Ep. 582: Mikolas Exits After 62 Pitches -- And It Seemed To Be The Right, Aggressive Call In A Cardinals Win
Manage episode 422228129 series 2891569
Brenden Schaeffer discusses Wednesday's 4-2 win for the Cardinals over the Astros as Miles Mikolas earned the W for his six strong innings of two-run baseball.
It was a bit of a quirk to see Mikolas pulled from the game after only 62 pitches, but Oli Marmol explained why it was about factors other than pitch count that led to him determining that it was the right time to turn to his bullpen at that point.
And, of course, the Triumvirate came through with JoJo, Kit and Hels Bells finishing the job. And newsflash, Helsley looked back-back when it comes to that fastball velo and location. He seemed to trust the command of the pitch again which is bad news for NL hitters.
Plus, some good fundies and small ball by the Cardinals helped to establish a lead in this one. And Nolan Arenado found the Crawford boxes before he left H-Town.
