They can’t even make good contact

[hmoss859]

ugh....whelp...he's thrown out. Close

They have literally all quit and they know it’s OK to quit

Play was worth a challenge Oli

[MIDMOBIRDTWO]

Really looking forward to Liberatore stinkin' up the joint tomorrow.

On the plus side, that'll probably help Canadian-US relations

I helped that a lot when I was in the Navy back in 1971. Fun place for a single guy.

[craviduce]

Mathews back out there...any trouble and they'll probably yank him

he's capable of 100 pitches, if all goes well this inning

[MIDMOBIRDTWO]

ugh....whelp...he's thrown out. Close

They have literally all quit and they know it’s OK to quit

Play was worth a challenge Oli

Sorry, he was clearly out.

[scoutyjones2]

JJW ground out


Walker another KO and the post HR Derby slump continues

Look deeper. It started well before the HR Derby and you know it

Obviously you don't

Walker week before the HR Derby:
7 GP
2 HR
7 RBI's
.346 .370 .615 .986

Walker after the HR Derby:
65 PA
0 HR
5 RBI
.200 .262 .267 .528

I gave 53 games of data...

[craviduce]

these are really good pitches, Okumoto is fighting them off...that change up low was great, he didn't swing

[freed5179]

ugh....whelp...he's thrown out. Close

They have literally all quit and they know it’s OK to quit

Play was worth a challenge Oli

Sorry, he was clearly out.

Looks like he thought it was ball 4.

[craviduce]

nice...great fastball in

1 more out, Quinn

-------------

edit ~ good poise, Quinn...could've folded after the 3rd....good to have a rookie who can go 100pitches

this will get easier with each start....he'll be going 6 and 7 IP before long

[82birds]

Gastellum warming.

[Ozziesfan41]

Nice first start by Matthew’s

[MIDMOBIRDTWO]

The count was 2 and 2.

[11WSChamps]

Not a bad first start for Quinn.

[MIDMOBIRDTWO]

Gastellum warming.

No pressure. We are behind.

Cards have a genius plan of losing to teams to make them think they are still a playoff team making the available player market smaller raising Cards players market value

Matthews' best inning of the game (1-2-3 outs, 10 pitches), but will be his last one, due to 95 pitch count. An EXCELLENT major league debut... Wanna see more of him for sure...
