Cards manager doing the right thing...if any of my pitchers gave up a walk to Albies, i'd immediately take them out too

Albies has eight walks in Septemeber... Is that a lot? Nah, but he's at least shown more patience recently.

It's pretty clear how pitchers are adjusting to Ozzie's aggressiveness. The sooner he adjusts like Acuna has, the better.
The scouting report now is almost certainly, "let him get himself out".

Dang. Flowers JUST missed.
That was a tip your cap to Mayers AB against Duda...he perfectly executed 3 pitches and Duda had no chance.
After the Swanson BBs, Duda FO 9 to end threat.
Oh boy, Biddle.
I'm going to keep knocking on it...but Albies problem isn't JUST the swinging at everything.

Can he hit upper quadrant pitches with authority? The answer, very clearly, is "no". It's even worse lefty.

Most pitchers don't have the command to consistently elevate, so he can simply just try to ignore those pitches, but against the pitchers that can, unless he figures out something else during this offseason, he's f'd vs them.
It should also be noted he's been missing pitches he was crushing consistently earlier. Someone has said if you compare to earlier in the season, it doesn't seem like he has his legs and he's all arms now in trying to swing.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
We got good Biddle today.
Better.
Biddle does his job.
Bunch of right handed hitters coming up for the Cards in the 8th. Brach or Carle should pitch that inning. Carle is better rested. Brach has been getting more of the high leverage work.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Biddle does his job.
