I'm in Boston for a reunion
And can’t get the game, so I’m relying on gamecast and u folks. Is this looking like a delay, or a rain out?
go cards.
There's some gnarly weather hanging out all over Northern and Western Missouri
so if they do get it in, they’re going to have to play like the wind!
Patiently awaiting Mulder's return, circa 2012
nice
If that pun was indeed intended. Thanks.
go cards.

I feel bad for my mom.
She’s at the game tonight on a “first date” kinda thing with a Met’s fan. I know when I’m at a game, even though they still sell beer, I hate rain delays.
how dare you let your mother go on a date with a Mets fan!
I suppose it’s better than a Cubs fan though :P
boo cubs, hooray beer
I hear ya there.
I’m flying in to St. Louis on Friday for the Cubs series. Can’t wait!

Like my living room
the living room is located in the basement, as there are 4 levels to the house. They are all split by small sets of stairs. We have two lamps and an overhead ceiling fan. The dog is asleep and I’m flipping between the various other ball games. There is an assortment of magazines on the coffee table and shelf with various little trinkets hanging on the wall. The missus lit a scented candle on the end table and you can see the flicker of the tiny flame on the wall, in an area the lamp light just doesn’t cover.
Why, what’s it look like there?

Usually I like your posts... Usually
But since you asked, my living room is dirty as hell, because my roommates refuse to clean anything. But the 63 inch HD draws enough attention that I don’t notice it while the Cards are playing, except when the MLB.TV rain delay graphic is on.

sitting on the end of the large L-shaped couch
I glance about the room seeing lots of cds, books, and dvds stored about the room. my hard drive recorder/mixer lies on the floor amongst multiple 1/4” audio cables as I turn on my practice amp and play the game through it. why I have been listening to the games lately through my guitar amp is anyone’s guess.

I also wouldn't mind him pitching multiple innings,

the delay sent me over to the rays game and
watching them try to come back against the sox and one of the sparks has been bartlett, their ss. reminded of the zobrist talk. any word on zobrist and how close he may be to bartlett, who is playing very well this year.
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you haven't grasped the situation!
Zobrist is a man without a job over there
Reid Brignac is in AAA, knocking on the door to the majors and Tim Beckham they just drafted 1st overall, is a 5 tool shortstop

Strauss Comments
Joe Strauss: Clement will likely be designated when his rehab assignment ends this week, leaving him the choice of accepting a minor-league assignment while still receiving major-league salary. Joel Pineiro accepted an assignment last summer before the Cardinals acquired him out of the Pawtucket rotation.
better bet would have been Ludwick
it’s generally thought you give your catcher a full game off on his day off.
I think he was obviously
afraid to take out any of the outfielders yet. Could be a long game.

Since these things arent so clear if you can't watch the game

Thats just it
Its bleeding eye grounder after bloop single after broken bat single all night long. Hit’s that look like line drives in the box score tomorrow, but are ground outs and pop outs any other night.
Mentioned this above, think it's relevant...
the ball hit up the middle was hit much harder than a “bleeder”.
So you basically pick 1 hit out of 14.
that wouldn’t have scored a run had the runner not been given 3rd base.
Only mentioned it b/c you did...
Guy asked about luck…nothing unlucky about a hard hit ball up the middle. Not trying to nit-pick…but I don’t think you could classify all those as bloops.
thanks, guys.

