Professor Turgeson 73 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Plus he wasn't throwing the slider at all when he first came up. Maybe it was deliberate to try and develop fastball command. But for whatever reason, he wasn't. Now that a hitter has to guess on an 86 MPH slider with break and a 100+ MPH fastball with sink? Uh Oh!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
ejaggit 160 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 He could possibly get the closer position. Interesting. I'm on board. Link to post Share on other sites

STLSU 543 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 CMart will get it shortly. Better and more swing and miss pitches and a vet. Link to post Share on other sites
urban2014 1,741 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 C Mart looked like trash though. But ok Link to post Share on other sites

STLSU 543 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Just a prediction of where it looks like they are headed. I think Hicks will be in the mix from time to time. Link to post Share on other sites
dkrocka 267 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 The Cards can go in any direction they want. Norris is probably losing his job. If he hasn't already he's just one BS away. Both CMart and Hicks could be fireman or closer. CMart was effectively wild last night. A LOT of 3-2 counts but he was generally on the edges. Michael Taylor literally saw 6 or 7 straight balls before he retired himself on yet another full count. That kind of a night sounds an awful lot like what Hicks gives them, and despite CMart also using a changeup and a cutter, he can't command, and sometimes even control either of them. I mean shoot though, if we're throwing darts, Carlos Martinez was in the rotation, so pitching 2 or 3 innings is much more in his alley. So..... if Carlos Martinez sees the 8th innings, and is doing well... why not just leave him in for the 9th? Hot hand kind of thing. Fortunately, I have both Link to post Share on other sites
STLSU 543 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Carlos is gonna need to get his head right and be consistent. It's not easy to do so in a bullpen role transitioning from a starter. Link to post Share on other sites
