Pineiro’s revenge
against the world forever
does he win again?

as long as he doesn't wear a gold thong, i don't care what he looks like

Surely he knows better than to change
He rifled three liners last night. I doubt the slumpbuster stache is going anywhere anytime soon.
i dont think ank should have any trouble getting out of the slump
if he gets to hit mistake pitches. that double he hit last night was a hanger

I’m seeing two gamethreads on the main page. I assume this is the correct one?

Tonight's lineup per stltoday.com
S. Schumaker, 2B
C. Rasmus, RF
A. Pujols, 1B
C. Duncan, LF
R. Ankiel, CF
Y. Molina, C
K. Greene, SS
J. Thurston, 3B
J. Pineiro, P
....my quick smells like french toast...
Ludwick on the bench again?!!?
What’s this guy have to do to prove he’s a starter? He’s outperforming Albert for Goodness sakes. Are we going to start rotating Chris Bumpkin at First base every couple of games to keep him sharp. Speaking of Bumpkin, nobody’s happier than I am that he’s hitting right now, but that guy is a complete goon. Cant catch, cant throw, cant run the bases. I dont follow any AL teams but there has to be someone on that side that needs a big left-handed thumper at DH. Anybody have some ideas on takers for this guy while he’s hitting. He could surely help us improve our staff somehow. We need to dump him while his value is sky high. If he’s going to keep hitting .380 I dont care if he even wears a glove, but that aint going to happen.
As long as he gets in sometime today, I'm not too upset
His history shows being nursed may not be the worst thing in the world, and having the best pinch hitter in the league tonight isn’t a bad thing (as long as he’s USED!)
That being said, Tony promised he’ll start the rest of the week and weekend.
hecanthithecanthithecanthithecanthit
Can’t say I am either.
Let Ras get a game in, let’s see if Ank can pull out two performances in a row, put Duncan under his proper splits against a righty. Then we’ll ride out the rest of the week/weekend with him in.

on the ESPN 101.1 show
They mentioned that lefties are hitting nearly .450 against Maine this spring + start of the year.
This lineup is almost exact to the lineup we put up against Snell, which was a every LHB on deck lineup to play against his splits.
I’d say it worked considering we put up a 9 spot that game. Didn’t realize Maine had that much of an issue vs LHB so far this year, so it just makes it better

maybe
they already know they want to keep Ludwick, so they want to figure out which of the other three to trade. I’m not saying this is a good strategy, but perhaps that’s an explanation
by Cards Fan in Chitown on Apr 22, 2009 7:30 PM EDT up reply actions
oh come on
for his size he takes the bases well, his arm is average for his position and his glove is slightly below average at best. considering he’s in full health, getting on base and beating the ball like a step child, I’ll take the one error and two or three ’if it was someone else that would have been caught" any day.
goon? uh, no. If he’s hitting .380 I want him on the Cardinals, thanks.

Found it
A video posted on several online video sites depicts an incident during a Korean baseball game. After the batter is apparently hit by a pitch, the batter charges the mound, grabs his right leg in his hands and starts jumping up and down on one foot. The pitcher mimics the behavior, and within seconds the “brawl” encompasses almost every player on the field jumping up and down on one leg while holding onto their other leg. According to MLB.com, the incident took place during a celebrity baseball game in Korea and was supposed to be a parody of baseball brawls.

Lets everyone know not to worry about Luddy, he will play 5 out of 6 games(psst…that means he’s a regular)
He talked about wanting to give Ank a chance to build off of last night. (Valid)
He said that Colby needs to play(Very Valid)
I will not always defend TLR, but I do believe that some people bitch about the lineup just to hear themselves bitch. Other days TLR deserves it. Beating a dead horse just makes you more tired though, and you don’t get anything out of it.

“Life is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you’re stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there’s nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while there’s a peanut butter cup or an english toffee but they’re gone too fast and taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits of hardened jelly and teeth-shattering nuts. If you’re desperate enough to eat those, all you got left is an empty box filled with useless brown paper wrappers.”

the game won’t play. yesterday the audio kept cutting out. the last two games, the next def *high quality) hasn’t worked. the first three games of the season it was abysmal. missed half of opening day. etc
Yeah, i've had similar problems.
The past few games i’ve watched on the alt. broadcast for those reasons, but overall i’m satisfied.

hit and run is so stupid
if the guy isnt’ fast enough to steal don’t risk it. if he is fast enough to steal, just do so. most of the time you end up w/ a bad swing and caught stealing

that never happens in practice
teams suspecting it, just throw out of the zone.
opening up holes is also at best a 50-50 proposition. it’s hardly ever worth the risk
I half agree
Only hit-and-run if the runner could steal the base anyway. Don’t throw away baserunners.
However, it has its merits, as listed above, so I don’t think that it’s always a worse idea than a straight steal.

No I meant from third
Wright was pretty far off the bag, Pu would have gone halfway to home, then taken off on the throw

I just have a quick question:
Who is Joe Thurston?? I’m watching this game and I’ve never heard of this guy, and it’s really bugging me.
I seem to have lost my future self.
can we play the mets all the time?

If Glauss comes back healthy and Ankiel remembers how to hit
This will be the best hitting team in the NL

I dunno
we’ve got 2 of the best hitters in baseball batting 3 and 4, to go along with one of the top 10 prospects in baseball and a LF’er that puts up great OPS when he is healthy.

What impresses me more than anything is
Our .81 BB/K rate good for 2nd best in baseball. A team that walks a lot and doesn’t strike out a lot is something that can be substained

that wouldn't have been nearly as exciting a catch

For anyone who ever bitches about Duncan's Defense
We could have David Murphy. and they do it on purpose…with a big payroll.

plus teams have historically
sacrificed D in LF for a big bat. Duncan’s an adventure but when he’s actually hitting, he’s worth it…i think
NOPE
