"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."

Just got home...
I got the sense from following on my phone that Carp wasn’t exactly getting hit hard until the double in the 3-run inning. Am I right or is that just my bias talking?
V, b.
I should rephrase...
how many of the hits in that inning besides the double were hit hard? I know he didn’t get hit up until that inning…
V, b.
Basically blame it all on a botched double play ball and Ludwick not having range in RF.

for once no, Carp knocked the ball down instead of letting it go

It WAS true!
Please, Tony. Keep sending Colby the message that he’s not good enough. Better yet, send it through a player who has been worse than Colby has been over the last several games. That will knock him down a notch or five.
She isn't crazy, she's just not impressed.
ATT
(according to Tony) Duncan pinch hit for Motte and Colby was in the 8 spot.
"I usually don’t read other peoples sigs." -Cuttah
The box score
which I do believe is the official record of what happened in the game says clearly that Duncan pinch hit for Rasmus. That would mean Tony made a mistake on the line up card then. Either way, I don’t like it, and I don’t see it as a good baseball move. I just don’t.
She isn't crazy, she's just not impressed.
think everyone agrees, there
either TLR made a stupid managerial decision, and then messed up the lineup card, or TLR just made a stupid managerial decision. Dunno why he thinks the former is an excuse.
- "I went at it and didn’t slow down, so it kind of bounced off me." -Lil' Dunc
this box score disagrees.
But, yeah, Colby should have been in the 2 hole there. Like for the entire game.

Have your IT people look into that.

Tough when your bench is situated such that after T. Greene was gone, the only RH PH available is LaRue.
Dick & Dunk need to go
Luddy needs to sit on the bench or go to Memphis(if he can) till he gets his swing figured out. Tony needs to stop fucking with Colby. thusty needs to go away, Kbot needs to keep working. gawd there are so many freaking holes on the club right now i don’t know if there’s enough wood in the world to stop the ship from taking on water.
one thing that hasn’t changed is it’s up to MO to try & fix things. Make the madness stop if you can MO.

i bet a million internet dollars Craig & Jay can do a better job than Dick & Dunk right now
but, if you all had read everything i wrote, i really, honestly do not have all the answers. i’m not MO, i don’t have any inside knowledge on what he’s thinking or trying to do or not do. i just know the Cards can no longer afford to run those two out there & expect anything different than what they have been getting. flashes of brilliance followed by weeks & weeks of massive suckatude. toss in tony still giving playing time to thursty despite his gawd awful play, KBot trying to find his stroke, Boog & T.Greene providing almost no power, Colby being rook & having his ups & downs, Luddy looking like he’s lost his magic from 07&08, and we are all having a very, very frustrating season.
outside of Albert of course. he’s rifreakingdiculous.
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

actually, Luddy looks exactly like he did
during his first month up in 2007, and that big slump about halfway through the year last year. He’ll be fine. Probably not “.950 OPS fine”, but he’ll start hitting line drives again soon.
Ankiel is less likely to be fine, and Duncan is almost certainly toast, at this point.

Wow
You’ve been one of Duncan’s staunchest defenders on this site, and you’re always very well-informed and your points are very well-researched. When you say
Duncan is almost certainly toast, at this point.
I don’t take it lightly, and neither should anyone else reading this post.

well, david ortiz looked like toast too
it’s really easy to come to that conclusion too quickly, but we’ve given Duncan 2 years to get better and he hasn’t done it.
The thing is, he has a option, so Mo needs to use it and let him play every day to try to prove he still has value.

i wish i could remember back that far
but i can’t. 07 is a blur for me. i just remember Luddy not playing a lot early, but when he did, he always seamed to produced big hits & RBI’s. he hasn’t looked right since the spring, and i still think it goes back to what he said then. he worked out too much over the winter & gained too much muscle mass & it’s f’ed with his swing.
you could tell all day he was late on the fast ball, and he’s been late on the fastball all season. his timing is all wrong. if that’s due to the bigger muscles or something else, i don’t think we’ll know anytime soon.
i agree on Dick, but not so much on Dunk. dude needs time to fully recover from his surgery. i have more faith in his power returning than i do in Dick ever being anything but maddeningly inconsistent.

oh, yeah
luddy’s first month in the big leagues in 2007: .224/.255/.265 (.520 OPS)
51 PA, 0 HR, 14 K, 1 BB
Luddy in June, 2008: .228 /.298/.406 (.704 OPS)
114 PA, 3 HR, 24 K, 9 BB
Since returning from the DL, .182 /.264/.299 (.563 OPS)
87 PA, 3 HR, 18 K, 8 BB

brian barton.
sure, he’s not great, but I’d rather have him than nick stavinoha as our RH fifth OF. of course, he’s no longer an option.

Albert has nearly twice as many
RBI’s as the next Cardinal on the list. Unreal.

What could have been if Joe Mather were healthy
I’ve irrationally come to the conclusion that he would have pulled a Ludwick this year. Rats
If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea... does that mean that one enjoys it?
To set the record straight, via goold tweets
dgooldTo be clear: Rasmus was batting in the eighth spot; the four pitchers in the 8th were in the No. 1 spot. Duncan pinch hit for Motte, per TLR
Also: Michael Jackson died.

i don’t think it’s fair to blame him for Ed McMahon, though.

its bad that as good as carp has been
he only has 5 wins…they need some O desperately…at least in 06 guys were hurt..
i think that guys have just come back down to earth…
a pitcher roamingn the OF is batting like well a pitcher
a jpurneyman in the OF is hitting like a guy who struggled to make the bigs, plus not sure hes been 100% at all this yr..
then you just have stop gaps everywhere else, and vets who take ABs from the one guy not named Hombre whose it #28..
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
I think a big part of the problem....
is the hitting approach. Every since end the of April, no one was walked, hardly (except Pujols). You don’t walk, you don’t score runs.
Preachin' to the crowd, my friend

Isn't preaching to the crowd the general idea behind preaching?
"It starts at the top with the manager."

I believe the expression
he was going for, is preaching to the choir.

Yes. Preaching to the choir. Fuck.
