| Wellemeyer | Wandy |
| 7-7, 5.56 | 9-6, 2.81 |
Wandy Rodriguez has one of the weirdest career paths in baseball; he's striking out batters more frequently now than he did as a 22 year-old in the Appalachian League, pitching to high schoolers. His K/9 is three higher now, at 30, than it was at 26, when he showed no particular propensity for the strikeout. His DIPS profile, as of right now, resembles a left-handed Adam Wainwright.
Here are Todd Wellemeyer's last four game scores: 27, 35, 61, 31. That comeback start involved a very simple game plan: throw fastballs until there are two strikes, then throw sliders. His inability to follow that up with another game's worth is one of the most frustrating parts of his year, which has involved mostly frustrating parts.
To paraphrase my favorite eighties teen movie: Todd, throw that way really fast. If something gets in your way, turn.

to express how fucking excited I am that The Mars Volta is coming to The Pageant on September 8th.
Oh, and fuck Houston and their lame ass ballpark.

Yea, i've wanted to see them live, but never have had a chance
I did get to see At The Drive In live a few times though, and those were always incredible shows.
I've been planning on downloading a Mars Volta album
anyone recommend starting with something other than The Bedlam in Goliath?

So, last night sucked.
But hey, it’s a meaningful game between the Cards and Astros in late July. I would not have expected this two months ago. I feel like I owe someone money for the privilege. Needless to say, I’ll take it.

A glimmer of hope for The Colonel and Cardinal Nation...
Wellemeyer is 0-1 with a 1.42 ERA in three starts versus the Astros.
Unfortunately though, he’s a flyball pitcher in a park where pop flies to left turn into homers.
Aww man, does Wellemeyer really have to pitch tonight?
Can’t Tony go five blades and give Ankiel the start?

But they are facing Joe Blanton. I’m not sure you know this, since he shut the cards down last time, but he’s terrible.

Some pre-game facts...
Skip has the 5th best AVG (.305) and 6th best OBP (.362) of all Major-League 2B.
Good news.
But I don’t think most of us are concerned about Skippy’s offense.

Flip Glaus and Shoe?
Why not flip Glaus and Shoe when Glaus comes back?
Shoe at 3B and Glaus at 2B? Glaus doesn’t have the arm strength to play 3B but could probably play 2B. Glaus is also an old Mi, from what I hear. Shoe has the arm (and maybe the glove) for 3B.
Thoughts?
You still need a good arm to play 2B
From what I understand, he can’t even throw 60 feet. The would make him have to play very shallow and be unable to have much range.
by cloistermaximus on Jul 21, 2009 8:02 PM EDT up reply actions
Belliard
Belliard was a bigger guy and he compensated by playing deep, but I gather that wouldn’t work for Glaus.
Of course you just scared the crap out of me when it comes to Glaus in LF.
It might work
if he had four plus months to try (let alone Skip trying to learn third). Glaus in left is a big enough experiment for now.

Glaus is way too big of a dude to play 2B.
He isn’t fleet of foot and wouldn’t be able to turn a DP. Think of how many plays Skip has been able to make at 2B because of his quickness and arm strength.
by Ghostrider520 on Jul 21, 2009 8:02 PM EDT up reply actions
but just think of all the runners who would crap their pants
instead of trying to take out Glaus on a double play
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
I dont know if glaus has the speed needed to cover the ground for a 2b
plus, that just means albert would have to field more ground balls. scary.

OT: out then safe
I was apprised at work today of the very bad call at home plate at the end of that Twins game last night. (I was told it was a blatantly missed call).
Sure enough I saw it when I got home on the blow out of proportion sports reports on TV. I confess when I saw it the first time, live speed, I thought the runner was out. Replay and slo-mo showed he was safe, and pretty clearly too if you were a Twinkie fan.
My point is I thought he was out the first time too… I feel bad for the ump.
If you have to slow it down or watch a replay...
to see whether someone was out or safe, you have to cut the ump some slack.
If you can’t tell at normal speed, you have to expect them to miss a handful of 50/50 calls.

by Ghostrider520 on Jul 21, 2009 8:08 PM EDT up reply actions
I Don't Think He's Injured
He’s just not a great hitter approach-wise and pitchers have figured him out.
I have seen clips from several years ago of Suppan toying with Duncan low and away and Duncan complying.
That also puts to rest the idea that Duncan is pressing.
WRONG!!!
On the FSN pregame, Hal McRae was asked about Ank and Dunc. According to Hal, well, Duncan is “just pressing.”
So there’s that.
Hal couldn't teach how to hit out of a wet paper bag
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
It was a pretty funny "interview" too.
You know how everyone kind of always agrees that the hitting coach doesn’t really “do” anything? Well, that much was evident during the interview.
haha yet tony claimed duncan was still not healthy
why can’t this organization properly handle and treat injuries?
On the same pregame I just pointed out above
They were talking about how TLR was “visibly” upset and really vocal/outspoken about how he’s so disappointed that “some Cardinal fans are being hard on Duncan” when he’s out there playing hurt.
So the team is really talking out of both sides of its mouth on this one.
And shit, Welley just gave up a HR. Goddamit!

