I love that the Giants feed show the umps
standing and talking about the lineup card – but in all of that time, never once mention the defensive changes for the Cards.
It's moments like right now when I hate Tony La Russa
I've got one foot on the platform, the other foot on the train
I'm going back to New Orleans, to wear that ball and chain
I usually am
But he just burned Duncan when he could have had Rasmus in there to face a RHP…IN THE FIFTH INNING

I don't understand the utility
in burning two bench players instead of one in the 5th, when yr bench is already short. Agreed on that.
Exactly
And…burning two bench players instead of one, when you’re PH’ing for a position player

one of which was an XBH
You want me to pat him on the back instead? You could blame schu for a misplay, but it was a tough play.
Wasn't his fault
TLR outsmarted himself an put the worst 2B in the game in the game.
The time has come for someone to put his foot down and that foot is me
Just wait until he PH's for Pujols with Ankiel
Then calls for a sac bunt

your right, he only wasted the bench
and ruined the defense
With one move, how is that even possible!
So you get a gain at center
But a major downgrade a second.
And thurston is once again ready to almost kill pujols.
only have GD today
so I can’t tell….
I’m willing to concede that Thurston is better than Schu @ 2B, but not a LOT better, otherwise he’d surely have the starting job by now.
In fact I keep hearing about how shitty Schumaker’s defensive statistics are, yet I frequently read comments in the game threads about excellent plays Schu made in the field.
Just my $.02….
you are on gameday
thus didn’t see the easy play he didn’t make.
Thus don’t have all the information to make a judgement.
skip is outstanding at turning double plays
but he’s pretty limited in range and his glove isn’t great on ground balls.
OTOH, thurston just now (in the 8th) didn’t get to a ground ball at third that barden likely would have gotten to. Grumble.
- "I went at it and didn’t slow down, so it kind of bounced off me." -Lil' Dunc
okay
in order, the st louis cardinals three best center fielders
1. colby rasmus
2. richard ankiel
3. skip schumaker
the move went schu → raz. that is an improvement
doesn't really account for the fact that we had everyone in their natural positions
and now have 2 guys out of position.
how is that more important
than the collective quality of defense
that’d be like arguing against putting raz in left over dunc
the collective quality wen't down
unless you really have faith in skip at second and Thurston at 3rd.
Sometimes they are passable, but you don’t willingly switch into it at the drop of a hat.
i don't have faith in skip
but i have as much faith in thurston as i do in barden at third.
it was just a roll of the dice. upgrade center and downgrade 2b. and it didn’t work out in our favor. at least not yet
if that's really how you feel
this whole situation is made so much better by playing Rasmus over Skip in the first place.
But TLR went with the hot hand over the sensable choice. That is somewhat forgivable, even if it didn’t work out.
He took out a guy who can't hit RH pitching very well
in an extremely high leverage situation, and replaced him with a guy who hits RH pitching much better. Then he swapped the defense around and made the OF better (colby in) and the IF worse (Schu in). I can’t see how everyone can be going apeshit over that. There’s plenty of BS tony does that is TOTALLY indefensible, for people to get upset over what (however you feel about whether it’s right or not) was a pretty defensible move.

totally agree with that
if you show bunt at all, it should be called a swing.
Also, if you step out of the batters box on a bunt, and hit the ball, you should be out.

But if he has a bad year this year
Why would the cards pay to sign an unknown when they’ve got some cheap unknowns in Memphis.
also you are competing with teams who will want to sign him as a CFer
so he holds a higher value to them than for the Cards.
Ryan suddenly OPSing north of .700
if he can just be a consistently average hitter he’ll be an asset to the team…..
heh, with what we've gotten from the MIF in years past since Renteria
that’s pretty true.

Can’t be any worse than what we have going on now.
that one is all him
he got out of the way of a sure HBP. He took a swing at ball 3, which ended up being strike 1. Took a strike, a pitch too late. Then, he got carved up on a pitch inside.

St. Louis Cardinals... defying win expectancy since 2008
by vivaelpujols on May 31, 2009 6:52 PM EDT up reply actions
it's probably a function of the fact
that he’s not very good against either, but 80 points is pretty small for a platoon split. Makes sense, since contact guys are generally better suited to face same-arm pitchers.
Definitely should have taken (another) one for the team there, though the fact he was probably still feeling the first one makes it understandable that he didn’t ;)

but Thurston isn’t a very good player, thus he shouldn’t be batting in that situation. Unfortunately, he is forced to because we have noone else, because we are carryin 13 pitchers, some of whom rarely pitch.

To win ball games, we will need a decent, right handed 3B. Thurston did not extend on that ground ball…he short armed, backhand, and he came up empty. Nobody out now, man on second.

this has been such a frustrating series
could’ve won it 3-0, yet it looks like we’re going down 2-1. All their GBs seem to go for hits, ours found gloves.

Who's the guy who was doing the 2006 NLCS?
He pronounced everyone’s name wrong. Even the ones who I didn’ t think could possibly have their names wrong. From Yadiay Molina to Carlos BelTRAN.

yea but I"m thinking of Jon Miller
I was getting him and Randolph mixed. Millers not as big as i thought but he’s the guy I’m pretty sure.
Miller works for the WWL radio duing the LCS's
and yeah, he has lost some weight the last few years.

jeez luddy
meatball right there and he barely gets that flyball out of the infield. Not sure he’s back to 100% form yet….
Because chicks dig the intentional base on balls.
He's rusty

because he plays for a club that is terrible at managing routine injuries.

Where is Rick on this one
“He played that ball as bad as you can play it”
How about, it’s hard to just catch a towering fly ball today.
Sorry, I’m still bothered by that.
poop

If it makes you feel any better
It’s one of our (Giants’ fans) least favorite postseasons of all time too.
We actually played .500 ball in May
13-13

I know
I was surprised to find that out, although actually I think we went 13-14, because today’s game wasn’t put up on b-r. Still alot better than I expected.

Yadi reminds me of the
2006 Molina (regular season). His bat has really gone silent.
The time has come for someone to put his foot down and that foot is me
