Good to see Poo and Rolen pick up some hits.

After a scoreless bottom 1(hit each for Rolen and Pujols), Wainwright sends them down in order again, 0-0 going to bottom 2. 6 up, 6 down for Adam.

ERA at a crisp .96 for the Spring.

75-80 pitches(per Derrick Goold's Blog), I'm pretty sure IP aren't the determing factor.

Nothing doing offensively so far against this Adam Loewen kid. He's looked really good all Spring and outright embarassed the Cardinals when they faced him a week and a half ago. Looks like they're at least making a little bit better contact this time(except for the usual suspects Gooch and Wilson).

The Cards are hitting everything to the left side on him.

Boy, howdy! With Country Joe West behind the plate, it's feeling like baseball season already!

Yee-haw!
