I wish that MLB Network would air the Cardinals broadcast more often. I can not stand listening to the Pirates broadcasters, they are boring.

They may be bad, but the absolute worst are the Mariners' announcers, unless one has the mentality of a 10 year old.
Crazy. I wonder if the Cardinals saw this coming or just got lucky. I know health was a problem.

Good to have Marp back tonight. I like Wong batting leadoff I hope he gets more chances.
Bump.
First ever (that's right, EVER) series win against the tribe in 8 tries. Thank God Michael Bourne isn't an inch or two taller. Marp is still the man.

So with Jay going to the DL yesterday we recalled Scruggs who they say is an IF/OF which we know really is only 1B, so why didn't we call up Piscotty? Are we not wanting to start his clock? That seems stupid to me, we should have brought up an OF. We didn't need another 1B player.
Not sure on Piscotty, but Mark Reynolds can play in the OF. Is Grichuk coming back soon?
Piscotty is only hitting .220 at Memphis (Scruggs not much better, though). Maybe Scruggs has been swinging the bat better lately (just speculation).
Scruggs plays outfield. Would be silly to add piscotty to the 40 man and call him up to get a few pinch hit ab's and then send him back as soon as Jay or Grichuk are healthy. No point in starting that clock yet. Let him develop.

I thought Piscotty was on 40 man. My bad

Super Joe not playing well either. The Birds (Moz) got the best of Bosox in this trade.
Mo just said on the Cardinal's broadcast that Grichuk is currently on a plane to St. Louis and should be available tomorrow.

Did Jaime get activated or is he just in town to hang out with the team? I saw him on bench as they were heading to locker room during rain delay.
Hasn't been activated yet but it looks like he could be replacing Lyons in the rotation with Jaime's first start scheduled to be Thursday afternoon in New York against the Mets with Jacob deGrom likely opposing him.

Wow, we really do need Jaime and hopefully he can get back to form. I like Tyler Lyons, but he just wont get past the 5th consistently. I always thought Jaime could be a top 20 pitcher in the league, his stuff was that good he just happened to be robbed by injuries.
Cardinals have brought back up Sam Tuivailala and sent Tyler Lyons down to Memphis.
This move is just to shore up the bullpen for the next few days and is just to set up for Garcia's return from the DL on Thursday in New York.

Former Cardinals pitcher Shelby Miller was 1 out away from a no hitter today. Sure wish we had his innings this year.
ouch!
Matheny announced before tonight's game that Jaime Garcia will start on Thursday in New York.

This is great news.
People have been down on MM in the past and he has made me scratch my head from time to time, but I love how he is handling the club this year. Granted, everything is good when you are winning, but given the hands dealt, he has done terrific. I loved him leaving Lynn in there against Miggy here at the end of the game against the Tigers. The ESPN announcers didn't agree, but this was a message and a passing of the torch for the season to Lance tonight. He may have walked him on 4 pitches, but I liked it.
Against the Marlins....and Heyward is too valuable to us
I mostly agree. And even though he left Lynn in vs miggy, I don't think there was a snowballs chance in hell he was going to see a strike. Unintentioal intentional is what it looked like to me, nobody was going to pitch to him, may as well let Lynn walk him so maness could come in and concentrate on getting the ground ball.
Sure it was the Marlins and yeah, Heyward is valuable but Shelby has a 1.33 ERA so far this season

Yeah Heyward is valuable when he takes proper routes to balls, doesn't drop fly balls after taking pour routes, doesn't turn singles in the doubles, and doesn't lose games for us running the bases like a little leaguer.
Ok yeah I am riding Heyward really hard and I don't know why other than I just haven't been impressed yet.
