10-3, 2.88 |
8-4, 4.22 |
It only seems like yesterday when Ben Sheets was the big hero for the US Olympic team in 2000. Now he's the big stud starter looking for a big payday at the end of the season. I was hoping to see Colby get his chance to go to Beijing and make a statement. Ah well.
Much has been said about Wellemeyer's struggles as of late. But he's shown a bit of improvement in his last couple of starts (he at least went 6+ IP both times, which, as stated in the below main post, is an underappreciated factor in bullpen effectiveness), but his strikeout and walk rates still don't seem to have gotten back to what they were before his elbow went. In his win against the Padres, he had 3 BB to 2 K, while giving up five runs.
Hopefully he's relearning his control and his focus, because he's going to need everything he's got against Ben Sheets, who seems to be making a Cy bid in his walk year. No one on the Cardinals current roster has a very spectacular history against Sheets beyond Pujols (26 for 66, 4 HR 10 RBI, 1.66 OPS), and Brendan Ryan in limited at bats.
Hopefully they can stay within reach, get some chances against that somewhat weak bullpen, and avoid the sweep. I'm still mad that we didn't get a chance against Gagné last night (who was warming in the pen when the game ended).

Why not win this one boys
Might be a bad series, but would give us a winning homestand!!

Colonel
I was at the game on Saturday and he wasn’t sharp during the first two innings. The defense let him down in the first inning, too. Still, I wrote on my scorecard his ball/strike count after each inning. After the second, he had thrown 17 strikes to 19 balls (-2). He ended the game having thrown 51 strikes to 33 balls (+18). So, in innings three through seven, The Colonel threw 34 strikes to 14 balls.
Wellemeyer finding his groove was evident just in watching the pace of the game. He was challenging Padres by just pounding the zone and he was very efficient. Hopefully this was a turned corner from him and we will see more of it tonight.
exactly
I couldn’t tell you how many “why is he pulling Wellemeyer for Flores NOW” I heard in the section I was sitting in on Saturday. I think from the 3rd inning on he looked as good or better than he has at any point this season. Now if we can only get seven solid innings out of him tonight.
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
On an earlier thread, I posted this:
Wellemeyer vs. LHB:
.243 BAA/.308 OBPA/.403 SLGA/.711 OPSA
Flores vs. LHB*
.263 BAA/.388 OBPA/.447 SLGA/.835 OPSA
- Randy Flores is left-handed.
TLR’s pitching change boggled the mind. It caused the Cards to use four pitchers for the inning (counting Wellemeyer) instead of one pitcher for the inning (counting Wellemeyer). The Colonel was only at 84 pitches, to boot.
And
he was mixing in his slider effectively. I’ve got a stack of internet dollars on the line that he turned the corner, mechanically, in that game.
C’mon, Colonel. I need that imaginary money.
you sure are free with those internet dollars
you think they grow on trees or something?
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
That'll
help pay off that imaginary Russian you owe all that imaginary money to,
My fellow Americans. As a young boy, I dreamed of being a baseball, but tonight I say, we must move forward, not backward, upward not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom.
I was so discouraged last night
figuring the season is probably over now, but today is a new day, and if you’re a true fan – which people here are – there is always hope. If nothing else, we get to watch a sport most of us love. We get to watch a baseball game…...not all bad! We’ll miss it when it’s snowing and 15 degrees outside.
Here’s to the Cardinals…...our team! Go get ‘em, boys!
(three hours from now I’ll be cussing out half the team, probably!!)
I still believe in a place called "Hope"
Only 3 GB in the NL Central. With a win tonight, we will only be 1 GB in the Wild Card. And that is with Carp and Wainwright on the horizon. Perhaps, also with a reliever via trade. In Cardinal Nation, there is much to be hopeful about, even if Ben Sheets is on the hill tonight for the Brewers…
Having Ben Sheets on the mound alone gives me hope
I really shouldn’t have went there, but I think the team overcomes any possible jinx by me tonight
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
I missed the game
and played possibly the worst softball of my life. I was more pissed about my own failings than the Cards getting shut down by one of the best pitchers in the game.
Mets are red hot
right now (thanks to us for getting them fired up at Busch).
Gotta win tonight, that Mets series is going to be brutal.

Why does TLR insist on playing Grit at SS?
It’s really bordering on the absurd. They justify Izturis with his D, but then play Grit at SS? It’s nonsensical.

***Wagonmaker Update***
Adam Wainwright threw a bullpen session prior to the start of the Cardinals’ series finale against the Brewers on Thursday.It was Wainwright’s latest session as he prepares to make his way off the disabled list, and the right-hander reported no pain. Since he was placed on the DL, the Cardinals have stayed afloat, going 21-19.
Wainwright will continue to throw bullpen sessions every other day until the club decides on his rehabilitation starts. Wainwright is hoping to rejoin the club within the next two weeks, at best
Lets make it 22-19
tonight!

He’s going to outflank them the second time around, no doubt.

that was bad
pitch number 6 in the AB against Hall was a strike. Should have been strike 3. Pitch number 3 against Cameron was close enough to be a strike. And if the ump isn’t calling that outside pitch(like on number 6) he should give the pitcher that inside corner.
Grrrr.
Long half-inning by the bats, now
the Colonel needs his rest.
What do they say about coming up to bat in the half-inning after you make a great play?
A possible TP not attempted and a blown ump call
Just cost Welley big-time – to shift the blame from his implosion, which now possibly forces us to go to the you-know-what early again.
Triple play
possible, sure, but unlikely. If we’d gone for it and failed to get two, it’d be a tied ballgame.
what a bunch of bullshit
that wasn’t a strike last inning.
asshole.

I typically like seeing Greg Olsen get his ass kicked
since I laught everytime he pitches thinking about not only Joe Girardi knocking him on his ass, but Sergio Mitre doing it as well.
Scott Olsen. Classic ass hat.
Unfortunately he’s pitching against the cubs tonight.
happend all the time at gator football and basket ball games
so much fun

baseball gods on our side for once
ESPN Management (CT): Umm…...what does this have to do with the Red Sox and Yankees?
SportsNation Jerry Crasnick: Management, Let’s take a break with the sarcasm, OK?
The baseball gods will punish us
when we have to go to our bullpen.
The time has come for someone to put his foot down and that foot is me

The Thing That Cannot Be Named?

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

it was called on Glaus last inning.

Welle has absolutely nothing right now

wasn't it the Mets who lit Boggs up for like 10 runs last time?
We have a brilliant coaching staff, absolutely brilliant.
boo cubs, hooray beer
it doesn't help
that at least 2 of our starters are bullpen guys

it was a great play
if hart was a little slower and miles had a better arm that would have been a web gem.
would not have been
if iz2 was at short on braun’s ball

oh thank god welley
we still have a lead somehow

and he could had been out of this inning a lot sooner
A DP ball that Izturis or Ryan gets to made it through the infield.
he was just positioned wrong
dont think iz2 or ryan would have got it

but keep it up
cuz you can just stick overflow 2 on it later. .

great there's two overflows up
which one do we use?
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
