I think it is fair to say that our two best starters this year have been Pallante and Leahy. Who would have predicted that before the season began?
Burleson’s now up to .290 and leads the entire Big Leagues with 92 RBI’s and places 9th in TB’s. He’s piecing together an across the board first rate season and is amping things up at a time when many players begin to wear down and fade going into the latter half of August. If the Cardinals were somehow able to qualify for a NLWC berth I’d have to say that both he and Walker have to be given serious consideration as NL MVP candidates with Burleson holding a slight edge over Walker at the present time. In any case, those two L/R bats are proving to be a formidable duo representing the teeth of the Redbird batting order.
I wonder if there are any good spots to hideout between games at GABP to make it possible for a fan to see both games of this double-header. Or, maybe you could go incognito and pretend like you were one of the concession guys who prepare those fancy chili dogs. At any rate, you have to be clever and enterprising with an innate ability to think on your feet when faced with these sorts of challenges.
I just now happened to notice that Misiorkowski is currently situated at 13.6 K’s per 9 this season. That’s pretty doggone good when you consider that Ryan, Koufax, R. Johnson or Clemens never came anywhere close to that number.
Yeah 1TD Misorowksi has been down right dominant. He looks even more impressive when you look at it through K% rather then than just the /9 stats. You can walk and/or give up hits to boost your /9 rates since you face more batters. He is at 39.8K%. The next best full season was Spencer Strider at 32.7K% so Misiorowski is blowing the best K% season out of the water.
He is fun to watch. You can tell the Brewers staff just told him that no one can hit his stuff so just throw it down the middle basically. His BB% dropped massively and just the approach you can see. He challenges guys and throws strikes keeping his pitch count down
Reds had bases loaded and nobody out in the bottom of the 1st.

3B Blaze Jordan RI can’t imagine how these pitchers get out there and work in the midwest summer heat with a damp sheep’s wool blanket covering their coconut.
Pallante’s been working around trouble all evening. When he’s absolutely positively had to make a pitch, he’s been a genuine Fed-Ex man…
Yeah, he’s been making pitches to work out of trouble all night, but the well finally dried up. On the upside, he can still get the W but can’t get the L. Hey, it’s something.
