So the day after Salvy gets his big pile of money he turns around and gives a big pile of money to an awesome cause for poor kids in KC. This would have been like...most his salary last year.

That is rad as heck. What a cool guy.

Cardinals' C team currently losing 6-1 to FAU. Only other team I know of to lose to a college team in recent memory are the Phillies. Small sample size and all, but I don't like drawing that comparison.

Cards scored 12 in the bottom of the 8th to win 13-6. Spring Training is stupid.

At least it was the same guys. It'd have been hilarious but petty as poo poo if Matheny put in Holliday, Piscotty, etc. just to try to eke out a win. Good for Wisdom, though. I like what I've seen of him so far.

"In baseball, everybody calls each other by their last name, basically. You don't see a guy's first name on the back of his jersey. And in the military -- I was in the Marines for six years -- you address everybody by their last name. So I'm not good at first names. I call my nephews the wrong names sometimes.

I know the guy's name. I don't know why I called him 'Royce.' Most of us have nicknames, plus I call some of them 'Junior,' I call some of them 'Dude.' They know who I'm talking to. And so Bryce, he called me 'Rusty.' So it's no big deal. My wife goes, 'Why don't you just call him Harp?' I'm like, 'Baby, I don't know if he likes to go by Harp or not. You can't just call a guy some name.'"

I would be ok with the Nats putting the player's first name on the back of their jersey. You know, like Ichiro. Alternatively, their nickname, like Royce or Stu.

It's cool that the are incompetently run and continue to lay the groundwork to have the best player in the NL leave the minute he's a free agent.

Maybe they can put some more lovely stuff on Half Street while they're at it.

(Except the brewery. That place is good.)

Didn't he intend on keeping it and letting it live "the lifestyle of the champion it is" or something? The BBQ must really run thick in his veins.

For like 4 years, yes. Its kind of a new Spring Training ritual, figuring out which bugs mlb.tv didn't fix this season. The answer is usually all of them.

They're opening a barbeque place and a huge beer garden next to stadium this year. Food options are pretty lovely down there but I don't care because I can just metro back home to get food

Miami has the bleakest food situation outside the park that I've seen- we have a Subway wedged between a bunch of empty retail spaces. There is a sports bar a couple blocks away, but I've never met anyone who's been there.

otoh, Loria is gonna be the wild card who offers Harper $45m/yr with Stanton as their new NL/DH, so that's cool
