I agree.. its just sad to see him impersonating Albert Pujols when it doesn't mean anything.

Neither team wants to win this game.
Just a matter of which team wants the other to win more. |

No more getting thrown out of games, Maddon.
Hyde can't manage a game the Cardinals tried to throw and he threw it right back. |

So far in this series, Cubs pitching has handed out 22 free bases and there's still one game to go.
Might be time to throw out the book on nibbling, Hickey. |

That was a good win. Nice to beat the Cubs in a close game, one we came from behind to win. At Wrigley. That’s a rarity the last few years.
Seeing a little different managing from Shildt. Bringing in Hicks early. Seems like a no brainer to bring your best pitcher in with the bases loaded and the heart of the lineup coming up to hit but that never happened with Matheny. Meathead brings in some scrub because it’s the 6th inning and the game is over.

Holland needs to be summarily executed at the team hotel tonight. It's been 100 games at this point. His K/9 is 7.92, which incidentally is also his BB/9. There are 428 pitchers that have thrown more than 20 innings. His xFIP is 422/428. One of the six that is worse is Brett Cecil. The Cardinals are literally paying two pitchers who are in the first percentile of performance over 20 million dollars. How in the **** is that even possible?

That said I was thinking why isn’t Hicks in and then he brought him in, it was just two batters too late. I will cut Shildt a little slack since it was the 4th game of a 5 game series and he can’t run everyone in the ground. He doesn’t pick who Mo stocks the pen with, but hopefully from now on he keeps Holland on a short lease in meaningless innings as long as we are burdened with his stench on our roster.
