Stauffer's Huntin' Redbird

Tim,

In your last start against the Cardinals you threw 5 innings and allowed 7 hits and 4 runs, but also racked up 7 Ks. Victims of your K's included Ryan Ludwick (three times), Mark DeRosa (twice), Joel Piniero and Matt Holliday.

Those guys don't stand a chance against you tonight and neither do any of those other Cardinals.

You need to get through that first inning tonight. Last Saturday you gave up 3 runs to the Cards in the first inning. Granted, Pujols is, as always, looming there in the first inning, but I like your chances tonight of escaping the first frame unscathed. If you do that, I bet it'll be smooth sailing.

Actually, watch that second inning too. Teams are hitting .375 against you in the second inning this season. I bet if you survive the second inning tonight, it'll be smooth sailing the rest of the way.

But be careful of that 4th inning. Teams are smoking you to the tune of .333 in the 4th. But I bet tonight's different. Tonight you'll escape the 4th inning without a scratch and the rest will be smooth sailing.

Good luck out there tonight. Sailor.

Best,
Bevormo
