8:40 p.m. RHP Jack Flaherty (3-3, 2.92) vs. RHP Zack Greinke (8-5, 3.41) FOX Sports Midwest/MLB Network/KMOX
Last night’s game is the first that I recall where we wore the navy blue hats, but used the red batting helmets. Usually the club has the blue batting helmets when wearing the blue hats in road games.
But teams are wearing those star-spangled uni’s this week, so maybe that had something to do with it. Either that or they forgot to pack the blue helmets. 🙂
yeah i think it’s the special hats are blue for some reason for the Cardinals…probably has to do with the fact that the DBacks wear the red special ones
still strange they didnt bring the blue batting helmets though knowing that
And your #STLCards right fielder tonight at the #Dbacks: José Martínez.
Toyota Cardinals Live pregame starts at 8:00.

Well, should be interesting to see how that works out for Jmart.
I’d be kind of interested to see if we might be able to hide Martinez a bit if we had Bader in center, to cut down on the ground he had to cover.
Marp singles, Pham with another questionable K… Martinez just missed one, and Ozuna gets rung up on another bad call. I hope this ump gives Flaherty this big a zone as well.
Flaherty gets a groundout, Ks Goldie, then Lamb annoyingly fouls off a ton of pitches before BABIPing one into very shallow center for a single. Pollock up…
Well, putting Jose Martinez in right field isn’t that big of a dropoff after having Fowler there most of the year.
Single by Molina, Gyorko double and Muñoz single ties the game.
Wong smoked sac fly puts the Cards up 2-1.
Hit and run with the pitcher…an interesting choice. Guess they were scared to bunt to Greinke. Ends up in a double play to end the inning.
Jack with a nice 2nd…Greinke is settling in as well. Hopefully Flaherty can hold em down, because I fear 2 runs might be all they get from Greinke for the next 4-5 innings.
All those stupid nibbles. It’s like Molina has forgotten that Flaherty has actual stuff and doesn’t have to play around with hitters like this.
Still wouldn’t matter without that terrible umpire.
Flaherty played with fire that inning and he got burned bad. 4-2 on a Goldschmidt 3 run homer.
The 0-2 junk to Ahmed and the HBP on Jay. Ahead in the count to both of those and Goldschmidt.
Boy you really can here anything when the stadium is half empty in Phoenix. Jack with a couple F bombs!
This is ridiculous. Greinke gets the strike call about 4″ down and away, Flaherty can’t even get a call on a painted corner. There is no doubt who is getting the favorite status in this game.
Hey if he wouldn’t be making mistake pitches ahead in the count he’d likely still be winning. It’s just as much on him as it is the ump.
Sure, that’s true but it’s still something that only one pitcher in this game is stuck dealing with. Greinke has been getting junk called off the plate all night. It’d be nice if it was consistent, is all.
I also put blame on Molina for the Goldschmidt homer. There was no reason to nibble. Goldie struggles on catching up to gas and hadn’t done much against Flaherty to prove he could hit the fastball anyway. Everyone knew an inside pitch probably Ks him.
