Cards Release Batista


I saw this coming but didn't know when it will exactly happen. Last night after the blow out I had a bad feeling his days are numbered. This afternoon the Cardinals released Miguel and brought up Lance Lynn.
Batista, 40, made 26 appearances for the Cardinals after making the team as a non-roster invitee to Spring Training. He allowed 27 hits in 29 1/3 innings, striking out 16 against 19 walks. He has struggled mightily in recent weeks, allowing 14 runs and 11 walks in 13 1/3 innings over his past 12 appearances since mid-May.I had high hopes for him, but now is the time to deal with our bullpen before things get even worse. I believe some trades or moves will be made in the next two weeks.
