Nogowski keeps on hitting.

Oliva couldn't hit AAA pitching (.167). Do they really expect him to hit MLB pitching?

Moran better watch out!

Against a RHP, why wouldn't Difo be out there?

Bases loaded, no outs. the only way we score is a hit batsman

Gonna be time to rest him soon, followed by an all-expense paid trip to Altoona or Indianapolis. Probably recall Craig!

I guess Difo needed a day off.

Brubaker has to cut down on number of homers he gives up. Other than that, he looks like a very good pitcher.

Gamel out by a mile at 2B when Newman swings and misses on a H&R.

Nogowski appeared in 19 games for St.L. this year. He didn't start any of them and entered all 19 as a PHer. Twice he remained in the game but had only 1 game with as many as 2 PAs. He doesn't appear to be a good PHer and went 1 for 18. He was a solid hitter at all minor league levels and is now benefitting by playing regularly rather than merely PHing. Maybe they will consider a L/R platoon when Moran returns. He seems to need to play somewhat regularly.
