Hey @KrisBryant_23, sorry for another boring weekend in StL. I think you just need to get out more. There really are fun places you didn’t bother to visit! Like second base!
There is a substantial excerpt on The Ringer from a book about the Astros' development system and how their methods, initiated and delegated by Luhnow, of course, have totally lapped most of MLB.

Yeah I played hookey from work yesterday, but I’m going to work today talking Cardinals and Blues:-). Petty Chicago sports radio was talking white sox instead Cubs(which they NEVER do). The only thing they said about the Cards series is that we were being silly about the KB thing. I gotta try and get this tweet to our local sports radio:-) [Reply]

Mo I’m there, not yet on Schildt. But, we were sold that he was going to be a different manager. Was going to use stats, the new baseball information to help make decisions.
Instead we just get the same lineups, players have to fail for weeks before any change. Pitching Waino was inexcusable. Carp staying at the top of the lineup batting .200 for 33% of the games. Running Wacha out there.
This stubborn Matheny BS that he has to trust his guys. :-) [Reply]
