Way too early but if he's still mowing these guys down into the 7th, the scorer ought to look into temporarily changing Molina's hit to just an E5. 

I agree, with a decent throw hes out. That won't happen however

Seems like the Cards have a very sound defense other than LF.

Didnt Ozuna win the gold glove last year?

Did he?  I have no idea but he had a helluva gaffe yesterday.

Going to be tough to get into the Cards bullpen today.

Either bullpen really.  With one out in the 5th, he has only thrown 45 pitches.  That is the poster child for efficiency.

Giolito is looking sexy. Spring Training Lucas here.

Quite the pitching duel through 5 innings

 

51 pitches, 6 k's, 5 IP. I mean, this is about as efficient as you can get. That's what, 3.5 pitches an AB --- and to think when you have to throw at least three pitches to get a strikeout? This is a fun game to watch. Let's get a Moncada solo shot and win a CG duel 1-0.

I am having way too much fun watching Giolito pitch. He has a beautiful curve ball when he controls it. He is mixing his pitches well and location is pinpoint. Hes working quickly. Who cares about velocity when you have deception and control? I prefer that actually. This is probably the best start we have had yet, aside from maybe one of ReyLo's gems...and even ReyLo isn't this efficient.

I mean, Martinez is only at 60 pitches.  We are half way through the game in a clean 1 hour and 15 minutes.  That isn't quite Buerhle pace, but still great.

Ugh, why you swinging at the garbage?

This ump sucks ass.

Dang.  That sucks.

Just turned into a 1 man show

Gio has to homer now

narvaez with bad framing low again

All right Lucas, focus back now.

Lucas is pretty easy to rattle from the looks of it.

Very nice to see him keep the score right there.

He doesn't seem very good out of the stretch.

His body language was very bad after the HR.

God damnit.
