The first day of the Arizona Fall League was yesterday. The Cardinals players are part of the Peoria Javelinas team this season. Unfortunately they took a loss on their first game.
- Ryan Jackson was 1-for-1.
- Matt Adams was 3-for-5 with a double.
- Oscar Taveras was 1-for-5.
- Keith Butler was the only pitcher to see action and he didn’t fair well. He only retired two batters while walking 4 all of whom came around to score. Butler too the loss and ended the day with a 54.00 ERA. I would guess that gets better as the season goes on.

Worth noting that none of the hitters struck out in 11 at bats an early indication that they (particularly Taveras) are not overmatched. FWIW Adams also stole a base.
matt adams stole a base? i’m gonna need a minute to let that sink in.
Matt Adams is a superhero. I just can’t figure out yet which one.
