Game 78 Open Thread: Giants at Cardinals

San Francisco Giants at St. Louis Cardinals, Jun 29, 2009 8:15 PM EDT


Lincecum Thompson
7-2, 2.57, 10.6 K/9 2-3, 4.50, 2.8 K/9

This might be the youngest-looking pitching matchup since (Bill Simmons mode engage) Gary Coleman took on Emmanuel Lewis in a lost episode of Battle of the Network Stars.

Lincecum strikes out 3.8 times as many batters as WonderBrad does, which is probably the highest gap between two starters in baseball this year. Meanwhile, the Cardinals will likely be without Colby Rasmus tonight, after he spent some time under general anesthesia. I was going to make a thirteen pitchers joke here, but an unexpected benefit of having Mark DeRosa is that La Russa actually does have five real-live-outfielders on the roster, and is thus immune to mild depth-based ribbing in this situation. He's always a few steps ahead of us.

Rasmus not in the lineup again...

How many times will Lud, Ank, Dunc K combined?

My estimate: 5

Any chance Mort makes that start???

pretty please????

"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."

by Smokin Turkeys on Jun 29, 2009 8:13 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Probably not the next start

But if PK sucks, Lohse returns, and Wellemeyer is beyond horrible. Than possible yes if Mort also does good inbetween

he’s a catcher/third baseman/first baseman who is a cult favorite because he’s such a weird hitter/looking human being. He hit .350 in the minors last year, .345 in a brief cup of coffee in the majors, and now he’s not only doing that but also walking occasionally.

a list of the 103 steroid users. No Pujols and not many Cardinals on the list (remember, 2003 rosters). The list is organized by team, but take it with a grain of salt…since it hasn’t been confirmed. Still, very very very interesting.

Dear Cardinal Nation,

My name is Chris Duncan. I have one baseball skill, and that is the ability to take pitches enough to have what some call “a good eye.” However, this is only true of fastballs, or when I am so badly fooled by a pitch that I nearly fall back onto myself. So I really don’t have that great of an eye but somehow after 4 balls they let me run down to first.

I am not entirely sure why my uncle keeps playing me, but I’m not going to make him stop. Shoot, I’m just thrilled that I consistently find my way out to left field! Being a DH and all, I really am quite afraid of running on what is called the baseball field.

Thank you for your time. Good day.
