nice at-bat by izturis there; way to go, c. still a ballgame, but that wasted rally in the bottom of the 3rd really smarts. good to see ankiel break out of it.

cards trail 4-3 and still batting in the bottom of the 6th.

How many more times will it happen

I’d say we saw the first and last time tonight

Guessing just this once

In fact, I’m fairly skeptical that they’ve even both hit in the same inning before. Let alone extra bases.

And I wouldn’t count on a repeat.

Wow

Ludwick has no clue tonight

by gocards62 on Apr 28, 2008 10:06 PM EDT reply reply   0 recs

I gotta question TLR on putting Ludwick in as a leadoff hitter

The guy takes no walks and strikes out a ton, and he’s facing a pitcher that eats free swingers alive.

Yes he should

however, Duncan-Ludwick-Ankiel shouldn’t exist as an OF.

yeah i would like...

to see the cards deal duncan but will probably never happen

probably not.....

if you play ludwick you have to sit duncan or have ryan on the field

The article that said suggested a Duncan, Ankiel, Ludwick lineup...

Isn’t looking good so far. Like I said, I have no interest in seeing the cardinals lead the league in K’s.

People say K’s don’t matter, but I see very little strikeout hitters hitting for good average.

-2

AVG is irrelevant. OBP is the money melon.

Also irrelevant: One game sample sizes.

Well who the hell can see forever?

"takes no walks"???

Ludwick’s walk rate this year: 12.7%
Schumaker: 13.3%

The difference is basically insignificant.

(You can find these things out for yourself with just a little bit of work, you know).

Possiable.

But more than likely it was 2 runs.

I wasn't in here on the other thread but has it been pointed out

that this strikezone is awful?

Ball hit the runner at first

off of the bat. The runner is out. And the ball is dead. Everyone else had to go back to thier bag.

oh wow

the runners can’t move up. I’ll be damned….Randy Flores should make a sacrifice to the baseball gods after the game cause they just smiled on him….
