The Further Adventures of Game 12: Cardinals Still at Cubs

PrintAs you read this I am listening to the dulcet tones of Mr. Mike Shannon—I hope, for our sake, that watching it has been just as enjoyable to this point.
I hope, also, that Shannon has already given P.J. Walters a nickname.

Here's the thing
you run the risk of injuring PJ by having him going back out but at the same time, he won’t pitch again for 2 weeks because of the off-days.
Tough call. Especially if this is a big, long inning.

Dunc
Almost…but I will take it
The only one who liked the Cardinals so much he became a St. Louis Cardinals football fan.
Pujols really seems to be running well this year
Dunno if it’s cause he’s finally 100% healthy or what.
is PJ really not in line for the win?
And does PJ have a nickname?
Inquiring minds are distracted from the game.
Not in question: that Albert guy is pretty good.

Call his out pitch Peanut Butter because it causes hitters to make that wierd face that dogs do when they are trying to get Peanut Butter off the roof of thier mouth.

he pretty much is and will be
look at last year
600 PA’s
I don't understand the OF rotation anyway!
Dunc is hitting like a beast, just sub him out in the late innings for defense. Ludwick has to be in there everyday. You could platoon Rasmus and Ankiel, but it seems like Rasmus is winning that race, too.
again
luddy was, is, and will be everday
relax if he gets a break early on
Well, ...
he “wasn’t” at the beginning of last year, and he “isn’t” at the beginning of this year. It remains to be seen if he “will be.”
he was starting around may last year
we’ve had 2 outfielders top 140 games since larussa took over
fricking relax on this one
Good job, Phillip DeWayne.
Gave us a good shot at a W.

All the Cub fans at work gave up giving me crap. They hate hearing “Hey, is D Lee up yet? We need a double play.”
Even at 4 innings,
I’ll take PJ’s start today. This was a very tough assignment, and he showed some real upside today.
I'd bet Boggs get's the next one
then we see who takes the lead

Miller appears to be a full inning pitcher,
especially when the lefties outnumber the righties. Dennys is the LOOGY of the pen

Still just the 5th inning.
If they use him for just one out, it would seem to be a waste of a pither, to me. This is a close game, and there is a lot of time to go. They can’t afford to just burn through pitchers like you can call up more for later in the season.
Our Bullpen catcher is not very good

Ah
I remember college fondly. Lots of skipped classes to watch baseball, drink beer, etc. Spent 11 years doing that before I finally had to get a job. Now I work from home, am drinking beer, and watching baseball…hmm some things never change.
Miller against Ramirez is pretty scary

Is it me or should Miller be done now
and the rooftop that used to say Budweiser, now says Horseshoe Casino. Weird.
The only one who liked the Cardinals so much he became a St. Louis Cardinals football fan.
There was a lawsuit last year
I forget the details. Bud didn’t wanna pony up more cash or something. Those people had a tarp over the roof at one point.
For those curious,
Walters’ fastball touched 90 multiple times and sat at 88-89.
Evidently he really has picked up a bit of velocity.
i'd be willing to wager a large sum of money that tlr is better at his job, than you would be at his
No shit? Doesn't mean he's made multiple asinine decisions.
No one would be on this blog if every decision was swallowed whole. That’s the whole point of this.
162 game season
i’m sure a several moves by anyone are going to look that way
it’s a game of probabilities where the probabilities burn you from time to time… others you have little choice and get burned because of it
it’s how it is
2 lefties K
3 righties hits, Its not F****** rocket science Tony.
"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.

I build my baseball team around that ballplayer."
I don't get this
Miller is good…in his role. He’s bad outside his role. Use him in his role.

Gotta wonder why he would bring Miller in in this spot anyway.
If he didn’t want to burn through pitchers (the only reason I assume he kept Miller in) then why bring him in in this spot in the game? I don’t really get it.
he couldn't get a win
he did not go 5 innings
he wasn't in line for the win
and this is on Tony, not Miller
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
how it is Millers fault?
He was not signed to get right handed hitters out.
MyBrute - Where tiny gladiators rule the internets
He was the one with the ball in his hand.
I’m not saying Tony doesn’t deserve most of the blame, but Miller didn’t have to get beaten like a pinata there, either.
he's a major league pitcher
he should be able to get an occasional right-handed player out.

