Ya Beltran bunting had better not been on MM. That would be some epic fail.

I still dont understand why we are bunting so much. MM acts like this team cant hit.

JUST BUNT MOAR GUYZ!!

**** 4321

This team is now 3-10 against playoff teams over the last two weeks.

Look at this ****ing zone for Greinke:

Im not to worried about it. This team always seems to play best when they have to. And im confident that the Pirates will hit a slump or 2 before this season is done.

Lost tonight because we didn't play fundamental baseball

They may tank it this year but count them out at your own peril indeed.

It ain't over till its over

The Cardinals are playing .500 ball since June 9 when they were 41-22. This is despite the fact they had a 14-4 streak from Jul 1-Jul 25.

They've now lost 9 of their last 12, ugh.

Mike Matheny: Michigan Man.

**** the Doyers

I'm not worried for you guys, if that means anything. Looking at the X W-L stat, the Pirates should fall off soon and you will most likely win the division by 5-8 games. As a Royals fan though, I'm scared of your offense, and we don't even have to play you again.

For some reason I'm giddy about Nelly Night. Maybe it's just because it reminds me of college.

Read somewhere that if we played .500 after the all star break we would still have 91 wins. That gets us in the playoffs.

We all know that the playoffs are subject to a small sample size issue. However, it's still important to maximize your odds in those situations. Staying out of the WC game helps for two reasons: #1, you likely avoid burning your ace. #2, it's a 55-45 game at best. Moreover, the WC team is at a tremendous disadvantage in the next round with the new rules. It's not insurmountable, but it is measurable.

A worthy playoff team should not play .500 ball over the final four months.

It is inexcusable for a team that was 19 games over two months ago, with the record they had, to not get HFA in the NL playoffs.

Oh, and here's a sobering fact:

Mike Matheny has managed 270 games and his Pythag is -11. That's significant.

You should avoid the wild card game at all costs.

Everything on paper said we should lose that game in ATL. We got some lucky breaks but we also played well enough to win.

Getting killed by Nick ****o. Wow.

So yeah, Kershaw is dominating us tonight

He's really owned a lot of our hitters. However, he has elevated two-three breaking pitches. Beltran just hit one.

****in' Balls. God****, that is just horrible luck.

Clown shoes on Holiday

Holliday has had the worst two ABs I've ever seen. Dude, just hold the bat on your shoulder if you're going to swing at that shit. He's completely overmatched.

THREE MORE YEARS OF THIS SHIT!! YAY!!

I'm just keeping up with it on an app,what happened?

Depressing cause it seemed Holliday was heating up

Beltran singled. Craig worked a 3-2 count, fouled some hittable pitches off, then hit an absolute rocket back at the pitcher that Kershaw caught with a defensive spasm, doubling off Beltran as a result.

Holliday then made a complete ass out of himself at the dish as he always does against any pitcher who throws harder than 90.

That was likely our scoring chance for this game as well.

Yeah I saw the dp figured that's what happened

****ing punto

Kelly's command is faltering. Walks a punchless ****o and now can't find the plate against Kershaw.

Once/if the dodgers get healthy, they're a scarybteam

Thank ****ing Christ.

They are, but their 2B and 3B are still a goddamned embarrassment, and would you want Zack Greinke starting a must-win game for you?

Just hit a gat damn choppah.

I'm really starting to man crush on Joe Kelly. Huge play.

Nice inning, wish carp could have came through

Worst route to a ball ever. Holliday, Hancock yourself.

****ing Scroate.

Gave up a double and three singles and only allowed a single run. Lucky as hell.

I hope Matheny finally learns that Maness should only pitch with a DP situation.

And ****, do I hate Scroate.

Maness is unbelievable in getting a DP. Surely we are way past just luck.

It's luck to give up four hits and have the other team score one run. Maness inducing that contact was not luck.

You know what playing the game the right way is? Playing it well. Skip didn't play the game the right way, he was a ****ing scrub one who sucks the penis Peter principled into the lineup by LaRussa's dumbass.

Would be nice to get an insurance run to two here.

I wonder if the Dodgers will throw $200 million at Cano this offseason just because they can.

WOOHOO BELTRAN :rockon:

ROFL..****ing Mattingly brings in his worst reliever to pitch to 'tran. What a dipshit.

They should definitely send Chambers here.

WOOHOO ADAMS :rockon:

League is shit. Can't win em all

When you have a $2 BILLION TV contract, you get to buy whoever you want.

We have to get him in the lineup more. But how do you take Beltran or Craig out?

Move one of them to left. :grr:

Admit it, you were secretly hoping to see MH on the PED suspension list. :)

Shelby just took a shot off his throwing elbow, second pitch of the game.


****


He's done for a while

Mother ****er.

Boy, that was a bullet.

He's going to miss a start, or the rest of the season. I don't see much room for an in-between.

I'd hate to see it turn into anything like the shot that Lohse took that effectively robbed him of 2 seasons.

Yeah, hoping it just got the arm not elbow

So tired of that

And now Peavy would have been nice to have. Damn

Martinez gets a call up?

Or wacha

Walking the bases with Westbrook pitching? Oh my this could get ugly.

Piss off Jake

Jake has to eat this one. I dont care if he gives up 30. I cant wait til this bum is not on the team next year.

He got his grounder.

His manager, being dumb as a sack of hammers, ****ed him over by playing the infield in.

That was a tailor-made DP ball but with Kozma having abandoned the hole to play in, it dribbled through.

Why he had the IF in during the 2nd inning with Nolasco pitching for the Dodgers is beyond me. 1 run shouldn't be winning this game - concede the run and set up the double play.

you know yoru pitcher doesnt have it, when he walks Puig. lol

This season is going to shit in a hurry.

Well, this one's got disaster written all over it. :facepalm:

Hate it when the game is over in the 2nd inning; tough one to take, could screw them up for the rest of the season. Westbrook has nothing.

WTF Matheny

Twitter reports say right elbow contusion. Nothing broken.

Westbrook would have got rocked tomorrow anyway. We need to give Martinez his slot in the rotation. But thats not going to happen.:cuss:

Just a contusion from reports, let him miss a start or two

The Cardinals are pretty good at swinging bunts.

Jesus Christ Freese. Go kill yourself.

There is the rest you wanted Miller to have to be ready for the playoffs.

Can the ****ing Brock Peterson experiment be over? The guy is just completely overmatched at this level.
