Game 46 Open Thread: Cardinals at Brewers

St. Louis Cardinals at Milwaukee Brewers, May 26, 2009 8:05 PM EDT


Wainwright Suppan
4-2, 3.41 3-3, 4.71

Fool them once, shame on Suppan. Fool them twice, I will be convinced that Chris Carpenter has tutored both starters on recapturing their old form, in some pitcher-centric variation on The Most Dangerous Game that ends with him out-dueling them both on a far-flung Pacific island. 

Robo-flow thread, say, an hour and a half from now. Go Cardinals.

think this is the perfect spot to use him against a pitcher he has had success with

I think I live everything about the lineup

except Thurston over Barden….Duncan ain’t been doing jack in the 4 hole, not that Molina has either but Molina tends to be good w/ RISP. Pujols protecting Duncan sounds better than Duncan “protecting” Pujols….

Hopefully between Rasmus, Greene, and Stav somebody can figure Soup out tonight…..in fact I’d like to see them score in the top of the 1st to set the tone for the rest of the series….while I’m at it perhaps I can get a pony unicorn too….

I dont know

why TLR has a man love for Thursty, his defense isn’t anything, his Bat isnt special, The only thing he has going for him is grit and speed

He hits from the left side... that's about it, IMO.

part of it is

that Barden hasn’t exactly been tearing it up either. I think he’s got a better bat and he sure as hell fields the position better (and actually has the arm to play 3rd) but there you go. I suspect if Barden was getting starts consistently over Thurston that Slur It’s bat would be more consistent as well.

this is a cool lineup

the Thursty/Barden thing is about the only point of contention, i think

Our best 5 hitters are batting 1-5 and Pujols should have some guys on base for him when he bats.

When C-Dunc's going good,

he lays off the slop on the outside corner… the idea being if you try to go the other way, you keep your head on the ball longer.

According to MLB...
Pujols’ total of 842,058 votes is about 167,000 more than anyone else has yet tallied in the league, and is nearly double the number recorded by the first-base runner-up, Milwaukee’s Cecil Fielder (427,284).

Pujols is so good…his popularity transcends time itself. (Sorry if this was covered in an earlier thread. I’m just getting off work.)

Shawan Dunston had a better arm than Dwight Gooden, Rick Ankiel and Colby Rasmus supposedly thew in the low to mid 90’s when they were in high school, and Motte came up as a catcher, and only lately was it decided he could pitch. by some sort of transient logic, Stav should have a better arm than Mike Piazza.

Sigh...

Although it produced good results this time, I’m getting sick of him swinging at the fences constantly.

Yeah, it’s produced 4 home runs this month. But at the expense of probably 9-10 walks.

I was really expecting him to be a Ray Lankford sort of player, not Dave Kingman

the pitching will regress a little bit

we’re not going to get 7 IP/1 R out of all five starters every time out….but we’ve got a very solid 1-4 and our bullpen’s been a strength so far.

It’s when the offense regresses back to anything resembling average (LIKE TONIGHT) that we’re gonna look hella tough….

the quick hook is a little goofy although Soup looked really ugly pitching to Thurston and especially to Skip….I think the Wainwright homer got to him, which is funny cause Soup is usually so laid back and relaxed.
