Not a good night

Just one of those nights didn't even make it through the 4th. I wasn't there so I can't make conclusions, but it sounded kind of ugly (no video), 6-1 if they don't catch up, it will be his 5th loss. That's a problem also, his team has been changed, rearranged many times even since Dave has gone up and no one is hitting. The pitcher who Dave replaced, Adam Ottavino, a first pick for the Cards in 2006, needs shoulder surgery, slap tear. So much for the discussion that it's ok to pitch frequently from the mound when young. At least he made it to the 40 man, he has to remain there and gets the benefit of being paid more money.

It's now 7-1, time to retire for the night.

I am not sure if he will remain, how much does a guy have to struggle before he begins to lose the confidance he had this summer. Perhaps I am just looking at it too much from a moms perspective, but I hope that this isn't going to be it for the rest of the summer...a struggle.

It was good to see Dave, he looks like he lost some weight from the last time we saw him in May, and we didn't talk that much baseball, the little we saw him, but we got an interesting perspective of life in triple A.
