bccran, the comparison was targeted to those who want Schrock promoted now to replace Wong in the lineup. It seems clear he is not yet ready.
The Cards lead is 2-1 heading into the seventh. Could not convert a good opportunity – a leadoff double in B6th.
The cleanup hitter Ozuna being double-switched out of the game with three innings remaining says a lot about this offense and perhaps his arm as well. Bader into the game as his replacement.
P.S. While that could lead to Hicks pitching multiple innings, there are nine relievers on the roster. Further, Hicks has bases loaded and no out. He may not survive one inning, let alone two.
