Jay certainly didn't help things. He's the reason why we have so many near collisions on defense. He does a terrible job of taking charge of the outfield. Kozma is nearly as bad on the infield. Leads to way too many routine flies that drop.

You hear that Dodger crowd cheer when the ball came off the bat like Gonzalez had just hit a two run homer? A broken bat soft liner to the 2nd baseman? You morons.

Philosphy, trying to work counts, make the pitchers work. Make them throw one more pitch, maybe its a mistake. etc.

It's too damned hard to scratch together 3-4 hits in an inning when managers have a hair trigger in the PS.
Against LHP, the last five guys in the lineup are essentially automatic outs, and when Carpenter is hitting like Tyler Greene and Holliday is first pitch hacking like Brendan Ryan, these are the results you're going to get.

You aren't working a count when you take a strike in a 2-2 or 3-2 count. You're just a dumbass.

Part of it is just the playoffs. You are seeing the best pitchers in baseball. Your not seeing #4-#5 starters. These are the best pitchers in the game.

That's an awful call, but it makes up for the horseshit on Molina.

I wasn't justifying, just repeating what I heard the Cardinal hitters are taught.

As long as he is consistent with that call, the batters and pitchers can adjust. But, I bet he blew the first call and that was a makeup call. This crew sucks.
