GDT: Cards @ Pirates (4/8) ~ 5:40pm CDT

[82birds]

more great D from Burly

[12xu]

Great play by Burleson!

[Shady]

From what I've seen, recently, Burleson is superior to Contreras, defensively, at 1B.

[todd-parker]

Contreras getting sized up for his golden sombrero as we speak.

Hat shop on line 1

[Alex Reyes Cy Young]

From what I've seen, recently, at 1B defensively. Burleson is superior to Contreras.

Split them, Burley starting first basemen vs RHP and let WC start vs LHP. That would be the logical move.

[82birds]

a single, but....

4-6-3

[Alex Reyes Cy Young]

Donovan playing wonderfully. That stroke is nice!

[82birds]

Donny Gamer leadoff double

[LewisL]

From what I've seen, recently, at 1B defensively. Burleson is superior to Contreras.

Split them, Burley starting first basemen vs RHP and let WC start vs LHP. That would be the logical move.

Somewhat redundant, they already alternate between DH & 1B, while Burly has been sitting for Baker vs. LHP.

[swatski]

From what I've seen, recently, at 1B defensively. Burleson is superior to Contreras.

Burleson was a first baseman/pitcher in college

[NYCardsFan]

From what I've seen, recently, Burleson is superior to Contreras, defensively, at 1B.

Coming into tonight:

Player/DRS/OAA/FRV

Burleson: -1/-1/-1 (27.0 innings)

[82birds]

Donovan playing wonderfully. That stroke is nice!

3 hits last night
2 tonight

[Jackie Chiles]

Pham reminds me of that old time baseball card when I was a kid that had the player pictured with a suitcase with a bunch of team's names on it.

Or the Old-timers games with all the teams on the front of one jersey.

[82birds]

wild pitch on ball 4 to Nado advances Donny to third

Burly, first pitch swinging, RBI single
Nado to third

[Alex Reyes Cy Young]

Walker wanted to snap that bat.

[Voldemort]

Walker is having better plate appearances. Too bad he chased on that last pitch.
