He's a fine replacement-level player; he's just doesn't have a real high ceiling on anything. No power, no speed, decent average/defense/arm, though.

Holy shipwreck! If the Cards win this game they're only 3.5 GB of the 2nd wild card?

Hahah, who would have ever thought that after July.

I hope you are right! He has not struggled that long yet and is only 23.

I'd still like to see him dominate AAA before jumping to MLB.
He was much better hitting in AAA this year than last but his defense might have taken a step backward. Still okay but I guess I was hoping for well above average.

Libby...lead off walks. Not a good answer when given a lead...then smacked hard the next AB. VS2, be thankful for him

I hear what you’re saying. He certainly hasn’t put up the same numbers as he did in AA. He’s also always going to strike out a lot too. I just like the direction he’s going with the added playing time he’s gotten. I feel he could be the back up infielder next year, and play 2 or 3 times a week, especially against south paws.

good play...DP, Gorman

5-3 DP. Well done.

...nice 5-3 DP gives Liberatore a shutdown 2nd... Cards should add on in 3rd if possible...

Noot 2-2

Next time we need the double before the GIDP.

I don’t understand why Oli doesnt hit and run more, especially with Herrera!

Bisonator!

single and a double but in between a GIDP

...rally-killer 6-4-3 DP is answer from Seattle. And Burleson goes oppo also... Why couldn't Herrera have done that...??
