Game 72 Open Thread: Cardinals at Mets

| Pineiro | Hernandez |
| 5-8, 3.76 | 5-1, 4.18 |
Livan Hernandez is having his best season since that mid-career renaissance in Washington and Montreal, which was attributed at the time to a change in arm slot. This year his control is a little better than usual and he's found a strikeout per nine he left in his hotel room in Washington.
Speaking of which, Joel's actually rediscovered the strikeout, too, even as his walk stinginess goes on uninterrupted. Since striking out six and walking six in four April starts he's thrown up a May/June K:BB of 33:5; his seasonal ratio of 3.55 K:BB is good for eighth in the NL, behind a bunch of strikeout pitchers and Dan Haren. He deserves better than 5-8.

"If on-base percentage is so important, then why don't they put it up on the scoreboard?" - Jeff Francouer
I will never understand MLB rights...
Last nite I had my choice of the game on ESPN or FSMW… tonite on FSMW I am currently ‘treated’ to The Best Damn Amazing Catches… FML
do you live in iowa or illinois?
those states seam to always screw Cards fans on a regular basis

I'm sure it has something to do with the Cubs having a nite game...
Or at least that’s what the Cards fan in me wants to think… I think Champaign is a primary market for the Cubs… All will be ok. I found reruns of NHL playoff games.
I would say that Piñeiro and Welley really have traded places, except for one problem
There’s the swap in striking out more and the ERA… but Piñeiro’s FIP is 2.91, so he’s actually outperforming his ERA. That’s just crazy, Pitcher Formerly known as Piñata!
Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "5.7 WAR" years.
I hope Oquendo called him fat or something before the game

i can't answer that
but i had a friend at an old job who was from the PR, and he got really angry if someone thought he was from mexico. i mean you couldn’t even joke about it. don’t know if that’s typical feelings of folks from there, but those were his feelings.

yeah. PR is part of the United States.

But people keep thinking I’m German or Dutch and I enjoy that. Everyone takes themselves too seriously.

Yep, I was gonna say
My girlfriend is Puerto Rican (like I’m “german”). She gets hyper pissed when I refer to her as mexican…it’s awesome.

Jo-el
in the past two years, he’s been worth 3.2 WAR, or ~ $15.5mn. if he pitches no better than replacement level for the rest of this year, then it still would end up being a pretty astute signing by Mo even though it looked like shit at the time.

I have a bad feeling
that Livan will pitch as good as Redding did (for most of the game) last night. We can’t seem to hit guys with high ERAs, and Pinata is becoming less and less reliable (going just 1-8 since starting 4-0)

Ever play wiffle ball?
I couldn’t stand it when my brother would loft up a “riser” at like 10 mph, I couldn’t for the life of me stay back on it. Then again I was 12 and they are professional baseball players, but still.

I could pitch and couldn't hit
Would go over the top slider/disgustingScrewball combo and drop down for sinker/riser and toss in a knuckler for good measure.
But god damn I was a sucker for a sinker that landed before I could reach it.

The weather sucks 90% of the year, the nightlife is pretty bad outside of a few cool spots on Washington Avenue, there is NO music scene to speak of, it just sucks.

Maybe we’re into different kinds of nightlife. I’m a craft beer drinker, like live music but I’m not an indie kid or scenester, and find St. Louis to be very enjoyable.
The massive number of spectacular microbreweries helps, along with good drinking places like 33, Mattingly, The Royale, etc.

Literally one minute ago a cop came up to our house to ask if I’d seen anyone in the alley in the last hour. Apparently one of my alley neighbors just had his mower and trimmer stolen from his garage.
Yadi had been barking his stupid head off a bit ago, but I had him come in from the back cause I figured it was just a squirrel or something stupid.
Good to know the cops show up, though.

The burbs in St. Louis = the burbs anywhere else.

I don't really agree with this.
St. Louis City is tiny, but the County is HUGE. In my opinion there’s a really big difference between the inner StL suburbs and the western suburbs. UCity just feels different than Creve Coeur. The burbs aren’t all the same – some feel less burby than others.
But that’s just my opinion – I’m a UCity girl.

Absolutely true
In a reasonable universe where the city could expand, U-City, Maplewood, etc. would all be part of St. Louis city.
Inner ring suburbs are fine in my book. Outer ring suburbs (which I think most people call “the burbs,” are turdtastic.

what, exactly, is your point?
right now he’s hitting. maybe it will continue, maybe not.
the truth can't hurt you, it's just like the dark/ it scares you witless, but in time you see things clear and stark -- macmanus
im not gonna rush judgement either way...just a question
he hit well for one season id would call it hitting.see. R.ankiel, N. Stav, etc
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
He hit well
his first series back (not counting the one PH against Detroit) and he got a solid single last night. K Greene looks way better than our other options at 3B right now.

THOU SHALT NOT RUN ON YADDA!!!!
It kind of sounds like he’s [Duncan] just running around like a puppy out there – full speed ahead in random directions. – BTown Birds Fan
YADI shows no mercy
Chuck Norris doesn't need a bat.
he just roundhouse kicks the ball out of the park.
Leadoff Walks Suck!
If your gonna give the leadoff hitter a free base at least drill him in the thigh so he can’t get a good break on a hit or a steal.
"Rasmus doesn't hit lefties. Instead he bashes them over the head with their own bleeding arm he just raced to the mound to rip off before the ball arrives to the plate. He then smashes that baseball with the pitchers bloody arm over the wall because he does not hit lefites he bashes them." Ted Lilly
nice.
molina totally tricked the batter and threw out the runner.

Yadi is over rated.
Is what I would say if he wasn’t so damn good.

i just need about 2 more runs to feel comfortable.
even though Joel is only at 61, b/c of the delay Franklin will probably be in the 9th. Even with his great start to the season, that is not something quite at ease with yet.
61 through 6
suckage continues
