Shildt gave so few ****s about winning this game that not only did he run out the getaway day lineup, but when the Cardinals took the lead the first time he still sent Wacha out there with nothing. And when they started to get closer, he sent out the 13th man on the starting staff who just got called up and didn't even bother to double-switch him in even though he was leading off the next inning.
Then he left said 13th man in to hit. And even after the Cardinals took the lead he went and brought up the OTHER most recent minor league callup, Webb, instead of Miller - our $12 million lefty. I went from frustrated to Shildt's inaction to bemused by his complete ambivalence. I've never seen a manager just say "eh, **** it" even when his team keeps battling back. The Dodgers have done absolutely everything in their power to give the Cardinals this game despite the Cardinals having absolutely no urgency in trying to take it.

And now your catcher is getting breaks when balls rocket back to him from the backstop and STILL throwing the ball 15 feet wide of 3b. He had Martinez by 6-8 feet if he'd have just thrown the ball somewhere in the vicinity of the bag.

I think the Dodgers are just wanting to get the hell out of town. Cards have scored 11 runs without hitting a HR.
Walks, errors, wild pitches, you name it. |

And that's a winner. For now, anyway, they're tied for first.

Siegrist went to the Pirates and Phillies, didn't he? Then I think he refused to report to the minors last spring and that was that. Haven't heard from him in awhile. Maness is the exact kind of fungible rag-arm that I'd throw out there as often as possible while he's effective knowing full well I'm gonna burn him up because who cares? The league's gonna figure him out anyway and there are a dozen guys just like him in AAA. Gant is like that for me right now. I'd pitch him as often as I needed to while he's getting guys out. Because I'd be surprised if he's in the league in 3 years anyway; guys that are fringy relievers with no real projectability just stop getting guys out one day and that's that. So while they're getting guys out, use 'em. Thoroughbreds like Siegrist and Rosenthal, though (and now Hicks)....damn I hate what we did to those guys.

Eleven runs with two extra base hits. Makes sense.
