Thank God.

 

Jake has shown glimpses of not being sharp this year but he's always gotten it together. No doubt some of this is simple bad luck but his control was not there at all that inning.

 

Whenever Jake is less than dominant I'm worried about his arm being fatigued because of last year.

without looking it up, it seems he's gone past 100+ pitches too many times this year

Cardinals announcers are now talking about implementing an anti-tanking rule.

This conversation was 2 pages back, but they basically had one. It was called the way the draft rules worked prior to 2012. Then MLB decided to tie your draft pool to your draft position, and now there's really no incentive whatsoever to not go all in on sucking if you don't think you're going to be at least .500.

 

My posting history here shows I'm no fan of tanking, but MLB brought this on itself by making it the smart thing to do.

If this somehow spirals and they lose this game I'll probably need to take a week off of baseball

 

Yup me too. I'll skip the entire next turn in the rotation. Drunk me popped off about Arrieta not being an ace on Friday out of frustration because I only want superhuman Jake. I think this is him punishing all of us for me talking out of turn.

Ok so a few questions....what happened with Wong, and why does Gameday mention an injury delay?

 

 

He swung at a 3-0 count. And I believe injury delay was because of Addison having issues with his contacts

Wong swung 3-0 and popped up, the injury delay was Russell having an issue with his contacts.

 

Thanks.

Only 5 times in 9 starts. And two of those were exactly 100. The other 3 were 119 (no-no), 108 and 111.
