why is he in the lineup for “offense” when he’s hitting .140?

God this is ****ing embarrassing.

Another "Shildty" decision. Great instincts...

It's about time they struck that shitbird out.

Pitching is giving them every chance to win this game.

Halladay was a great pitcher. No hit by Sanchez is an embarrassment.

Nats are just begging to use their bullpen. But the Cards hitters say no way.

No hitter confirmed. DAmn.

Yup. That’s gonna be a no hitter boys.

DeJong is so ****ing head ****ed. Seriously swinging at the first pitch there?

And Dejong gets jammed again swinging in the first pitch. WTF?

Lay down a ****ing bunt. I don’t care if it’s Bush league. Maybe it would light a fire for this series.

I don’t even give a shit about winning this game. Just get a ****ing hit.

Looking at that pitch count by innings, I mean **** they haven't came close to making him pitch.

There you go.

Finally.

Thank Christ

Base hit. Eat shit Sanchez.

so much for all that fire and brimstone that no one comes in here and ****s with us. They just repeat the same mistakes all game, every AB, all up and down the lineup. That’s laying down, not fighting to win.

NOT a strike.

This zone is so goddamned bad. This guy is a complete ****ing clown.

Die Fowler. 4321

Absolutely terrible managed (and umped) game

Yeah, Shildt should have told them to hit the ball!

How was it terribly managed? Want Shildt to take at bats against an average pitcher?

One decision to not walk a guy doesn't equal "terribly managed". The reality is the offense sucks balls. Thats a talent issue.

Played too. These guys have executed like shit. All that first pitch hacking either got them out right away or put them behind, and they keep trying to elevate the ball in weather where the ball won't travel

Taking out Gallegos when he kills LHH to bring in Miller then immediately bringing in Brebbia afterwards when he had been up 3x is terrible managing.

Terribly managed and yet only given up 2 runs.

Dude had hit a few guys and walked a few and had 83 pitches through 7 or some shit. Ridiculous.

For ****'s sake, these guys just refuse to call check swing strikes against these hitters.

Offense is an embarrassment tonight.

Ultimately won’t matter since they won’t score anyway, but we’ve gotten rat****ed on those at least twice.

Christ, Schildt. Webb has pitched well and just gave up a grounder. Keep using all these guys and they're going to be fried if this series even makes it five games.

Carlos is good for 1 out I guess. Shouldn’t be a closer though.

That seems a little overly optimistic.

Manage this game worse, Mike.

1 out might be his attention span.

Schildt just keeps asking to get ****ed by big innings. Not that it will matter with one hit, but it's still a terrible tactical decision.

What the **** Wong

:clap:

This is why I wanted LA. Kershaw twice instead of some slapdick.

Cards are just lame.

For all the fun that inning against Atlanta was, they have scored 0, 0, and 1 run in 3/6 games they've played. Just terrible.

Basically what its been all year, no surprise. Will be interesting to see how it goes tomorrow.

Its all about pitching and making runs count.

Lame Cardinals teams still make the NLCS. Suck on that haters.

Team is lame and boring but still has a chance for a WS birth.

Nothing like watching your team shit their collective pants on a playoff game at a bar in Cooperstown. :facepalm:

NL has a lot of teams who choke in the playoffs. Cardinals not so much.

The Kershaw thing is just crazy & the Braves have lost 10 straight series in the playoffs? Wow. The Cubs are chokers & so are the Brewers.

,,,but will get swept and Mo and his group of dunces won't improve the roster in the offseason (again)

yeah our offense has disappeared at times all year. But the AB’s were just pathetic tonight. They didn’t adapt at all.

Footbal coaches and players make adjustments at halftime. Can or do other baseball teams make adjustments to their pre-game plans to attack a pitcher?

Not counting this season you've been to 16 playoffs in 36 years and lost 13 of them,that seems like a fair amount of choking to me.

By that assumption every team in MLB is a choker.

LMAO

3 championships in 16 attempts isn’t that bad. What is so funny? We would all give our left nut for the Chiefs to have that success.

We have been to 4 WS and won 2 of them the last 15 season pervious to this one. Thats not even close to choking.

Enjoy another 100 year of futility.

I still think we have a good shot in this series. This team just has a weird game against average pitchers sometimes.

You've got to win 4 of 6 games against Sherzer, Corbin and Strausburg. And the Nationals have been one of the most resilient teams in the history of the sport.

And they get to face Flaherty. Whatever, I don’t expect this team to win it all anyways.

In that same 36 years The Royals have had 4 shots and won 2. Oh and before we start the argument of "at least we made the playoffs" good on you,I guess, but the last time I checked Championships are the ultimate measure.

Good job. You got the same win % as the Yankees throughout their history. Thumbs up, take that their forum and report back.

Royals 2 championships. Yankees 27. Same win percentage though.

11 to 2. Percentage is the measurement though.

Aww, little brother is puffing out his chest.

We faced the Nationals in the last week of the regular season. They were fighting for a wild card spot. We were fighting for the Division. We faced Sherzer, Corbin and Strausburg. We won 2/3.

For whatever reasons this team cant hit soft tossing pitchers. But, can handle the pitchers with great stuff. We beat the Philly team that supposedly had the 3 best pitchers of all time to start an NLDS. No explaining why this is, but its continues for a long time.


The Cardinals have a history of overperforming in the playoffs too. aka...Last time we played Washington, They were supposed to be this unbeatable powerhouse. Pete Kozma took them down. We didnt even deserve to make the playoffs in 2006 and 20011. Yet we won the World Series both years. I'd not write us off yet.

LMAO

The Royals turned 50 years old this season do you know how many Championships the Cards have in those 50 years?

3

KC has 2 and one was against you so please spare me the little brother routine.

Pitiful Royals fans wish they could make the playoffs. Poor red headed step child of baseball.

At least we make it count when we get there,see above.

Dude, the dipshit Cardinals fans talking shit to you back in college was a long time ago. Let it go.LMAO

Really,it looks likes there's still a few right here in this thread.

Ahhh come on man you brought the trash talking in here. You knew you'd provoke a response. ;)

Ok? This is a cardinals thread. Are you upset half of your fanbase has returned to being Cubs and Red Sox fans or something?

uhhh he's a Cubs fan too.

I had no idea Fowler was hitting this bad....


Since 9/1:

.159 BA
119 AB's
19 Hit's
22 BB's

Playoffs:

.077 BA
26 AB's
2 Hits
2 BB's

LMAO

Are Chiefs fans really badmouthing a Kansas City baseball team? ROFL

I've honestly got nothing against the Royals. I don't douche it up in Royals threads and I've probably been to 75 games at the K in my life. But if they want to give us shit dont be surprised when they get it back.

I guess you didn't/don't mind being the farm team laughing stock of the league the other 40+ years then.
