eh?
that was a pretty good pitch… and TLR’s the one not letting the IBB
I guarantee TLR gave the sign for "Don't give him anything to hit"
Pineiro is just awful and or stupid.
boo cubs, hooray beer
seriously...
he pretty much hit the glove Yadi set up…
fine then, Yadi is the dumb one
Whoever made the call to put that ball anywhere near the strike zone is an absolute moron.

I'll admit
I thought Joel was “fixed” after last season and I applauded the extension. Now I can’t wait for him to not be on our team anymore

like I said before
tony is an idiot to pitch to Manny in that situation
When the time comes for me to not be bothered by losing that is when I know it is time to retire my fandom
I'm not sure why we're pitching to Manny at all
considering their lineup ain’t gonna hit too much. he really wants Pineiro dfa’d apparently

Wow, seriously I think firing Tony LaRussa isn't to bad of an idea
I’ve been holding off that judgement a while. Platooning Ludwick, batting the Pitcher 8th, Sticking with Izzy way to long and too many times, not going for series sweeps.
Just today
He puts Lopez in LF (He gets a hit though so maybe I can’t fault him for that).
Pitched to Manny with RISP when he’s the hottest hitter in baseball.
Continues to defend Izzy.
Not sure that any other manager in the game today
Does what TLR has done with this year’s club
He frustrates the hell out of me as well, but I think that his managerial abilities have been taken for granted
Cardinal fan in the heart of Braves country

"Just because nobody understands you doesn't make you an artist."
any other manager
with the possible exception of Piniella, Leyland, and Cox has a sub 500 record with this same group of guys.
that's the thing
but he could be doing better is what is most frustrating… he can rally the guys and turn them into winners, but then he makes the most confounding decisions with the bullpen, platooning Ludwick, etc.

I'm not sure Cox is that great
I mean he had possibly the three best pitchers in the game during that whole run
Cardinal fan in the heart of Braves country
DFA Adam Kennedy and Randy Flores!
"Just because nobody understands you doesn't make you an artist."
how about the fact that
he won the frigging WS in 2006 doing the same thing, dealing with incompetent pitchers, streaky hitters, and retreads from other teams?
if you arent going to give tlr credit for that and this year
then no manager gets any credit for anything they do

they still had to GET there
and it wasn’t cause the pitchers were lights out in September. You may remember some drastic roster moves….
They got enough wins and the central was awful that year
I’m not saying it’s impossible that Tony salvaged that year, I’m just saying it’s possible he wasn’t a major contributing factor.
That STILL is not an excuse to pitch to Manny there
inexcuseable
of course not
but I think the manager’s job should be Tony’s until he quits, because nearly every other manager out there is going to be a downgrade….
Now I disagree with that
Think Bobby Bowden, Joe Paterno
Cardinal fan in the heart of Braves country

"Just because nobody understands you doesn't make you an artist."
Bobby Bowden
My Grandfather passed away when I was 13, so Coach Bowden became a sort of Grandfather to me after that. He really is one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
C'mon you Redbirds, lets prove em' wrong, again!
by yer dog first on Aug 6, 2008 9:14 PM EDT up reply actions
One guy my mom works with played 3rd string like tackle or something
When Bowden coached at Samford in Birmingham. Obviously that was 30+ years ago, but a couple of years ago, he was in Tallahassee and he swung by Bowden’s office, and Bobby remembered him and everything. Really impressive if you ask me.
Still, he’s lost his coaching touch. And Terry sucks.
Cardinal fan in the heart of Braves country
DFA Adam Kennedy and Randy Flores!
"Just because nobody understands you doesn't make you an artist."
Bowden
he hasnt been the Coach since Richt was the offensive coordinator. I agree, Terry is not a good coach, at all. If you believe anything the WWL says, Richt could be on his way out of UGA if they dont do something this year. I personally wouldnt mind him coming back to coach, but Jimbo “forever second” Fischer is the “coach in waiting”.

