Chris Lambert watch:

Former Cardinals 1st round pick, making his Major League debut for the Detroit Tigers…

1IP, 1K, 0R, 0H, 9 pitches. Fastball is topping out at 90, so far.

The Tigers have already won that trade.

LOL

I have a picture I took of Friday nights lineup, after all the changes once we were up big. At the time, our lineup was this:

Skip CF
Miles SS
Mather RF
LaRue C
Barton LF
Lopez 3B
Molina 1B
Pineiro P
Izturis SS

How scary would THAT be if it were our starting lineup?

I was using the Z

and when your comment popped up I didn’t know where in the thread it went. For a second I thought you were talking about Zambrano and I got REAL excited.

Jimmy steps in to lead off the bottom half of the inning... with nobody on base... It could happen... just not tonight.

Must gain ground these 2 games

If we don’t get close I’m not sure we can catch them.

A) Cards don’t go on extened winning streaks
B) Brew Crew won’t collapse

No

Not even a remote question. His mediocre season has been built on a cloud of smoke xFIP of 5.06, his velocity took a huge hit this year, he isn’t good.

Why can't we...

Take a look at the brew and cubbies schedule and find some common teams they’re going to play against.

Then get aligned with that team (or teams) and send them guys like Phelps, Marti and a few others to help them win over waivers. Or even a pitcher or two. it can be worked out as a gentlemans agreement and a rest of the year “hands on showcase/rental”, we’ll get them back at the end of the year, but maybe they’ll actually field a team that could possibly give those two some hell.

Of course someone else could get in the way on the waiver line, but it could be pulled back anyhow. It’ll get some Memphis guys some ML experience as well, even if it wasn’t with us.

In all seriousness

why not Glaus at 2b. He can’t be any worse than some of the options used there, can he?

Wellemeyer pitching for his contract?

With Wellemeyer due to be a free agent after this season, do you think his last few starts will decide whether or not we re-sign him? He had a good start to the season, so-so middle, and now he’s straightened himself out lately.

Wellemeyer is not a free agent

and will be in the rotation next year. He will be an excellent number 4 pitcher in this league if he can pitch deeper into games

Anyone but Albert

The game just started, but it already seems like the Brewers will be content to pitch around Albert, no matter the circumstances (except for bases loaded). Someone is going to have to step up and drive in some runs. I don’t think the Brewers are going to let El Hombre beat them this series. We need huge contributions from Luddy, Troy, and Ank.

Defensive alignment

I don’t agree with the defensive alignment there. Normally the right side plays back, but with a runner at 3rd wouldn’t you come in and accept the result if Fielder rips it past Kennedy?

I love the Pirates

runner at first, no outs. Dougie Menk hits a single, Moss gets thrown out a third. Cardinal sin.

Freddy Sanchez then walks in a 9 pitch at-bat. So, instead of loaded with no outs, it’s 1st and 2nd with 1 out.
