Springfield 8, Wichita 1 ; Top 9th
Brycen Mautz ~ 5 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 3 BB, 4 K, 1 HR, 1 HBP.
Randel Clemente ~ 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 2 K, 1 WP
Tyler Bradt ~ 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K
Chase Davis ~ 1-5, HR, 2 K....quietly has the OPS over .700 ....considering his free fall after the 2nd week of the season, I'd say that's a pretty good ASB to Now to get back over .700. He still has a LONG ways to go if he expects to get to the Majors. He pounds the ball into the ground way too much. But (bleep)...can he catch anything in the OF...he's a monster defender.
Josh Baez ~ 2-3, HR, Single, 2 Runs, SB, HBP
Zach Levenson ~ 2-4, HR, Double, 2 RBI, K
Ramon Mendoza ~ 1-3, HR, 2 Runs, K, BB
Graysen Tarlow ~ 2-4, 2 Singles, Run...fly ball falls infront of the CF...CF went back on contact...big misplay. Mendoza to 2B.
Brody Moore ~ 2-4, 2 Singles, Run, RBI...dink into RCF, plate Mendoza...Tarlow to 3B
Noah Mendlinger ~ 1-4, Single, RBI
Leonardo Bernal ~ 0-4, 2 K.
this win will put the Springfield Cards 33 games over .500. If they go .500 the rest of the way, they'll shatter their best season ever...set last year (2024) at 20 games over .500. That's how dominant this team is....there was a stretch that spanned nearly 6 weeks where they lost only 3 or 4 games before the ASB and JJ's promotion

Re: Minor League Updates (8/14) ~ Cards System
Crave , do you think Church could be a starter in the OF for the Cardinals in 2026? Could he replace Victor Scott in CF?
Re: Minor League Updates (8/14) ~ Cards System
I'm all for it. VS2 is what he is...80 speed, gets to balls no one else can get to in the OF. No power to take the ball the other way, thus the continued pop ups to SS/LF. When he pulls a ball it's on the ground to 2B.redbirdfan51 wrote: ↑14 Aug 2025 22:12 pm Crave , do you think Church could be a starter in the OF for the Cardinals in 2026?

Church will likely be singles hitter in the Majors...I think he can hit at the next level. At least I hope.

Re: Minor League Updates (8/14) ~ Cards System
i think he'll be more than a singles hitter. I'm betting a doubles guy who, after a year, manages 15-18 HR's and few will run on him...as he challenges the majors with put outs. he will, IMO, be a spark plug thay makes this team competitive along wIth JJ and Crooks.craviduce wrote: ↑14 Aug 2025 22:38 pmI'm all for it.

Winn will get past his sophomore phenomena and get serious recognition as a SS. If Walker breaks out next year the only thing holding us back is pitching...which could be better.
You heard it here first.

Re: Minor League Updates (8/14) ~ Cards System
I like what I have seen from Church so far. I don’t expect him to be a middle of the lineup thumper, but why a singles hitter? I am hoping for a replacement for Noot with better skills.craviduce wrote: ↑14 Aug 2025 22:38 pmI'm all for it. VS2 is what he is...80 speed, gets to balls no one else can get to in the OF.
