Who would have thought a month or two ago that today’s starters at AAA and AA would be Hudson and Matz.
Hudson will be starting for Cleveland in April 2023. He’ll be a part of the Triston McKenzie deal! (A guy can dream, right?)
Matz went an inning and a third, struck out three. The box score says he walked three but I only count two.
I guess this explains it:
Matz is on the hard pitch count at 30, so he'll exit the game with a 3-1 count to the 2nd batter of the 2nd inning. He threw 15 of 30 pitches for strikes even though he was right around the zone the entire start.

All indications are that when Matz rejoins the Cardinals he will work out of the bullpen for the remainder of the season.
Yep. The bullpen is starting to look better with some guys coming back. The one question would be who takes the lefty spot(s) beyond Matz. Thompson seems a solid bet, but probably not Romero.
The #STLCards system was 2-2 on Tuesday. TCN’s Players of the Day are Memphis 1B Juan Yepez, 3-for-5 with a HR and 3 RBI, and Dakota Hudson with 8 2/3 scoreless IP. Other standouts: Kramer Robertson, Cory Spangenberg, L.J. Jones & Gustavo Rodriguez. (free) https://t.co/ceQL2ITyfz pic.twitter.com/CF5cxQpjog

Brian left Alec Burleson out of his comments on Memphis. He had 3 hits and an RBI and raised his BA to .331.
Antico has been very solid this year. The speed may get him to the big leagues even if the bat doesn’t get any better. He’s got to be on the radar for the OF in a couple years.

Thank you for the correction, GameCard. I was wondering the same thing.
Marilyn Green is the author. I am the editor.
The two of you apparently missed this:
“Alec Burleson plated Hurst on a single.”
and this:
“Burleson was 3-for-5 with an RBI.”
Thanks. The “cover” post by the facilitator at 6:58am didn’t mention that. But the full write up did.
Glad the Memphis reporter included it.Twitter has a character limit. Memphis scored 12 runs and was just one of four games so putting everyone in the headline is not practical. Others had bigger games than Burleson in our view. I get that certain players are hot buttons for certain posters, but actually reading the article first before piling on would be appreciated.
I appreciate the folks who decide on the Players of the Day and notable players…a few players like Walker and Burleson probably could be picked most every day but I’m glad others get highlighted.
Thanks, stlcard25. We aren’t perfect, but it is a lot of work to bring these FREE recaps of every game every morning for six months straight. Glad that it is not always taken for granted.
Recaps are great. Thanks for doing them. Some of us just look at the box scores everyday. Quick check.
BTW, besides Williams, it sure seems like the other three guys will have a good shot at making it to the majors, possibly all as starters. I like the potential there.
At the risk of pushing the merry-go-round to keep it turning, does anyone know who leads all AAA players (30 teams) in BA? And whose 2nd among all AAA players (30 teams) in slugging percentage? And who leads all AAA players (30 teams) in RBI? And is the only player in all the the minor leagues who has a K rate under 15% and 20 or more HRs?
So with the Burleson news, is there a chance that Walker gets bumped to Memphis, or is that roster fully stocked already?
The #stlcards system was 2-2 on Wednesday. The Cardinal Nation’s Player of the Day is C Leonardo Bernal, whose three-run homer powered Palm Beach to a win in extras. Other standouts include Todd Lott, Tommy Parsons, Aaron McKeithan, and Tink Hence. (free) https://t.co/GGESTy6xrG pic.twitter.com/5etGvhoKg7
