Cards prospects would rule the A-10

It's all over and the Cardinals' prospect-laden lineup has thumped SLU in an exhibition game 14-2.  The game was shortened to five innings as SLU apparently couldn't spare any more pitchers after it took three of them to record three outs in the 10-run fourth.  

Stars of the game were Colby Rasmus, Brian Barton, and Amaury Marti.  Colby reached base all four times and scored four runs.  Maybe this guys could bat leadoff...Barton was 2-2 with a dinger, a walk, and a single, good for two RBI and three runs scored.  Marti was only 1-1 but it was a bomb of a grand slam to center field against a stiff breeze. Bob Ramsey said on the broadcast that if the baseball thing didn't work out for Marti he could play strong safety for the Rams!

Boggs, Mortensen, and Perez pitched.  I didn't hear the first part of the game, but it can't be a good sign for Boggs that he gave up two runs and four hits to the same lineup that Mortensen and Perez no-hit with four Ks.  The broadcasters were very impressed with both Mortensen and Perez as Mortensen surprised with his velocity and Perez was his usual filthy self.  Ramsey, when introducing Perez at 6'4" and 225lbs, wondered what year they last weighed Perez.  

Mark Lamping was on the broadcast and he is so underwhelming.  He mentioned that he though Rasmus, "had a chance to be on the big club someday."  What a revelation!  Ramsey also mentioned that TLR was considered keeping Rasmus on the big club as a part-time player (I am not exactly sure what gnashing your teeth means, but I think I am doing it right now).

The actual score
was 15-2, and seven innings were played, not five.  Marti and Anderson were both two for two.

My bad
that's what I get for listening with only one ear and not hitting the refresh button.  Thanks for keeping me straight.

and not to get
nit picky, but Perez gave up a hit. Perhaps you meant Walter?

The link
is no longer there, but if you go to the site and look underneath the big picture on the left side there is still a link to the box score.  That is where the "Listen Live" link was earlier.  No idea if it will repeat itself for future games.
