Phillies/Cardinals Game Thread Game 70

PrintThere wasn't one up so I thought I'd take some of the bandwidth pressure off the main thread for today.
PHI Pitcher: Adam Eaton (2-3, 4.62)
STL Pitcher: Kyle Lohse (7-2, 3.92)
Let's go Cardinals!! Beat those Phillies!!
Um, trying to get to 75 words...let's not give up 20 runs tonight, I hope Lohse has a revenge game today, and let's have multiple HRs from Ankiel, Ludwick, Glaus, Molina, hell even Kennedy!

The last time Lohse pitched in a game
that involved the Phillies, didn’t he give up a GS to Kaz Matsui?

I'm not a Howard fan...
sure he’s from StL. Sure, he can hit the ball a country mile.
I think he’ll end up in the AL, as a DH for the Yankees and be next Giambi.

I don't care for him either...
Power and nothing else. Strikes out a ton, doesn’t hit for average, and a horrible defender. Gotta be the most egregious MVP winner in recent memory, considering Albert’s monster year statistically and everything else he brought (brings) to the table.
Rollins last year was even worse
He wasn’t even the best player on his own team (Utley). Having a big mouth on a good team gains votes.

The thing I like about that AB.
He swung that slider inside. So the pitcher came back with another slider in the same spot. And he laid off of it.

Combination of high OBP, so you want him up early and often, and power, to get the rabbits home. Probably reasonable, although of course there’s only one AP.

it's actually very tough on home runs

Why Mather down for Reyes??
Seems with the DH coming it would be more useful for Duncan and have Mather in the field. The article says withthe DH coming then we can handle an extra pitcher. I understand thatwe wont have to change pitchers as much for pinch hitters, but that means the DH is gonna be Miles or some shit.
I’d have stuck with Mather for awhile longer and seen if he was going to get more comfortable and heat up.

Wonder if something is up with AK? Granted he's having a good game, but
the radio guys are GUSHING. .. .Hope they know something like a possible trade, and they hope the other guys are listening. ..

yeah
at least I’ve kept this one on. Last night didn’t last too long especially once i realized Hoosiers was on Vs.
Loshe
Got through 7. I think he is done being over 100 pitches and his spot due up second.
GJ Kyle. That’s what we needed.
You gotta think that's it for K-Lo
Other than one pitch to Burrell, a fantastic outing. Just what we needed after last night’s shitfest. 7 IP 2 ER.

as it stands
i’d definately pitch Perez in the 8th. Stifle their asses before they get too excited to see Lohse outta the game. Then, Franklin. It is sorta his job.
I now know
that the Cardinals have a preferred hand sanitizer.
I have a love/hate relationship with the Cardinals' middle relief corps.
If Yadi gets on
Let Lohse bunt him over

isn't yadi too slow to bunt over

You have to PH here, don’t you? Bunting him to third is not that useful since yadi doesn’t score on a ground ball.

Puts into play the sacfly
plus he scores for sure on a single and possibly on a wild pitch.
But, when Loshe bunts one shittily….what in the hell is going on?
Molina has turned himself into a pretty good hitter this year
Of course his straight numbers are probably overrating him due to his awful speed on the bases, but a 93% contact rate is stellar.

Molina a better hitter, still a lousy baserunner

Not sure if they saw it coming
I mean if you see it coming with a pitcher on 1st and Cesar Izturis coming, then more power to yo. I think it was just an outside pitch, and it worked out perfectly for them.

Good thing we have an airtight bullpen to rely on.
Why would we nee any additional runs?

/votes against small ball.
"the hardest decision to make is to do nothing; there is a terrible temptation to interfere." -gen patton
I can't exactly fault Tony on the bunt
but the hit and run with Lohse was a poor idea of an attempt. I know he’s low on the bench and needs to keep Lohse on the basepaths, but he should just sit back and not overmanage in that situation.
Well, everyone on here bitches about this team
only being able to hit singles. So, he tries to compensate for that and people still complain. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
he gave up an out
one of 6 we had left, for a marginal benefit. It was a stupid move. We could easily have scored 3 runs or more that inning.
"the hardest decision to make is to do nothing; there is a terrible temptation to interfere." -gen patton
normally I wouldn't either
but Lohse isn’t exactly known for being able to handle a bat, and Yadi is slow as hell. There is a time and a place for bunting someone over, that was not one in my opinion
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
a man on second, no outs
takes one base hit to score a run. not a long ball.
That wasn’t very clutch, skip…

WTF with GD? Showing Lohse and Molina on base. audio on stutter. . .

ok...
Double by Molina, Lohse tries to bunt him over. Yadi’s too slow, out at Third
Next batter is Izturis, on the first pitch TLR tries the hit and run. Lohse is thrown out at second, then Iz2 triples.
Schu strikes out to end the inning. It was horrible.
"Give a man a fire, and he’ll be warm for a night. Set him on fire and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life."
he is a terrible bunter
and Yadi was so far out a great bunt might have not done any good
