i hate the astroholes
And I would like Todalion to go on the “DL” for a few weeks. Or switch to a four man rotation. Or get some guys that can hit besides Albert, Colby and Ludwick. ( And sometimes Yadi and I guess derosa, now)
I want to be the no-talent ass clown!

Wellemeyer
What a player. We are so fortunate to have snatched him from the junk heap and rehabilitated him with that Duncan magic.
The time has come for someone to put his foot down and that foot is me
Why Mo Why?
Must we watch Smellemeyer implode, start after start after start after start

Wellemeyer, now go ahead actually hit him with this next pitch for good measure.

Help me with this
Who of Duncan’s rehab projects has been good for more than a season or two? Marquis – nope. Weaver – nope. Williams – maybe but he was pretty average. Carp – he was already good just hurt. Who? Maybe the guy is great with short term turnarounds but it wears off. Wellemeyer is the latest.

fuck him
and the retarded horse he rode in on. theres no way that boggs could be worse than wellemeyer right now. and even if he is, atleast theres youth to blame it on.
They turned the game off when they realized that the real Wellemeyer showed up

"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
on the plus side...
… we’ve got Carp, Waino, Piniero, Lohse going in the next four. on the down side, we’re facing Oswalt, Zimmerman, Happ, and Lopez. 2 of those are really tough, 1 of them is pretty tough and sometimes unhittable, and the other has weird flashes of brilliance.
PJ = Experimenting
PJ is a different pitcher every time I see him.
Last time I saw him throw 1 FB and then 7 “change-ups” in a row.
Now it’s slider, slider, slider. Also his arm slot is a bit lower tonight.
He always stops using the CH after a few games in the majors
Its as if his pitching coach doesn’t want him to use it or something.
Enough

He's saying that F is "offensive"
Because everyone knows what you’re actually saying, you just are basically saying-but-not-saying it.
The reader just reads it and thinks “oh, that means fuck,” and in the end it’s really the same as cursing.
Except I actually say F. Unless I’m referring to the Indians bullpen. Then I use the real thing.

I get what you’re saying about all the expletives. However, your point about the “rational” discourse is unlikely. I mean, it’s not like you need to check Baseball Reference or Fangraphs and then create a table before expressing your displeasure with TLR leaving Welley in in the midst of our best scoring opportunity of the night.
actually
wellenmeyer really is as bad as the comments make it sound like….and the offense does suck most nights…so yea, what we are saying is actually fact

O and kick Wellemeyer off of this good damn team. What the hell has to happen to not let his worthless right arm throw the ball every 5th day? I don’t care if Mitchell Boggs can’t get out of the 1st effing inning — if I don’t see someone else in 5 days on the mound I’m going to fucking lose it.

Todd Wellemeyer literally has to fucking die to not pitch anymore. There is no logical reason to keep him around anymore. I don’t want to hear the excuse “OH THERE’S NO ONE BETTER AT AAA…” because quite frankly it’s tired and drives me nuts. Are you telling me that Walters or Boggs couldn’t do just as well, and maybe better? I mean, the standards are pretty fucking low here!

Not that it probably would’ve mattered, given the bench options, but it still gives the impression that TLR has no rhyme or reason for his actions.

This may be the worst game of the year...
I’m sure I’m overlooking like 15 games that were worse, but in this moment, this one is the worst.
V, b.
this one is frustrating as all hell
Coming out of the hype of the Break with a little momentum and we look flat….again. We put up a tiny handful of runs in winning 2 of 3 from ARZ and now we’re crapping the bed vs. HOU. Not good.
I’m sure Tony will throw the offense under the bus later, which will appease us fans anyhow.
LaRussa treats Brendan unfairly in defense of Duncan
I don’t know how much this was discussed on the other threads, but did anyone else notice how much Tony disrespected Brendan Ryan while trying to defend Chris Duncan from all the ’unfairness.
TLR:
“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?”
For the record:
Ryan: .275/.313/.365
Duncan: .227/.329/.358
So neither one is really hitting the ball that well.
If Tony wants to defend Duncan, that’s one thing. And I could see how it’s frustrating to see Duncan (presumably in Tony’s eyes) give his best effort every day and get destroyed by fans for not producing.
But is it really any less unfair to rip Brendan Ryan like that, when the discussion wasn’t about him?
I know the guy swung at that 3-0 count last year or whatever, but geez Tony, let it go!
Also, Brendan Ryan is a shortstop and an excellent fielder
I would gladly take that line from him. Duncan is a LF and a shitting fielder… he needs to hit better.

it was about Ryan...
… since Duncan PH for Ryan. TLR also mentioned that Valverde has a HUGE platoon split, which is true.
quite frankly, neither Duncan nor Ryan had a chance last night, so the point is pretty much moot.
Vaguely
Brendan Ryan is clearly secondary in the discussion.
He still could have said, “Brendan was having a rough go of it today.”, as opposed to calling him futile. That’s all I’m saying. It just seems a little ridiculous and excessive to me.