I’m just not on board with absolving him of responsibility for giving up the hits.

But this young season is really starting to wear on me. The Ludwick stuff, and now this is just idiotic.

As does your bashing.
"Stats are for losers," Muschamp said after last week's victory. "I like winning games."
if people didn't think TLR could do no wrong
what would counter the force from people who think TLR can do no right?
it’s like 50 cent said; there’d be no good without bad (or something like that)
i'm quite positive that tlr can do some wrong...
it happens all the time
the difference is freaking out about it, because most of the time there are situations that pretty much force the wrong decisions (carp out, 4 innings from the starter, etc.)
Still not a good move.
Just because Barden bailed him out, and the Cubs failed to really punish Miller for his mistakes, doesn’t make it a smart move. The averages will work against him, and a manager has to be judged off of the averages. Individual circumstances are too inconsistent.
haha
now miller is in line for the win. That is beautiful.

Every single time...
we take Zambrano deep at Wrigley, I can’t help but think about him yelling like a lunatic at Edmonds that night. So bizarre…
People keep bringing that up
Care to tell the story? For some reason, I can’t remember it.

I'm pretty sure it was Sunday Night Baseball...
and he had brushed Edmonds back a few times. Jimmy then proceeded to take him deep twice (I think). Anyways, after the second one, Jimmy is circling the bases and Zambrano is just screaming at him like a mad man, and Edmonds has his head down paying no attention whatsoever. I’m pretty sure they said later that Jimmy had no clue Zambrano was even yelling at him…
you know
he spent a lot of energy on those HR swings today, he is bound to be tired tomorrow

and its a long way around those bases

Man, Lou REALLY wants to give Zambrano a chance at a win
He clearly doesn’t have it and is at 108 pitches.

This hurts a little bit to say this
But Franklin has looked really good this year.
Not afraid to nitpick
I hope Zambrano Stays in for the whole game
Let him throw 150 pitches, Lou. And let him take the loss.
Watch how much FUN your locker room gets!
I love watching that clip of Luddys three run homer.. all the Cubs fans in the bleachers..
just standing there watching in agony
At this rate
Luddy’s gonna get a really big raise next year.
by DisplacedCardsFan on Apr 17, 2009 4:20 PM EDT reply actions
Maybe he will at least ...
get LaRussa to stop calling for “an impact bat.” He’s gotta be thinking, “What the hell am I?”
thats a frak load of changes without touching the pitcher
is that a record?

I will be the one at VEB Day
with the Ludwick tee on. I would buy the jersey, but wearing a jersey in August In St Louis is nuts

BP jerseys are the way to go
Way cheaper, plus I like wearing red better anyway.
Not afraid to nitpick
When is VEB day this year?

Too much Boggs exposure

I need to watch a few more Cubs games
and try to figure out what Fukodome is doing differently.
or heck maybe his confidence was just in the gutter.

Ryan takes Barden's spot
Barden moves to Thurston’s spot
Thurston moves to Schu’s spot
Schu moves to Duncan’s spot
Duncan out
Tony makes me dizzy sometimes.
He's finally realized his goal of creating a MIFer team
Not MILFer unfortunately, MIFer.
Not afraid to nitpick
Looks like Boggs has the same fatal flaw as last season
he likes the middle of the plate.
"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."
Ok, don't get carried away Dan
Their rotation is damn good. Ours is having some career years.

Interesting defensive setup there

well that's unfortunate

i hate these shifts that our staff is putting out there
its happened like 3 times already this game where they have hit a regular out for a hit
can we wait til after he bats to say that
you are just asking for him to hit a HR here
MyBrute - Where tiny gladiators rule the internets
look at his track record
the guy never hit until AAA and last year.
think
that was before he had the hit. I just went by WGN

Will we ever get a safe lead in this God forsaken game?
We need to throw up a 9 spot next inning.

Boggs is just not very good.
i thought that was made pretty abundantly clear last year
MyBrute - Where tiny gladiators rule the internets
sometimes pitchers struggle their first time in the bigs
I think we need to give him more than 35 innings before we decide his fate

We still needs us some runs.
