The bite on Cecils breaking pitch was nasty.
If he can keep that up and be accurate enough to be able to throw that pitch he could be a big weapon
John Gant starts Monday against the Marlins and will pitch two innings. Followed by Helsley for 2, and then 1 for Fernandez, Thompson, Seijas, Liberatore, Whitley. #stlcards

I didn’t realize the Mets were playing split squad games yesterday so we didn’t get a peak at some of their big guns and we held back Wong, DeJong and Bader for today’s game at Pt St Lucie with them
Some former Cards spotted in the box scores – Pete Kozma played some 2b for the Braves and got a hit. Jose Martinez played FIRST BASE and got a hit for TB. Randy Aroz also played RF for the Rays and chipped in a double. Matt Adams played for the Mets split squad against the Marlins
Question: Noticed in the box score that Lane Thomas was given a Caught Stealing but was awarded the base because the pitcher balked. Could not the balk have resulted in the CS and just either a steal or no play awarded?
Another Question: How ya gonna keep Carlson down on da farm if he continues getting 2 hits and an rbi in every game? I know, I know, it’s what’s best for da team. But da boy duz have a gud stroke does he not?
Carlos Martínez will follow Wainwright’s two innings/35 pitches today as well. #STLCards https://t.co/jygtgFnBKi

Well, his competition to start in left hit a HR with 115 mph exit velo. So there’s that…
Bader leading off should be interesting. Nice to see Carlson and some of the other good prospects getting more game time.

Hmmm, I can see already that we are picking sides…lol I like ONeil too but there may be room for two extra OFs. So far Carlson hasn’t come down with the ‘wiffer bug.’ I think Springfield was ready to name a street for him…..lol.
I will side with MM3. If Carlson gets 2 hits and an RBI every game they wont be able to send Carlson down. But if a few of those games he only gets one hit – he’s out of here!
Early start for today’s game and I know most of you will be in church. The game will be shown later on MLB around dinner time.
By process of elimination…
Austin Gomber indeed starts Tuesday for the #stlcards. Alex Reyes to follow.

Thanks CC. Another thought. If Harry’s son has a bad looking bat in ST and if he has options might he not be sent down to ‘rehab his bat.’ His last rehab worked wonders but they turned out to be temporary wonders. Ahh such fun is theorizing based on spring training.
Very, very small sample but appeared that O’Neill was more patient and more selective at the plate.
Tyler O’Neill with K and BB rates near what he put up in Memphis in 2018 is a perennial All Star.
Carlson would have to have a in his prime Pujuols like spring to go north with the team. I think it is in everyone’s best interest if he starts in Memphis.
Bader HR to CF in the first gave the Cards a brief lead, but Wainwright gave it back on a Marisnick long ball in the second.
Wainwright needed 39 pitches to get through 1 2/3 innings. Pulled after walking the no. 9 hitter Tebow. Angel Rondon in.
Martinez struggled more than Wainwright. Leaves at 35 pitches with one run already in, the bases loaded and one out in his second inning of work.
As good as Flaherty, Hudson and Kim looked yesterday, Wainwright and Martinez were shaky today.
Not smart baseball.
Same with Williams yesterday. I guess the marginal roster guys feel like they’ve got to make a splash and end up doing dumb things
Unfortunatley, CMart picking up where he left off last year.
Last I knew, Pugs was having problems with his phone making comments on the forum. Haven’t heard from him in several weeks.
Mets lead 3-1 in the fifth. Ramon Santos did as good as he could considering the mess he inherited. Max Schrock made a nice running catch.
Wished Rondon would have pitchded longer. Santos might be an interesting pitcher to watch. He is striking out more batters. Granted, at lower level minors.
Not disrespecting Waino, but I’d like to see one of our youngsters shine, and maybe use Waino out of the pen. He’d be a heck of weapon. But there is lot of games to be played. It is pretty cool to watch all of these pitchers on a starters program.
