Cards actually manufacture a run – Fowler steals 2nd, Wong bunts him to 3rd, Garcia sac fly to left. Need to see more of that.
I mean he’s almost been unhittable minus the Hoskins homer.
Matheny had no one warming up. So Jack was out there until he got into real trouble.
Matheny having Flaherty bat in the bottom of seventh at 106 pitches. I wonder if the shaky pen is one reason.
No worries guys…Matheny has got this. Flaherty will bat for himself in the 7th and go back in to start the 8th with 105 pitches. Wonder if Norris is available after getting 4 outs yesterday?
Carpenter with his second double of the day, scores on JMart’s single. 5-1
O’Neill follows up with a single of his own, moving JMart to second.

Oh trust me it’s on his mind.
It worked to stretch Flaherty out. Hicks comes in to get the last out of the 8th, and he will likely pitch the 9th.
So Hicks could’ve gone another inning yesterday?
McCarver and/or McLaughlin openly speculated that perhaps Matheny should’ve gone another inning with Hicks instead of Holland in the 8th, because Hicks had thrown just 12 pitches.
Jordan Hicks' five pitches to Herrera according to Statcast:
104.2 mph sinker
105 mph sinker
104.3 mph sinker
105 mph sinker
103.7 mph sinker#stlcards #cardinals #MLB— Derrick Goold (@dgoold) May 20, 2018
O`Neill with 3 hits today including a HR.The kid is definately making a case for continued playing time.Now just get Fowler out of town someway.
Much to get excited about! In very short order, we could have the two livliest arms ( Flaherty & Reyes ) in the St. Louis rotation since Dizzy & Daffy Dean dazzled the Cardinal opposition. Let’s see Schwarber, Rizzo, Bryant & Baez try to hit those two runaway freight trains! And how about O’Neill. Righty,lefty, knuckleballer, sidearmer…who cares…you leave him in there for the rest of the year. Now get “The Rock” (Schrock) up here and the Brewers, Pirates and cubs can all battle it out for second place and a possible wild card slot.
