Game 72 Overflow

Just finished some really awesome sushi.  Robots are big sushi eaters if you didn't know.

Between Joel Pineiro and Ryan Franklin this season, I feel like Albert when he whiffed at my fastball Livian's fastball.

All you can do is chuckle and enjoy it.  Groundballs for EVERYONE!!!*

I've been out of town the last few days but

how does the team have ‘no need for Glaus if he can’t play 3rd’?

I can think of atleast 3 games over the last 2 weeks that we needed a power bat option off the bench.

by Hardcore Legend on Jun 23, 2009 9:34 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I would say

because why would you pay a PH that much when you could deal him to a team that needs a 1B/DH for a halfway decent prospect?

Albert Pujols is ridiculous.

by stlhulsey on Jun 23, 2009 9:36 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

you can do that?

I didn’t know there was a market for rentals that may or may not be healthy enough to play.

by TheBirds on Jun 23, 2009 9:37 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

If he can hit

he can replace Ankiel anytime after the 3rd inning.

One less Ankiel at-bat a game is ok by me.

by Hardcore Legend on Jun 23, 2009 9:38 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

they're saying he is ok swinging the bat

but can’t throw from 3rd to 1st right now. That’s why there’s talk of him becoming a 1B/DH option.

Albert Pujols is ridiculous.

how are they even gonan see if he can hit

where do they play him to try and deal him..since he cant throw it is a bit of a problem

I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2

by punchinjudy on Jun 23, 2009 9:38 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

pinch hit

Why can’t he pinch hit late in games? It’s not like we don’t have enough hybrid OF/MIF’ers on the team to fill in afterwards.

In blow outs, he can play 1B for Albert.

by Hardcore Legend on Jun 23, 2009 9:39 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

true

if he’ll do it, it takes a special guy to a have the mentality to PH, and B take that as his role on the team

Piniero reminds me of a sinkerball version of Wakefield.

If he can go 15-15 with a 4 ERA then I would be very happy with him as a number 4 starter.

"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

Albert

Maybe the reason he takes the throw on the dugout side is to avoid getting spiked as the runner crosses the bag. Hasn’t he had a couple incidents like that. Perhaps he prefers the risk.

Just win

it was called from the bench. For two reasons:
1) So that Ryan Franklin can still pick up the save.
2) So that even though we look like the Cubs, we will still beat the Mets…only further demoralizing them.

Nats/BoSox is still on. It started at 6:30. Our game started at 7:10, and had a rain delay. Damn the Cards make for quick games sometimes.

Never, ever would have guessed Piniero would have two complete game shutouts this year.

Oquendo should be our next pitching coach.

I watched the Braves tonight on TV. Hanson has some wicked stuff. Everything he throws has a snap and bite to it that is quite nasty.

How is Tony responsible for players choices? Maybe he should have fungoed their heads in that is why he is scum huh?

This will become a forgettable performance

when Pineiro is giving up 12 hits in his next appearance. I’ll be saying to myself “Why the JF$#($#3 is this guy still in the rotation? When was the last time he even one a game!”

Because, that’s who Joel Pineiro is. He’s a guy that occasionally has a game like this to ‘balance’ things out just enough for you to say “How does Pineiro have a 2.91 FIP?”

And God Bless Him for it.
