The dude pitched just a little too much to contact to satisfy Cardinal fans. Motte is just wild enough to be effective and now has playoff experience. Franklin had over 10 lewinskis (blown saves) in slightly over two months. That’s why the Cardinals had to make up so much ground last year to get into the playoffs. It was stressful but the end result was worth it! Congrats Jason you earned it.

Look it up in your Funk and Wagnalls.
