Game 121 overflow
should be interesting to see who pitches the bottom of the 9th inning . . . . . assuming there is a bottom of the 9th. if there is, i vote for the old miami hurricane, chris perez.
cards lead it 3-2 at the stretch.

"Just because nobody understands you doesn't make you an artist."
He's not pitching any better than usual
4K, 2BB, 1HR is pretty typical. The defense has been spectacular behind him, and the outfield wall is a long ways behind him.
And Pujols struck out for the third time in a game, tying a personal record (I think.)
well the stats ruin my illusion

is it just me
or has albert chased more pitches this year than most
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you haven't grasped the situation!
haven't we talked about this all year
he has been expanding his zone, yes.

yet still ks at a very very low rate
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
i wonder if expanding the zoned is the right term
seems to me he is just fooled, ie, doesn’t see the pitch as well. makes me wonder if he needs some specs
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you haven't grasped the situation!
i ahve wondered this at times this year
it seems he squints at times
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
his contact percentage
is the highest of his career—89.86%. He only swings and misses about 10% of the time. That is the lowest of his career. If he’s fooled more often, he’s still putting his bat on the ball more often as well.
holy crap
did i read that right? only 10% of the time when Albert takes a swing he misses the ball? that’s incredible.
i assume that counts foul balls & outs right?
I'm going to go try to find a puppy and kick it. - Brad Thompson AND THAT'S A WINNER!
his plate discipline numbers are still incredible, though
it’s surprising because it seems anecdotally like he’s really expanding his zone, but he’s only slightly worse than he has been in the past, on the order of 1-2 balls per 100 pitches out of the zone. And he makes contact with over 95% of the ball in the strike zone- and 73% of the balls he swings at out of the zone- that’s just incredible.

They're saying on the official 'site

With the setback, Carpenter is no longer expected to make his next scheduled start on Friday. As a potential replacement, the Cardinals have two pitchers in their bullpen - Brad Thompson and Jaime Garcia - with starting experience.That’s not Leach reporting, though.

yup
and the men’s gymnastic’s team is putting on a show.
In the world I see--you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty carpool lane of some abandoned superhighway.
men? psh, they're only competing for bronze
i’m waiting for the women’s girl’s finals tommorrow night.
