While I’m in no way an ardent follower of the minor league teams, I do check in on the Cards lower level teams from time to time. It’s nice to see that the Memphis Redbirds are doing well at 57-48. Same with Springfield at 63-38. Those are the most important teams, in my opinion, because the MLB team likely will be fed from those two. The other 4 minor league teams are mostly development groups: D-Cards are 22-22, Palm Beach is 48-51, Peoria is 40-60 and PMB is 48-50. Hopefully those who came to the Cards at the trade deadline and those who were recently drafted will help spark a resurgence with some of the teams.

105 exit velo single for Church. Lots of runners here to start, but they just turned a double play.

4-0 Memphis

Was wondering when I would see Beavers connect with one. Launched a home run off the scoreboard in right center

First pitch next batter is launched toward the same spot, but Church makes the running catch at the wall. Good play

And then Basallo hits a bat dropping shot to center for a home run off the batter's eye.

Plesac pitching so.. expected.. but yikes

Nice diving play by Blaze on a squibber down the 1st base line

4-2 Memphis

[cosmo.kramer]

Leadoff walk for Siani. Might be a high scoring one this afternoon

[cosmo.kramer]

104 line drive single to left center for Wetherholt

5-2 Memphis

[cosmo.kramer]

103 fly out to dead center for Church

[cosmo.kramer]

105 shot into the river in right, geez. Crooks home run

7-2 Memphis

[cosmo.kramer]

Church has a 105 and a 103 today, and the last three batters are 104, 103, 105. That's a lot of hard contact

The top six in the Memphis lineup today could probably help the Cardinals fairly soon.
