GDT : Cardinals @ Reds (8/17) ~ 12:40pm CDT ~ Doubleheader Game 1

What a horrendous at bat by Fermin.

[12xu]

Fermin hits into a routine 4-3 DP

[82birds]

big inning here for Mathews
top of the order

[Carp4Cy]

Pop up followed by 5-3 gets Quinn out of the inning unscathed!

Very well timed MV that inning.

[Absolut]

Am I the only one who thinks max patkin when they show pop warner?

Fermin is a backup. Unfortunately we have to use backups during DHers. We've just played a ton of those the past 2 years. NLC needs more roofs.

And maybe we could hide Fermin better in a different part of the lineup?

[Lightning Rod]

Mathews old timey windup reminds me of some former Cards pitcher but I can’t put my finger on it.

Curt Simmons?

Very stylish lefty and IIRC he used to drive Aaron crazy.

Often described him as "herky-jerky", lots of motion.

...Cards have had RISP all 3 innings played...only one hit though... That has come to bite them not only early, but possibly later in the game also

We don’t have to bat them 5th behind our hottest batter, though!

OK Quinn don't hang one for Geno..........a nice 5-3 works just fine!

[82birds]

well done mathews but we need more runs

Yes they need to jump all over this Frontier League hurler.......he's like a LH Roycroft.

It will be 61 years ago tomorrow that Aaron hit a HR off Simmons but was called out because the umpire said he stepped out of the batter box.

[Cusecards]

Need at least 5 innings from Mathews.
Effectively wild so far.

[Pura Vida]

MLB is criticized for not adequately marketing its star or up and coming players.

I believe the interviews are a vehicle to try and do this.

Yes they're too long but I can see why its being done.

There are far better ways to market young players. This is aggravating and boring. No one tunes in to WATCH people talk about nothing, while the game is going on.

I'm not arguing that it is I'm just giving a possible reason for it.

I know...really hoping these interviews become less and less, and the audio is fine...we don't need to watch them speak into a mic, while the game is playing in the "background".
