Losing

The Cardinals are already on what has been a season high losing streak (6). Tonight, they stare down loss #7. The last time they lost 7 games in a row? September 13th of last season. The pitcher that handed it to them? Aaron Harang.

Yikes.

by Hardcore Legend on Sep 17, 2008 7:09 PM EDT reply actions  

didnt they hang like 10 runs on Harang last time?

Hopefully they do something like that.
I don’t even think this team could blow that kinda lead

Someone said that Tony said in the pregame

that ‘we know what we have in Brian Barton out there, we want to see what we have in Brendan Ryan’.

AKA: We’ve given up.

TLR's pre-game explanation

In his interview was, Barton’s been up the whole year, they know what they have in him.

Using that logic, wouldn’t it make sense to bring up a young OF’er and a young 3Baseman. Or, perhaps just put Ryan at 2nd, sit Grit, and let the young guy Barton play?

If I've learned anything about Tony

it’s that explanations aren’t theories. They are isolated to one 1 event and should not be tested or applied to others.

by Hardcore Legend on Sep 17, 2008 7:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

it is kinda hard not to have a better line than Ryans

Barton’s line is .274 .361 .400

Ryan’s line is .243 .306 .291 (worst offensive OFer in STL history?)

is there a record

for the most OFs used during the course of 1 season?

So far we’re at: Duncan, Skip, Ludwick, Ankiel, Barton, Mather, Phelps, Stavinoha, Miles, Lopez, Ryan; didn’t Adam Kennedy play out there a game or two?

The only players we haven’t run out there are Colby Rasmus and the ghost of Luis Saturria!

Yesterday they said that while we do have Perez. It wouldn’t hurt for the team to look for a Vet closer.

Then today they said that this off season we are looking for an impact bat and that the OF is full with Ludwick, Ankiel, Skip, Duncan and Mather (yes those are the only names mentioned) and that to improve on that would require the Cards to move an organizational player that we covet.

While possibly that's true...

Tony seems to be deliberately making the worst out of what he has. Starting Ryan at any position other than SS for instance (even if he handles them defensively, he doesn’t hit well enough to play anywhere else), when there are better options. Refusing to play youngsters if they were called up (Freese, Rasmus, etc).

Why?

Tony is a large part of the reason they are losing, opting to start middle infielders in the outfield (including Ryan, who just doesn’t hit, period) instead of Barton or Stavinoa (sp?) (the latter of whom hasn’t hit much, but at least hit at AAA unlike Ryan). And Tony has refused to let Mo call up guys from AAA, saying he wouldn’t play them (in favor of Ryan and Floppy and the horde of MIFs)

why not?

if mather and stavinoha can get some playing time this year, why wouldn’t freese get a chance next year? it depends on what’s going on with the roster of course, but i bet freese will get a long look in spring training at least.

its too early to make assumptions about who will or won’t play next year, i think.

by adiueordie on Sep 18, 2008 12:40 AM EDT up reply actions  

Freese is a 3B

it makes no sense to try and turn him into a LF like they’ve done with every other player they’ve called up this year.

God help us if we can’t find enough guys to play the OF. If we have a need in the OF, it darn well better be Rasmus from Memphis and later in the year Jones from Springfield/Memphis.

Freese only playing time will be as a backup 3B for Troy Glaus, which means very little PT. He will stay in AAA.

If they try to turn him into anything other than what he is (hot corner), I’ll have lost all faith in the organization to put it’s foot down and end this silliness of turning everyone into a utility player.

by Hardcore Legend on Sep 18, 2008 12:43 AM EDT up reply actions  

i wasn’t trying to say he should play the OF. i just meant its not as if younger players aren’t getting at bats. if there’s a need for a third basemen, he could very well be the guy they go to.

outside of that, he isn’t much use to the team if all he plays is one position. how many teams carry a guy on their bench that only backs up third base?

and he won’t be a better option than glaus at third base by next year anyway. defensively or offensively.

none of that has anything to do with la russa, either. teams just don’t carry two third basemen, unless they’re platooning (which rarely happens).

by adiueordie on Sep 18, 2008 1:16 AM EDT up reply actions  

Right

which is why if LaRussa is back, Freese will be in AAA. Tony won’t carry a guy solely as a PH’er and a backup 3B. Especially carrying 13 pitchers.

by Hardcore Legend on Sep 18, 2008 2:02 AM EDT up reply actions  

And he shouldn't.

Glaus is going to get most of the time, so why carry a guy that can only play one position? I know you don’t like it, but Ryan, Lopez, and a host of others can all fill in at 3rd when needed.

Now, if Freese can play another position, adequately, he might find a bench spot. I just don’t recall him playing anything but 3B in AAA this year.

by SoonerfanTU on Sep 18, 2008 10:17 AM EDT up reply actions  

hell Lopez can fill in

not adequately though. Why can’t we have a real corner IF backup? This super utility type player nonsense is crazy.
