Hmmm . . . Sticking with Thompson. That wasn’t the plan I just drew up and sent to Ollie. Must be a communication breakdown.
All right then. Well, at least 2 innings from the great Andre P then. Begin to stretch him out. It’s going to be important later. Just like last year.
Nice job by Thompson to befuddle the Braves for an inning and 2/3.
Woodford’s HR/FB luck seems to have come home to roost already. He gave up one, I believe, over all those innings from Sept 2021 through the end of last year. Hopefully he can get it back on track next start.
Stlcard25 – that last one he gave up to Acuna probably could have been caught. I’m fairly confident that Bader would have gotten it. But still, it’s a long long fly ball that you don’t want to see.
So if Flaherty is hurt and Woodford isn’t the answer, who do they go with besides Liberatore in the near term? Hudson? Stretch out Pallante?
No worries Jnevel. I couldn’t help but notice the following ERAs in the box score: Hicks 20.25 (and probably rising), Mikolas 13.50, Woodford 12.46, Helsley 6.75, Monty 5.40, Stratton 5.40. They’ll all be fine. They’re all just trying to set themselves up for the Most Improved Pitcher Award at the end of the season.
It took Jordan 6 pitches to get one in the zone.
But I’m not giving up hope on him. He’s been effective as a reliever. Just had a bad stint as a starter.
Euro, I hope that’s not their plan!
All of those ERAs are likely inflated. But Mikolas is the only one that I’m sure is inflated. The rest could be real or close to reality.
Hicks needs to be sent to AAA if possible or sent packing! His time is St.Louis has run its course! He will benefit from a fresh start and we will obviously benefit by giving up less runs!
Hicks can’t be sent to AAA. So either he figures it out, gets released, or gets traded. I’m hoping for the former. They changed how he’s throwing his breaking pitches this year so it may just take a little adjustment time. But it sure has been ugly so far.
