He is great in a position where he can come in and throw his heat and sprinkle in a second pitch here and there. Problem is, that shit don't play once you get through the order more than once.

I hear you. Kelly scares me a little bit, I can just see him rifling one in the stands. I can't shake the wild thing image. Maybe it's the glasses and the crazy speed.

I'll never count this team out until they're actually out, but I can't honestly say I like their chances on the road against their 2 best pitchers.

Damn. That was nice.

I swear, soft tossing lefties are this team's kryptonite.

If we get to the World series he has lost his starting spot. Give it to Kelley or Miller.

This is totally pissing me off. WTF has happened to our plate discipline?

Psychologically, they scored a lot yesterday so today they all must feel like worldbeaters so they aren't grinding out good at-bats. Throw in the mix that we are being less patient against a soft-tosser, it's a recipe for disaster.

With Volsong and Cain going for the Giants at home is not an optimal situation. But, we have Carp and Waino going and counting this team out before 27 outs is a bad bet.

In fairness, it's been lacking all season. It seems it's there in ultra-clutch situations, (NLDS Game 5, for example) but otherwise, guys are swinging at anything.

Holliday going for the hat trick. Looks like he's swinging a garden hose.

Swinging at total crap. Striking out on 85 MPH fastballs down the middle. This is the most pathetic at bats I've seen this team take all year. Swinging at a shoulder high fastball thrown by a pitcher than won't throw a fastball for a strike above the knees. All up and down this line up. No damn plate discipline.

Shocking that Boggs gives up a bomb.

The Cards can't hit guys that can't break a pane of glass, it's been that way for a while. Add to that Matheny's "quick hook" taking an inning too long (4 innings too long in my opinion) and that all adds up to an L.
