Need a reason to get out and do something the night of August 20th? Some guy named Jason Motte is going to be doing an autograph signing at Chesterfield Baseball Cards according to this page. Of course, the page lists the day as “Saturday, August 20, 2012″, so maybe Jason’s calendar isn’t the same as [...]

If I told you that David Freese has been just as productive and valuable as Adrian Beltre this season, would you believe me? After all, many consider Beltre as the gold standard at 3rd base, and he remains a solid choice to defend his AL Gold Glove and Silver Slugger awards. Beltre currently boasts a [...]

It takes a lot for baseball fans in St. Louis to boo one of its own. Maybe the final straw came when Tyler Greene watched a ball go through his legs last night during the 6th inning. Maybe. The E4 allowed 2 runs to score, although the situation likely dictated that at least 1 would [...]

After you have bounced around in John Mozeliak’s office and called in Mike Matheny for a discussion about banning the bunt, you have to call Scott Boras and invite him in for a chat.

For whatever your reasons, you have grown emotionally attached to 1 or more, and the thought of them in another team’s uniform amounts to baseball sacrilege. Well, try setting aside those thoughts [...]

Apparently, Skip’s generosity brings all the stars to the yard (or the church in this case). The host of the charity event “STARS 4 Baby Reesa” worked with some St Louis and Mizzou sports favorites and an incredible team of volunteers from Sunrise UMC to create a miracle. While the quick takeaway from the charity [...]

Joe Kelly has a pretty good sinking fastball, and it’s helped him hold down a 2.70 ERA through his first 6 big league starts. Little do people realize that Kelly perfected his sinker at altitude. No, we’re not talking about pitching in Colorado with baseballs from a humidor. Think just a bit higher. That’s right. [...]
