MICHAEL WACHA RUMORS
Wacha's Woes: Rookie's roll, Cards season, end
BOSTON -- Michael Wacha's masterful pitching run is over. So is the St. Louis Cardinals' season.
The 22-year-old rookie who burst on the major league scene with the poise of a veteran failed on baseball's biggest stage.
Wacha allowed six runs in 3 23 innings Wednesday night and the Boston Red Sox went on to a 6-1 win in Game 6 for their third World Series title in 10...

The seven pitchers picked ahead of Michael Wacha
During the FOX telecast of Thursday night’s Game Two contest between Boston and St. Louis, there was some speculation among those gathered about what sort of players could have possibly been selected in the 2012 draft ahead of 19th-overall pick Michael Wacha, the Texas A&M product who has pitched excellently for the Cardinals this postseason just a year-plus after having been...
St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Michael Wacha has been unbelievable
It all started on September 24 when Cardinals rookie Michael Wacha took the hill against the Nationals for his last regular season start of 2013. No one could have expected the lanky 22 year-old from Texas to make history that night, but he nearly did by taking a no-hitter into the ninth.
That spectacular start probably secured his spot on the Cardinals’ postseason rotation,...

Comparison of Michael Wacha as a reliever and starter
If the Cardinals are to earn a berth in the World Series Friday night, they’ll have to do so opposing a team starting Clayton Kershaw, presumably baseball’s best starter. Taking the mound for the Cardinals will be a still-mostly-unproven rookie in Michael Wacha, and on the face of it, that puts the Cardinals at a considerable disadvantage. But, a few things are working in their...
The St. Louis Cardinals come home with a chance to finish the Dodgers
This is the reason the St. Louis Cardinals fought so hard to win the National League Central Division during the regular season. The Cardinals ended up with the best record in the NL and have the right to play Game 6 and if necessary Game 7 of the NLCS at home. The Cards are looking to finish off the Dodgers and advance to the World Series and they seem more likely to do so at...

2012 NLCS collapse won't be weighing on Wacha's mind
ST. LOUIS -- Nobody knows how much the Cardinals will be thinking about their collapse in last year's NL Championship Series on Friday night. For the 17 returning players who watched their season sink in San Francisco, the memory of being outscored 20-1 and blowing a 3-games-to-1 lead must be difficult to erase.
But you can be certain at least one Cardinal will not be weighed...

Did scouts miss the boat on the Cardinals' Michael Wacha?
After yet another stellar performance by Cardinals' rookie Michael Wacha, it got me to thinking that a lot of teams and scouts surely missed the boat on this guy.
Baseball America listed him as the 4th best college pitcher in the 2012 draft and the 11th best pitcher overall.
After he was selected 19th overall by the Cardinals in the 2012 draft, MLB TV's John Hart projected...

WATCH: Cardinals pitcher Michael Wacha loses no-hitter on final batter
Wacha was dealing on Tuesday night.Credit: USA Today/Jeff Curry The St. Louis Cardinals might be peaking at just the right time. As evidence, look no further than 22-year-old rookie RHP Michael Wacha, who came within inches of fielding a ground ball that would have clinched the third no-hitter of the 2013 season in only his 9th major league start. Drafted just over a year ago,...
