Mike Matheny and the Cardinals are embracing the chance to use technology in the dugout.

The St. Louis Cardinals have begun using iPads in the dugout, with Major League Baseball's permission, for purposes of scouting and viewing charts related to in-game strategy.

It's something MLB has started implementing as means of helping the game advance into today's tech-savvy age. Manager Mike Matheny told Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he and his coaching staff have used one for the past few games as a tool for getting background information on other teams' young September call-ups.
