Game 55 Open Thread: Rockies at Cardinals

PrintColorado Rockies at St. Louis Cardinals, Jun 5, 2009 8:15 PM EDT
 |
 |
| De La Rosa | Wainwright |
| 0-6, 5.43 | 5-3, 3.38 |
Jorge De La Rosa is one of the toughest-lucked pitchers in baseball thus far. He strikes out a batter an inning, he allows just four home runs despite playing in the house that Bichette Happens built—overall he has a FIP of 3.64—and for his trouble he's got a 5.43 ERA and zero wins. Also, he plays for the Rockies.
Meanwhile, Renovated Wainwright has an ERA of 2.05. I'm thinking about asking Chris Carpenter for some life advice.

Rasmus
is batting a whole .132 with a .250 OBP against leftys.
De La Rosa’s kills lefties.
Tony tries to put rookies in position to succeed.
And Rasmus will never learn to hit lefties at the major league level.
And here comes the infamous Ankiel K.

Rick is slipping him some money under the table to let him play

Thurston
So I was telling my husband that Thurston is expected to leave the club any day now, per the official website, for the birth of his child. My husband thinks he’s crazy to leave in the middle of the season; Thurston is commiting career suicide; there must be some potential complications with the birth causing Thurston to leave; ball players NEVER leave in the season for the birth of a child, etc. I agree that players don’t usually do this, but do people think he’ll really lose that roster spot? And…I think it is nice and progressive of him to take some time to be with the wife when she gives birth to HIS child. Anyone have insights into this?

i can’t imagine anyone, in any line of work, punishing somebody to see their kid be born.

it’s not that big of a deal, though I’m sure the teamis giving him shit for not knocking his wife up between Feb and March last year.

"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."

Pujols had a nice defensive play in the 2nd
and a homer in the 6th. Other than that it’s been a shitty game.
Drink bleach
instead of watching this, if you have a choice.

Why do I keep believing in this team?
I’m so pumped that we’ve already lost a game to the fucking Rockies, with the holy trinity of Thompson, Pineiro, and Wellemeyer going the next 3 days. Nothing like praying for a split against a last place team at home.

But it's a repeat of the last 2 years...
Good enough to hang in for 4 or 5 months before the inevitable collapse. That’s exactly where we’re headed again, but I keep convincing myself otherwise. There is nothing to get excited about this team right now other than Carp and Albert and Colby.

Thinsg that piss me off
1. Playing Ankiel over Rasmus
2. Pulling Wainright for Reyes in the 7th?
3. Going 0 FOR SEVEN with RISP.
This team is not a first place team! Mo, this thing is going to fall around you soon unless we get a bat.
They x-rayed my head and didn't find anything.

I dunno why Wainer even came out to start the inning with a pitch count of almost 110
Reyes (and Motte) sucked, but someone needed to come in.

really, i can handle a bullpen collapse every once in a while
but another on run game against a fucking awful pitcher is just unforgivable. the cardinals entering tonight’s game in first place is an embarrassment to the nl central and major league baseball
by prophetjohn on Jun 5, 2009 10:37 PM EDT reply actions 1 recs
it's the run support for the starters
they’ve got to feel like they’ve gotta go out there and throw nothing but zeros every inning just to give this minor league lineup a chance.
Nine runs
in one inning? Isn’t that like a week’s worht of runs for the Cardinals’ high powered offense?
The time has come for someone to put his foot down and that foot is me
If I see the serious commercial I may kill someone...
I say they stop running it until the Cardinals prove the can handle the responsibility of having a promotion based on high scoring games.
Moderators
Do you think 950 posts are enough to justify an overflow thread. Cripes.
