3-9, 5.18 |
11-10, 3.94 |
I have to say that I'm very impressed w/ Looper's season so far this year. LB did a superb job the other day detailing his improvement and there's not much really that I can add. Sure, there might be a little luck involved w/ his high strand rate but I think it's fair to say that, at worst, Looper has become an average major league pitcher or so. Seems to me to be a good candidate for an arbitration offer and a bad candidate (at age 34 in October) for a long-term contract offer.
Jo Jo Reyes just isn't good...period. He walks nearly 4.5 per 9 innings, gives up too many homers and doesn't strike enough batters out. A lefty, he has been pretty tough on lefties in his brief career so I'd expect to see Skip on the pine today. He's been bad on the road and worse at home over parts of 2 seasons. He has started twice against the Cards in his career and given up just 3 ER in 11.1 IP. We're due. It's time for some "regression to the mean."
This, simply, is a game the Cards have to win. The Brewers lead us by 3.5 games -- 4 in the loss column -- and are trying to finish off their sweep of the Pirates today. They've got that Sabathia guy pitching today also. We need this one before we have our 3rd off day in 8 days tomorrow. Brilliant scheduling, Bud.
Overflow to go up around 2:45.

Ok guys today is the best time to start
our 9 game winning streak…right!!
by KYCards on Aug 24, 2008 1:51 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Today's lineup
Izturis 6
Mather 8
Pujols 3
Ludwick 9
Glaus 5
Molina 2
Miles 4
Looper 1
Barton 7
Let’s see a double steal when Barton and Iz2 are on in the third inning.

don't you mean 2nd inning
Is the bullpen the reason TLR drives drunk?
by BEANZ07 on Aug 24, 2008 1:53 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
We don't steal
Mather will have to hit-and-run in that situation.
by Hardcore Legend on Aug 24, 2008 1:56 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
i like this line-up...
… but it’s a mystery why Iz2 and Barton aren’t flopped. not like it really matters that much probably, but Barton’s OBP is 30 points higher than Iz2’s.

OT: Not sure where to post this.
My mom has six tickets for next Wednesday’s game that she can’t use. It’s against the Brewers, and Wainwright is supposed to start. The tix are in section 359, row 10. I think she’d take less than face value. If anyone is interested, let me know.

If Jones goes 0-2 and Albert goes 2-2, then he takes the lead. Anything else, and Albert’s off by a fraction.

Why does it have to be a lefty?
I keep hearing this…a lefty needs to be trade. (OK, I paraphrase into one comprehensible statement…it’s said many different ways). Anyway, with the way the lineup is shaping up for next year, I believe
C – Molina/backup 2 RHB (probably…I don’t see Anderson breaking with the big boys)
1B – Pujols RHB
2B – Miles? Switcheroo
SS – Lopez? Switcheroo
3B – Glaus RHB
MI – Kennedy LHB
CI/MI? – Stavinoha RHB or Duncan LHB or Phelps RHB or Ryan RHB or Rico Washington LHB (uhh…probably not.) or David Freese RHB or Allen Craig RHB or Brian Barden RHB or Jarrett Hoffpauir RHB (LOTS OF RHB)
OF – Ludwick RHB
OF – Ankiel LHB
OF – Rasmus LHB
OF – Mather RHB
OF – Skip LHB or John Jay LHB or Shane Robinson RHB
I see a ton of RHB on that team already.

barring a trade and assuming rasmus makes the team...
skip is definitely your 4th outfielder, right? i’d lean towards mather making the team over barton because of his pop…

Barton's got speed though
we could use him as a pinch runner, and he doesn’t have that much less pop either

yeah, luddy does not hit lefties very well
which is funny, because for a while this year Tony was only starting him against lefties. He started Ankiel and Duncan against the righties

I think next year you go with an outfield of
Ankiel, Ludwick, and Rasmus. Have Skip and Mather on the bench. Trade skip or Mather

how do you have skip and mather on the bench
and trade one of them? I say trade one of them two and have the other bench guy be Aerospace Engineer
it's time to bring the rock!!!!!!!

It is a good problem to have regardless
I will be sad to see any of those guys go though, Too bad you cannot turn Skip into a shortstop

I think Mather will continue
to improve with time, and wouldn’t mind seeing him in a platoon role next year.

on the block…