Yeah it got a little mileage in the 1st game thread.
Seems like you’ve summed up the discussion pretty well.
Regardless of how well Brendan is hitting...
The likelihood of him GIDP in that situation is slim. It was overwhelmingly likely for Duncan.

As I Think About It, This Explains Everything
Tony is convinced that Dunc is going to break out of it with his next AB.
Of course, he’s been that way for 2 months.
So... the only way we win this game is if we get a starting pitcher that can go 9 innings without giving up a run.
That is a tall order even for a Halladay/Carpenter/Wainwright/Pinerio.
"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
Wow, thanks Astros
Sac bunting up four? Thanks for the out Cecil Cooper! Then again he probably didn’t want to risk a home run because those are rally killers.

What has Mitchell Boggs done to make everyone on this team so mad?
I do not want to see PJ Walters and his lack of an out pitch any more. I do not want to see Wellemeyer any more.
I never could do those magic eye posters.
Future Redbirds - tracking Cardinal prospects for Cardinal Nation
Trade high.
"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
He has an out pitch, he just doesn't use it once he gets here.
He outperformed Boggs in most metrics in AAA. I don’t see how Boggs can rate so much more highly than PJ other than a better meld with our insane coaching staff.
Where is this outpitch?
I’ve never seen it. I don’t like Walters stuff. I don’t think he’s anything more than a 5th starter unless he develops Pineiros-2009 command.
Mitchell Boggs, for all his faults, has a great fastball and a usable slider & curveball.
Future Redbirds - tracking Cardinal prospects for Cardinal Nation
His changeup is his out pitch.
Which you combine with the same fastball that Loshe has makes a 4th to 5th starter.
Boggs needs to get his control together. As much as I hate not having an out pitch, I hate walks more.
His changeup was deposited in the stands.
I just don’t see major league pitcher in all the times I’ve watched Walters.
Future Redbirds - tracking Cardinal prospects for Cardinal Nation
He's Dropping His Arm Slot on his Slider
Which causes it to flatten out (and maybe to tip it).
That can be fixed.
Of course, he still needs to throw the “change” more.
Ahhh
still — not a fan of what Walters brings to the mound.
Future Redbirds - tracking Cardinal prospects for Cardinal Nation
But he brings a screwball movement
changeup that the Cardinals refuse to call for him to throw.
It’s bizarre. His control is crap because they’ve asked him to throw pitches he normally doesn’t throw.
by Hardcore Legend on Jul 21, 2009 10:30 PM EDT up reply actions
walters struggled with his control
in his first exposure to AAA, too, when he was throwing whatever he wanted. it’s a common narrative: pitchers with B stuff add walks as they reach the upper levels.
His K rate has been down by a quarter this year.
And his control at the majors has been not so hot. I’m not sure if he’s nibbling or what but I don’t think he’s got the stuff to throw it where hitters can get to it and they aren’t chasing it.
Future Redbirds - tracking Cardinal prospects for Cardinal Nation
Some People Think a Screwball Will Ruin Your Arm
Maybe that’s why he doesn’t always throw it.
However, like I said I saw him throw 7 in a row in his last outing.
I think/hope they are just having him work on his slider in a game setting. They want to see if it works against real batters.
So far, not so much.
Its not Bizarre,
Its exactly the same crap that happened with Reyes. Remember his top 5 in the league CH. Then he mysteriously stopped using it. Then on the record he said “Duncan told him about how he could use his breaking ball to induce ground balls.” Then when the other hitters kept jacking those ground ball pitches in the stand it was never Duncan’s fault for making him pitch to his weakness but always Reyes for failing to follow the plan.
The coach is susposed to help the player, not ask them to do what they cannot.
I don't have a problem with Boggs
Honestly I would take either of them over Wellemeyer. Boggs might be more able to succeed under Duncan, but I think PJ has just as much potential.
I would just like to have one off speed artist on this staff so our opponents cannot just gear up for 91-93 mph fastballs and mid 80s sliders for 4 games in a row.
i can't stop looking

So who is against getting Dunn now?
"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
Doesn't matter if it is 2 or 9 when you only score 1.

He then smashes that baseball with the pitchers bloody arm over the wall because he does not hit lefites he bashes them." Ted Lilly
so...
… we need a SP, RP, and at least two position players. i agree. Dunn will be the most expensive (in money and prospects) of those spots to fill, and he’s not much better than league-average after his defense is taken into consideration. i’d like to have Dunn, but i wouldn’t give up anything significant for him and his salary.
frankly, adding a league-average 2B or 3B and moving DeRosa or Schu to LF would give us the same production as Dunn without the cost.

I'm sure glad that Duncan has PJ stop using his changeup
Because the slider is an uber MLB pitch in his eyes. Why the hell cannot our pitching coach work with our pitchers strengths instead of making them all try to throw the same pitches regardless of their abilities.

Ideally you’d have a good play-by-play guy and then the hitter would talk about hitting and baserunning while the pitcher talked about mechanics and pitches and stuff.
