4-9, 5.46 |
8-4, 4.13 |
The travails of Wellemeyer were chronicled quite well by LB Monday. As I’ve discovered, his strike rate is unchanged from the beginning of the season. However, LB found that Wellemeyer’s slider has been particularly shaky of late. Recently, sometimes his slider has had a lot of horizontal movement and at other times it’s had very little horizontal movement. Consequently, though he’s throwing strikes at the same rate as when he was the NL’s pitcher of the month, he’s become much more hittable. In the month of July, Wellemeyer gave up 43 hits in 33.2 IP – a far cry from May when he gave up just 28 hits in 37 IP. He walked 12 batters each month.
So what to watch for tonight? It’s gotta be his slider. Is his velocity consistent? Is he able to throw it for strikes w/o leaving it over the middle of the plate? Is he able to get swing-and-misses by throwing it just off the outside corner? If we’re going to compete w/ the Brewers, Cubs, and other NL clubs in the Wild Card race, we’re going to need Wellemeyer to pitch well. We don’t know what we’re going to get from Carp and we don’t even know if Tony’s going to allow Wainwright to start, much less how well he’s going to pitch. We need good starts, consistently, from Todd Wellemeyer and it would be nice to get one tonight.
Overflow thread goes up around 8:30 and probably another around 9:30. Hopefully there’ll be a lot of good news to share.

Myers vs. Nats
With the AAAA lineup the Nats threw against him, the outcome shouldve been in his favor. Of course, he had to make the pitches, and they had to weakly offer at them, I understand.
Lets hope we can get some good swings on him early, and not let up til its over!
Go Cards!
C'mon you Redbirds, lets prove em' wrong, again!
even in his abysmal starts
he manages to k alot of guys. so they will have to be picky.
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
ditto
he has a ton of upside if they wouldnt shuffle him back and forth from pen to rotation..
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
yeah
how did he pass through waivers earlier in the season? Must have had a ton of gentleman’s agreements.
"..and that, my liege, is how we know the Earth to be banana shaped." -Sir Belvedere
oh, that's apparently right
he could have refused the assignment, but he agreed to go.

Baseball Tonight's rankings of top STL players of all time
1. Musial
2. Gibson
3. Brock
They obviously got this wrong – Tom Brunansky has to be up there in that list right? Seriously though – Rahjah had an MVP and 2 triple crowns. Played the last half of his career in other uniforms but he should probably be tied with Brock right?
Very brave of you to admit it...
I’m not sure I could… ;-)
"Crud, does that booger-eating spaz make me wanna puke!" - Tanner Boyle
Brock doesn't belong in the conversation.
He’s a Hall of Famer and well liked (and justly so), but no way do his accomplishments stack up to what Hornsby, O. Smith, etc., did while wearing the birds on the bat. Pujols already completely dwarfs him in terms of accomplishments too.
by StanTheManFan on Aug 3, 2008 8:13 PM EDT up reply actions
I agree. I think Rogers has to be up there in the top 3.
It is always seems like deciding between your kids when you start this conversation, though, doesn’t it?
Seems like Hornsby gets overlooked all the time
Cardinal fan in the heart of Braves country
DFA Adam Kennedy and Randy Flores!
Track 'em Tigers - An SB Nation Blog for Auburn Tigers fans
Agism.
Hornsby is too old for virtually any to remember, and he didn’t play in New York. Notice they are all still alive, too. It is an out of sight, out of mind thing.
he did play in New York
but just for one year. I guess that one year wasn’t enough to get him the love of the New Yorkers though.

Yuck!
Kruky just said Pudge hit the first home run of his career. Because, “he just became a Yankee.” In the context he said it, his career didnt start until he became a freakin Yankee! What a crock! I really dont like the WWL.

Question for you Houston fellas...
I’m coming down to watch the Cards/Astros at the end of August. When I bought my tickets, I had a chance to buy a $15 parking permit also. Should I go ahead and get one, or is there generally plenty of free places to park around the Juicebox?
"Crud, does that booger-eating spaz make me wanna puke!" - Tanner Boyle
Free - no.
Depends on how far you want to walk. You can get really close for $20. or across the freeway if you want to walk 5 or so blocks you can park for $5. There’s lots of small businesses – restaurants and stuff that open up their spots for parking.
Parking
usually everything within a mile and a half of the stadium is paid parking. I know of a parking garage about 2.5 blocks from MM for $5; its where I park all the time. What game are you going to? I just got tix for the Saturday game.
C'mon you Redbirds, lets prove em' wrong, again!
by yer dog first on Aug 3, 2008 8:14 PM EDT up reply actions
I got tickets for Saturday and Sunday
Got a motel about 2.5 miles from the park (according to the website). I considered just walking to the game, but its gonna be me, the missus, and three kids (9,6, and 4), so I’m not crazy about that idea.
"Crud, does that booger-eating spaz make me wanna puke!" - Tanner Boyle
2.5 miles
in the August Texas heat, is no picnic. I’m going to the box office next saturday to get some half priced military tickets to the Sunday Cards game. My seats for the Sat night game are in Section 105. I’m not sure where I’ll be sitting for the Sunday game though.
C'mon you Redbirds, lets prove em' wrong, again!

I'm gonna be way up there
in the Outfield deck. Got the $1 tickets for the kids. The drive down will probably cost me more than the tickets and room did. :-) That parking garage sounds pretty good. Is it easy to find?
"Crud, does that booger-eating spaz make me wanna puke!" - Tanner Boyle
yep
I’ll try to find an address/map for ya.

Thanks guys. I appreciate it… :-)
"Crud, does that booger-eating spaz make me wanna puke!" - Tanner Boyle
Directions
what direction are you coming from?
I think I’ve found the garage I park at, its on San Jacinto street. Its a one way heading east toward the stadium if youre coming from 45 N. or S. Also, theres a garage on Caroline street that heads west if your coming from 59 S. or N.
C'mon you Redbirds, lets prove em' wrong, again!

I should be able to find my way there from my motel (hopefully). $5 bucks right?
"Crud, does that booger-eating spaz make me wanna puke!" - Tanner Boyle
last time I parked there it was $5
that was for the garage on San Jacinto. I dont know about the one on Caroline.

"Crud, does that booger-eating spaz make me wanna puke!" - Tanner Boyle
no problem. Maybe I’ll see ya there. Gates usually open 2- 2.5 hours before gametime and players are usually good about signing, especially for kids. The last Cardinal game I went to, I was 2 guys away from getting the Mang to sign; Oque or someone similar emerged from the dugout, said something in spanish to El Hombre and AP had to go.

Had a similar experience
back in ‘05. My old man and I went and watched Carp get his 20th win. I was waiting to get Eck’s autograph and there was only one person in front of me when he stopped signing. Izzy signed longer than anyone on either team did… :-)

players arent very good about signing for the home fans. Though, I went to a game where Miggy signed a bunch.
