Morehead St

[earsky]

No time change yet but are we anticipating one with the weather later?
If anybody hears something, can you let us know? Thanks

I thought the 3:00 start would be fine. Rain isn’t supposed to come in until after 6:00-6:30 (unless that changes). Cards should be able to handle Morehead St in 3 hours or less.

Cards would be wise to pitch around MSU's Thomas. 6 bombs in 10 games, 22 RBI's. The rain should hold off, but it will be windy.

My guy Hartman is having problems!!!!

Should've listened to you...

Hard to pitch around a guy when you walk the first two hitters and then get behind 3-0. Haven't been impressed with Hartman at all so far this year. Wouldn't mind seeing Cutts get a crack at the rotation.

Looks like we'll get a good look at what a Cutts start would look like; should've waited 30 seconds before my last post lol

Going to need Cutts on the weekends though. He, to me, is your first guy out of the pen on Friday or Saturday. Colton is certainly capable; not sure what is going on. I think you could use West or Freshman during the week.

Now Cutts has hit two batters in a row. 😱

The long relief role is definitely important and I do think Cutts is our best bet there. Why do you have so much confidence in Hartman? Not being condescending or anything, he just hasn't shown it to me. He has a 1.6 WHIP for the Cards and that's not factoring in how he looked today. I think the idea of a strong LHP starter is sexier than the reality of how he has looked. That said, he's young and should in theory learn how to pitch better against college hitters but I would've figured that would've clicked after getting a good amount of innings as a freshman

LOL. Right now, my confidence is pretty minimal. Coming into the season I thought he could be a weekend starter. I think he was dinged up in the Fall and right now he doesn’t seem to have any confidence. He and Biven need to talk to the sports psychologist and get their heads right.

Cutts hits his third batter of the Inning! That is four HBPs for Card pitchers. Geez. West now on the mound.

Awesome job by West to get out of that jam w/o giving up any runs. Awesome play by Alicea

I guess confidence wasn't the right word. Why'd you think he could be a weekend starter? I didn't think he showed anything last year that would lead one to believe he could be a weekend starter. It's definitely wishful thinking because it'd be nice to have a solid LHP in the weekend rotation

I 100% believe he out-performed Detmers last year. However, you have to keep developing and take care of business on the mound when the time arrives. I thought his two previous outings were ‘ok’. Today - total trainwreck. Bug, athletic guy who can bring plenty of heat and has other pitches at his disposal. Of course, getting those pitches across the plate helps.

Another 3-run HR. This time off of West. Morehead is just hitting the ball hard. Cards must respond in the bottom-half of the inning.

 

[Bardman]

3 up and 3 down. Cards just not hitting the ball nearly as hard as Morehead.

7th inning. 6–5 bad guys. Pretty stiff breeze from the South blowing hard to LF and LCF. Taggert had a really hard hit ball last inning.
