9 innings 16 K's. Peoria. Maybe it's working.

Interesting anecdote
The Cards have been focusing on K's vs pitch to contact.

Interestingly, in the Palm Beach game the Cards pitching rang up 14 K's over 8 innings. As 8 innings imply, not a good outcome. Still, lots of K's in our future I think.

Re: Interesting anecdote
16 Ks and 2 BB for Peoria is much better than 14 Ks and 9 BBs for Palm Beach!

Indeed. Seems BBs is often a shortcoming of power pitching.cardstatman wrote: ↑05 May 2026 22:48 pm 16 Ks and 2 BB for Peoria is much better than 14 Ks and 9 BBs for Palm Beach!

C. Bloom immediately identified this problem and has loaded the system w/high octane flame throwers.
Sure they'll likely need a lot of work harnessing that power but if they do, watch out!
