Positive: British sports media promoting baseball with @MLBEurope finally getting more airtime!
Negative: British cricket fans knowing NOTHING about baseball trying to explain how a game lasting 5 days can be fun to be watch!? And they say baseball has a pace of play issue...

@hayesunit Love it!

#STLCards wRC+ against NL Central opponents versus Nolan #Arenado wRC+ against NL Central opponents away from Coors!
And people out there worried about Nados’ Home Road splits!

[Matt Benson @STLCardsUK]

@wkitchener True, though you did absolutely smash it again this week!

[Matt Benson @STLAnalyticsUK]

Dylan Carlsons’ first career homer and RBI in the majors
Yadi’s first 4 hit game at Busch since 2013
Alex Reyes’ first save since 2016, in just 10 pitches
#STLCards back over .500

Most likely outcome for Dylan Carlson batting 6th tonight for the #STLCards?

[Matt Benson @STLAnalyticsUK]

After going 283 days before the season started without competitive #STLCards baseball, why have the 28 hours between the last game and today seemed an eternity!?
It’s CarlosStarterSZN y’all, roll on the tsunami 🌊

[Matt Benson @STLAnalyticsUK]

The #STLCards last beat the Pirates on #OpeningDay in 1980 with a Pete Vuckovich 1-0 shutouts, but
▶️ Jack Flaherty has a 1.84 career ERA in starts vs. the Pirates
▶️ Joe Musgrove has an 8.64 ERA at Busch Stadium
▶️ Goldy had a 208 wRC+ against Pittsburgh in 2019
LFG Cardinals!!!

[Matt Benson @STLAnalyticsUK]

Today should have been the day - in London watching the #STLCards, Jack Flaherty on the mound and Goldy & co. at the plate destroying the Cubs!
I know there’s mixed opinion on playing a series overseas but for those of us 🇬🇧 baseball fans this would have been a highlight of 2020!

[Matt Benson @STLAnalyticsUK]

Put the date in the diaries folks when new #STLCards second round pick @MasynWinn is hitting 100+ mph on the mound and rounding the base with a grand slam Redbirds.
Love this pick!

[Matt Benson @STLAnalyticsUK]

After listening to Wednesdays @Buster_ESPN Baseball Tonight Podcast discussion on the top baserunning 1st baseman in the game right now, I took a look at the numbers.
Confirmation Paul Goldschmidt is the man & it’s not even close! #STLCards #BleacherTweets

2020 regular season game (yes i’m still hopeful!), end of the tenth and the game is tied. MLB has gone against the grain and decided to implement a 3 vs 3 home run derby to decide the winner!
Who are you taking from the #STLCards to get the W?
