7:10 p.m.
RHP Jack Flaherty (8-1, 2.90) vs. LHP Mike Minor (8-10, 5.39)
BSM // KMOX
Also BSSW+ in Oklahoma and Arkansas and BSSO in TN, KY and MSGlad Jack’s first start at this level is in a DH game. Would rather not see him hit or run the bases at this point.
I don’t trust the Cardinal’s decision making process in bringing him back.
Look what happened earlier with Mikolas against the Cubs.
Hell just look at the entire season with the pitching staff.
Squeaking into the playoffs this year is a loooooong shot. Risk vs. Reward would seem to lead to a different decision. I guess since the injury was not arm related they feel comfortable enough….
#stlcards have officially activated Jack Flaherty and placed Wade LeBlanc on the 10-day IL with what as of now they are calling “left elbow.”
Awaiting word on the 40-man move.

I really wish Shildt would STOP batting Goldschmidt 2nd and Arenado 3rd. If this was 1987 the lineup would look something like this:
Coleman
Clark
Herr
McGee
Pendleton
Porter
Pena
Smithor in 1998 the lineup would be:
Deshields
McGwire
Jordan
Gant
Gaetti
Lankford
Clayton
PagnozziYeah, I don’t like Shildt’s batting orders at all. I would shake it up some and go this way.
Edman
Sosa
Arenado
Goldschmidt
ONeill
Rondon
Molina
DeJong
BaderWell our offensive start is pretty bad. Two guys just looking at third strike go buy. Minor is basically an average pitcher. At one time I thought he was good but no reason not to be hitting him now. But you do have to swing the bat to hit the ball.
Good to see those dingers. Nice double by Yadi but they have to get them in when you get that guy on 2nd!
Well great pitching so far by flaherty now McFarland. Our lack of offense has kept the game close though so anything can happen these last two innings.
Bader’s at bats have turned into a circus. Shimmy, flip the bat in the air between pitches, strike out, and slam the bat down so hard it bounces way up in the air.
Well a couple of runs there was good. Good running and situational hitting. But now we didn’t even have a infielder on the right field side of second base and instead of a double play we have two runners on. I just don’t understand. I can see shading him closer up the middle with your second baseman but to have him completely behind or to the third base side is silly.
Oh back to calling out players again. Funny I see other guys slam bats down all the time but never called out.
Gallegos has been iffy at best lately, slowly losing it and we don’t have anyone warming up. Maybe he gets out of it but still just wrong.
