Carlos scratched for “personal reasons”. Bud Norris to start.

[Cardinals27]

I really don’t understand giving Norris starters innings. His history does not give great confidence. I guess he can just hold down a spot until one of our kids is ready, particularly Reyes. And what about Gomber? I’d rather see him given a real chance, with no other lefties in the rotation.

[Nathan Leopold Jr.]

His performance today does not give great confidence.

Bye Mr. Gilmartin.

[BlackHillsCard]

I know its early, but after today I don’t want to see Bud Norris starting another game. Gilmartin pitched well in his previous outings but he’ll be one of the first ones cut after today.

[BlackHillsCard]

Numerous twitter accounts (Rob Rains, Jose Ortiz, Joe Trezza) are reporting Norris suffered left hamstring spasms.

[Brian Walton]

Cards lose 9-6 to fall to 3-4-1 on the spring. Norris took the loss after giving up five. Gilmartin was charged with three more. Bader had three hits, including two doubles.

I don’t think it means much who starts games until next week…

But Bud Norris shouldn’t be considered a starter at all at any point in his stay here in STL.

[Cardinals27]

What a strange play in the 9th. Red Sox shortstop boots the ball towards their 2nd baseman, who is standing on the base and gets the force out. Very lucky.
