I wouldn't have brought him in either
but he did manage one good inning
why he was left in for a second one is beyond explanation – it’s as if TLR is trying to just break these guys of their suck – and it is NOT WORKING

regardless...
Franklin had already pitched a scoreless frame; once he had obviously no control over his fastball and had two men on base the choice to leave him out there was borderline retarded.

i agree,
but i looked like it was hit right at him & he jumped for some reason & he just missed the ball
but unless we get a new angle on the play, we can’t be sure

He cant hit for crap and his glove has been average at best IMO. I would rather see Ryan.

I disagree very strongly with you about his glove being mediocre
he is very smooth over at short and has done nicely at the plate lately. He is the least of our problems right now.

sadly
it’s been so long since we’ve had an “average” glove at SS in STL that when we get one, it seems like he’s a gold-glover…

This game to me
pretty much tells me this is not our year. We need to win games like this if we think of ourselves as a playoff contender. I know there will be some that will bite back at me and say there are still 2 more games to go in this series and hopefully we will win but if we had any ideas of playing in October games like this need to be won. Let’s hope the Brewers hit a skid this weekend against the Nationals.
We’re not out of it..but it’s hard to tell if we are really in it either.

Really? This 1 game told you that? So it wasn’t the countless bullpen blown saves? or the fact that we’ve lost games like this countless times this year?

This is not helping the
“Wainwright as a starter” cause. Pretty frustrating. This counts as yet another blown save correct?

How many times can you outplay a team
and keep finding ways to lose? Yes, Isringhausen and Franklin have been brutal in the clutch this year but we also – like today – don’t hit well late in the game. Too many missed opportunities, both this game and this season.

Yup...
I guess it’s Tony’s fault for not starting the big pick up, Lopez.
This is what I hate of the Cardinals of late. They don’t sell and they don’t buy. Lohse and Ludwick could have brought tons of prospects. Or they could have maybe tried to pick up Giles (who hits much better away from San Diego) to boost the offense and try to compete. But nope, they just stand pat and a 3rd place team is going to stay in third place.
