the finest haiku in my writing career
came into my life, independently discovered, when I was ten.

hippopotamus haiku
hippopotamus
1. Skip Schumaker, 2B
2. Colby Rasmus, CF
3. Albert Pujols, 1B
4. Ryan Ludwick, RF
5. Chris Duncan LF
6. Yadier Molina, C
7. Joe Thurston, 3B
8. Adam Wainwright, P
9. Brendan Ryan, SS
I'm ok with that lineup...
Put DeRosa in LF/3B when he comes back.

Let Dunc and Ank fight for spot starts until one proves they are better than the other...
Dick and Dunk, the answer to your pitcher's problems...
Every single time
I see the names Duncan, Ludwick, and Ankiel, my brain envisions them at peak performance. I see last year’s Ludwick, old Chris Duncan, and the good version of Ankiel.
Then I watch the game and am disappointed.

Holliday for Ank or Dunc
Any other deals should not even be considered…. Unless Holliday says he wants traded here and will sign with us for less than market value because of his lessened production, I don’t trade for him anyways.

I'd trade BOTH Ank and Dunc

The Giants have skilled enough hitters to attempt a short swing, “singles are preferred” approach to get Carpenter into a stretch, take advantage of his aggressiveness to score two runs and take everyone else out of their game. Oh yea, Cain isn’t going to challenge Pujols like the gentleman gamer Randy Johnson and the dashing Timmy L. You will see the exact same tactic this evening against Wainwright. How you you defend this if you were the skipper.
The Giants have a "hitting approach?"
developed by a “hitting coach?”
What a concept!

are they playing w/any hustle—GoGo Joe excepted?
What’s the feel at the ballpark? Are they just going through the motions?

i was at he game tonight
Outfield especially seemed energetic. Thurston seemed tense (imagine that). Nothing else really stood out, good or bad, besides Albert Pujols being ridiculous.
If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea... does that mean that one enjoys it?

Pitcher Batting 8th makes sense tonight if
Thurston was batting 9th with everyone else sliding down one spot as Thurston is definately the worst hitter in this line-up! Sorry for bringing up a dead issue related to Pujols in the clean-up spot but it does seem odd that with all the freaking line-ups that we have seen that we have not seen Pujols in the clean-up spot. It is even more odd when you consider how terrible everyone else has done hitting in that spot. Pujols just might be the only guy who could handle the pressure of hitting in that magic spot. I know it will never happen – I’m just bored and upset that I will probably get to watch Thurston do something stupid tonight. I just hope he does not get picked off base tonight – internet might go down.
thurston is the perfect #9
he gets on base and has no power.
Albert should be batting 2nd, not 4th, though.

missed the day thread
didn’t take the time to go through it and see if this was discussed already, but. . .
What do you guys think the effect ison the young pitchers psyche with all of this bringing guys up for a single appearance and then sending them straight back down after that one not so inspiring appearance? These guys are more than likely extremely nervous already making their major league debut, but can you imagine the increase in pressure if they have the impression that if they do not have a lights out performance in that first game that they are going right back down I-55 that night?

i didn't say it was smart, i agree with chuck
but i think now teams would still rather take a chance of giving up only 1 run vs 2 or more until the batters behind him start doing some serious damage
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
and albert would have made it 2 runs
one time out of 10.
Holy cow, albert has a home run in one out of every 9.7 non-IBB PA’s this year. Still was a bad move to walk him, though, and in retrospect might have cost the giants the game (though no one will ask “do you think that cowardly walking pujols in the first inning cost you the game, loser”?)

