PrintSt. Louis Cardinals at Atlanta Braves, Jul 28, 2008 7:10 PM EDT
 |
 |
| Looper | Morton |
| 9-8, 4.49 | 2-3, 6.00 |
the cards catch a break tonight, missing a left-hander (jo-jo reyes) who has pitched well against them in the past. he was supposed to go tonight, but the braves had to use reyes in relief over the weekend; in his stead they'll start charlie morton, a young right-hander with so-so control . . . good opportunity for the cardinals to score some runs if they can exhibit some patience.
derrick goold reports that mozeliak and luhnow are both with the team down in atlanta as the trade deadline approaches. the season is 2/3 over with after tonight.

Closer?
Leach is reporting that Duncan renamed Izzy the closer. I thought LaRussa made a statement about Franklin being the guy yesterday?
What’s going on?
by greenwichvillagecard on Jul 28, 2008 6:32 PM EDT reply actions
How many failed attempts at closing
by Isringhausen does it take? I hope that report is wrong. Of course, one could say something similar regarding Franklin.

Is it a sign that I need to lay off baseball for awhile
when I think of Izzy replacing Franklin as the closer and I go “aaahhhh” ?
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
Me, I'm rooting for Izzy...
IF he can close out the 9th (which I think will be easier for him to do on the road), the entire bullpen should be better!

8 saves to 300
is messing with Izzy’s head. Last chance to get the job back. Their doing it on the road as well in case the move implodes.
Does that mean Franklin goes back to the 8th inning?

Yes per M Leach - here is the link
Cardinals pitching coach Dave Duncan acknowledged Monday that Jason Isringhausen will resume closing duties for St. Louis, with interim closer Ryan Franklin moving back into a setup role.However, Duncan believes that Isringhausen’s recent outings have shown that he’s at least close to regaining his old form. That, combined with a recent slide by Franklin, prompted the Cards to make the change. Both pitchers were notified prior to Monday night’s game against Atlanta.
“I personally see improvement in the way Izzy’s throwing the ball,” Duncan said. “If I didn’t think he could go out there and get the save, I certainly wouldn’t agree—not that it would make any difference, but my opinion wouldn’t be what it is.”
Duncan seems to have said Izzy closes, Franklin the 8th, Springer back to the 7th
at least that is how I heard it

I am not even sure if the Spinger part is true
The only place I have heard about it is FSN (it isn’t in that article that is linked), but it makes sense. Might as well give all the crucial innings to the vets, and that isn’t a knock on Springer

I was checking the batting average on gameday.We have 6 guys with 300 plus AVG on the lineup today including Looper. The other two are Glaus and Joey, they both can hit for power. The ninth player can at least play good defense at SS.

Crazy Play!
Interesting thing about that play was that right after the ball hit the backstop and started careening parellel to the first base line, Pujols, who had just scored, immeditealy started waving him home. Yadi’s eyes were actually on Pujols as he was approaching 3rd, and as he got closer he looked at Oquendo, who put up a late, half-hearted ‘hold’ sign. Yadi plowed right through it. I love Pujols aggressiveness on the basebaths, even for our designated tortoise!
and another base hit!

i remember the day
Yadi stole third… I was in awe…
Yadi swings and hits a high fly ball... Endy Chavez goes back, to the track, to the wall... ITS A GUNNER!! Yadi gives St. Louis the lead in the top of the ninth!
braves should have gone for reyes

that chop was bad enough already....
they didn’t have to add a giant cow to encourage to fans in such matters…geez
Actually
The chop is kinda cool when the stadium is packed and everyone is doing it. However, that’s hardly ever the case anymore.
Here’s the cow though:

iz2 is a major league ss
unfortunately, not a major league hitter
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you haven't grasped the situation!
overall probably not
if not by thursday, then ss should be the number one priority

Morton appears to be the total package. How did the Cards miss him for the pen?

walking iz2
a cardinal sin
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you haven't grasped the situation!
Tonight, my observation works
He’s perfect for the #9 slot because he’s like the #9 hole hitter in Little League, where everyone on the team is praying for a walk.
Morton going to get the Jason Marquis/Mitchell Boggs special?
Take a beating kid, our bullpen needs a rest.
boo cubs, hooray beer
so the cardinals are actually trying to score runs past the third inning??!?
apparently someone missed the memo on that one
Just read through Goold's excellent game preview
The homer that Joey Bombs hit was the first that Morton had allowed this season.
Nah, Goold's right
I was wrong. He said that he hadn’t given any up with AAA-Richmond. I didn’t realize he’d already made a few starts.
home plate ump
Is the strike call of the home plate getting on anyone else’s nerves?
i think having dealt with it all year
i am starting to get used to bad calls

the yell
I didn’t mean his ball vs strike call, I meant the way he yells “Strike” is annoying.

About the "not selling out Atlanta playoff games" thing...
is it because going to the playoffs stops being so interesting if you do it a zillion years in a row?
For Atlanta fans, probably
I’d like to think that if the Cards won the division for fifteen years in a row they’d still sell out all their games.

i think he was down for only 1-2 ganes
less than a week for sure

A week or two ago
He was pretty peeved about getting sent down, but he sucks since the league figured him out
