Lineup (courtesy of P-D)
All right handed lineup; Ludwick in CF so Stav can start in RF
1. Julio Lugo, 2B
2. Mark DeRosa, 3B
3. Albert Pujols, 1B
4. Matt Holliday, LF
5. Ryan Ludwick, CF
6. Nick Stavinoha, RF
7. Yadier Molina, C
8. Brendan Ryan, SS
9. Joel Pineiro, P
Ludwick is starting in CF
because Ank and Rasmus’s injuries are barking…
or so i’m guessing.
Either that, or Tony predicts that Joel will not let a ball out of the infield tonight.
I don't think the RH bat has anything to do with it personally
That is such a horrible outfield defense, it would negate any benefit from an extra RH bat.
is it wrong that i hope Stav goes ohfer 5 tonight so he can finally be put out of our misery
an 0-5 night would have to push his OBP damn close to below .200. If that happens they just have to get rid of him and give Craig a chance. Right? Right? Right!
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
As long as we win and no one gets hurt.
I dont mind
I'm the guy that does his job, you must be the other guy.
why?
he is just plain terrible, I just can’t see anything worong with Stav going 0-5 and the Cards winning.
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
because
1.) he is a Cardinal.
2.) it would be more fun for him to go 5-5 with 2 HRs and 4 RBIs than to see him go 0-5.
3.) It’s not like if he does good the cardinals are going to trade Rasmus for a LOOGY.
Routing against him just makes you more bitter every time he goes out there. I understand that odds are against him of sticking around the Majors for any length of time. Even as role player. But I don’t see that as a reason to rout against him when he does get his cup of Joe.
#3 makes no sense at all
Keeping him on the roster is really the only problem I have with Mo right now.
* sarcasm might be involved in this comment
It doesn't really matter at this point
it’s not like either of them will have much playing time. Might as well have stav be a good fill-in guy for now, so we can win games.
On with the (good) youth movement!
i think that tony knows
that stavinoha is nowhere near as good as rasmus or ank. this is just a combo of lefty starter and banged up regulars. perfect storm.

Just got home from the Giants game...
There was a feeling throughout the game that it could possibly go scoreless into perpetuity. The Giants may have two good pitchers, but that’s pretty much all (even with new acquisitions). I wouldn’t worry about them in the wild card anymore.

good piece earlier on the road map
question, if lugo does well (and is free) why not move him? i see kg coming off rehab friday and ending up on the roster. gotta do something besides send the stick down and bring boggs up.
"No matter where you go, there you are" Buckeroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension
not likely. KG is just as likely to hit for three days and then "relapse" as anything else.
even if he hits, lugo is with us till next year. KG is gone at the end of the season.
i guess it would depend on what lugo fetches, but if we got him for chris duncan, it’s because the sox thought they couldn’t do better. do we need a dunc-equivalent at any position? what could we get that would be better than blaine boyer, 2.0?
lugo is probably more valuable as a platoon partner at 2b and backup ss than in a trade.
the truth can't hurt you, it's just like the dark/ it scares you witless, but in time you see things clear and stark -- macmanus
I think/hope
That both Thurston and Stav will be sent down on Friday to make room for kg and Boggs

Remember last year when Torre

These are the types of reasons that I despise Manny. He holds out; he gets suspended; he won’t do the one little thing his manager has asked of him.
Not Cardinal material, that’s for sure.

Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.
Guess it would have been stupid to have Luds bunt Pujols and Holliday over...
would have been nice thought to have runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out.
Holliday.

So glad Stavinoha is in the lineup Tony
Also glad you moved Ludwick to CF to do it…

I just noticed...
that Brendan’s BA is up above .280 now, which reminded me of this story.
A grad student in the stats dept. at my college is into that whole sabermetrics thing so I was talking to him back in the winter, and he happened to mention that he knew Brendan Ryan somehow and that he was working really hard this offseason on his offense.
At the time I couldn’t help but think, “Yea? I bet he’s lost 15 lbs of fat and added 25 lbs of muscle.”, but here we are, in July (August soon) and Brendan’s batting .280+ and starting at SS (in St. Louis, not Memphis).
I guess some leopards really can change their spots, or whatever the saying is. Let’s hope it lasts for many seasons.

I really want to believe it's real
but just before the season started I thought Wellemeyer was for real, and that we should add another starter to bump Pineiro from the rotation.
For now, I’ll be thankful just for Ryan’s performance this year and hope for the best. One year of performance like this is still pretty darn impressive though.

So I've been thinking about this seriously for a while
And I really do think that at some point we are going to need to score tonight if we plan to win this game.
Thoughts?
I'd need to see some statistics in order to accept that argument.

You, my friend, have not studied the wisdom of John Madden enough.
They say that it's never too late, but you don't get any younger...
I'll buy the statement as true,

I really wish Boog
didn’t throw it under hand there. I mean that is some serious submarine shit there.

Boog hit a deep ball to left, manram walked to the wall
jump 2 inches & caught it & flipped it into the stands. everyone & their cousin thought Boog hit a HR.

Ball looked like it was out...
turns out Manny caught it at the top of the wall…..then tossed the ball into the stands

Boog hit it to the wall
Manny leaps up and catches it then tosses the ball in to the stands. Great pick by Manny
long fly ball to left
dan called it as gone. manny made a jumping catch and turned around rather matter-of-factly. then throws the ball in the stands. it was confusing. but out. misjudged the jump.

god, Manny has to make a slight effort now. ESPN will call that the greatest catch ever eventhough he barely jumped.

When SoonerFan wakes up in the morning and reads the box score to check
what happened in the game, can he please explain to us all why we bunted so Stavinoha can bat with a runner in scoring position?
by Hardcore Legend on Jul 29, 2009 10:13 PM EDT reply actions
SoonerFan IS Tony LaRussa
Hes at the game.
I'm the guy that does his job, you must be the other guy.
That was a drag bunt though
……notice he was running out of the box when he squared and his footwork was designed to get a quick break to first. It’s very possible this one was on the player.
Now, why in god’s name was Rasmus benched so we could get Stav in there? That’s an entirely fair question.