I don’t care what the front office or coaching staff says, any one of Boggs/Hawksworth/Mortensen would be better than continuing to run Wellemeyer out there every five games. They can’t be worse than one of the worst pitchers in baseball. Let them get at chance to develop and adjust to the majors. Welley has no future here, and they might.
seriously
Welle needs to be a middle relief guy, where he can throw heat for one ininnings and that’s that
This franklin is good.

It did
But it didn’t short-hop him, and he was able to get the tag down quickly. It was even to the correct side of the bag. There’s nothing wrong with skipping one to second as long as you don’t short-hop the fielder at second (and the grass isn’t super-long).
I agree, it was close
and Boog did a pretty good job picking it. The ball bouncing and how close it was could have been the difference is what Im saying.

I think it was probably for DeRo's nonproductive out

So if you weren't gonna PH for Welley there

I realize TLR could double-switch and junk, but that was a prime opportunity to use a PH in a big spot. We don’t have any good RH guys on the bench right now (other than Yadi), so when TLR does his dumb doubleswitch, he’ll be bringing in Ank, Dunc, or Thurston to face Wandy.

You all need to calm down. Welley is doing well with his pitch count and has only given up 3 runs.
We have to score more than 1 run or 2 runs to when a game.
If he gives up a 4th run then yank him but until then the offense needs to get going.

there is so much dead weight on this team & the FO refuses to do anything about it
the manager calls out the fans because we are sick & tired of his shit. and the FO does nothing about it

nice catch Stav
that wasn’t easy
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
That sequence was classic Wellemeyer...
0-2 on the pitcher, and he lets him hang in and hang in until he nearly drives in a run. Quality stuff…
V, b.
this is the inconsistency that has plagued his whole career
and why he has been dfa’s by his previous employers

"Albert hits good pitches hard and bad pitches even harder. And when he gets in the batter's box, if you pray, then you start praying. And if you don't pray, you think about starting."--Brian Bannister
Did the offense go comatose again?
"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

I can't believe i gave up a homerun to that punch and judy hitter-major league 2
Hey Tony...
You forfeit any right to be “disappointed” in the offense, when you put Stav in the #2 spot
I know you’ve won a bazillion games and are thus beyond criticism by a meager mortal, but if you can’t figure out how putting a guy that doesn’t get on base right in front of your best hitter…ugh
or when you
bitch about the fans being hard on Duncan because “he’s hurt and he’s giving it his all” when Dunc insists he is not at all hurt.
and throw B. Ryan under the bus while doing so
that was pathetic on TLR’s part, not on the part of us fans.
not his finest season…
and i quote
“Maybe it had something to do with the fact that Valverde [has a huge split],” La Russa said. "And did Ryan have a particularly good day? How can people ask? What’s the question there? A guy who could hit a two-run homer versus Brendan doing what? Looking futile again? Did anybody watch Brendan’s at-bats?
“Chris is a … whipping boy. I’m so tired of the unfairness with Chris Duncan, it makes me want to vomit. You can tell anybody … that he’s getting treated unfairly. It makes me want to vomit. That’s why I get upset as soon as he gets mentioned.”
wow...
just wow.
I am pretty sick of TLR and have been for a few years. When fans want the media to ask tough questions and hold his feet to the fire, TLR apologists will say “Why would he throw _ under the bus?”
Yet when it suits his agenda, he’s more than happy to throw a player (Ryan here) or an entire piece of the team under the bus.
That is just dumb. Please go away and take your tons and tons of wins (and losses) and head-scratching decisions with you.
Now, who’s gonna be the first to ask me if I’ve read “Three Nights in August?”
yeah let's all remember this one for when someone tells us he's
“just defending his players.” Seems like he only defends certain players
Full quote, even worse:
“Maybe it had something to do with the fact that Valverde, [lefties are] hitting .300 versus .140 [for righties]. And did Ryan have a particularly good day? How can people ask? What’s the question there? A guy who could hit a two-run homer versus Brendan doing what? Looking futile again?
“Did anybody watch Brendan’s at-bats?
“Chris is a … whipping boy. I’m so tired of the unfairness with Chris Duncan, it makes me want to vomit. You can tell anybody … that he’s getting treated unfairly. It makes me want to vomit. That’s why I get upset as soon as he gets mentioned.
“They’ve got a great reputation in our town, but it’s not a perfect reputation.
“It’s a pretty clear difference [for Valverde between right- and left-handed hitters]. Plus Chris, even when he struggles, he’s one of our better pinch-hitters.
“This guy is treated unfairly. For fans that have the reputation that they have, that they deserve, they do have a couple quirks that are not fair. And he’s one of them.
“What’s so ridiculous is, if you watch Brendan, Brendan had no chance yesterday for some reason. So he’s going to do better in that at-bat? That’s ridiculous if you think about it. I think it’s ridiculous. And it has to do with the guy that pinch-hit. It’s really a black eye for some of our fans that are not objective about him for whatever reason. I’m not sure what it is. I can’t figure it out.”

