Matz getting K’s on the changeup

[1toughdominican]

Lots of empty seats. Looks like a gate of less than 20K.

[jj-cf-stl]

Gorman and Walker tried to show good plate discipline. K and a BB to show for it.

[Hammerfist]

I like the look of Matz so far this season.

[1toughdominican]

Arraez hitting .185…He may get 40 base hits next week.

[1toughdominican]

Amazing turn for the GIDP.

[jj-cf-stl]

Enjoyable D.

[jj-cf-stl]

Matz – 3 IP, 50 pitches

[KeepComingBack]

VS two is a long way from being ready for ML pitching.

[blingboy]

Matz sounds good on the radio. 😉

[jj-cf-stl]

Infield D very solid this game

[jj-cf-stl]

Matz – 68 pitches after 4 IP

[1toughdominican]

Safe as milk at 2B…

[jj-cf-stl]

Walker with a RBI double after his BB, the first AB.

[1toughdominican]

Despite looking overmatched and sitting at 3 for 32, Scott has scored 6 runs. That’s tied for the team lead. Highly unusual.

[RBK]

Burleson has always played mostly vs RHP. That he wasn’t originally in the lineup vs a lefty is nothing remarkable. When he plays vs lefties he does ok.

My prior comment was facetious.

In an admittedly tiny sample, Burleson has a 76 wRC+ against LHP. That means he’s 24% worse than MLB average. If that’s “OK,” I’d hate to see what “bad” looks like.

[jj-cf-stl]

MIA gifts us a run, 2-0 Cardinals after 4. Matz out for the 5th….

[KeepComingBack]

I know He’s scored runs, Dom, but conceding the 3rd out witha man on second is telling. When Noot is activated bye-bye Vic.

[jj-cf-stl]

RBK, Burly does compete well vs lhp’s. The BA & obp are doable, but the slug% is under .300
Vs a lefty if he can just keep the line moving, it’s a win.

[1toughdominican]

Absolutely, KCB. I just thought it was interesting that he’d crossed HP 6 times to tie for the team lead.

[1toughdominican]

Burleson’s contributing less offense than Scotty 2 at this juncture.

[jj-cf-stl]

Herrera wants another game ball, HA!
3-0 us

[1toughdominican]

Yep, Ivan’s finally getting his chance and he’s making the most of it. Good for him.

[jj-cf-stl]

We have many shuttle passes playing for sure.

[1toughdominican]

If the Cardinals can make this 3 run lead hold up they’ll be over .500 for the first time in 1 year and 4 days.