Ludwick's bat waving
I brought this up in another game day post maybe a week? ago or so. I’m sure others have brought it up too, but-
Ludwick this season after coming back from the DL seemed to have added additional movement to his already wagging bat. Missed the last game or three when he seems to be doing better..does it look like it’s calmed back down to normal? It seems a minor tweak like that could be the thing to fix his swing.
he did look more still last night & so far tonight

ugh duncan
not to knee jerk, as he’s been this bad for approximately 18 months now…. can we PLEASE PLEASE not have him on the major league team??? PLEASE? He was very good for a total of 6 months, after an undistinguished minor league career. I really feel it’s grossly unfair for people to take pot-shots at those who attribute his position on the roster to nepotism – I really cannot see how he can conceivably be justifying a position anywhere NEAR an MLB team without it. He’s basically unproven, has done nothing for two seasons, and is replacement level right now. He’s the Brandon Backe of outfielders.
Because chicks dig the intentional base on balls.
Hopefully the team
doesn’t re-sign him after the year’s over. He’s flat out awful.
Welcome to Baseball Heaven.
he has another year I think?
he also has an option so should be in memphis right now. I’m not that opposed to him being back next year as long as TLR and Duncan are gone – no nepotistic selections then, and I feel he might gain a bit of power after a year from his surgery. He sucks now but he might just be a 1-2 win OF again next year. Honestly, I can’t see him being much more than replacement this year…

i am such a stat geek.
i was in a hotel room and flipping through channels. the new bad news bears was on and i caught the slugger of their team swinging at an intentional ball and popping out. i immediately thought, “see, there’s an object lesson in run expectancy.” then i realized I was just a geek. and i switched the channels.

Duncan has an interesting line
21.2% SO rate and a 12.1% BB rate. 33.3% of all his PAs end without the ball being put into play.
After that dunc AB he is now officially my least favourite Cardinal ever. Except maybe Randy Flores.

He just shouldn’t ever be starting. I’m struggling to think of any value duncan brings if he’s not hitting for any sort of power, at all…

but i agree. i don’t know that he’d be much better than what we have
azru runs a website on st. louis prospects (futureredbirds.net),
so i tend to trust his judgment on how people are doing at memphis, just because he spends more time reviewing film and talking to people on the ground.

Of coarse next year doesn’t help us.

Nobody. But we can trade quite easily for a RH OF bat who can make life a lot easier.

please check the community guidelines.
ell-reasoned criticism is always welcome. some of us will disagree with it and rush to defend the home team, but the community almost always benefits from a critical point of view. however, nobody benefits from infantile ravings; these are not welcome. what are “infantile ravings”? they’re comments or diaries posted in the heat of the moment for no reason except to vent frustration. for example: if La Russa makes a questionable pinch-hitting decision that doesn’t work out, comments such as “FUCK YOU LA RUSSA !!!”
does my post attempt to explain why a given player (or the whole team) sucks? to stick with the rolen example: we all got aggravated watching rolen pop out 36 times in a row, so posts like “rolen-DFA that piece of junk” added nothing at all to the discussion.
why do we need to hear this again and again? if you can’t contribute to the conversation, don’t post.

2) he is not related to any cardinals management (that we know of)
3) he is not a veteran
what is it that has tony playing him so much?

if rasmus had been on second, that wouldn’t have been the end of the inning — i don’t like the double steal idea, though.

sorry, pujols on second.

no, i corrected myself. if pujols had taken second, that wouldn't have been a DP.

then he is on the perfect team. Mediocre career minor leage second basemen play the outifield and third; competent outfielders play second. Wild men on the mound whiff about the outfield and the plate.

He needs to redeem himself for teasing us those first 500 ABs of his career.
and making a living off them.

Dunc whiff on pitch near the inside corner of the parkling lot

Does Waino
go back out if the game’s still tied, or is he done?
I’d say he’s done, but I think he’ll be back out there.
Welcome to Baseball Heaven.

he has a good eyes
just can’t recognize pitches and sometimes spins away from pitches right down the middle because people just pound the outside half of the plate.

can the cards start a drug testing program where they just inject other mediocre players with alberts mojo?
I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
Good eye
That’s a very good take in that situation. Would like to see more of that from all of them. Who cares if you occasionally get called out looking.

He could hit the inside pitches and still reach the outside corner?
