Recon NCO in my class was dropped due to an ethics violation for smuggling dip into Merrill phase.
English
In my Ranger School class we had a Force Recon NCO and Officer. The officer was a pretty solid guy, the NCO was a bit of a fuck up. He got us both a major spot report in Benning Phase because he fell asleep on his watch in a fighting position. Dipshit. We all graduated but I don't think they had a fun vacation.
