Permitted to add a 26th man to the roster for Sunday's Little League Classic because of the unique mid-series travel involved, the Cardinals summoned outfielder Stephen Piscotty back from Triple-A Memphis.

The roster move assured Piscotty only of a one-day stay, but president of baseball operations John Mozeliak noted that the organization is considering something more permanent. The Cardinals don't have to officially make that decision until Tuesday, ahead of their next game.

He played eight games in Memphis, had a two-hit night and now he's fixed?

Any idea why they didn't challenge the Fowler slide in the first inning?

Matheny thought they were playing by Little League rules where they don't have replay.

There really does need to be an explanation for this (and maybe there is, but I haven't seen it.) There's a lot of bad things to say about Maddon, and many of them are true, but if one of his players was that adamant that he should challenge, he would listen to his player.

I couldn't find any explanation for the lack of replay after a cursory search so I made a smartass comment instead. It's the GRB Way
