There’s the next #stlcards team social media hype tweet: “Cardinals ahead in ABS challenges remaining, 2-0!!!!!

It took 18 pitches before Baez whiffed a pitch in an MLB game. #stlcards

It’s from Fox Soorts website. But coincidentally no byline was attached.

This is the write up of today’s game from Fox Sports. Such sloppy work, an embarrassment really. #foxsports #stlcards #JoshuaBaez

No mention of an MLB first ever. This was on par with Tatis 2GS game.

I’d like for someone to explain why local #stlcards beat reporters are always getting scooped by national media? This is nothing new and nothing against the current crop. It’s a decades old situation. Like there’s a mole in the FO that leaks everything away from the locals. #conspiracytheory

I thought that was a day or so ago. If so, he could have come in handy today.

There seem to be some fairly credible reports circulating right now that Joshua Baez is being recalled by the #Stlcards.

So I see that Congress is now on its yearly recess period. It’ll be another month before they come back to Washington and resume their in-person paid recess. #Congress #Recess.

When you can’t charge up the standings, you change up the uniform scheme. #stlcards

I loved listening to Harry Caray. I loved listening to Jack Buck. I love listening to Chip Caray. I love listening to Joe Buck. I love the Cardinals. I love Baseball. #stlcards #mlb #baseball

For those who say Paul is a “physician,” let it be known he’s an ophthalmologist who has paid $50,000 to settle a lawsuit.

Not sure how MLB.TV figures their commercial breaks but here in Florida it just seems appropriate that, after Oli visits the mound for a pitching change, we get a spot for depression medication Caplyta. #stlcards.

I knew this game was cursed when the first four batters got hits and they could only score two runs. #stlcards

Yea I get they’re short on true OFers. That play exposed him more as an inexperienced OFer.

There’s no reason to have an infielder playing the outfield when you have a four run lead in the 7th inning. #stlcards

I hope the #stlcards plan to offer discount “whine and cheese” for fans next Thursday in honor of Paul Seward day.

What return can you expect for a platooned, defensively-liable first baseman during the season? How much market for that? I haven’t checked but I can’t think of any team that says “that’s the profile to put us over the top.”

OK, he’s supposedly in a DC rehab center. Can somebody confirm this recent (today?) layout in a DC newspaper?

Back in the day starters regularly pitched in relief the day before the ASG break.

Looked like Winn had an easy shovel out at second to end the inning. #stlcards

It’s absolutely ridiculous to have a “short bullpen” the day before the All-Star break. Pallante and Leahy aren’t available to pitch to three batters each? #stlcards

Yea a lot of empty space around those animated baseballs.

Tonight’s #stlcards game at home vs AZ rained out. Rescheduled for July 23, creating a “fun” 20 games in 20 days scenario right out of the All-Star break!

There have been quite a few nice stories on this years #stlcards but where would they be without Andre Pallante?

If Perez was safe at home today, then so was Brock. Crowning the #stlcards 1968 WORLD CHAMPIONS!

It’s never good when you get two baserunners but only three batters in an inning. #stlcards
