You’ve got a job. Maybe kids. Maybe school. And 1,000 other things to worry about – it’s hard keeping up with all the stories coming from practice baseball camp in Florida.
We’re here to help. Let’s take a look at the news that made news this past week that was in Cardinals spring training.
Story: Wainwright gets hurt.
#HOTTake: He can’t run and he can’t lift weights. But he can still pitch? Peculiar ab injury from the Cardinals ace. Most people are calling this Wain-O’s R-E-L-A-X moment, however the injury does have more than a fighting chance to derail a Lester/Wainwright opening day.
Story: Cardinals not taking Taveras’ drunk driving death in stride.
#HOTTake: Looks like the Cardinals are going to really hammer the dangers of drunk driving message home to the team this season with a series of guest speakers. Meanwhile, St. Louis is one of the largest metro areas still baring ridesharing services.
Story: Matheny whistles; ponders that awkward moment.
#HOTTake: No one is complaining about shortening up MLB games. But the tweak where managers challenge from the dugout? I was wondering the same thing Matheny is – if the slow walk to the up to challenge was used to stall for time in order to get the up/down from someone watching replays, then how is this going to speed up the game, if the manager is just standing awkwardly on the top step?
Story: Cardinals talk promos.
#HOTTake: The Harry Caray bobblehead has to be the biggest passive aggressive promo item that the Cardinals have been involved with so far. 2016 might just bring us the Tino Martinez mini dumpster, complete with tinder and and a match to make your own fire.
