NLDS Game 3 Open Thread

Los Angeles Dodgers at St. Louis Cardinals, Oct 10, 2009 6:07 PM EDT


Vicente Padilla is criminally insane. Everyone in baseball knows it. Milton Bradley has it much more together than this guy. What's a better kept secret is that he has pretty good stuff. That's the reason he's been allowed to stick around in baseball as long as he has. He has a 4.45 FIP this season. His problem has been too many walks. Fortunately, he throws fastballs about 75% of the time. We like hitting fastballs though his is a pretty good one.

Though he's bounced around, he's not really the typical journeyman pitcher. He's got much better stuff and has shut-down ability. It wouldn't surprise me if he came out and threw a gem today. It also wouldn't surprise me if he imploded and went on a rampage either. In any case, today's game could be a tough one, what w/ Pineiro's recent troubles and Padilla's ability. If we get through today, and come back w/ Carp tomorrow, I like our chances.

I think being at home

might affect that. Of all the things home/away crowds affect most, I think high leverage situation such as RISP seem to show that.

I got my HD. I hope I get to watch more than one cards game this year with it.

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

I have a good feeling about this - Ben Crenshaw, in a press conference on the night of Sept. 25, 1999. The American Ryder Cup team was down 4 points and came back and won the following day. It was, and still is, the largest comeback in Ryder Cup history.

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

no, because that second pitch would have been called a strike on us.

Piniero is to blame for letting it get to him, but that doesn’t change that the umpire had a disproportionate effect on this game.

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

the worst thing about it is

we’ve had the absolute minimum number of home games possible in the playoffs. So, pretty much no extra revenue, just a couple of million, max. I was really hoping the postseason would get us an extra $20m or so (apparently that’s about the average) to keep hold of holliday but now; embarassing sweep, quite possibly no Holliday, no extra $, and no Brett Wallace.

Yuck.

I believe it now is

his longest consecutive game streak without a home run

His first at bat today?

But what are you asking? “When did he hit a ball hard” or “when did he hit a homerun”?

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

Baseball really can be the cruelest game.

Follow a team for 162 games, and this is the effing reward you get.

I really hate sports sometimes.

It's not like it is expected that we win the world series

but does it have to end like this?

"I remember once talking to one guy on the Cardinals and asking him what Pujols was like as a teammate. He said something that’s really special, if you think about it. He said: "Albert is so good that you feel like you let him down when you screw up." I thought that had to be the ultimate line that could ever be said about a ballplayer. I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."

At this point, I'm just ready to wash this team of TLR, McRae, Holliday, DeRosa, Pineiro

I just think we need a new direction.

Than end up with this result.

Yes, because caring about the long term success of your team and seeing the worst case scenario

For a trade you didn’t want to happen coming true means that you aren’t a fan.

No. Building a long term contender that consistently competes is the goal

And auctioning off your best talent for rentals to appease your manager is precisely how you don’t do it.

we have a healthy Carpenter and Wainwright and Pujols. It was worth the gamble.

I think you're a Real Fan

and I don’t like anybody questioning anybody else’s commitment. But this is the hazard of making any trade to get a team into the playoffs—once there, a lot of it really is luck.

Wallace had no part on our ML team

getting holliday, with the chance of signing him is a decent trade in my view.

by DanUpBaby on Oct 10, 2009 7:21 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

No, it's not

People keep acting like Wallace plays 3rd base like he’s Andre the Giant. That’s just a crock meant to justify getting rid of him.

no, it's not

it’s an opinion that had wide currency before the trade and will continue to hold it afterward.

by DanUpBaby on Oct 10, 2009 7:24 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I still to this day believe

the only reason the Walrus was drafted was to trade him at a later date. He never had a spot in this franchise. I’m not saying he was traded for the right guy necessarily, I’m just saying.

Also…I like Cody a lot.

Well

Wallace’s being taken in the draft was a mild surprise..,and led to people even then saying it was a smart choice because they took the best talent, and could flip it for a need when that time came.

Trading Wallace is not really the issue to me…it’s whether you trade him for the right player(s).

by siddfynch on Oct 10, 2009 7:24 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I realize this

but, I do believe it will make Holliday contemplate StL more than if he hadn’t been traded.
