Pham and Martinez both bailed Berrios out of batters counts by swinging at borderline pitches. Makes it look like an easy inning, but he did not have good command there.
Flaherty with the 97 mph heat in that first plate appearance by Mauer.
Other than that, Jack is not being too efficient. Gotta start hitting his spots.
It’s early, but this one has the sinking feeling of a game where the pitcher just has the Cards’ number…once again.
Cards offense in form again tonight. Six up, six down, with three batters having completely bailed out Berrios by swinging at poor pitches when ahead in the count. Flaherty need to have an efficient 2nd.
How can you not think of indulging in a bowl of Cheerios everytime you see Berrios name flash across the screen?
Bader is a natural defender…plain & simple! Remember that old game “Defenders”? Harrison would absolutely kick butt in it….now Flair picks off the runner at 1st!
Getting the feeling that Flair is starting to settle in very nicely in this one. Should end up being a dandy of a pitched game for his 6 innings of labor.
A solid effort by Flaherty, and does appear to have settled in a bit. Hope he keeps it up second time through the order. I’m not sensing a lot offense by the birds for some reason.
In all the games I’ve watched this year, Ozuna has rarely looked on balance. I suppose I didn’t pay close attention when he was with the Marlins but has he always looked so off balance??
As usual, your senses are as keen as a German Shepherd’s, Euro. I see Booyah and stlcard25 are in the house too….sweet!
No doubt about Ozuna lacking balance. It seems like that would tend to make him a hot / cold kind of batter. Don’t know if that’s been his history. So far we’ve seen the struggling arc of that pendulum…hope it swings to the other side soon.
Flaherty using the curve more than I expected. It’s got decent movement but he’s struggling to command it. That 2-0 fastball to Escobar had nice movement too. Unfortunately, the next pitch was striped up the middle to put the runner on.
I bet Flaherty never sees another Minor League park again….unless it’s a rehab assignment. The pitches are mounting though….63 thru 4 now as he finally puts away Kepler. Braves and cubs embroiled in a 1-1 game at Wrigley in the 5th and the Bucs are having their way with the ChiSox 6-0 in the 6th….but who doesn’t treat the White Sox rudely???
Kelly made decent contact there but didn’t have the juice to send it out to straight center.
Flaherty could really use a quick inning here. Would be very good to get six innings from him.
