Game 161 Open Thread
Milwaukee Brewers at St. Louis Cardinals, Oct 3, 2009 1:10 PM EDT
Speaking of Motte, after being lit up from June through August -- each month featured an OPS against greater than 1.000 -- his OPS against this month (September and October) is just .474. Now, we're only talking about 39 PAs -- make of it what you will -- but his walks are down (just 2) and his strikeouts are up (14). Maybe that's a sign he's figuring it out. He gave up 10 homers in just 121 PAs from June through August but none since September began.
Bernie makes some good points in his column this morning. Why was Wainwright sent back out to start the 7th inning, having thrown 83 pitches through 6 w/ a 5 run lead? He threw 130 pitches the other day and will pitch game 2 of the postseason next week. What was there to gain by having him go back out there. Moreover, why is Yadi playing when he's obviously in pain and limited in his ability to catch? Again, what is there to gain? The point where I disagree w/ Bernie is that he seems to imply that an implosion was inevitable when McClellan entered the game w/ 2 on and a 5 run lead. I disagree. It's K-Mac's job to get people out. He failed miserably and it's not Wainwright's fault and it's not Tony's fault. It might have been better for him to enter at the beginning of the inning but he may have to enter the game w/ runners on next week. He's got to get batters out. It absolutely was not a situation where he was destined to fail.
Isn't it curious that the Reds fired pitching coach Dick Pole one day after the pine tar fiasco involving Bronson Arroyo? They chose now, w/ three games left in the season, to fire him? Interesting. To me it's also interesting that this is the 2nd time (of note) that it's happened to the Cards and neither time did Tony or Duncan want to make an issue of it. Both times they seemed to know, during the game, that the other team's pitcher was cheating (I'm of course referring to the infamous Kenny Rogers World Series game) and they ignored it. It's somewhat cowardly to ignore it during the game, not having the umpire go out and check the opposing pitcher, and then to blow up about it in the media after the game. Could it be b/c they know that our guys are cheating as well and they don't want the blowback? Here's my question -- why is using pine tar or vaseline or whatever to doctor a baseball considered less of a crime than using steroids (a baseball crime! I know that using steroids w/o a doctor's prescription is a legal crime!)? Why do we just sort of sweep it under the rug or say "That's part of the game" or whatever but treat those who used (or may have used) steroids as pariahs? I'm just asking. If a player injected himself w/ a steroid in the dugout, the world would go ape-shit but we see a pitcher on the mound obviously cheating and not even the opposing manager's willing to make an issue out of it? Think Bud Selig's going to punish Bronson Arroyo? I don't. Why? How is cheating w/ a foreign substance different from cheating w/ a PED? The only person being physically harmed by the PED is the user. It's not like his steroid use hurts other ballplayers physically. They're both cheating. Why is one the scourge of the Earth and the other's a harmless vice?
Tony apparently likes what he's seen of Troy Glaus. (Perhaps he didn't notice all the whining he did during last night's game!) I do, too. He really hasn't hit the ball that hard but he seems to be swinging ok and he has more potential to help the team in the postseason than someone like Khalil Greene or David Freese does, IMO. It may turn out that he's totally useless but there's enough potential that he's worth a roster spot.
Today is Lohse's last opportunity to show the world (or at least Tony and Dave) that he deserves to start any game 4 in the postseason. I've said multiple times that he's my choice for game 4 and I want Smoltz in the pen, mostly b/c he'd probably be our 2nd best reliever the moment he warms up. Still, it's curious to me that Tony and Dave haven't taken a game or 2 to see how quickly Smoltz can get ready and if he can help out of the pen. If Lohse doesn't start, I doubt that he'll get any meaningful postseason innings whereas Smoltz can really help the team out of the pen, IMO. I'm hoping for a good start today so that we can get the most out of both pitchers b/c, like I said, Carp and Wainwright can't do it by themselves.

