The odds of monkeys reproducing the works of Shakespeare by randomly hitting keys on a typewriter are greater than Weeks actually producing in the 4 hole. It is an affront to rational thinking and a disservice to the rest of the team that RR continues to slot him there.

 

If that monkey can swing a bat sign him up. At this point I have more confidence in the monkey than brewers batters.

 

3 runs for my new favorite team.... Game, Set, Match.....

Braun looks like he has something on his mind this series.

I find it funny that whenever he's doing poorly, people say his head's not in it or something.

 

I would wager a significant sum of money that it's either a) he's in a short slump, as happens to every player multiple times per season, or b) his neck is still bothering him and in turn impacting his ability to swing the bat.

 

Sometimes guys just don't play well. There doesn't always have to be a reason (despite the fact I gave a possible reason).

How do the cards find guys like Adams.

 

For the most part they draft and develop them.

 

Adams was a 23rd round pick for St. Louis in 2009.

 

He's been in their top 10 prospect lists since 2011.

 

He's the kind of guy like a Kris Davis that many people on bf.net would have wanted to trade for impact veteran type.

 

Here's what BA had to say about him this off-season:

Like Trevor Rosenthal, Adams has become an emblem of the Cardinals’ ongoing success in later rounds of the draft. He signed for $25,000 as a 23rd-round pick in 2009 after leading NCAA Division II in hitting (.495). He has continued to rake, hitting 74 homers in the last three years, including two for St. Louis last summer. Adams has a muscular, stout frame, but his light-tower power doesn’t come from his physique alone. He has a compact, spring-loaded swing that means he doesn’t need a loop or uppercut to generate distance. A coach called his stroke foolproof, one that should allow him to hit for power and average. He’s an adequate defender at first base, but his well below-average speed makes playing left field a stretch. Adams missed the final month of the season to have bone chips removed from his right elbow, a condition that had bothered him for more than a year. He should be healthy for spring training. Though he has nothing left to prove in the minors, he’s blocked by Allen Craig and has no apparent path to a starting job with the Cardinals.

Block says that Ueck is back to call the action for the 5th. Ueck: "What action?"

 

Later in the inning he joked about jumping off one of the rocks at the Dells.

 

I feel bad for him. I was really hoping that they would win a World Series for him in his lifetime but neither the present or the future are looking too promising at the moment. And obviously he doesn't have a ton of years left.
