| Boggs | Bailey |
| 0-0, 0.00 | 0-1, 2.84 |
the highly touted bailey hasn't been able to throw strikes since reaching triple A. in his two partial years at the level (2007-08) he has walked 4.5 men per 9 innings pitched; at the big league level he has been even worse, walking more than 6.0 men per 9 in his 10 starts for cincinnati the last couple of years.
mitch boggs becomes the 8th cardinal since 2006 to make his first major-league start. name the other 7.

Fresh Meat!!
For a patient offense like the 2008 Cardinals, we should be all over the base paths tonight! C’mon Boggs, show us what you can do!
So says, Titus Pullo (formerly The Dude)
all correct except keisler
keisler already had 17 major-league starts before joining st louis last year. you’re still looking for the 8th guy.
2006 - 2008 rotations
top 5 in GS:
2006: Marquis, Carp, Suppan, Mulder, Reyes (Weaver and Ponson come in 6th and 7th)
2007: Wainwright, Looper, Wells, Reyes, Thompson (Pineiro/Wellemeyer tie for 6th, Maroth 8th)
2008: Lohse, Looper, Wainwright, Wellemeyer (3 way tie for 2nd one game off 1st), Pineiro
The rotation has really changed from 06, not one remaining member not even Reyes. From 07 only WW and Looper remain. That is one hell of a turnover rate.

Going to be a tough win
Guy making his 1st start on the road, a far cry from Welly. But I have faith in Boggs being a legit MLB pitcher (if not now than later) so game on!
Not just on the road
But on the little league-dimensioned field that is the Great Amerian Ballpark.

jay bruce's first 7 games in the big leagues
.577 / .667 / 1.705
in his 2d set of 7 games:
.241 / .333 / .276
His answer for both is the same
“Sample size”
not bad for a player.
He also said there is only one Ken Griffey
which is funny when you think about it for awhile.
Did he reall slug 1.705? Or is that his OPS?
If that was his SLG then that’s just ridiculous. I wouldn’t mind seeing something more like the .276 for at least the next three games…

Lotta tough lefties lately....
for Bruce…. Hamels, Hendrickson, Andrew Miller… I think Florida started four straight lefties against them this past weekend.
like that lineup
might swap Ryan and Iz2 – but not terrible top to bottom
by Pitchers Hit Eighth on Jun 10, 2008 6:56 PM EDT up reply actions
I would definitely swap Ryan and Iz2
Interesting that he’s got Luddy back in the 2 hole. Maybe the young pitcher will be so afraid of Pujols that he’ll give Luddy meat to hit into the Ohio (I don’t even know if that stadium is close to the river or if home plate even faces it)

I just wanted to say
That Adam Dunn has hit a ball into the river. On the bounce, but still pretty damn impressive. Here’s what baseball-reference has to say about it.
Adam Dunn is the only player in Major League history to hit a ball into another state. In 2005, Dunn hit a home run out of Great American Ballpark in Ohio into the Ohio River. However, that part of the river is owned by Kentucky.

by from First to Third on Jun 10, 2008 6:53 PM EDT reply actions
Actually
I think I’d rather wait to see how he performs as a MLB starter. I think it would be nice to get him a few more innings in the minors, but since 77.3% of our pitching staff is on the mend, it’s almost necessary.
That being said, it should be interesting to see.

no question he meant "whither."
this is one of those situations in which the writer, or the editor, has to be smarter than spellcheck, because spellcheck isn’t going to catch the error. epic fail, p-d.
e'rebuilding mang
He probably...
expects somebody to catch that. Not that it’s an excuse, but every writer needs proofreaders, editors etc. And technically, Reyes has withered quite a bit over the past couple years.
well, well. freud was right.
"the hardest decision to make is to do nothing; there is a terrible temptation to interfere." -gen patton
I know
I thought of that too, whether he was trying to make a clever pun. But even if you stretch it that far, it really makes no sense. Like I said, he should have said “Where is Anthony Reyes?” Isn’t that one of the first rules of journalism? Don’t make your writing more confusing or hard to read than it needs to be? Or maybe make it on a 5th-grade reading level? Something like that?

As a Reds fan
I’m kind of embarrassed to see Griffey in the top 3 All-Star slots. Yeah, it was a great moment when he hit 600, but he’s easily our worst outfielder (unless Corey Patterson is playing, and he can at least catch a ball every now and then). At times I worry that Griffey will be our only representative at the game, and then I calm down and remember that Edinson Volquez will be the NL starter.

Reyes is pitching down in Memphis tonight. I think this could be a tryout to see if he gets called back up. The problem with him is he can’t pitch more than 6 IP tops. He needs to go out and throw 2 R ball and 7 IP to get a call back up, imo.

what about Astro fans
JR Towles in 4th although he was sent to the minors. Kaz Matzui, Wigginton in top 5
Something is screwed up there.
I'm going to have to miss the end of the game
because of live music. tough choice there… seriously

No
But the Braves broadcast crew was pissed when the ump warned both the Braves and the Cubs. They felt it should have just been the Cubs who should have been warned, because the Braves haven’t even pitched yet.

ryan has proved to me that there is no need for:
Adam Kennedy. You can have Izturis at Short, Ryan at 2nd, Miles at backup, Bring up Hoff

Uh, no I was a ryan backer last year, I wasn't on the site though
I’m just making conversation about the showing that ryan continues to perform better than kennedy and so do miles, and izturis. He is a complete waste of a roster spot, and I don’t understand why this team can hardly cut ties with people if there are just complete crap, they let them sit on the roster for the year, or let them take up a space at AAA when they should not even be in a uniform for this organization.

I was just giving you shit
we are all in agreement. I would rather see Barden come up than Hoff though.

i guess they realized

everytime i hear
“lincoln” i am reminded of robin hood men in tights . . .
“did you say abe lincoln?”
“no man! i said “hey blinkin’!”
who will be the new MV3?
I just watched Ank's homer earlier
glad to see he isn’t totally in a slump. his bat speed is still really quick. and the best part is he hit that home run to a Cardinals fan in right field
