Many mysteries around next year's Cardinals rotation; Mo wants to add 'three starters'

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:44:28 GMT

ST. LOUIS - If the St. Louis Cardinals hope to prove 2023 is an outlier from their recent track record, getting some improvement from the pitching staff is a must. As a collective unit, the Cardinals pitching staff is up nearly one whole run in ERA from last year (3.79 to 4.53), only averaging around one quality start every three games, and remains near the record pace for most blown saves in a season. One avenue toward fixing this is finding the right combination of hurlers to set the tone for the game. The Cardinals will enter the offseason with several uncertainties in their starting rotation for the first time in several years. Only Miles Mikolas, and presumably Steven Matz if healthy, are good bets to fill a traditional five-man starting rotation. Just about every other possibility is on the table. ‘It’s a good feeling’ : Jordan Walker changes approach for big hit in comeback win This puts the Cardinals in a bit of a precarious situation: Do you promote from within the organ...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:44:28 GMT

People crunch any variety of metrics when settling on a city to visit or live in. Some of these factors have to do with the cost of living or staying, or how easy it is to go around by foot or public transit. Other considerations might be in the architecture, culture, and history of a place. But for many people, there's one prevailing question: Is it any fun?Some cities offer the same degree of fun or even the same type of fun, of course, so how do you figure out where to cut loose? To find out, and because "fun" can be an elusive variable, Stacker referred to WalletHub data which applies science in its methodology.The site compared 182 cities—including the 150 most populated U.S. cities, plus at least two of the most populated cities in each state—across three dimensions: entertainment and recreation, nightlife and parties, and cost.

New Colorado law hides medical debt on credit reports

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 14:44:28 GMT

Under a new Colorado law, any medical debt on your credit report should have been hidden, but it’s a good idea to double-check, according to the Colorado Center on Law and Policy.House Bill 23-1126, which took effect in early August, requires credit reporting companies to remove medical debt from Colorado consumers’ reports. It applies to specialized medical credit cards, but not to debts charged to an ordinary credit card.The new law doesn’t eliminate the debt, but limits who can see it. A separate law passed earlier this year capped the interest rate Colorado residents can be charged on medical debt at 3%, though.An estimated 700,000 people in Colorado have medical debt in collections, which works against them if they need to take out a loan, said Julia Char Gilbert, a policy advocate at the Colorado Center on Law and Policy. Some landlords and employers also check applicants’ credit reports, so an unpaid hospital bill can have repercussions for years after...
