I’d like to get the most important thing out of the way first: Kill the Tomahawk Chop. Kill it with fire, raze it to the ground, and salt the earth.
Going for the sweep in Atlanta today, the Cardinals put out this lineup:
— St. Louis Cardinals (@Cardinals) September 19, 2018
First inning: Jose Martinez, whose BB% in the second half has dropped to just 6.3%, picked up a rare walk. Unfortunately, Paul DeJong followed this with a GIDP.
Second inning: Yadier Molina, also not one known for a particularly selective eye for walks, also takes a walk.
