espn.com doesn't often have a worthwhile article, but there's an amusing one up there today which asks: are the giants the worst hitting team of the last 50 years? and if they're not, who is?
they are definitely worst in the nl to date: last in scoring, last in obp, 14th in slugging, 15th in homers. they are 1st in SBs, however.

Kip Wells
Maybe I missed it elsewhere, but did you guys see Baron von Kippington pull off the W in the 22-inning marathon last night in San Diego?
His line:
4 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 3 K, HBP, 53 pitches
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/boxscore?gameId=280417125
I found it interesting that 4 non-starters had 3 or more IP in relief. Kipper was the only starter out of those 4. Ledezma for the Padres had 5 IP on 80 pitches. He is a former starter though: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?statsId=7086

Did you know? TLR no sugar
Just to point out how dubious I am of FSN’s Do You Know yesterday, LaRussa is a big fan of wine and unless I remember incorrectly,wine is very high in sugar content, no?

that the man has no sugar in his diet.

guess it depends
on what you define as suger? refined sugars? artificial sugars? Yes technically cards would count as sugars at some level as well. I’ll just take away from it that he tries to eat healthy.
Nutritionists correct me
But isn’t any starch/carbohydrate broken down into sugar anyway basically?
With no evidence to the contrary, Colby Rasmus is clutch
yes
which is why i made the point that it could be the type of sugars being referred to. I’m sure natural occuring sugars are in everyone’s diet. It probably is a good idea to avoid the refined ones (high fructose corn syrup anyone?)
I'm with you
He’s probably talking about sucrose (table sugar) and HFCS as well, since that’s how the ingredients are listed on food labels.
All starches/sugars are turned into blood glucose.

It’s silly to complain about the Cardinals record, but they should have won last night’s game (if not for Skippy) and one of the SF games they lost

C'mon now ...
you can’t hang yesterday’s loss on Skip … he made every effort to get that ball … they were playing to pull, and he blooped it on the line … it happens … he might not have got the best jump; but, when Fielder is up, who breaks IN on the first step? ... it was just bad luck … just like it was good luck when Dunc got that bloop single to win a game recently … just like when Albert just happened to catch that line drive to bail out Izzy’s arse the other day … luck is part of baseball … please get off Skip’s case …

Which is well enough but if it is all coming across direct tv and local stl feeds then i need to have a serious conversation with my local cable company for a week that had to shut down my cable boxes each night to reset them so i could get the game i was already supposed to be getting, now the audio is screwed up.

It was a smart out
Runners on 2nd and 3rd, none out. A deep fly gets the runner from 3rd in, but doesn’t necessarily get the runner from 2nd to 3rd. A grounder to 2nd, however, moves both runners up one. You definitely can’t say he was doing that on purpose, but it was probably the most productive out he could have made.

You can bet he was
trying to hit it behind the runner. La Russa’s teams stress that in ST.

Trying for the hit not a sacrifice

"If I managed the Cubs, I'd be an Alcoholic." - Whitey Herzog
That's what I thought too
The official scorer ruled it a sac.
Something that I’m wary of is the prospect of a speedy runner advancing to 3rd on sac bunts to try to draw throws across the diamond from el Hombre.
me I don't trust offical scorers
Sometimes I think they just go with what should of happened on the play not exactly how it happens. Tradition says a guy bunts with a runner on first it has to be a sacrifice. That or else they just want to help out players Batting Average

The argument could be made for any combination of the three, as they’re all hitting right now. I love Brian Barton so far, but when the guys TLR puts out there do what they’ve been doing, you can’t complain too much when he’s not in the lineup.

True, I wish we had the same argument
about the middle infield. Lets hope Mo finds a way to convert an OF into an IF via trade.

ya he's only hitting slap singles
before his two strikeouts, he was .308/.386/.308
that isn’t something that’s going to continue. if you have zero power in your bat pitchers will just groove you fastballs. he’s just not much of a hitter anymore.
You'd think he would've reconstructed his swing
during the offseason after what happened last year. He’s taken some points from The Science of Hitting to a harmful extreme.
it's unfortunate as I really liked the idea of a homecoming
to the organization that drafted him, but his bat just looks dead.
Man, that bunt attempt looked ugly ...

“It’s tough not to play him,” La Russa said. “He certainly does a lot to deserve to be in there. A lot of it is clutch, too.”

how can you complain?

We may learn something soon
Wellemeyer’s at 67 pitches after four. Cards have a seven run lead (and counting).
Joe Rogers is out for the year at Memphis and Hugo Castellanos made a spot start (5 shutout innings from the 1/4 pitcher).
If LaRussa pulls Wellemeyer after the fifth and uses Wonderbrad for an inning or two, it could be more about getting him work today to put him on schedule to take Rogers spot in the rotation at Mempis than getting his confidence back up after last night.
