I don't doubt it, the broadcasters on FSMW tend to be on the optimistic side.

Reynolds has 3 walks? Is the world about to come to an end?

I'll take the over on 92

He's a 3 true outcome player and has been for most of his career.

Let him go up there, take some walks, hit some bombs and strike out. You can't have a lineup full of those guys but they have a place and Mabry's attempts to turn him into...well, another Mabry....are just foolish.

Get that walk rate back up to the 12% range and his ISO back to .200+ and there's no reason why he can't continue be valuable. He'll be limited, but still valuable.

Piscotty hit the ball hard twice tonight. Almost got his first home run. And of course he looked way over matched in his two other AB's.

**BigRedChief** · 07-21-2015, 10:06 PM

FSM tweet. Both knew immediately.

I don't know, don't be so quick to dismiss the idea. Every time Frazod got wound up about Holliday, Holliday would go on a run of good AB's.

I like him where he is supposed to be, off the bench and fill in for the occasional day off. I really like tonights line up. Moving Carp down takes the pressure off, if thats even possible with Carp. When we are done with the DH tonight I'd throw Piscotty at 1B and let him sink or swin. He fails, let him be the 4th outfielder and come off the bench.

Not a huge fan of having Grichuk hit 2nd. He really should be in the six hole. Even if Carpenter is scuffling, he still gets on base, and that is paramount with Holliday and Peralta at 3 and 4.

Wong
Carpenter
Holliday
Peralta
Heyward
Grichuk
Molina
Reynolds
Piscotty

I agree that Carp should be in the #2 hole. I was just talking about moving him down until he gets his head back on right. Bunch of Twitter posts that the Cardinals have fined him for coming in on his days off and earlier than he was supposed to on the days he is playing. I hope thats BS.

**** mr. davis, but just win, baby.

I actually think that's smart. They're trying to keep him healthy and sharp. If he grinds himself into dust it's no good for him or the team.
