Missed a big opportunity there but we'll get a couple more chances to win this one.  It'd be a shame to blow it.  Let's go boys!

gotta win the last 3 innings now

If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you haven't grasped the situation!

yeah

by 2 at least

Russ Springer

Here’s hoping he can keep this up the rest of the season. Guy’s pitching great.

last night (i was at the game) when i was sure franklin was going to blow i was thinking why the cardinals don’t give russ a chance to close games.

by stlcardinalsfang on Jul 18, 2008 10:35 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

he isn't going to be able to go

Every day. As it is he doesn’t pitch back-to-back games are even back-to-back innings.

by Evilfrog on Jul 18, 2008 10:37 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

yeah

but how often to closer pitch on back to back days anymore?

by stlcardinalsfang on Jul 18, 2008 10:38 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Russ is great

But he can’t pitch every day

Springer and Lohse and after that only a forlorn hope of late. Nice inning, Russ

trades?

I don’t get where people are making an argument that we need a pitcher before a bat. A bat can help catch up with the cubs everyday compared to a pitcher who throws every five days. We have match up pitchers, especially when Wainwright gets back. Lohse, Wain, and Looper ( proved he can pitch against most number 2s last year.) and MAYBEE HOPEFULLY Carp

Answered you in the last thread

Name a big bat who can play the middle infield with good defense and who won’t cost Razzle Dazzle and we’ll talk. (I like Khalil Greene)

We’re set very well in the outfield. We could use a better backup 3B/Spiezio-type. But we could use more pitching and pitching is a little easier to come by.

Set in the OF

When we talk about Bay or Nady or anyone of that ilk I get sick

Those guys are great but we can replicate that. If we could (not saying we would) get Roberts (BAL) or Kinsler (TEX) for a mixture of spare parts I’d do it. I just know that’s not gonna happen. I guess we gotta deal with Kennedy, BR, and Miles for a little while. I’d love to get back Ronnie Belliard, but I doubt that’s what Mo’s going after.

Catcher had the plate blocked well

he would’ve slowed down on a swooping slide too much to make it close.

HE WAS SAFE

holy crap another blown call

Ankiel was between

The catcher and the Ump. All he could see was that the ball beat him. And the swipe was in time. He was blocked and couldn’t see that the swipe actually missed. If Ankiel would have went down he would have been safe easily.

Technically,

there is no “perfect” position to be in. You put yourself in the best position and make the call the way you see it. If he’s up the 1st base line, there’s a very good chance the catcher blocks his view. Can’t position himself in front of the plate, so that’s the best position. If Ankiel slides (and I’m not saying he should have with the catcher blocking the plate like that) the ump has no problem seeing the play.

Let's go redbirds!

Izzy needs to get it done after we score three more here. (someone earlier predicted the 6 run lead for Kelvin Jimenez)
