After a frustrating three games by our St. Louis Cardinals, I am so thrilled to sit in the comfy confines at AutoZone Park to watch the Memphis Redbirds kick off their 2016 season. Some leading questions in my head: will these Redbirds produce offensively where the Cardinals have not yet? Will the arms here in Memphis hold the opponents better than their big brothers?
Let’s get to the lead-in. Tonight at 7:05pm, the Redbirds will toss out the first pitch of the 2016 season facing the AAA-affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers, the Colorado Springs Sky Sox. Climbing the mound for Memphis is Deck McGuire.
