Opened my first pack of @Topps Allen & Ginter 2020 & who did I pull?
None other than St. Louis’ own @dgoold with a jazzy striped shirt!
Not a bad find for a 🇬🇧 #STLCards fan!

New Cardinals RHP Sem Robberse: 94-95 FB with a CH at 89 mph.

He's normally 91-94, has an above average slider, solid changeup and cutter w/good feel. Only 21 and is in AA, looks like a back-end SP. Signed out of the Netherlands, has improved quickly https://t.co/y64NZx2YAj

Tekoah Roby carries a no-no into the 7th for @RidersBaseball.

The @Rangers' No. 11 prospect ties a season high with 8 K's in 6 1/3 IP.

Anyone in London looking to watch #STLCards baseball this weekend, a few of us are heading to @HomeRunHouseLDN in Stratford on Saturday to watch the @UK_Cardinals vs. @WhiteSox_UK.
First pitch at 19:10, come along for a beer, a bite to eat and hopefully a Cards W! #MLBMeetupsUK

@BritsontheBat Ask and thou shalt receive - let’s go B-Don!

After having such a good time arranging meet-ups with UK #STLCards fans last weekend, myself & @ScottSeamons have decided to setup a one-stop-shop for all things Cardinals meet-ups & chat with UK fans over at @BritsontheBat - come check us out!

[Brits on the Bat @BritsontheBat]

Introducing Brits on the Bat - a 🇬🇧 collective of #STLCards fans!
After a great experience at the #LondonSeries and enjoying arranging some meet-ups and fan interaction with Cards fans over in London, we’ve decided to setup this account to grow our @Cardinals presence in the UK!

@grantsales I had the same last week mate - useless Twitter!

5/5
Finally thanks to @MLBEurope, @MLBUKCommunity, @Batflips_Nerds & @Cardinals for organising a great event!
We’ll continue spreading the good word of baseball across the pond to UK #STLCards fans & growing the fanbase so in the future we’ll be outnumbering Cubs fans in London!

How to sum up the #STLCards #LondonSeries in a post? (You can’t, this will be a thread!)
It hasn’t just been a 2 game series, it’s been a week long baseball extravaganza - meeting 🇬🇧 & 🇺🇸 Cards fans, sportswriters, WS winners, active players & even an odd bearable Cubs fan 😉

[Matt Benson @STLAnalyticsUK]

4/5
@GrantSales for the eternal PDJ love
@KurtWilks for great vibes on workout day!
@AHeckroth for finally meeting after years of writing together for @FSRedbirdRants
@BrianSay for enthusiasm and top stories
@LBundy90 & @WesMckK88 for coming to the watch party and so many others!

After being optioned back to Memphis last week, Luken Baker got right back to mashing.
