Um...I'd rather not say.
But there is talk about Flores being activated. Last up first down and all. (being that Garica is starting.
I dont know but feel free to try
18 games in a row with no off day. Might go with the extra bullpen guy considering our starters are only going 5.2 Innings a game. Though with Lohse going 7 today and Mather getting the HR. He might have bought himself a day.
it's less about the decision for an arm
and the decision of which arm. Randy Flores just isn’t good. I don’t understand why management can’t grasp that.
Worse yet
You know that Tony won’t be able to help himself from using him. It’s like giving a loaded gun to somebody on suicide watch.

I didn't follow the previous game thread so forgive me if someone else has mentioned this
Chris Duncan has not looked good tonight.
In the 4th, Peavy tries to go inside on him but couldn’t catch the plate. He busts Chris low and away and gets him out. Notice pitch 3 looks like a strike but Peavy doesn’t get the call. Chris has to learn to protect the low part of the plate better.
In the 7th, we see what my book on Chris Duncan would be—low and inside. Chris can’t lay off these pitches (often) and usually swings right over the top of them. I don’t think that he’s ever going to correct this hole given the length of his swing but at the least he needs to foul those off on occasion. He has been hitting better as of late but he’s got some significant holes in his game yet.
That's throwing me off
When I use gameday I slide the screen around to get kind of a “catcher’s eye” view, better for telling outside/inside
Good analysis though

it was a valid observation
if I’m going to say they’re inside, I might as well give the best view to prove that.
actually
on an 0-2 I’d rather him lay off that 3rd pitch in the 4th. Maybe he just isn’t closing his eyes hard enough.
that 3rd pitch was a damn good one
and I can’t blame him much for that. It’s the perfection of exploiting his weakness.
3 times this game Pujols will be leading off an inning
Not a great game for Grit

Now that Leitch is no longer is EIC at Deadspin
Bissinger probably agreed to stop the feud.
boo cubs, hooray beer
That last pitch Franklin threw to end the game was terrible
Fastball over the heart

i feel bad for fans that have to turn to the WWL for their baseball coveage
the spot they did on the Cardinals just now on baseball tonight was brutal.
absolutely 100% brutal
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
Well since we were a part of one of four total games on the night
We got a whole lot more highlights than usual

I didn't watch
but I can imagine Steve Phillips and the rest of the clowns on Baseball Tonight are going nuts because of the way the Mets are playing. Was half of the show about the Mets??
Yeah, they led with the Mets and talked for quite awhile
Steve Phillips wasn’t on the show, thankfully, although it’s funny because he’s become a sort of punching bag for everyone

when they stepped out of the dugout.

For the pen?
Does anyone think Balti would possibly give up Sherrill?
this may seem simple and dumb...
but why cant Springer close? seriously, he’s about as shut-down as they come…

i definitely see where you're coming from
but i really like the way he comes in and shuts the opposition down in high levarage situations

I was thinking the same thing tonight
Franklin & Izzy are just not lights out closers and are a pitch away from blowing a close game badly. Springer isn’t really a lights out guy either…but he has been more so than the cardiac twins. I see where they sent Perez down…..I hate to say it..but he is still a year away or more from being a reliable closer. He shined in a few games…but I wasn’t real impressed with his showing thus far….don’t want to give up on him though.
Love Springer
Don’t think he should close. He’s closing in on 40 years old, and was injured earlier this season due to a tired arm (IIRC). I don’t think he could be out there night after night and be as effective as he’s been since coming off the DL.

Jimenez again?????
From Derek Goold : “The Cardinals are expected to make an additional move to protect their pitching for 18 games in 18 days, probably promoting righthander Kelvin Jimenez and optioning outfielder Joe Mather today.”
How many more times does this guy have to suck that we don’t have to see him again?
Congratulations!! You hit the HR that ultimately scored the game-winning run
Now get your ass back to Memphis

Roster choice, Mo, To
Going down:
Player A – hit winning HR today, plays several different positions adequately, Bats R in the face of sure-to-come lefty pitchers
Player B – plays one position barely adequately, but that position is blocked. Defensive liability anywhere else, bat L and strikes out often.
Your call, Mo, To.
Coming up
Player A – Sometimes dominat pitcher, can start, middle inning relief or short relief, WS success, once 1-hit White Sox
Player B – frequent cameos in the majors – eac a disaster followed by well-deserved demotion.
Your call, Mo, To
An optimist is a man who upon discovering that a rose smells better than a cabbage concludes it will make better soup.
HL Mencken
Oh, yeah - forgot
On coming up, player B can only be counted on for a single out – though it often takes about six hitters before that goal is achieved. . ..
