1. Get ahead of hitters Mr. Reyes. We’ve all seen his potential, but we need that potential to come to the forefront tonight against the Tigers. Mission accomplished - tons of first pitch strikes tonight.
2. Please Mr. Reyes, change speeds. If the Tigers’ hitters can sit on fastballs down the middle on the first pitch of every at bat, your night will be very short. According to McCarver, he was changing speeds too much early on, so mission accomplished there as well.
3. Cardinals hitters, don’t be selfish. It seems that everyone wants to hit a home run lately. If the pitch is on the outside corner, go to right field. Remember, it’s a team game, work as one! Pujols homered to right, Rolen doubled to right, and Molina had a base hit to right. Well done boys.
4. Jump on ‘em early. Let’s get a run or two early to give not only Reyes more confidence, but the team as a whole. This will also send a message to the Tigers that we aren’t as overmatched as everyone thinks we are. We got one in inning two - that’s good enough for me.
5. Score more runs than the Tigers. I can almost guarantee victory if we do this. Turns out we did - five more to be exact.
