so far this year, even when there's nothing happening in a given game . . . . there's always something happening. we're through 5, and the cards lead it, 2 (generously speaking) to 0 . . . . .

Chacon batting?

gameday says chacon is batting for himself? Isn’t he at 100 pitches already?
i guess he has shut us down, kinda, the past couple innings…

96 pitches for Chacon

40th anniversary of Gibson's 1.12 ERA, Think he could pitch in the bullpen now?

they don’t want to burn the pen yet, and yes, he’s been doing okay since the second. or the first, i guess.

miles

is miles really playing 3rd?

Did Troy get the day off?

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

by yer dog first on Apr 25, 2008 11:50 PM EDT   0 recs

no

troy left cuz is eye was watering, after striking out looking twice. miles replaced him in the 3rd.

He struck out twice with the bases loaded

and then saw Madusa or something, left the game with “bad eyes”.

wish i’d thought of that. good one.

glaus out

Took himself out after going 0-2. something with his eye.

by paposse on Apr 25, 2008 11:51 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

hey, hows it doin?
glaus left when he lost his vision.

by adiueordie on Apr 25, 2008 11:51 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He got some water in his eye

from swinging so hard at strike 3, the sweat from his brow swung onto his cornea, and difused his site process[cited: St. Louis Cardinals Team Site]

Why is ryan bunting

this makes no sense

by DriverZn on Apr 25, 2008 11:55 PM EDT   0 recs

Keep them honest?

Flied out on a hit and run. Ouch.

by Evilfrog on Apr 25, 2008 11:57 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

2-0 with Chacon at 100 pitches at nowhere need the plate why hit and run?

by mizzoustlfan on Apr 25, 2008 11:56 PM EDT   0 recs

Sigh, a 6 pitch inning,

What happened to the plate discipline we had in thw first two innings?

Wow

that’s 6 GIDP in only 82 ABs for Schumaker.

by 82Special on Apr 26, 2008 12:00 AM EDT   0 recs

yea

but it messes up LaRussa’s “2 leadoff hitters” philosophy

so does

by Evilfrog on Apr 26, 2008 12:03 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

i love leading the league in GIDP's

means we’re getting a lot of guys on base…

Skip has had 3 of those 6 in the last 2 games; I wouldn’t be too concerned.

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

by SleepyCA on Apr 26, 2008 12:06 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

agree

we’re leading the nl in walks so it makes sense.

by paposse on Apr 26, 2008 12:08 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

might also have something to do

with the fact that our #9 hitter has gotten on base at a .571 clip the last 2 games.

Now I am kind of concerned… skip might break the record!

by mizzoustlfan on Apr 26, 2008 12:03 AM EDT   0 recs

ah.

we lead in HIDP? With the amount of people we leave on base?

Bah humbug.

by Evilfrog on Apr 26, 2008 12:04 AM EDT   0 recs

GIDP

doesn’t that still count for LOB?

Loopers last batter

by mizzoustlfan on Apr 26, 2008 12:05 AM EDT   0 recs

who’s warming up?

by sbentley on Apr 26, 2008 12:06 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

great

can we take him out while it’s “strong.” He’s yet to earn my confidence past 6, let alone 7.

On with the (good) youth movement!

by aet15 on Apr 26, 2008 12:06 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

yeah.

I’ll take 7 innings of 2 h 1 bb and 0 Rs from Looper any day. Every day actually.

by Evilfrog on Apr 26, 2008 12:07 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Blooper

Great game by him, this is really encouraging to see.
7 IP, 2 Hits, 1 BB. Only 2 K, but that’s ok…
ANd he got a hit!

everything is offspeed last 2 innings for Chacon

by mizzoustlfan on Apr 26, 2008 12:09 AM EDT   0 recs

Chacon goes 7 innings?

After throwing 55 pitches in the first 2 innings? That is sad. This was a night to get into that Bullpen with Oswalt going tommorow

by cloistermaximus on Apr 26, 2008 12:11 AM EDT   0 recs

wow

i completely forgot we had 2 runs. I got real mad at the end of the 7th because I thought we were tied. I think I need to go to bed…

"Them Cubbies can kiss my ass" -Dizzy Dean

by Molina4MVP on Apr 26, 2008 12:12 AM EDT   0 recs

Chacon was at 61 pitches after 2. 96 after 5,

we really lost our patince at the plate

Hunter Pence, batting 7th? Goodness.

great catch by schumaker…

by SleepyCA on Apr 26, 2008 12:17 AM EDT   0 recs

Yup

The league just now discovered that he can’t hit breaking balls. You throw him a fastball and he’ll burn you, but he has a hard time driving anything else.

Insurance time

got the heart coming up Miles, Kennedy and Molina.

by ubeddie on Apr 26, 2008 12:21 AM EDT   0 recs

none of them have any LOB tonight.

anybody else remember...

all the blowout losses we absorbed last year?

what a relief for that not to be happening so far this year

he wasn't a FA

would have cost alot of the farm system

by ubeddie on Apr 26, 2008 12:42 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

maybe b/c he wasn’t a free agent :)

by ecaw1123 on Apr 26, 2008 12:42 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

he wasn't a free agent

‘stros traded for him.

by lnewcomer on Apr 26, 2008 12:42 AM EDT to parent up   0 recs

because

he cost the Astros their entire farm system.
