Jack Flaherty’s artful, 10-strikeout dominance leads Cardinals to 18-1 romp vs. Brewers
Nolan Arenado's homer in the first seizes lead, and home runs from Nolan Gorman, Tommy Edman, and Andrew Knizner (grand slam) punctuate homecoming rout.
‘Jack set the tone’: Flaherty delivers loud statement in Cardinals’ romp. But he wasn’t alone
Mother always knows best as Flaherty heard a familiar voice that he didn't expect but could always recognize, just as he struck out his 10th batter in 18-1 win.
Minor notes: Cardinals prospect Ivan Herrera finds hard contact, Jake Walsh shows consistency
Through the first month and a half of the Class AAA season, Ivan Herrera has produced exit velocities of 113 and 112 mph along with improved slugging.
Contreras did nothing illegal. The pitcher went into the stretch before the batter was set which is illegal.

I had to watch all 3 Cardinals-Red Sox games on NESN and the announcers and post game crew are as dumb as a box of rocks.....they were whining about the pitch violation calls and never understood that it's a violation for the pitcher to come to a set stretch position with the batter still out of the batters box....I mean anyone could see why the calls were made but those announcers even wanted the Red Sox to protest the games .......lol.............
Contreras was playing with Jansen's mind by staying out of the box untill 10-12 seconds was left on the pitch clock .....fully legal
Thank you, but I understand that. I just don't understand how Jansen can have the motion he does every time someone is on base, it should be a balk every time he pitches. He basically fake pitches, stops, then fidgets around and never actually sets. People say its part of his motion, well, his motion is a balk, I don't care if you do it every time. That's like saying, I'm not speeding because I always set my cruise at 90.
Same way the guys who tap their foot 3 or 4 times before coming set aren't called for a balk. Kenley doesn't come set before he does his little hitch with his shoulders so it's fine. He does actually come to set after that though.

Prospect Matthew Liberatore will start vs. Brewers as Cardinals shift (briefly?) to 6-man rotation
Veteran Adam Wainwright will shift back to start Thursday against Dodgers, baking in an extra day for the rotation in a stretch of 18 games in 18 days.
Minor league report: Cardinals prospect Cooper Hjerpe K’s six in first-career quality start
Cooper Hjerpe provided six innings for Class High-A Peoria on Tuesday as he allowed two runs, both of which came on a first innings home run.
Brewers’ ace reliever Devin Williams cools Cardinals, quashes late threats to secure 3-2 win
Cardinals get tying run in scoring position in eighth and ninth innings but cannot crack Milwaukee's closer and Hazelwood West grad Williams in his first five-out save.
Solid outing by Liberatore! I have wanted him called up for weeks.
See how long the 6 man rotation works out.....

Only shame about this series is that with the reduced divisional schedules this season, these two teams won't meet again until mid-September when the Cardinals host the Brewers for a 4 game series with the Cardinals only other road series in Milwaukee happening on the final road trip of the season.
The Cardinals host the Dodgers for a 4 game series starting tomorrow night. After this weekend, they won't play the Dodgers again the rest of the season.

I'm getting to basically dislike the new scheduling format. Way too many interleague games, not enough divisional games.

Roster shuffle welcomes Oscar Mercado to majors with club he was drafted by: Cardinals Extra
After getting drafted in 2013 and traded in 2018, Oscar Mercado joined the Cardinals' active roster for the first time in his career.
Gordo: 9 principles the Cardinals should adhere to for bolstering their pitching staff
Here are nine principles the Cardinals should adhere to while they make pitching an even greater priority during this challenging transition period.
While I get the argument you're making, the new format will allow us to see who the best team actually is during the regular season. Rather than a team feasting off games where they're in a bad division and playing games against teams like the A's or Royals.

I would love to see more feasting off the weak NL Central by the Cardinals!
I would too but we see how it has hurt them in most postseasons recently.
