He's got a 5.56 ERA, has been basically a 5 and dive this year and has accumulated a negative WAR thus far... Only positive has been his strikeout/walk numbers... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Quote Tommy Pham (head) told Cardinals manager Mike Matheny late Wednesday that he thinks he can play Thursday. Pham suffered a laceration on his forehead Wednesday when his bat snapped off a resistance band while he was in the indoor batting cage getting ready for his second plate appearance of the night. He told reporters that "blood started gushing down" from his head and covered his "whole jersey," but the 30-year-old outfielder passed an initial round of concussion tests and apparently escaped the frightening incident with nothing more than a big welt. "Let’s see how many ladies still like me," he said. "I’m not happy about it." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tttmikeb Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Glad Pham's ok. He just tied the game up on his third hit of the day. BA is up to .365. Man, he's good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing we tried out that Matt Adams experiment over Pham to start last season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pham had a TERRIBLE spring last year. I understood having him start the year in AAA. He should have been called up sooner, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have been called up sooner, though. He was BY FAR the best fielding OF in the organization, and it wasnt like Adams & Co were raking at any point. He should have been on the Opening Day roster, if not an Opening Day starter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Carlos Martinez has only given up two 1st inning runs since his opening days start. That is huge for him, as the 1st inning is by far his downfall usually. Hope the trend continues, as that's the next step to him becoming the bonafide ace...

kgarrett12486 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 So our BP and defense, two areas I thought we'd be better at have really been struggling. Costing us valuable games... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kgarrett12486 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Big comeback win last night after offense did nothing against James Shields. We needed that win after the disappointing series in Pit... @TitansFan4Life still think Mikolas sucks? Been pretty consistent this year so far. One of our better options...

Other than the offense, last night showed some pretty encouraging signs. The pen looked good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgarrett12486 Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 With all the BP arms we had, I never thought Bud Norris would remain the closer this long. He's done a hell of a job though. He's the only BP arm I trust right now in the 9th... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tttmikeb Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Impressive display by Carlos Martinez today. Really good outing on the mound, and his first ML homer. Thought he was going to win the game all by himself for a minute there. Also, interesting to see Carpenter and Fowler hit their 100th homer on back-to-back days.

Ironic that they're both hitting in the .100's too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
