What the hell is up with Duncan?

It’s starting to make me mad. That stuff shouldn’t be acceptable.

go cards.

Yeah

he was way out of the basepath

Wrong!

You are too used to guys not playing hard anymore

by ICbirdfan on Jul 10, 2008 3:05 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

you even see the play?

even the announcers think that could end up getting one of the Cardinals hurt. There is hard playing baseball and stupid , that was the latter.

that looked dirty

he went out of his way to break that up, looked like he was trying to roll him. luckily rollins didnt get hurt

nothing wrong with going out of your way to break up a dp

as long as you’re within reach of the bag, then you’re fine.

In this case, it’s boarderline whether or not he could have gotten the bag and he went in late. The Philly announcers said he went in high, but I don’t really think that was the case. He went in late.

And Duncan’s always been one to break up a double play. That’s the way he plays the game, and when you do, sometimes you’re a little more out of position than other times. This time it was boarderline, but I wouldn’t call it dirty.

Well of course you'd say that

go cards.

Nice

and I’m a dirty, crusty baseball guy who is more from the mold of the Duncans and LaRussa than the guys who peel off and like to have conversations on the diamond.

oh, well…

by Tackle Box on Jul 10, 2008 5:51 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

i was just making a little joke

and I respect that mold.

go cards.

by thecoolalonzo on Jul 10, 2008 5:53 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

oh i know

good catch too.

And you better respect that mold or someone might put a spike in your ass!!!!!

by Tackle Box on Jul 10, 2008 6:00 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I like good hard baseball

I thought that was more than that. I still think it was. I think it was evident he was nowhere near the bag.

lol.

I agree with you. I thought it was a bit more than just hard baseball. And, yes, apparently you like this topic a bit more than you would hope.

go cards.

why we are still on a thread when the game ended 5+ hours ago

is unbeknownst to me.
I’m gonna chalk it up to be the best fans in baseball.

go cards.

eh. just thinking too much about the cards.

after missing them for 7 weeks due to a stint out of the country, i am happy to be back. Checking the standings everyday just wasn’t enough to give a fix to my obsession.

go cards.

I've noticed that a few of the other blogs

have a ‘Postgame Wrap-up’ thread. VEB does not, mostly because our writer’s put a TON of work into insightful writing for the daily posts where other sites don’t have that luxury.

You can easily end a catcher's career

the way he slid into home (the catcher) on tuesday.

go cards.

that was a weird situation though

the catcher was laying in front of home plate

soft tossing lefties

Another pathetic inning for the Cardinals. They cannot get anything done against soft tossing lefties….

Blow it up!

Trade Anderson, etc for Brian Roberts, sign Barry Bonds, win World Series!

Roberts 2B
Ankiel CF
Pujols 1B
Bonds LF
Glaus 3B
Molina C
Izturis SS
Pitcher
Skippy RF

With Ludwick sprinkled in there.

Ok, venting over…back to reality.

Got to do something soon

only scoring 2 runs or less every game will take us out of the Wild Card hunt real quick.

Orioles have the best Catching prospect in baseball

they don’t want anderson

You know if I were a team going to face the Cards

I would never pitch a righty against them….teams could bring up a AA lefty and they would shut us down.

by KYCards on Jul 10, 2008 3:08 PM EDT   0 recs

Actually, you might just want to sign a kid off a high school team for a day

Guys in the minors might throw too hard to get the Cardinals out.

by mojowo11 on Jul 10, 2008 3:09 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I was thinking that too.

It seems that other teams are catching on to that as well.

go cards.

by thecoolalonzo on Jul 10, 2008 3:10 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

We actually have a winning record against lefty starters this year (17-16).

That’ll be .500 after tonight, but still. We’ve faced the second most lefty starters in the NL.

by notmorganfreeman on Jul 10, 2008 3:12 PM EDT   0 recs

that might have something more to do with the pitching

in those games than the hitting. I don’t know, but it sure does seem this team hasn’t hit a lefty worth a crap in weekks.
