Can you imagine our prospects for this season
if our bullpen were performing at last year’s level?

bullpen didn't really implode;
run expectancy when Piniero came out was 1.65, and we gave up 2, which is just about right.
Could have been a whole lot worse! Frigging diamondbacks bullpen was supposed to be the best in the league.

by AdjustedExpectations on May 10, 2008 6:29 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
OK.
Outside of Pujols, whom did you expect (not hope) would be nails offensively on this team? I hoped that Duncan would live up to some of his past. I hoped Ankiel would provide the protection that Edmonds couldn’t any longer. I hoped that Glaus would provide more than Rolen has the last few year.
I wouldn’t say you could expect any of those things. You don’t ask a guy to build an house without inspecting the materials you gave him. This team should have fairly low OPS expectations nearly across the board. Unfortunately, they pulled a bait and switch with the early season success. This isn’t a coaching issue. This is an issue of a team of young, mostly light-hitting offensive players. We all should have known we were in for this.
by etp_stl on May 10, 2008 6:33 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I don't know
We have a .790 OPS as a team with RISP, which is 4th in the NL. We should be scoring more runs and we aren’t and I just can’t figure out why; I think we are due for a landslide.
And I awoke in California, far far from Spancilhill...
by SleepyCA on May 10, 2008 6:39 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
What has been the trend on that number?
I haven’t done the homework, so I’m asking. I would venture to believe it has been in decline recently. We seemed to get some exceptional timely hitting and starting pitching that none of us expected. It seems like we are regressing back to the norm. I don’t know that we can reasonably expect guys like Schumaker to maintain his high OPS. We have Miles, Schumaker, Kennedy, Molina, Ryan, and Izturis who are clearly slap hitters. That is a large portion of your batting order on any given night. In addition, Duncan and Glaus really haven’t been providing enough compared to expectations. (Though, Glaus has produced more than his hitting numbers should indicate.)
by etp_stl on May 10, 2008 6:45 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
yeah, not the time to attack him.
neither does it seem like he is in fact the worst hitting coach around.
by tom s. on May 10, 2008 6:23 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
and if anyone is going to blame hal
isn’t Larry Walker hanging around this week? I think he’s been with the team since the start of the Rockies series. So blaming the hitting staff when it’s the BP doesn’t make sense.

by dangpenguins on May 10, 2008 6:29 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Being patient
doesn’t mean crap when you don’t get the runners in. Walking more is nice and all but doesn’t mean squat if the runners don’t score.
by DKelly28 on May 10, 2008 6:31 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
So, OBP means nothing?
The popular sentiment (and I’m beginning to come around to it) is that OBP is extremely important. However, this is showing why the S on OPS is so important. You still have to have somebody that can drive in runs. The Cards have Pujols, who is getting pitched around. The Cards have Ludwick, who plays more sparingly than he has earned. The Cards have Duncan, who has shown little run production this year. The Cards have Glaus, who is producing runs despite an horrific BA. They have Ankiel, who is going to be streaky as he is still learning.
This is the issue that caused most of us not to believe in spring. We got blinded by some exceptional pitching early in the season, but it is catching up to us now. A coach can preach patience, but he can’t turn a career .700 OPS guy into a .900 OPS guy. Sorry.

I don't know
but if you ask me I think we need to start injecting some Memphis lovin’ into this pitching staff pretty soon. Pretty sad that we’re going from looking for a clean up hitter or maybe one more starting arm and now the whole bullpen staff is disarray

Joe Buck said, I know a lot of you people think Scooter is childish, so we got a real major-league pitcher to describe how a changeup is thrown.

Thank goodness
A clutch hit with the bases loaded?
A save not blown in the 9th?
Huzzah!!

I actually liked what I seen from Franklin
he looked great in the 9th, and that double was more fluke than anything. Not saying I’d put him there everyday, but that’s the best I’ve seen him look in a while, and it wasn’t in the 8th.

Whew
I bet the clubhouse needed this one. They sounded SO dispirited.

I hate FOX
I come home to a ninth inning lead and FOX can’t even have bonus coverage of the victory. /spit

Now we have a momentum win
I mean, we could have lost that a few times, we got it. We have Waino and then Looper finish out this series. Let’s get some bats warmed up and actually give this a chance.
I’m going to be pissed if they blow an excellent outing of either of those guys, so we best have something in store.

Good to stay a game up on the Cubs
I like our matchup tomorrow. The Randy Johnson vs. Carlos Zambrano tilt for the Snakes/Cubs should be a good one.
And if we take the next two, we’ll be back to ten over .500.

Pretty big "ifs"
I’ll be happy with a .500 road trip, myself.

Agreed
However, I mentioned this a few days ago and it still feels at home.
I feel that the Cards need to pick a number of games above .500 and chase that instead of looking at what anyone else is doing. If nothing else, this team is built for chasing things down, we have that mentality. But if we’re sitting in the division lead and looking back, they will catch.
So let’s pick 20 games over .500 and chase the hell out of that. I don’t think the Brewers nor the Cubs have the team mentality to chase us if we’re working towards that goal. I don’t think they can handle the pressure. Cubs have played and approached this year with a sense of entitlement and the Brewers may fall later in the year unless they find some depth (or get on fire with the bat so heavy to overcome that depth).
If we’re going to do something this year we need to chase something, and use the indirect consequence of that to put pressure on teams that aren’t built to try and keep up.

Good perspective.
I would also commend LaRussa on this topic. He has always purported that that is his managerial method. He has always talked about approaching the regular season as a climb above .500. He has always set goals based on the number of games above .500.
I agree that this team plays best with a chip on its shoulder. It has been most successful when we all counted them out.

Perez still needs to be called up
the bullpen is shaky all around. You can only count on Villone and K-Mac (to an extent) right now. Franklin is consistent…at getting by on the skin of his teeth. Parisi is the long reliever. Izzy and Springer couldn’t get my grandmother out if they started her with an 0-2 count and no bat.
The bullpen needs some fresh life to rest these tired arms. Hopefully someone in the organization recognizes this and does something. TLR can’t keep sending out the ‘caggy’ veterans and expect them to get guys out with tired arms based on guts and guile.

Id call up...
Motte before Perez…he’s eating batters alive in Memphis.
Was that “cagey”.
Wow…your grandmother must be up on a high horse with you too! LOL!

Does this sound familiar?
“I don’t deserve that ninth inning right now. It’s pretty simple…I don’t need breaks. I need to keep going out there. I need results…I get myself in a situation, in a jam, every single time I’m out there. You can’t pitch like that.” – Co-blown saves leader Eric Gagne

Someone at Yahoo Sports is watching us
From Closing Time />
An update of sorts: The commenters at Viva El Birdos wouldn’t mind seeing Perez. Someone suggested that they clone McClellan, which would have HUGE fantasy implications. Delightfully, they use the words “Franklin” and “beer” interchangeably, because, as Hardcore Legend puts it, “you have to be drunk to handle some of the contact he gives up.”
I feel dirty. The rightful owner of ‘Franklins’, please stand up and be counted.
