Game 21 overflow thread II

Birdos_avatar_tiny by lboros on

better lucky than good, eh? it's 8 to 8, and the cards have 2 on and 2 out in the top of the 9th. . . . . as in every other inning in this stupid game. they have stranded 13 men so far today. what's the franchise record for a 9-inning game?

that one hurt Glaus….

by Timbo02 on Apr 22, 2008 4:32 PM EDT   0 recs

who's the middle infield now?

hoping iz2 can stick it out. if not, probably schumaker moves into one of the mif spots, i guess?

coal, coal, coal.

I guess we’ve all been naughty this year.

holy shit

can you possibly win after giving up this many chances to score runs??

by gossard56 on Apr 22, 2008 4:32 PM EDT   0 recs

Holy Cow

This could be interesting.

What is this?

An all-star game?

by liam on Apr 22, 2008 4:46 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

15 men left on in 9 innings

if it’s not a franchise record, it’s got to be close

by lboros on Apr 22, 2008 4:33 PM EDT   0 recs

oh wow

Bert to 2nd…LaRUe to first…Miles to short..molina to catch

by brindled on Apr 22, 2008 4:33 PM EDT   0 recs

a bit of

um

pujols at 2nd

i predict hilarity

i'm laughing already

maybe he’ll win gold gloves for two different positions in the same season.

by effin fisk on Apr 22, 2008 4:34 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

lets leave pujols at second

and duncan at first tomorrow if this works

In Bert

I trust

by brindled on Apr 22, 2008 4:34 PM EDT   0 recs

he has never played an inning at second base

in his major league career, per mlb.tv.

one game at short in 2002

I'm usually a big TLR backer

the moves today have me baffled

C'mon you Redbirds, lets prove em' wrong, again!

by yer dog first on Apr 22, 2008 4:34 PM EDT   0 recs

i agree, i trust in albert’s natural ability…but larue at 1st could be interesting..

by jodicards on Apr 22, 2008 4:35 PM EDT   0 recs

Perhaps

Larue will take a catchers stance behind first…

by brindled on Apr 22, 2008 4:36 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

worst roster management this year

This is what happens when TLR burns through his outfielders left and right. Ridiculous.

by azruavatar on Apr 22, 2008 4:36 PM EDT   0 recs

yes

ridiculous!!!

by gossard56 on Apr 22, 2008 4:38 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

we better win this one soon

we expended all of our resources to get to the bottom of the ninth.

if it goes more than 10 or 11, we lose.

by busch league on Apr 22, 2008 4:36 PM EDT   0 recs

Fantasy implications...

Man, I’d be happy if I had Pujols on my team and he was 2b eligible…

by Yellow Dog on Apr 22, 2008 4:38 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I am

My keeper league allows to move a player if he plays one game during the season at a position. For the rest of the year, AP will be at 2B.

Like was said before,TLR mismanaged his outfielders. Can’t use that as an excuse

Nice communication

LaRue called that one before the bunt…

Ankiels at bat totally unexceptable!!!!!!!

Guy is throw 50% change ups and Glaus is trying to pull something. What is this???

Westcoastbirdwatcher

by westcoastbirdwatcher on Apr 22, 2008 4:37 PM EDT   0 recs

Ankiel is a young hitter.........in many ways

You are seeing the evolution of Ankiel out of the 4th slot at least. When you need a single against a pitcher in that much trouble, with only a change up left, you don’t throw your right hand, open your shoulder. pull your chin out…...dreaming of baseball tonight coverage….......

by jodicards on Apr 22, 2008 4:38 PM EDT   0 recs

Pujols at second

Aren’t we worried about his throwing arm elbow? Why is he at second?

is interested in getting on SportsCenter tonight.

i know larue did

and looked quite good, better than miles imho. I don’t know why they moved albert instead.

And I awoke in California, far far from Spancilhill...

by SleepyCA on Apr 22, 2008 4:40 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I was gonna say,

I’d rather see La Rue in left and Skip at second than Albert at second.

Trivia types?

when was the last time two starting pitchers were used as pinch hitters in the same game? Anyone know how to find out?

Curse you Endy!!!!!

by boisebird on Apr 22, 2008 4:39 PM EDT   0 recs

When was the last time two pitchers batted 8th

AND two starting pitchers were used as pinch hitters in the same game?

The annoucers were talking about how many times albert has taken a throw from the catcher and made a tag? DId he forget that Yadi is behind the plate?
