| Boggs | Cabrera |
| 1-0, 1.17 | 0-2, 4.42 |
Cabrera's a guy whose star has really fallen. He's always been a guy that scouts loved b/c he had great stuff and about 3 years ago everyone expected him to be one of the best young starters in the AL. Then, this offseason, the O's released him and he signed w/ the Nationals. His problem so far has been throwing strikes -- 12 BB to just 7 Ks -- and he was shellacked in his last outing against the Mets. He has only yielded 1 HR in 18.1 IP so far this season. Hopefully, he's not due. It's nice to get to a good start by winning a series opener.

Tyler Greene
in the lineup tonight….Rasmus and Greene in the lineup. This wasn’t supposed to happen til 2011
Boggs
I’ve seen Boggs pitch a few times against minor leaguers and mixed squads and he looked just amazing every time. Looking through his gamelogs and recalling DFR’s, he’s mixed in these kinds of superb starts with piss-poor games.
Here’s hoping he stays focused for every start now that he’s at the highest level.
If the curveball is working tonight
he’ll be fine. The Nationals are. . . well, crappy. Boggs should be able to toss a gem against them with his breaking ball and a decent changeup for Dunn.
Future Redbirds - tracking Cardinal prospects for Cardinal Nation
I don't know what to think
I’ve got a feeling that Cabrera’s going to pitch a good game. I’ve got the ’08 Cardinals feeling tonight.

What I didn't like reading today
was that the last time the Cardinals got off to a 15-7 start was 2006.
I mean, sure, we won the series that year, but the team was hard to watch for a good part of the season.
That is the exact opposite way I read it
I said “hell yeah, we won the series that year!”

seems like only two days ago
i was watching tyler greene play shortstop for memphis in round rock. they grow up so fast.
really, though he had several well hit balls of bud (?) norris and i believe he was hitting just under .300 for the season.
speaking of which, mather was rocking the ball, too. just right at people
even further off topic
if anyone is interested, hawksworth was amazing. 1 run, 2 hits, 80 pitches, 8 innings. quite a nice sight to see
No Gameday mini?
what, is this part of the premium package now?

IF Greene can just hit 260 with some power and steals in extended time in the bigs.
that would be amazing.
i could care less for steals for the most part
260 plus some walks and stellar d would rock
Ryan Zimmerman = the only thing right with the Nationals
that play was sick

I know that we're supposed to love sinkers
but I wouldn’t call anything Boggs throws a “sinker”. He “locates his fastball down in the zone” but it still doesn’t sink much, imo.

I think
it’s the Jason Marquis sinker, which is code for “he throws one pitch, and it’s a fastball.”

Boggs pitched good except for one game against the Red Sox last season.
Welcome to Baseball Heaven.

He was taking one for the team and doing his bullpen session out on the field. Gotta give him some credit for that.
Boggs went 5.1 and gave up 3 runs against boston
you are thinking of a different game I think
"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."

He had a major league fastball last year but he struggles coming out of the pen.

OKC gets an NBA team
but Missouri (with two major markets) still has zero NBA teams. I call shenanigans…..
The Blues and NBA team would kill each other
with only 10k fans at each. The three there are now trade off nicely to each other.
I dunno
hockey and basketball aren’t necessarily going for the exact same demographics….if anything the fact that STL can support three different sports just fine strikes me as a perfectly legit reason to give them a fourth….
I don't think it's a matter of going for the same demographics
It’s a matter of being played at the same time. The die-hard hockey fans will go to Blues games. The die-hard NBA fans will go to the basketball team’s games. It’s the casual fans that will get split, and hurt both franchises.

His hardest hit balls are screamers 10 feet over the infield instead of 30 feet over the fence.

every time he hits it and I think it's out it just doesn't go
hopefully he hits a stretch where everything he hits seems to go out.

Got a break
but runners on the corners, Thursty comin’ up… let’s score one!
Welcome to Baseball Heaven.
it was inevitable
too bad freese never really got a chance, considering that he’s likely the best chance of having consistent offensive output for glaus’ replacement between him, thursty and barden
barden is the better hitter than thurston
but freese is going to be an everyday player, likely a third baseman and he will hit .280 with 20 hrs and 75 rbi. barden is more of a .270 10, 50 guy. this is based entirely on my personal, brief impressions. freese hit the ball well in st louis, but got tough breaks and very few chances. i have hopes for him
what's up with him in left? i thought the nats wanted him at 1b? is it because johnson is actually
healthy?

And it’s not really broken, teams are just dumb.
Not afraid to nitpick
but aren't the MLBPA guys unhappy
seeing unproven kids getting millions when a lot of them aren’t? I thought I remember hearing that they wouldn’t mind a harding slotting system if they get back that slice for vets.
They're philisophically opposed to a salary cap of any sort
And a whole lot of the big leaguers were bonus babies (Major League Contract Kids?) themselves. Ownership might force it but they’re gonna have to give something up too so it’d be pointless. They should just draft/sign/pay the best player and the “broken” system gets fixed instead of letting players manipulate their way to big market teams.

There IS a lefty up....Yadi?
I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.
Boggs pitches have so much movement
if he could control them, he’d be flat out nasty
MyBrute - Where tiny gladiators rule the internets
that's a little harsh for a guy with 2 walks in the game, who has thrown 60ish percent of his
pitches for strikes. not great but i wouldn’t say he has a huge control problem.

I think the movement is the reason why.
A) He’d have to be able to throw based on where it’s going to end up
B) He’s have to predict the movement
RASMUS NICE CATCH
Chuck Norris doesn't need a bat.
he just roundhouse kicks the ball out of the park.
Mitchell Boggs needs a new pair of pants.

i doubt it
otherwise he’d have to change his pants on every deep fly to the OF. and i just don’t think he can carry that much luggage around with him.

I'll be honest
I’m sitting in my boxers nursing a hangover (re-running in my head the most disgusting thing that has ever happened to me) and eating the biggest bowl of chicken fried rice anyone has ever actually made for themselves.
I guess all the ladies need to change their pants now after reading that.
Not afraid to nitpick
from the re-rum
not the chicken eating present moment part

it's 8:45 here on the east coast
and it’s not the time that’s the problem, it’s the 700 comments. it just started getting bogged down for me too.

that would be weird if the threads went up via time zones
everybody would be all over the place. it’d be madness.

Must sting for anyone in Canada who actually watched the Expos
to see them turned into a hyper patriotic team.
No sting
Not every Canadian was an Expos fan, some are Cards fans, although when I lived in Montreal I saw a lot of their games (1979-82) when they had some good teams. Then much later came the Jays, but still a Cards fan!

The team with the best record in baseball is beating the team with the worst record in baseball by one run

Hopefully Boggs can get through the 6th
but I’m not too excited about it.

Chris Duncan..
The more I watch him throw the more I truly think he’s throwin with the wrong arm. He just looks so lost out there.
There are three things in my life which I really love: God, my family, and baseball. The only problem - once baseball season starts, I change the order around a bit. ~Al Gallagher, 1971
what inning is it?
There was Gibson in the Reds' dugout, visibly manhandling about three Reds and tossing them bodily out of the dugout and onto the field...He was the toughest athlete mentally I ever saw, and the greatest competitor. JACK BUCK