Rough way to lose a game
but it sure as hell happens. Who expects that Joe Nathan can give up 2 homers in one game? I don’t, but it happens.
However, it is very peculiar that they chose to fire the pitching coach one day after the incident. There has to be some correlation.
Troy Glaus has looked good recently. All it took was just getting used to the game again. How much will he play? Not much, unless Derosa just can’t hit or gets injured.
Lohse pitched well his last outing, but pitching well today and having a lot mroe confidence in Lohse can’t hurt at all. :P

Yadi will start tomorrow but only play a few innings.
extenuating circumstances
I disagree mightily that we can just hang this on Kyle. (I’m also not happy with the threats of violence heaped on him last night, even with the luggage cracks aside.)
K-Mac was kept back at the hotel in Cincinnati over blinding migraines. The kind that, according to Dan and Al, were so bad that the one time he pitched through it, he was that close to falling over and vomiting on the mound.
And I will happily belabor the point that Kyle McClellan was supposed to be the guy who should not, ever, be overextended out of the pen. Am I missing something? Wasn’t this the takeaway point from last year’s pen, other than Jason Motte = throws hard? Yet this is what fangraphs tells me:
Brad Thompson 80.0 IP
Kyle McClellan 66.2 IP
Ryan Franklin 60.0 IP
Mitchell Boggs 57.0 IP
Jason Motte 56.2 IP
Trever Miller 43.1 IP
Dennys Reyes 40.1 IP
Blake Hawksworth 38.0 IP
Josh Kinney 14.1 IP
Someone want to explain this? I don’t get it. Overextended K-Mac = bad, so let’s leave him in. Meanwhile Ryan Franklin without regular work = bad, so let’s not let him pitch for a WEEK.
It’s about as unconscionable as leaving in your lynchpin All-Star catcher in the game despite obvious mobility problems and near (we hardly knew ye, Ankiel) record-breaking number of runs scored on wild pitches. Oh, wait.
And whining is part of Troy’s charm. Or. Whatever you call bat-slams these days. [sniff] Thanks for coming, Santa.

Our Bullpen has pitched the fewest IP in baseball
We have pitched 429 IP. Lets compare to the other playoff teams
Rockies: 458.0
Red Sox: 469.0
Angels: 475.1
Tigers: 476.1
Phillies: 478
Yankees: 507.1
Dodgers: 546
That is a huge difference between the Cardinals and the Dodgers. I think our perception is that the bullpen has been doing bad but in reality they pitch less than anyone else and have had a strong Sept with a low ERA and low FIP.

thank GOB for our starters
so why was K-Mac kept in the game?
(and yeah, I’ve been really happy with their September. No goggles! my worry with this playoff-green bullpen is that the mental side of things is now fracked beyond belief.)

I hear you on the whole cheating thing Chuck
I just saw a video of Joe Mauer stealing signs from the other day. Isn’t that also cheating? What about uppers? They seem like they have a huge impact on the game also. I for one want to see Mark McGwire gets the respect he deserves from baseball and especially Cardinal fans. He brought a lot of us back to baseball after the strikes in 94. To be treated so poorly by the media, the fans, and the ownership saddens me.
I always thought
that stealing signs was not illegal if it was done on the field
No excuses. No injuries. No "better luck next time"
Do it, and shut the f—- up.

I'm sure there are tons of things done in attempt to gain an advantage.
Most of it goes unnoticed to the general public.
It can be as obvious as stealing signs (in Mauer’s case) or as unnoticed as turning on the A/C (or vents or whatever) in the Metrodome while the home team is batting as to gain an advantage in air current (not sure I buy the logic, but there are those that do).
Point is, Mauer got caught relaying signs to the batter (allegedly). Shit like this happens all the time and has happened since the dawn of baseball. Mauer may have been tipping Kubel off, but he still had to hit a 95 MPH Verlander fastball to make it worth anything.

not cheating
if you can steal / figure out the signs, it’s fair game. being a pitcher in college, if i wasnt throwing we were usually trying to steal the opposing coach’s signs – won a couple games that way
I find it interesting that EVERYONE thinks John Smotlz will all of a sudden be able to dominate from the pen
He clearly isn’t pitching like he was 3 years ago. I don’t see how a move to an underachieving pen, with no build up, in the postseason, with a new team is a good idea. Smells like irrational optimism.

