They can't hit breaking balls.

 

Maybe the RH thing was overrated last year and the truth was we've built a team of hitters that can't hit breaking balls.

[rynefan]

Ram needs to hammer those totally underwhelming fastballs highish in the zone--instead he waves at the slider.

 

Loved his reaction after the strikeout... just stood there like he didn't know what happened.

[Outshined_One]

Rickshaw!

[UMFan83]

I wonder why the Trib did away with their "From the Cubicle " segments that they've been doing the last few years.

[Derwood]

Every year it's the same thing: ROOKIE-OWNED

[Tyrant]

Soto has to be hurt still. Give him another few days' rest and let him get back to full strength. He doesn't look right up there.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Free Koyie Hill!

[haubrich91]

This game sucks.

[Butterscup1679666578]

that inning was about right. turning this one off for awhile. i'll check in later.

[chuckywang]

Soto has been downright awful to start the season.

[UMFan83]

PJ Walters, Mitchell Boggs, Braden Looper, Todd Wellemeyer, it doesn't matter who it is. Maybe they should give Greg Paulus a start and see what happens.

[Tryptamine]

This game sucks.

 

This game went from fun to headache inducing in record time.

[weis21]

Walters is apparently good now. At least he's at 78 pitches.

Maybe? There's no maybe about it.

[weis21]

1 pitch outs are good

[Soul]

1 pitch outs are good

 

They tend to have a better impact when they prevent the bases from becoming loaded, thus preventing 3 run homers.

[chuckywang]

How the hell did the Cards find a SS that OPS's over 1.300?

[Soul]

Z has pretty much lost it hasn't he.

[Tryptamine]

Typical Cardinals, random unknown player becomes allstar.

But what about Vishnu?

[Outshined_One]

I'm turning this off. Hopefully things will be better when I get back.

I'm sure they are saying the same thing about the successes of Soto, Dempster, Marmol, Fontenot and Theriot.

Marmol and Soto were top 10 prospects in the Cubs system at one time, Soto was even a top 75 prospect in all of baseball going into last season.
