[CardsofSTL]

Popped him up. 3 outs and time to stretch

[dmarx114]

Don’t understand why pitchers aren’t allowed to catch pop ups.

[ghostrunner]

Found out today there’s a Jose Fermin that pitches for the Angels

[CardsofSTL]

DBacks go to the pen with 2 outs and the bases empty.

[ghostrunner]

Don’t understand why pitchers aren’t allowed to catch pop ups.

[CardsofSTL]

Blaze takes a 2 out walk and the Cardinals will pinch hit for Pages with Crooks.

[CardsofSTL]

Wild pitch allows Blaze to move into scoring position

[CardsofSTL]

Crooks disappoints.

[CardsofSTL]

Don’t understand why pitchers aren’t allowed to catch pop ups.

Always thought it was so they didn't trip over the mound or the rosin bag and hurt themselves.

Also probably easier for an infielder running in to judge the spin and make a catch; just like an outfielder coming in on a ball in shallow outfield vs the infielder catching it over his head.

[CardsofSTL]

Rajcic starts things off with a 4 pitch walk in the 8th. Not ideal.
