And I’m not sure about the recent interest in JMart at 1B. So much for going with defense.
July 23, 2018 at 3:29 pm #61658Wong to the DL.
July 23, 2018 at 5:34 pm #61685If Poncedeleon pitches well tonight I wonder if he wouldn’t start Saturday? And I am surprised that they listed MIkolas as the starter for Sunday? I/m surprised with his small pitch count Sunday he wouldn’t be ready for Fridays game. He’s the best we have right now.
July 23, 2018 at 6:12 pm #61695If that is the plan (I haven’t seen the weekend starters listed by the team yet), they may be giving Mikolas a bit more rest. He has not been nearly as sharp his last two starts.
I looked up his career numbers and he has thrown 100 innings only twice. One was last year (188), when he more than doubled his workload from the season before. This year, he is currently at 124 and counting.
July 23, 2018 at 6:20 pm #61697I’m happy to see Poncedeleon getting a shot.
His first out comes on Fowler and Pham nearly colliding in RCF.
July 23, 2018 at 6:26 pm #61698Even if he pitches well,there’s no telling when Scilts will pull him. Look at what happen with Flaherty and Micholas. Our buillpen needs rest. Too much work in the Cubs series.
July 23, 2018 at 6:29 pm #61700I’ve noticed in his last couple AB’s, Martinez is more in the box.Before his back heel would be on the line which I feel was leading him to swing and miss at a lot of outside pitches.
July 23, 2018 at 6:34 pm #61701As the Cardinals play game 100,I am reminded of an old baseball saying.. The first 99 games is just for fun… Now it’s time to get serious. Actually that’s not an old baseball saying. I just thought of it.
July 23, 2018 at 6:36 pm #61703Poncedeleon- Flaherty – Gombers – Gant- Reyes. That very well could be our opening day rotation for the 2019 season.
July 23, 2018 at 6:40 pm #61704There is not much chance that those are our starters next year. Not that it’s a bad potential rotation, just that I can’t see them moving on from Cmart, Wacha, Mikolas and Weaver all at the same time.
July 23, 2018 at 7:04 pm #61708Poncedeleon with a good start so far. The Cards have been stifled by Castillo, however. 0-0
July 23, 2018 at 7:08 pm #61709Give Fowler credit…he made a nice play on that ball.
July 23, 2018 at 7:27 pm #61712Watching Poncedeleon, he was known for having a very good cutter? I haven’t seen it too much yet, it seems. Lots of fastballs and the change up when he’s at two strikes. You’d think the cutter would be good to go to for trying to get some Ks.
July 23, 2018 at 7:34 pm #61713Marp is basically the only reason to watch this team right now, and enjoy it. He’s really a joy to watch hit the ball at this point.
July 23, 2018 at 7:36 pm #61714He’s got some late movement on his fast ball. He’s thrown no breaking balls that I’ve seen.
Carp with a leadoff double. This is where we need to score a couple runs.
July 23, 2018 at 7:37 pm #61715The Cards finally break through with a Yadi single. Yadi gets to 2nd on the throw.
July 23, 2018 at 7:40 pm #617171-0 on the Molina single. Carp should’ve been thrown out easy but the throw was off line and Molina advances.
Then Dejong skies one to CF and Hamilton is damn near at the track and for some reason Molina’s not tagging up. Just a poor base running decision by Yadi. That’s the little things that can lose you ballgames.
July 23, 2018 at 7:44 pm #61718Yep, Yadi might have scored on Ozuna’s fly out. Not sure though. Jmart strikes out. Still 1-0.
July 23, 2018 at 7:57 pm #61721Ponce at 90 pitches after 6.
Now lets see if this manager is smart than the last and gets a guy or two moving in the pen.
July 23, 2018 at 7:58 pm #61722Pham crushes one that Hamilton almost catches. Pham may have come off the bag, and the Reds challenge. Looks like he probably will be out. Gah, if the Cards didn’t have bad luck they’d have none.
July 23, 2018 at 8:01 pm #61723Saying this feels like the classic “Cards miss multiple chances to extend the lead before the bullpen finally breaks and they lose 4-2” game feels redundant at this point.
I just do not trust this team to finish the game.
July 23, 2018 at 8:04 pm #61724Cards up 1-0. Would probably be 3-0 with fundamental base running.
July 23, 2018 at 8:05 pm #61725Tyler Lyons is warming up. Guh. At least Hicks is as well, so they’re not totally punting this one.
July 23, 2018 at 8:07 pm #61726I think maybe this would be the last batter for Poncedeleon if he loses Suarez. He’s really battling.
July 23, 2018 at 8:12 pm #61727Man, so many foul balls right now. Poncedeleon clearly has pretty good stuff and I like what he can bring to this team longer term.
