Report: Brewers, Cardinals talking Adam Lind?

0 comments by TOC Locker

The St. Louis Cardinals may need some help at first base. Since Matt Adams went down for the year with a quad injury at the end of May, they’ve mainly played Mark Reynolds at first, and watched the strikeout machine do his thing by hitting .229/.312/.391 with nine homers and 89 strikeouts in 86 games.

Sprinklers come on in the middle of minor league at bat

0 comments by TOC Locker

This isn’t something you see every day. During Sunday’s San Antonio Missions-Midland Rockhounds game, the sprinklers on the field came on in the middle of Benji Gonzalez’s at bat…right before Gonzalez tripled down the right field line. Logic eventually prevailed, Gonzalez’s triple was overturned, and the ball was ruled dead. He’d later ground out. What a […]

On Friday, the club picked up Juan Uribe and Kelly Johnson from the Atlanta Braves, sending minor league pitchers Jon Gant and Rob Whalen to Atlanta. Uribe is the […]
