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!

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.

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.

Time for Looper to take a break?
After his last couple of games I am getting really concerned about Looper. I think he may be in line for one of those phantom DL stints so he can rest up (much like last season when he hit the wall) and bring Boggs back up to take his place for a couple of turns in the rotation. This way we might get the “good Looper” for the stretch drive in mid August & September when we will really need him to be his best.