You can never quantify that type of thing
But with as many soul-crushing losses as we’ve had this season, how the team manages to come back out fighting tooth and nail every night is beyond me

"Just because nobody understands you doesn't make you an artist."
his hands are kind of tied with the BP also...
no reliever has been that excellent. Springer is probably the best for the year, but he blew one just this last series vs the phils
worth mentioning
the game that Springer wasnt too sharp in was also the 3rd game IN A ROW that he had to pitch in. if there’s anything we can say about the Old Dude, he is reliable and he doesnt do to well on back to back to back days.

Armchair managing...h
1) Ludwick was platooned ONLY in the first month of the season. Are you saying you knew that he was going to be an All-Star this year? If so, point me to the post.
2) There’s absolutely nothing wrong with batting the pitcher eighth, and in fact it’s probably a small net plus.
3) Tony keeps going back to Izzy because everyone else pretty much sucks, and at least Izzy used to be good. Other than trying Springer, there hasn’t been much of an option. The point is, blaming Tony b/c Izzy has “collapsed” this season is shooting the messanger.
-- GOOCH
I can agree with the first 2
but if Tony would refuse to use Izzy, he would not be on this team. The past means nothing right now, we are in a pennant race, right?
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
Tony isn't crazy...
he can see Izzy is sucking. And if we had an established elite reliever out there who could step in, it would have happened a long time. We don’t. He tried Franklin. Franklin sucks. There’s no point in trying Villone, he sucks. Perez and McClellan are rooks. Perez has had control issues and Kyle has been hittable the last two months. The only guy who you could argue in favor is Springer, but he’s unfamilliar with the role and old. I think Tony has tried Izzy too much. But I can’t argue that trying him is nuts. There’s a logic to it. Suggesting he should be fired over it is just…ridiculous. D.GOOCH
-- GOOCH
is there such thing as a ROOGY?
Not sure about Motte’s numbers but i think its like 90 some k’s in like 59 innings. lots of walks though
i'd die for that
and we have it, it’s called Perez. Should he have his stuff figured out and with confidence.

On Glaus...
FOXSports.com’s Ken Rosenthal reports St. Louis Cardinals 3B Troy Glaus could win the Gold Glove at third base. Glaus’ four errors are the fewest by a National League third baseman; the next lowest total is eight. Glaus also ranks fourth in zone rating. The other three players are on the disabled list or no longer playing regularly.
he deserves it

Gold gloves...
frankly, we should have 3 GG’s locked up (Albert, Troy, Yadier). Iztu has been GG quality out there, but doesn’t hit enough for consideration. The other GG we could get is Ankiel. But the injury might cost him. D.GOOCH (of course, this all presumes that GG voting actually has something to do with defense…)

haha Dan just asked if a five run lead is enough
is he reading VEB?
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2

Pujols a triple away from the cycle

This is turning into a solid start for Joel
I still haven’t completely given up faith on him. I liked what I saw a lot last year.
That was a fluke
He is performing along his career numbers this season. He is just really, really bad.
That's how you pitch with a 5-run lead Joel

oh i have no doubt pujols has been more productive with the bases juiced

the real stat though is look at ABs with bases juiced

Looper
Well Looper is throwing a day game, last year that would be great this year his ERA in the day is over 6 and below 4 at night.
JP
got Ramirez that time. Nice….
He was stinking it up earlier but he seems to have settled down now….maybe watching Lowe implode calmed him down in some sort of cosmic conservation-of-suck way….
alright jo-el
how about you go 8 or so tonight?

at least he got through 7 innings
thats 5 more than i thought he would get through

ya i was just thinking that
we think 4 runs in 7 is good now…
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
6 innings 3 runs is a quality start
not sure about 7 innings 4 runs. if he gets through another inning without any damage i’d take it for sure.
but he's going deep into the game
the offense has scored a bunch of runs, we have a big lead….he is keeping the frigging bullpen off the field for the time being, which means he’s doing what’s being asked of him.
agreed
it’s HUGE if we don’t even have to go to the ‘pen tonight.
