Is a left handed specialist all that necessary? Not when his name is Trever Miller. His job is to come in, face one batter and get him out. Let's see how well that is working out for him this season. He has allowed 18 of 39 1st batters reach base this season. That is a .462 OBP (2nd worst in MLB). Look, if your job is to come in and face lefties and get them out and they are getting on nearly 50% of the time you have no business being on the team.
On a much happier note, from out of nowhere Skip Schumaker is hitting .350 since June 4th and has raised his average from .207 to .288. I gotta admit I never would have expected that to happen 38 games ago!
Back to bad news the Cards have hit into 111 double plays this season and are on pace to eclipse their old NL record of 166 set in 1958. I guess having a high team batting average has to come with some sort of downside.
BUH bYe now trevor, PJ, Tallet and COLBY.
