yippeeee
2 more lob in scoring position. thank god we are winning by 4 otherwise i’d be much more upset right now.
I said it in the other thread
Im ok with 2 LOB when 4 get plated. Its the 2 LOB when no one comes across that hurts.
yeah
%stranded is a better way of looking at it than LOB
They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...
pretty much it is because we do not hit homeruns with runners on base
we only have 3 3 run homers on the season
Losing is a disease
How is he doing it?
When we played them, if you threw him straight junk, he was an easy K. Why does anybody ever throw him fastballs?

Look at gameday
Both of his homeruns, as well as Soto’s double game on Fastballs down the middle. It’s completely a mystery to me when pitchers aren’t seeing that.

I hate it but
the Cubs are damn near unbeatable at Wrigley this year. It would take a massive meltdown for them not to win the Central this year. They are a scoring machine at Wrigley no matter who they play.

Waino needs to close them out without letting them score here
it’s what Pineiro couldn’t do versus the Pirates after we took a big lead.

Cliff Floyd?
I was wondering what happened to him. Last I saw him he was trying a Gibson impersonation that ended in a groundout against Wainer in game 7 of the 06 NLCS.
by cloistermaximus on May 17, 2008 3:15 PM EDT reply actions
I'm pretty sure he grounded out on a 12-6 curveball
Because I remember after he struck out Beltran looking, the response to “Why didn’t he at least try to swing at that” was “Cliff Floyd did, and he just grounded out softly. Beltran’s only hope would be that it missed the zone… and it didn’t”

The bottom of the 9th of that game was the most nerve-racking baseball of my entire life. I’m pretty sure it took years off of my life, but the ensuing celebration added them back on :)

Without a doubt
The WS was almost boring in comparison. That Game 7 was such a great game.. Not just because we won to clinch the NL, but it was just an all around great game with that catch from Endy Chavezm, Soup and Perez matching zeros, Molinas heroics, and the game ending with the bases loaded, where one pitch meant one team would win, and one would lose.

The scenario for the NLCS game 7
Was more exciting. The Series win was more satisfaction and elation, but the NLCS game was just adrenaline and a hoarse scream when Beltran just let that ball go. I’m pretty sure my roommates hated me that night.

Whatever I yelled (and it was LOUD),
it was a lot more pleasant than what I yelled after Rolen’s homerun was taken away.
Endy's catch
That was one of those moments where I just KNEW we weren’t going to win. That’s one of those amazing plays/happenings that is a hallmark of a team of destiny or something like that.
I hated hated HATED it at the time, but now I love that catch. I guess I’d still hate it if the outcome were different, but I get chills whenever I watch it. I love both Endy’s reaction and Perez’s look of shock as the ball gets into the infield to double up Jimmy.

I feel exactly the same way.
I was absolutely convinced the game was over when Endy caught that ball, but WHAT an amazing catch! God that was a fantastic game.
One of the best I've ever seen
I think that Twins/Braves World Series game in ‘91(?) was probably better, but it didn’t have my club :)

It’s not a good move to use your bullpen in a game where we might have to use it tomorrow. Especially since we’ve been on such a hot streak.
He has been 'saving' the bullpen alot lately
this team has youth in the minor leagues to replenish the pen if it gets burnt out.

come on, skip
get a hit, and we can sub the pitcher in for miles in the 9th

that works too. In the way it doesn’t

cuz he wanted to shake things up
he was slumping a bit
If we lose this one, it could be one of the most gut wrenching losses of the year

Nah, it's interleague
the loss to the Brewers from Izzy was worse.

Look at it this way, losing this game would be more of the same – winning it could be reversing the trend. Or something.

If you take out him dominating the Cardinals
look at what he did to the Cubs and now the Red Sox. Brutal.

Gameday shows Ball 4
as strike 3, or atleast a perfect pitch.

I was suspicious, too
Greg Gibson is known as a hitter’s umpire. BP used to publish umpire stats that I remember showed the rep was backed by numbers.
Please tell me
he didn’t get another hit.

Trashing J.D. never goes out of style. For the longest time I had him running face first into the outfield wall as my desktop.

Not to mention
some decent use out of Ray King and Marquis. Had to be one of the best moves by Jocketty – which is saying a lot IMO.

If he had hit it to the RF corner and Gabe Gross had fallen down
I would have wanted Aaron to stay on 1st so Pujols gets pitched to

Did he get caught stealing?
It was the right call. Even though there were less than 2 outs, you have Pujols up who doesn’t K much, and you want to avoid the DP. It just didn’t work out that time.

No
I’m saying it wasn’t a hit and run. There’s no possibility of that. Miles was just a total idiot on that play.
With no evidence to the contrary, Colby Rasmus is clutch
what do you mean?
of course it was a hit and run.
And I awoke in California, far far from Spancilhill...
It can't possibly be
TLR can’t be that dumb. You send the runner on 3-2, you don’t hit and run with 2 strikes. If Miles doesn’t get a jump he absolutely cannot go.
With no evidence to the contrary, Colby Rasmus is clutch
what?
3-2 is the best time to start the runner? And with albert on at the plate? A single wins it with the runner started. Blame Pujols for not getting the bat on the ball there.
you don't win
after making stupid mistakes like that.
Just like thursday against Pittsburgh

gotta blame albert for that one. He simply refused to let miller walk him…

I don't understand why everyone is suprised
Shannon said that if Albert strikes out Miles would be out but you take that chance since Albert doesn’t strike out much but does hit DP balls more.
Definitely
