But of course, he makes up for it with his mediocre-at-best fielding. And he's batting in the 3-spot! And is also the highest paid guy on the team! WOOHOO |

Do you miss Theriot as well? |

Apparently several of you are related to Holliday. :facepalm:

Laser shot by Molina, hopefully Lohse doesn't screw it up.
|
Damn, Molina 4-4 today.
|
Brilliant play, hit and run and clutch hit by Skip. :thumb:
|
Since signing the big contract after the 2010 season Matt is hitting . 285, slugging .505 but the question remains if he is doing that with runners in scoring position. He has only 87 RBI in 532 AB.
|
Total team effort today. Nice job, fellas.
It took literally every single person on the team to manage to lose that !@#$ing game today. From everyone's complete indifference with runners in scoring position to Garcia's predictable implosion to Matheny's hairbrained double steal on a hit and run with 2-strikes on the hitter - nobody didn't do their part to choke away the sweep. The goddamn towel boy had to show up with his head up his ass today for them to lose this one. Complete effort all around, gentlemen. Hold your heads high - every one of you were critical to today's outcome. Christ - what an absolutely miserable loss. |

Craig is back, Komatsu sent down.

I believe Komatsu was DFA'd?
|
Quote:
Essentially he is offered back to his former club. If they pass, he goes through waivers (where everyone else has to pass). If nobody claims him, then and only then can he go back to the minors. In other words, Komatsu's gone. Should've cut Greene or optioned Robinson instead, IMO. I don't care if Greene's out of options, he's a dogshit ballplayer. |
I don't really understand what Greene brings to the club. Hell, I'd rather they rush Wong along.
|
Quote:
Ultimately if Furcal is injured I'd rather see Descalso slide over to SS and Skip at 2b. Yeah - Greene's that bad. He's Theriot levels of awful. |

|
This team can surely hit.

Berkmann comes back healthy, with the addition of a healthy Craig, this lineup could have 7 guys that could hit over 300.
|
Quote:
The Pirates pitching has been very very good this year and we have put a 6 spot on them in 5 innings. |
IMO, the best lineup would be with Beltran in the 2 hole in front of Holliday.
Furcal Beltran Holliday Berkmann Freese Craig Molina Descalso P Or Jay hitting 2 with Beltran where Craig is. |
Quote:
|
Hell, put Schumaker in the 8th hole. I'm not a huge fan of him, but he can hit a little.
If they can get the pitching staff healthy, this team is gonna have a good chance to make some noise. By that I mean Carpenter. I would love for them to bring Miller up to be the 5th man this year, but I'm just being greedy. |
"Choker" is 3-4 with a HR and 2RBI now.

Choker with another rbi

I wonder if we'll face them in the playoffs? |
Quote:
He's not that bad. So he's not "clutch". He is still a valuable part of the team. He moved his family to st. Louis. Does charity work. He is good friends with Freese, pal around in the off season.Working to keep Freese from crawling back into the bottle. Invites minor league talent to work out with them in St. Louis. He palys with passion. There are more parts that are needed on a team other than "clutch". |
Phillies Halladay is really ****ing good. Ok, carry on w/ the STL thread. Except Brian McCann just hit a GS off of him!

He isn't. It's not like I want him to suck. If he pulls out of this slump and stays out of it, I'll be thrilled. Hope it happens. But I won't hold my breath. |

Beltran with 2 3 run HR's tonight. Mozeliak is just striking gold left and right.
Walt Jockety is doing what in Cincy? He just signed Votto to how much$? |
HAHAHA
Molina sold that foul tip. That's funny shit right there. |
Speaking of Freese, he was at his old high school Monday visiting the baseball team. I was there for a tennis tournament - dude signed autographs for what must have been an hour and a half. I didn't see him turn anyone away.

The Braves are worse than the Chiefs.
|
The Braves are AWESOME!
|
sorry ***** the Phillies!

OK Braves Fan out of your precious Red Bird thread.

From todays article in the SPD - Matt Holliday has officially heated up, batting .333 with three homers and 13 RBIs in his last 12 games.
Good article with some pretty funny jabs at AP. http://www.stltoday.com/sports/columns/bernie-miklasz/bernie-cardinals-make-forecasts-look-silly/article_1872b8d9-abf7-5f24-916c-14f47d5beed2.html "Pujols’ de facto replacement, Carlos Beltran, had two homers and seven RBIs in the first three innings Wednesday. Compare that to Pujols, who had no homers and five RBIs in his first 205 innings this season. Disneyland is down the street from the Angels’ ballpark; I’m guessing we’ll soon find Moreno boarding the "California Screamin" ride at the amusement park. The gracious Beltran is such a class act, he’ll probably donate a few of his homers and RBIs to the Pujols Family Foundation." |
I hate that Larussa gave up on the chance to sweep on getaway games. Looks like Matheny is taking the same approach. Rolled out the "B" lineup and lost.
The only saving grace is their theory of its a 162 game season and that players need to be rested or they dont have the strength to make a stretch run at the end or any gas left in the tank for the playoffs. That approach certaintly worked out well last year. :hmmm: |
It wasn't really the B lineup today, just a day off for Beltran (who needed on, last night notwithstanding).
I'm pulling this directly from my ass, but they just don't seem to gear up for day games. They may get a run or two early, then they try to coast for the remainder. You could see that outcome coming even before Alvarez hit the dinger that gave them the 3-2 lead; the Cards were either gonna win that game 2-1, or they were gonna lose it. Sho 'nuff... |

In the long run I like the B team plan after you win the first two. The goal should be to win series but you need to get players rest and almost as important is to get your bench player action. These guys may be needed in the clutch times its better they are not rusty

Wife of Stan "the Man" Musial died today at 91. Unfortunately that means Stan is probably not far behind.

WTF was Carpenter in RF and Craig at 1B? Cost us the game.

But that was my thought as well. |

In case you haven't been following along, Albert's now below the Mendoza line with a .194 and getting dangerously close to a sub .500 OPS at .506