I rate our many 3B as
DeRosa>Glaus>Freese>K Greene>Thurston
by FlimtotheFlam on Oct 3, 2009 1:02 PM EDT up reply actions
trying to build my 'no' brief on Glaus
and it’s not easy. I don’t like that he is a whiner and contends with the plate umpire on at least one of every three pitches; I don’t like him taking a mashable pitch right down central when he was apparently looking for something else (being a guess hitter).
But I admit my main reason for wanting him off the playoff roster is emotional; namely, the guys fought hard to get there without him, and it feels funny to give HIM a seat at the table when he contributed zero to get us there; it gives me a hessian feeling, even tho I realize he was a Cardinal in very good standing LAST year.
However, my head concurs absolutely with the continuum above:
DeRosa>Glaus>Freese>K Greene>Thurston.
So, I guess I lose my case.

Looks like he is scared someone is go to see him and remove him from the dugout before he finishes giving his speak.
NLDS roster
tony on the pregame – One interesting item was dicussions on how many pitchers to carry: 11 or 12. Looks like it might come down to carrying Thursty/K-bot or one of Boggs, Thompson or Welley. Three players (not counting the four sept callups) will be left off the NLDS roster.
I wonder if Freese will play himself in the discussion at all
I think Thurston will make it because he is lefty. But I actually find Tony to be rather rational in the playoffs. He might realize Thurston sucks.
by FlimtotheFlam on Oct 3, 2009 1:07 PM EDT up reply actions
I don't think Freese really had a shot at all.
Very limited exposure to major league pitching.
Plus, Tony is trying to mix in Glaus and DeRosa at third.
No PAs to give to Mr. Freese, therefore no chance to impress.

Ground ball to Lugo
Albert wanders to far over towards second. He realizes that he needs to get back to the bag and starts running back. Loshe sees that Pujols is to far from the bag and starts running to first also. Lugo throws it chest high over first. Albert ducks and Kyle just watches sail over the bag.
no play there
Though holding the ball might have been better. Then again. either of the players on first could have caught the ball for the out.

Can’t you strike out instead Joe? Why does it have to be the absolute worst thing you can do?
He could've done much worse
Imagine if, after hitting the DP ball, the bat flew out of hands and ricocheted off of Pujol’s elbow to Carpenter’s shoulder to Waino’s middle finger to Holliday’s pie hole. That would’ve been much worse.

So they only get credit for
K’s and if the ball is hit back to them? I must disagree. The catcher still gets credit for throwing someone out. If the pitcher didn’t throw the pitch the catcher doesn’t throw the guy out. If the pitcher doesn’t throw the pitch the outfielder doesn’t catch the fly ball.
Who needs affection when you can have blind hatred?
As a result of a swing and a miss.
I mean, isn’t this true for any out other than a K or a ball played by the pitcher?

So Franklin gets credit for an inning pitched but only got 1 out

1 hit, 2 walks, one thrown out stealing second, another thrown out at the plate.
It’s one thing to give him credit for inducing a ground out or fly out.
But he sucked that inning and still gets credit for something he didn’t contribute to.

Testicle-exploding shit storms, to date: T.E.S.S '08, T.E.S.S '09
two reasons for optimism
tomorrow’s game (our game I mean) now means nothing, so it will in effect be a three day layoff before we have to get serious: maybe the lay-off will do us good.
And we still could have home field advantage in the best of seven round 2, if we win the best of five against whoever and the wild card (be it LA or Colo) also survives.
Got to be taking on 2-0 there with Pujols on deck
"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."