by MichiganBird on Jul 2, 2008 11:35 PM EDT up reply actions
I'd prefer to actually see him not have any control
or possibly be hit somewhat hard before I gave up on him. But I guess it’s cooler to over-react and try to be creative.
I don't get the harsh response?
Everyone here is entitled to an opinion, even if it differs from yours.
Look, if this was an ordinary pitcher coming off a 3 week stint on the DL to rest his elbow,
I’d be patient. This is not “just one outing”. This is two years of being just around the corner. This is months of not being able to pitch effectively in the minors. And he comes back and pitches a third of an inning and gives up a chunk of hits and a hit batter. When was the last time he was effective above A ball?
Don't forget the wild pitch
Or passed ball, whatevs
by Andyfantastic on Jul 2, 2008 11:43 PM EDT up reply actions
He's also throwing 91
consistently with good movement on his fastball and a nice bit on the curve. Time will average out the bloop hits. That’s a function of BABIP, and it’ll take time to even out. Just a little bad luck so far, imo
by MichiganBird on Jul 2, 2008 11:43 PM EDT up reply actions
so, if I think the outing is a sign of ineffectiveness, I'm making a hasty decision.
If you decide that this is going to even out, based on one performance, that’s a measured and thoughtful opinion.
I would have respected your objection more if you’d just said “wait and see.”
That's exactly what me response says
“wait and see”. Just not in those words. The concepts of averages and BABIP are not unique to Mulder. If you judge any rehabbing or new pitcher based off one outing, that’s silly. Especially since it wasn’t that bad of an outing and you’ve decided not to consider his Monday results in your conclusion.
by MichiganBird on Jul 2, 2008 11:52 PM EDT up reply actions
no, your response said "just a little bad luck"
that means you think that mulder will do better and in fact is pitching well.
A wait and see answer would consider both possibilities: that Mulder may not be pitching well and that he may be just unlucky.
ok
feel free to continue considering only one possibility yourself. I’ll choose to take the pitch into account when I evaluate the outcome.
by MichiganBird on Jul 3, 2008 12:10 AM EDT up reply actions
I agree with you
look at his recent body of work. There is nothing there to support additional chances. I think it makes more sense to look at his rehab work and his inability to start ball games and NOT at this one “unlucky” outing.
correct
Mulder has to prove he can do it, not the other way around. he was good at springfield this rehab tour, but VS AAA and above competition, he’s now had 5 outings, and he’s averaging just under 3 hits an inning.
It may be “luck”, but it sure looks like more than that to me.

Man, this place went negative in a hurry
some how it is TLR/Mulder/Springer’s fault that Pineiro was completely inept tonight. Well, maybe that was on Tony leaving him in there forever but still.
by Hardcore Legend on Jul 2, 2008 11:45 PM EDT reply actions
Why not?
Who would you have preferred? Izzy on one leg? Perez who just gave up a top of the wall triple? Springer who coughed up another run? Captain Ron, who can’t get RHB out? Maybe Franklin could get the 3 inning save?
We had a 4 – nil lead on a pitcher who couldn’t get anyone out and we’ve scored 1 run since. Pineiro was given that cushion and he couldn’t get anyone out.
It was the 7th inning and we’re only down 2 runs. It’s not the end of the world.

i wasn't paying enough attention to even pick that up
but in all honesty he should’ve taken a pitch cuz 9 times out of 10 that’s a weak grounder to short.

"The Cardinals will bunt to get Molina into scoring position"
Does that mean they are bunting twice?

a couple more of those and I’ll feel vindicated.
BTW, first pitch fastball hits luddy, right after Mulder hits a Met. Then Heilman is pulled. Message pitch?

It’s the 8th inning Dan, he can bat next inning and still win it.

if Pujols gets up this inning, they’ll probably intentionally walk him

No, it was
I just was making sure you weren’t mocking my Skippy comment or if you were just making a general statement.
It was funny. I was like “Hahahaha….hey, wait a minute…..”

man. Lost tv again.
I took a shower when mulder took the mound. TV came back to see duncan rounding the bases. And it went out when Miles came up to the plate.
he went out too

just went back and watched duncan's HR
he got nice extension on it and all but that’s a pitch i would someday like him to take the other way.
by stlcardinalsfang on Jul 3, 2008 12:09 AM EDT reply actions
that was the goofy old school
“swing from my heels and hope i hit it” Chris Duncan swing, though. Been a long, long time since we’ve seen it.

Most would think that Miles dove for that ball
but truthfully, it landed in his glove and then knocked him down.
