yeah, this will be on the offense. First earned run on the bullpen in a week. 22 innings I think they said.

He's had razor sharp fastball command today and just got beat by his worst pitch because he's braindead. Just a terrible, terrible decision from Rosenthal to throw that pitch. If you come out there and you don't have your heat, sure - try to find something that works. Try to fool them if you need to. But a first pitch breaker from a guy that doesn't really throw curveballs is just the highest form of idiocy. You do not do that in a 1-run game and you do not lose on your worst pitch. Stupid stupid stupid pitch sequencing.

Ching Ming dildohead has looked dumb on a few breaking balls today, but still.

Adams just needs to bunt 2 balls for a hit

Does Adams ever lay off that low and inside breaking pitch?

He hasn't thrown his curveball with any regularity in 2 seasons and it's a 1-run game. You don't throw it this inning, at least not without first establishing that you can't mow through them with your fastball. As it turns out, his fastball was outstanding. The moron just didn't give himself a chance to find out before losing the lead. It was just monumentally stupid. It was getting picked off 3rd with the bases loaded stupid. There is no excuse for throwing that pitch in that situation.

Warning track power.
His HR in Milwaukee is an out anywhere else and I'm pretty sure the HR he hit at Busch is as hard as he can hit a ball. Well shit, Bourjos will put one out if he perfectly squares it up. Even on that ball he pulled his hands in as he came through. The goddamn guy is bringing his hands in on an outside pitch. He can't help it. Apart from holding the bat upside down, I'm not sure there's anything else he can do to make himself less powerful. He's 240 lbs and will get the bat knocked out of his hands by anyone throwing more than 90 mph. It's the most insanely self-destructive thing I've seen by a ballplayer since Marquis insisted on being a 4-pitch pitcher.

I've followed him pretty closely since he's been a rookie as a pure baseball fan because he's a fascinating prospect. He's one of those guys like Stanton in that his body should not be as athletic as it is at that size. I really thought this guy was going to be unreal. And I've noted since he first came up that he's always had a reason for disappointing. It was a thumb injury or the HBP or the lineup change, etc, etc...; he's always explained away his struggles. And all the while he's constantly been tinkering. I'm hard on him because he pisses me off as a baseball fan. I want him to be Bryce Harper. I want him to go out there and play like he's the most talented man alive because he's not far from that. I want him to be as good as his talent says he can be and I wanted that before he was a Cardinal. Now that he's a Cardinal he's simply putting my level of pissed off into overdrive.
