Holliday is Scott Rolen in 2006 bad against fastballs.

leave a batting practice change over the middle of the plate, belt high, bad things are going to happen.

I'm not a fan of walking the hitter here.

Ultra fail by Mujica there. Awful, just awful.

And FWIW, I think Matheny made the right move, obviously hindsight 20/20, but I think he played it out right.
If anything, I'd have rather just let Mujica start clean in the 9th. Waino was good, not great. |

Waino's pitch count was low enough and he's the leader of the team. I was fine w/ him starting that inning with a one-and-done policy. He induced weak contact on that pitch, it was just a lucky ass duck snort.
Mujica, however, was horrendous. He kept everything up in the zone. Thought he should mix in his FB a little more, especially since his change was not good and a lot of the hitters were simply laying off pitches that were borderline b/c they knew it was likely the change, and thus, would drop out of the zone. This isn't a tailspin, but it's definitely a massive rut.

And yet the Cards still don't have 1 9th inning rally this year. But they have given up a ton of them.
First loss I have been pissed at all year. |

Yeah, for sure a rut. Things just haven't went our way alot. There have been games, we've just lost, but there have been a good number where we just have some bad luck and lose.
Mujica, like Franklin, has to have great location and control, and when he doesn't well we saw what happened. |

We really need to just go in and sweep the shit out of the Marlins.
However, even with as bad as we played on said road trip, we were a win toinght away from having a .500 trip. Prior to that we got swept by the Rangers in a series where, like I said before, we were always a bloop hit, or a shot right at someone away from taking 2 of 3 |
