Not the most impressive outing from Mathews. Really struggling with the strike zone. Our hopes that he would be ready to help the Cardinals next year seem to be just that. Lots of hope.

Matthews has struggled with his control which seems like most of the season. He really doesn't have the look right now of being i the Cards rotation.

Antico loses his shoe rounding 3B on Wetherholt's RBI Double.

Agree, I'm eager to see him promoted, but you just can't until he gets a handle on the walks.

he tends to do better vs. aggressive teams. Makes me wonder vs. a team like the Brewers who are aggressive at the plate, he may do well. Vs a team that likes to take pitches, he would be his own worst enemy. Not many batters square up on his pitches, we know that...but just can't command that fastball for the life of him.

thx Duce for these updates
much appreciated, as always
