Motte should be on a SHORT leash to start the season.

Awesome win tonight! Trailing by 1 in the top of the 9th, down to the last strike, Stavinoha hits a two run pinch hit homer to take the lead. Franklin with the save.
Hope they keep up their winning ways when I go to the game tomorrow. ![]() |

I watched some of the earlier parts of the game with the MLB Extra innings free preview and started watching something else when Lohse started getting knocked around a bit. Looks like I should have stuck with it.
Nice work Stavinoha. He was apparently hitting well this spring and it would be nice if he continues to be some power off the bench. Also damn nice to see Holliday is continuing to tare shit up like he did for STL last season. I am still not the biggest fan of that contract but still very happy he didn't manage to leave both MLB teams I am a fan of. |

I hope we get the win tomorrow. But you've gotta think the Brewers will be really pissed off about tonight. I hope this kid is up to the task.

Ryan Braun F'n mauls them. He can be good and still get beat up tomorrow. I'm not going to judge him too harshly based on tomorrows start.

But, maybe thats just Holliday's style. Those two home runs were pretty big hits this year and he was non-chalant about them also?

Holy crap, looks like our inesperienced bench ain't an issue yet. RH in the bullpen haven't been an issue yet. Freese and Rasmus look to be ready to go to the next level. Garcia looks like a great pick up. Life is good for Cardinal fans these days.

Like you, I like what I am seeing from the young fill-ins so far. I also like that the team has broken camp with mostly cheap bench guys instead of bringing in overpriced and mediocre vets to fill those same roles. Ideally that should give a bit more flexibility if vets need to be acquired later. Boggs in the pen is somewhat interesting. From what I saw last season his stuff is solid but his delivery is a bit suspect. In the pen he can dial it up for a few more MPH so maybe the change will work well for him. Overall I am a hell of a lot more optimistic about this team than I was at the same time last year. |

He was hitting 96-97 on the Fox radar gun. He has much better stuff than Motte. He could be a real difference maker in the bullpen.

I wasn't able to catch the game today because of the fox blackout for the extra innings preview which usually annoys me every year. Boggs hitting 96-97 is pretty impressive. Again it is extremely early in the year but Boggs may have the stuff to close if needed. |
