Memphis vs. Colo Springs: Dakota Hudson
Springfield at San Antonio: Chris Ellis
Palm Beach vs. Clearwater: Austin Warner
Peoria at Quad Cities (2): Paul Balestrieri/Kodi WhitleyLove the matchups. Should be a big day system wide…..I’m thinking 4-5. The only question mark of course being who will be dealing for our Chiefs in Game 2 of their twin bill vs that upstart Quad Cities squad from our former Birds satellite. Depending on who gets the assignment, that 4-5 could downgrade to a 3-5. Look for a HUGE day out of Yuan “Pez” Yepez out of Palm Beach and a sparkling mound performance from Chris “The Pelican” Ellis.
Peoria getting peppered in the 4th 11-0 and Palm Beach postponed due to wet weather, so Pez will have to wait anither day to commence his hitting rampage.
Thankfully, for Peoria’s sake (especially their pitching staff) the double header games are only 7 innings. Quad Cities absolutely laid the smackdown on Peoria in the first game 12-0 with Peoria only managing 2 hits (gag!).
Paul Balestrieri – 0.2 IP, 6 H, 6 R, 1 BB, 1 K
Levi MaVorhis – 3.1 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 HRMemphis won 4-0 and Springfield won 7-3.
Peoria and QC go into the 7th inning tied 0-0. Game could be headed to extra innings. Does anyone know if the extra inning rule applies to double header games?
Hudson 6-1 and 2.40ish ERA. Also more strikeouts per 9 innings. With a plus fastball and curve why is he not mentioned as a possible member of the rotation. Also he seems to be improving.
Also good outing by Ellis for Springfield.
We are 3-1 on night. Palm Beach game postponed.
The #STLCards system was 3-1 on Saturday as Peoria split two and Palm Beach was PPD. Our Player of the Day is Memphis' Dakota Hudson, who pitched eight scoreless innings, allowing four hits, striking out nine and walking one. https://t.co/WYOBaArEdW pic.twitter.com/JUhX587QQZ

As expected, a banner day (4-1 including the big club)throughout the Redbird system. The only hiccup being QC getting bombarded in Game 1 of a twin Bill. Primo observation by the esteemed Sooner regarding Hudson. Any and every ML organization not named the Astros have to be drooling like a Bloodhound at the plethora of young Cardinal pitching. We saw just two of them yesterday in the person of Dak Hudson and Chris “The Pelican” Ellis. Leading up to yesterday’s start, you just knew The Pelican was on the precipice of soaring to new heights. How would you like to be in this group of young talented hurlers and having to look up at the Flahertys and Reyes’ of the world? It would be akin to a 6’4″ high school phenom center going to his first day of collegiate practice and seeing all of these 6’10 slam dunking freaks of nature flying all over the court having a field day. That’s all cub fans can talk of these days is what they think is a certainty….the acquisition of Machado. As far as they are concerned it’s a done deal and just a matter of time. I for one an sick and tired of that organization raiding our team…. guys like Marquis, Jay, Jimmy Ballgame and Lackey, just to name a few. And who do we get from them….Fowler! Well that’s Mo’s fault I guess, but you get the point. It’s about time Mo started doing his job by keeping in mind what should be a top priority for a person in his position…..doing whatever he can to stick it to his arch rivals. I believe Theo understands this basic concept, but I’m not sure Mo does. Mo has more trading chips at his disposal than Theo does, thanks to his healthy batch of young farmhands. Baltimore would have to be chomping at the bit to lessen Mo’s load a titch in this coveted department. Unfortunately we can’t realistically keep them all. 25 year old players the caliber of Machado do not become available very often. Could you picture him in a Cards uniform! Manny would look much better in red than in blue anyway……but only if we can lock him up for a few years. Make it happen, Mo!!
