@SpiritAirlines I've been trying to contact customer service via text and web for 2 days. It always tells me the wait is around an hour. Then, hours later, I get a message saying we're sorry wait times are longer than expected and it redirects me to the chatbot. Happened 8x now.

@MasynWinnTruths @katiejwoo If he declines again, they should say “hey there, guy with borderline HOF offensive stats, if you actually want at-bats you’re gonna need to go somewhere else to get them or do better than an OPS in the sixes. They’d never say that, but they absolutely should.

[Nate Becker @natebecker]

@giveyourblzatug @katiejwoo He could have helped that by actually hitting, especially when it counted, while he was here.

[Nate Becker @natebecker]

@katiejwoo Not in the lineup, but then they decide he should go out there for a performative warmup and then the team plays a short bench on a Sunday because of stupid vanity.

What a perfect encapsulation of Arenado’s fail tenure as a Cardinal. Hope they actually trade him this offseason.

[Nate Becker @natebecker]

@katiejwoo Another reason Marmol needs to go. Sometimes you have to make the call to do what’s actually best for the player despite what the player wants to do. Marmol clearly cannot handle that. Oli is letting a 23-year-old try to be a hero in a lost season rather than saying “no.” Awful.

Mind-blowing detail from @WSJ's story on the fate of Navalny: Trying to pressure for a deal to free American prisoners in Russia, the US "considered punishing Putin by expelling Russian hockey players in America, including Alexander Ovechkin." https://t.co/ns6BaelLBj

Welp, @edwrdmoreno gets confirmation from BLS that Erika McEntarfer was indeed terminated today. Spox said deputy commissioner William Wiatrowski will serve as acting commissioner. https://t.co/hdHcnELGPt

Who could be the next person to run the BLS?

If only there were someone in Trump’s orbit who he considers to be a Great Patriot, who only ever put up good statistics…

@DurhamBulls Gotcha! Just wasn’t sure if it was gonna be like Busch Stadium, where they go on the warning track. We will find a spot outside with the kiddo then! Thanks so much for the info.

[Nate Becker @natebecker]

@DurhamBulls Just checking: After the parade on the street, they’re gonna be taking a lap around the *inside* of the stadium, right? The language has been a little unclear.

[Nate Becker @natebecker]

@DurhamBulls The language is ambiguous in every single writeup: after the parade, they will “circle the stadium” or “take a lap around the ballpark”… Will they be inside or outside the park when they circle it? We have tickets to the game and want to be sure our kiddo sees them.

Never change, Cubs. PCA hotdogging a catch in the outfield and allowing Winn to score from second. What a sac fly.

@Cardinals Player A) 10 IP, 9.00 ERA, 1.90 WHIP
Player B) 6.2 IP, 6.75 ERA, 1.65 WHIP

Player A is Roycroft this season
Player B is the career stat line for Kike Hernandez, who is a position player.

On the morning of Tesla deliveries, @ranimolla has an important story: The analyst estimates everybody will compare deliveries to are stale. Even some analysts who have publicly updated their forecasts aren’t reflected in the consensus.

@DannyWebster21 Any word whether they're ever going to IR Theodore? As somebody who's not in Vegas, I can't really find anything on his potential timeline...

Refreshing to see my Twitter feed explode and it's all just love for Sidney Crosby instead of political stuff.

People don’t seem to remember this at all, but a deal was already struck for TikTok once, to satisfy the OG anti-TikTok president Donald Trump’s ban language.

If you want to know what will happen to TikTok now, take a look at its past: https://t.co/PTaQBSHP0i
