Not really

yes he scored the runner, but you know albert wanted to do more then ground out.

by StLHugo on May 5, 2008 10:05 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

his goal that at bat was to go the other way and score the runner

obviously he’d prefer a hit, but he made solid contact and did his job, it was a good at bat

I prefer realistic.

I don’t want positive spin leading to a 10er start for him in the majors. We cannot afford to bring up a pitcher thats not an improvement over what we already haver here.

Arguably he’s not even better than Garcia, Parisi, or Walters would be. Heck, those three can at least get through a AAA start giving up fewer runs than IP.

I'm happy with those results

No thrilled, but happy. We need to remember that this man has only pitched about a half-dozen games in the last 2 years. (I know this is a bit off, but i don’t feel like looking up specifics.)

I don’t expect a TON from him, but it’s early, and this is still his spring training, or something. I’m glad he’s working through his problems, and learning to adjust. I’m also glad that he’s got 30 days to do it in the minor leagues. He’s not hurting anyone by taking his lumps against a AAA team.

He's making his major league debut

It’s probably the most exciting night of his life (or close), and a chance for me to see a guy in the system I’ve never seen before. I think it is something to be excited for.

anytime anyone says the wagonmaker sucks, they have to take a timeout from the site. Anyone care to second that?

And these Cardinals could use a few runs, too. I’d like to see Pujols extend his on-base streak with a hit that doesn’t require him to actually stand on a base.

New Guy

Hey, long time reader, first time poster. I’m moving to a new city every few months but I keep a St. Louis billing address. MLB TV blacks out most of the games because of that address. Anybody know any tricks to set up an out of town account without making me change my credit card info? I’m getting sick of watching gameday.
