  • After their latest rookie pitcher blew a Gast-ket (Wacha Wacha), the St. Louis Cardinals have called up another pitcher to take over the Lyons-share (Wacha Wacha) of innings left by injuries while Carpenter builds (Wacha Wacha) himself up to return to the field. Sorry, those were awful. I’d promise not to do it again, but…

  • We here at View From The Pine love two things. One of those things is gifs. In hopes of keeping the MLB off our back for creating baseball gifs we decided to add our second love into the mix, sandwiches. The result is Players Catching Sandwiches™. Our first comes from Brett Gardner and his obvious…

  • Buckle up because we’re about to take a one-way trip to Scandal Town! News out of Philadelphia today that everyone’s favorite Cuban defector, Aroldis Chapman, may have pulled a Babe Ruth and downed 18 pastries before serving up two of his own to the Phillies in the form of back-to-back homers, resulting in his second…

  • The stadium nachos. A food that’s been written about in the Smithsonian (website), hass become a staple of the American ballpark. Nothing quite says baseball like missing an inning and a half waiting in line to drop $20 on a beer and a pile of kinda-stale-but-whatever tortilla chips doused in the finest liquid cheese that…

  • The St. Louis Cardinals took on the Colorado Rockies over this weekend, and the series was hallmarked by great starting pitching. The Cardinals bullpen didn’t even make an appearance until game 3. Which also marked the Rockies first baserunner to reach third base. At one point, before Adam Wainwright issued a walk to Todd Helton…

  • Former St. Louis Cardinals’ third baseman, and the only man to hit two grand slams in the same inning has an extremely entertaining twitter. His feed is currently unverified, so there’s a chance it is fake, but it is nuanced just enough to make you believe it’s the real deal. This isn’t the first time…

  • Kozma may not be the most graceful shortstop, but as long as he keeps hitting .313 in a 4 game sweep of the Brewers he can face-plant into second base all he wants. Well, as long as he still manages to complete the double play.
