Completely losing interest in the Braves. That was the worst representation we've had at 7:05 all of this season.
Of COURSE it'd happen against the Cards. |

Also - I guess I never realized just HOW good Wainwright is - he has some good action on those pitches. Some hitters are good at waiting or sitting on that slow breaker, trouble is he varies speeds.
The Braves couldn't figure him out most all of that night. |

He seems to throw about 30 different variations to his curve. Adding to that, he also switches up his windup in slight ways, so it ends up that the hitters can't really key in on anything.

This is the second time in two years that dummy has continued to be stubbornly loyal to players that just arent producing at all (Boggs last year, Jay this year). I am sure there are other examples as well (Descalso, Kozma, Maness) but those two are the most glaring. |

It truly is a joy to watch him. He's become the best true "pitcher" in baseball. He's lost four MPH off his fastball over the last few years, but as his velocity has declined he has added an entire quiver of extra arrows to his arsenal. He even varies the speed of his delivery to throw off the timing of the batter now. It's impressive.

I don't know if he's a virulent dickhead in the clubhouse, which is why I stayed away from that comparison.
