Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script. Misiorowski came out throwing heat, and the Cardinals just couldn’t keep up. He’s been on a roll all season, and this performance was just another example of his dominance. The 103.4 mph fastball is a thing of beauty, and it’s no surprise he’s setting records.
Misiorowski’s confidence is palpable, and it’s easy to see why. He’s got the stuff, and he knows it. When he’s on, there’s no one better. And when he’s not, he’s still throwing hard enough to make it interesting. The Cardinals just couldn’t solve him, and it wasn’t close.
This one felt recognizable early, and it only got more familiar as the game went on. Misiorowski’s got the magic, and he’s not sharing it with anyone. At least, not until the season’s over.
This game was a reminder that sometimes, there’s just one guy on the mound, and everyone else is just playing for second place.
The result wasn’t surprising by the end.
Original observation: The game was over before it started.
