Memphis and the Big League club tried to go inning for inning last night, both coming to a close roughly around the same time.
On to the DFR!

Author ArchiveJune is dead. Long live June. Full Docket tonight with some important debuts happening. The organization saw some comebacks, both wins and losses. Nice to see some power in the DFRs that may not have been there in years past. Also great to see a Rasmus providing some highlights again for those of us living in our mother’s basement, breathing into brown paper bags. On to the DFR! To the DFR! With Quad Cities off for the ASB, we still have a full docket with lots of extra innings. On the DFR! Some power on display today. On to the DFR! Shelby Miller ALERT!
After watching today’s starter get pummeled by the Washington Nationals (and then watch the bullpen not do much better), it’s great to turn an eye to two pitchers the organization holds in high and see them succeed. Lance Lynn, being steady but not ‘wow-ing’ people and Shelby Miller, the ‘wow’ of the Cardinals farm system right now give the Cardinals two arms that, at the latest next spring, give the Cardinals flexibility to remold their rotation or temporarily the backend of their bullpen. On to the DFR! Lots of games, not lots of hits. To the DFR! Only 3 games on the docket, with a full slate coming on Thursday. A late comeback gave the organization a winning night. To the DFR! Congratulations of Lance Lynn and Makial Cleto for making their big league debuts. No matter the result, the fact that both lived out their dreams is always the most important part. As for Cleto, talent or not, this organization is in constant contradiction with itself. Allen Craig, who may be carrying this club offensively right now, by all measures could have outperformed both Mark DeRosa and Pedro Feliz. And yet, instead of calling him up and letting him work through whatever growing pains he (and by example Cleto) had, we shipped 2 of our 3 best young bullpen arms at the time to Cleveland. I just hope that Cleto is the opening of a door that allows the club to perhaps bring up players a bit less conservatively than in the past. |
