Miguel got a hit!

A singuel.

The Tigers need to announce Schoop's retirement. 

[Dave Christian]

Miggy with a single.

2 left on base.

3-1 middle of 4.

It’s a bummer that you can’t sit your highly-paid black holes every single game, but it’s a bigger number to have to watch them run us out of rallies in winnable games.

[casimir]

Ok, got a scratch on the board.  Tighten up the defense, hopefully a quick inning for Faedo, and get another scratch next inning.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

can we use the DH for Schoop instead of for the pitcher?

[Dave Christian]

End of 4.

3-1.

[chasfh]

OOTP is going to have to come up with another classification for Alex Faedo beyond “EX FB”.

[chasfh]

And that Vierling lineout demonstrates how great Arenado is at third.

[Dave Christian]

Vierling lines out to end the Tiger fifth.

3-1.

I keep wondering how many AB they are going to give him before pulling the plug. He hasn't even given us a tease of there still being anything there. Doesn't have a HR, hasn't even had a two hit game.

Faedo exits game with two out bottom of the fifth.

Did about as well as you could reasonably expect.

[gehringer_2]

well, I suppose it was a less bad outing that any of Turnbull's. The D give up the one run, so basicall 4 2/3 with two HR to Goldschmidt. Faedo needs to find another MPH or so somewhere. Supposedly by going back to his old lower arm angle it freed up his mechanics and he's picked up a little velo, but not back to where he was college.

[Dave Christian]

Alexander comes in to retire the Cards.

End of 5.

3-1.

Faedo probably about as good as could be expected.  Defense with a let down inning.  They’re still in it, but the offense needs to show up.

Alexander eating most of the rest of this game would be great.  An almost completely available bullpen to start the Cleveland series with a day off after that would be very beneficial.

Has Torkelson had a multi homer game yet?

Arenado and Nootbaar making plays.  Baez, Haase, and Torkleson not so much.

Oh, hold on, an Edman miscue….

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

too bad Miguel has already had his hit for the day.

[holygoat]

Maybe the Card's D can give us one back.
