I hate Extra Innings
they loaded the Cardinals game after the Yankees game AGAIN today and yet again, the Yankees game is going to go 3.5 hours, thus I’ll miss the first inning of the game.
I love paying to get screwed.

Notice a facial resemblance in Kershaw
to Orel Hershiser on the one hand, and Da Raz on the other?

I almost thought it was a joke.

As the rotosidebar says
we are skipping Pineiro’s left start. They blame partly shoulder soreness and partly punishment for coughing up the lead the last two times out.

i think they did that in KC for C. Duncan
and the scorekeeper said the rules say that if the ball is dropped because of weather conditions (where light counts as weather) than it can be scored a hit and not an error.

Not necessarily
but that was the first time one of his pitches was pulverized and produced a run. It’s kinda like everyone here saying “Welcome to the majors!” but with play on the fact that Pujols is a Cardinal. You know, like in the Catholic Church?

that's not really hustle
He’s supposed to be there. That was “guarantee double defense”. In other words, Russell had the double, the object is to keep it a double, so you have two cutoff men (both middle infielders) and the first baseman covers 2nd since there’s nothing else for him to do.
It’s pretty standard. He’s called the trailer and it’s the 1st base coach’s duty to inform the runner of the “trailer”.

Hey Rocketman,
How bout you blast off with your first ML homerun? Come on, it would be fun

Barton is overmatched on fastball.
Hate to say it but it’s shades of Rico Washington all over again.

i wouldn't go that far
at least Barton got a hit today. that’s way more than Rico would have done.
BUT, i still don’t think he’s ready for the show. i think he will be, but he’s not now.

it's funny because, right up until he missed that last pitch
i was thinking “great ab!”
Then he swings and misses on a pitcher’s pitch from a great pitcher and I see several people say “overmatched”. maybe so, but I thought he looked good.

seems obvious. probably still would have if skip made the third out. springer won’t go more than an inning usually.

Can't think of a better example of Ankiel's need to develope without
such high expectations. His swing is lethal…..but not fully functional for a big leaguer. He needs to save the “super cut ” for special occasions only….....

I don't mind his lack of hitting with the D his is playing
But it’s a shame we have 3 position players all in that category. Kind of makes it a problem. If only Molina could hit just a LITTLE bit better.

Why isn't he a starter
as Sleepy pointed out earlier (what is this the third reference?), he’s got the build and stuff of a starter.

Ludwick…..but rather why get a hot bat out of the lineup and screw up his timing perhaps? Thanks Tony.
