Sounds like he did pretty well. Rosenthal ... not so much.

Another good outing for Wacha.

qwerty1500 · 04-01-2013, 06:18 AM

Opening day!!! I'm excitied about all of the young talent. It will be interesting to see if they can perform up to expectations.

688sonarmen · 04-01-2013, 06:50 AM

Start time is 930pm CT I may catch the 1st few innings. Miller has the ball Saturday, that will be one to watch!

qwerty1500 · 05-29-2013, 06:44 AM

Wow ... what a season so far. Who would have imagined that the three teams with the best records in MLB would be in the NL Central?

The young players have been every bit as exciting as I hoped they would be. Now .... Wacha!!! He was amazing during spring training and has been lights-out in AAA. A lot of pressure on this young man ... less than 12 months since his last pitch in college ball. It will be interesting to see how he handles it. Wish I had tickets for Thursday night.

688sonarmen · 05-30-2013, 02:54 PM

I'm with you! Wacha makes the 3rd call up so far and I'm really not getting my hopes up for tonight. It would be a 4 game sweep and just unbelievable to have another rookie ace. I hope I'm wrong. The Cards are playing outstandingly across the board as well, how about all the RBI's spread over the line up? Lastly did you see the catch Mohica made last night in the bullpen?

qwerty1500 · 05-31-2013, 05:25 AM

Missed the bullpen catch. Also went to bed after Wacha sat down ... glad I did.

Other than Wacha, we could have used some of those RBI's last night. They left way too many runners in scoring position. Holliday seemed to have missed a lot of chances to put this game away.

Boggs ... what can I say? Don't know why they put him in to get the save. The boy seems to be disaster waiting to happen.

Wacha didn't disappoint. Don't know about rookie ace but time will tell. Was impressed that he settled down after they got a couple of hits and scored a run. Says something about his temperament. Also noticed that he only threw a very few curve balls and that is suppose to be his best pitch.

I am curious about something I saw. He seemed to tip his cap, just slightly, after every inning as his stepped over the first base line. Acknowledging the fans or superstitious?

Anyway, if he continues to pitch like he did last night, he will be a terrific addition to the rotation.

688sonarmen · 05-31-2013, 05:39 AM

Yup, Boggs. Ryan Franklin comes to mind, but he was a great closer at one time (Franklin). I think Manass, could have been left in. Or even have Kozma close it out, LOL! But, Kozma has really impressed me this year with his fielding. I did not see the cap tip but I thought I noticed his knee go up slower with every change up. Giants are up next and no disrespect to the Royals but it will be good to see the Cards play a team that is doing something.

The bullpen catch was the night before last, check out the highlight reels I'm sure its on there!

qwerty1500 · 06-01-2013, 07:25 AM

Rain ... rain ... rain. At least it's a good day for Boggs to pack his bags for a little trip to Memphis.

Amen! Double header today, I hope mlbtv wont black both games out.

688sonarmen · 06-01-2013, 01:29 PM

Cards sensed blood in the water from Cain and went into the 2 out piranha mode.

qwerty1500 · 06-01-2013, 06:34 PM

Let's play two. Oh no ... another left-hander.

Oh well ... guess I will just have to relax, watch Wanno and enjoy my martini and this 98 Boli PC.

qwerty1500 · 06-01-2013, 07:17 PM

6-1 DP ... Wow ... Cool

qwerty1500 · 06-01-2013, 07:25 PM

Btw ... Thr Boli was OUTSTANDING!

The cigar I was smoking. Don't know which was better, the cigar or Wanno's CG. Sorry you missed it ... a Wainwright classic.

Ok

I don't understand why they carry national broadcasts the way they do. Usually masn has the Nationals games, but yesterday they showed the Oriels to make room for the Nationals Braves on Fox. I would expect Fox to carry the Cards since it is out of market and Masn to carry the Nationals as usual. Oh well, Ill check out the recapture on mlbtv.

688sonarmen · 06-02-2013, 08:10 PM

I can't believe that Yaddi was tossed today. From what I am reading he knew he was out and that's why he threw the helmet, because it was a rally killer. I'm hoping he does not get a suspension from how he handled it afterward, but to be honest he probably will.
Freese played a hell of a game on D and Kozma was fine as usual.

Yeah, he probably will, but haven't heard anything yet. Yadi could use a short break ... he has been wanting to play every day ... kind of surprised he didn't play both games of the DH.

Hope the Cards play the Diamondbacks better than they did to start the season.

688sonarmen · 06-04-2013, 06:21 AM

1 game suspension that is being appealed. I personally think he should have gotten more, no excuse for his blow out after the call.

Great game last night, the signature 2 out rally aka blood in the water piranha mode was in full effect!
