Archive for September, 2011This is a long time in coming and Jeff is the one who deserves the credit. I’ve been lax in keeping the facebook page up but Jeff was kind enough to create the new “page” version for Future Redbirds. You can find the page here with the RSS feed already tied up. My favorite part of the group and one that I’d encourage everyone to use is the photo feature. I know some of you are incredible photogs (James, I still have your pictures in my inbox — I promise) and now you’ve got a place to store and share them with other people who follow the Cardinals minor league system. So go ahead and like it. You know you want to. Quad Cities picked up the series sweep tonight against Clinton. Their season will now continue as they move on to round two of the playoffs. Let’s take a look at what went down in the clinching game. On to the DFR! With only 1 game on the docket tonight, the Quad Cities playoff game, I figured I’d give you more of a recap/player line hybrid. We will see how it goes, I know how some like their DFR to be straightforward so this may be a one night experiment. On to the DFR!

Let’s take a look at the pitching leaders for each team by tRA. (with at least 12 innings pitched) Numbers courtesy of statcorner.
