Ep. 532: Nootbaar Reportedly Returns Friday — And Victor Scott Is Staying Right Where He Is Despite Wednesday's Struggles
Description
Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 4-3 loss to the Phillies on Wednesday as rookie outfielder Victor Scott II had an unfortunate afternoon in the field and on the bases to contribute to the Redbirds dropping the series finale.
But Brenden comes out in favor of the reported decision by the Cardinals not to overreact to that specific game with a move to demote Scott to Memphis upon the return of Lars Nootbaar, which will reportedly take place Friday in the Cardinals' next game.
Katie Woo reported Wednesday night that Noot will be activated for Friday with Pedro Pages as the corresponding player optioned back to the minors. So why is now *not* necessarily the right time to send Scott down despite his struggles Wednesday?
Perhaps the Cardinals wanted to send a message to the young player that they've got his back. That angle and plenty more discussion on the situation in this episode.