Get the fuck outta here, TLR. WE’re not objective in this particular circumstance. Riiiiiiiiight.
yup even worse
when i read it earlier i thought this might be the most asinine thing Tony’s ever said AND he’s killing his starting ss to defend duncan. brutally ignorant
or why he lets raz get hot only to move him around

haha same here. i also wish it was not raining
this was a perfect game to avoid. in fact, on that note, i’m out. there’s gotta be something better to do than watch this.
at least we get Carp tomorrow
Can someone name one...
speedy, light-hitting, black outfielder that doesn’t own the Cardinals?

Daryl Jones or Matt Holliday?

holliday is black, speedy and light-hitting

Whoops. I guess that would be rewarding good behavior. How about hang the referee?

So 4 out of 5 starters are good. We have holes at 3B and LF which we all know.
Derosa is a pimp and will play through the pain and fix the 3B problem. Maybe Glaus can fix LF? If not we need Holliday or Dunn.
Or we can just wait for the fix it fairy to make Duncan or Ankiel play better.

so let me get this straight
bourn bunted his way on after larue threw it into right field. then he thinks he can pick him off with no avail. and then welley decides to be cute and try and pick him off and throws it into foul territory. bourn to third on what should have been an out.
terrible, terrible, terrible baseball.

Don't worry, guys
Welle’s next start (hoping he doesn’t get one but whatever) will just be against the Phillies, so i’m sure it’ll be just GREAT for his confidence.
From the Twitters, regarding Wellemeyers spot:
azruavatarRT: @JoeStrauss: Cardinals could do Halladay w’out dealing Rasmus. “The question is whether they’re willing to do it.” Descalso a commodity.
"I usually don’t read other peoples sigs." -Cuttah
i'd trade descalso
they want wallace, though

as a centerpiece for halladay?
aaaaahahahahaha
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
no no no
instead of descalso. walrus is still the centerpiece isn’t he?

no
no trade walrus
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
therer's no way we can't get him unless he's involved
i want to keep him too, but there’s no way the jays will do the deal unless he’s part of it

works for me
no trade walrus
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
i love wallace's bat as much as the next guy
but we still have no real inclination where he’ll stick defensively. To me, a move like this is why a team w/ Albert at 1b drafts pure hitter like Wallace
I think it's the exact reason we drafted him....
best bat in the draft…don’t know where we’re gonna play him, but you have to draft the best talent
or something to that effect IIRC
going for holliday

well that settles it
i’m unabashedly rooting for Welle to shit the bed vs Phil (if he starts) just to show them how bad he is one last time.
I’d spring for Halladay if Colby isn’t involved. I have no trouble trading Descalso for a guy as good as Doc
yea
as much as a love descalso, i’m scared he is playing above his ability this season…like hoffpauir did in ’07

nvm
that was only once he got called up to AA
not awful before that, though when he was 20 or 21
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
yup i just think the odds of him being a truly special player are low
for good or ill, we are committed to skip at 2b for the foreseable future. we all know how good Doc is
what happened to them wanting kozma?
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
even better
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
they want at least 4 players...
… think wallace, kozma, descalso, and at least one of Jones/Mort/Boggs/Garcia.
at least, that’s what they’ll ask for.
that
is fucking outrageous
no way they get half that much vaue
the cars top 4 prospects? no way
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
they don't have to trade him...
… at least not at the deadline. they’ll hold out for something massive.
right
i don’t think he gets traded
if he does, it’s to the phillies
Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
that is crazy and i want Halladay bad
but they can have 2 of the above and then a less prospect, not 4 of those listed!!
so was this the second game?
if MO is true to his word, is welly done?
