Game 107 Open Thread -- August 1, 2009

| 3.62 FIP | 2.73 FIP |
Wandy Rodriguez is a much better pitcher than I ever thought he'd be and, in fact, he's one of the most underrated pitchers in the big leagues. He's also left handed which has been a thorn in the Cards' side all year but w/ the additions of Holliday and DeRosa to our lineup, I think we're poised to do much better against lefties. For what it's worth, Wandy has substantial home/road splits for his career. Over 5 years, he has a 3.77 ERA at home and a 5.14 ERA away from the juice box. His OPS against on the road is more than 100 points higher than it is at home. He has, however, pitched well in 3 starts at new Busch Stadium.

let's hope the ump has better luck finding the strike zone.

Sup gamethreaders
I’ll be here all night to wow you with my insight. Love it when games are on national TV.
I’m gonna grab a franklin and then this party will really start.
MLB Network's got the game
And what’s more, I get to listen to Dan’n’Al for the first time in months!
I can't believe a major leaguer did this
Posada just tried to tag a guy out coming home (he had plenty of time) with his glove only… the ball was in his hand (not in the glove.) The alert ump called the runner safe
I believe it
Because didn’t it work, recently?
"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there. They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear." - THT
yeah, it did
i think it was pedroia who tagged somebody with the glove – ball in the other hand. ump called guy out.
"He ran hard, but he didn't run fast. He runs like he's mad at the ground." - opposing broadcaster describing Yadi's speed.
fearless prediction
I smell a Colby break-out tonight; batting 8th might be a good tonic; in any case I am happy to see him in the line-up
Time for Albert and the Newbies to open a big lead early . . . .

I hate Wandy
I watch him pitch, and everything in me says that he sucks. His fastball looks 100% most of the time, his little slurvey thing doesn’t move that much…I’m always thinking we’re going to hit him but somehow he always makes us look bad.
Screw you, Wandy. Screw you.
Yeah, he's one of those guys
where you watch him pitch, and your first reaction is to grumble, “Somebody gimme a bat!” It looks like he doesn’t have enough “stuff” to hit; obviously, he’s tougher than he looks at first glance…

Just a might under it
At least he didn’t try and roll that pitch over like he did last night.
He’s close.
Is very bad to steal A-Pu's rum...is very bad.
What is it about mediocre pitchers - Mohler, Moyer, Kuroda that give the team so many problems.

The Cards have mostly

I agree.
I think he was fatigued and pressing. I don’t think he’s hurt. Well, not any more than usual.
"If I prepare myself, my stuff is good and I'm going to get outs. That is a fact." - Chris Carpenter
They are
I was arguing with a Cubs fan that their home unis suck because they have pinstripes and a clean, white look is so much more…I dunno, regal?
He did not agree, but his opinion does not count, since he is a Cubs fan.
I dunno.
Check it:

Tell me that doesn’t look clean.
"If I prepare myself, my stuff is good and I'm going to get outs. That is a fact." - Chris Carpenter
yeah, I much prefer Dodger unis
"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there. They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear." - THT
I love the Dodgers' look.
But the Ernie Banks era Cubs uni is still pretty nice. It’s definitely not anything to be ashamed of.

Oh yeah. Those are awesome.
Maybe a tick too high of a cut, but love the stripes.

I kinda hate the stripe
But then again, I like tall, solid socks. That seems to be an unpopular look around VEB. Most people are a stirrup types.
I don't know how Hunter Pence is a good hitter...
He seems to have no approach whatsoever at the plate.
V, b.
See ball, hit ball...
against lesser pitchers than Carp, that’s not a bad approach.

I know we all know this already
But it should be restated often: Matt Holliday is a man-beast. His a freak. He is crazy athletic. He is jacked.
going to take a Holliday, make a get away from the neighborhood!!

Speaking of which...
why would you ever throw him away? That’s all I’ve seen teams do since he’s been here and Holliday keeps ripping the ball to right.
They don't want him pulling the ball!
Right now, it doesn’t seem to make much difference!

Matt Holliday is a Man-beast
"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."
DeRosa likes to thump people
I guess that’s what makes him a clubhouse presence.

Amen. I love Yadi so, so much.

That's weird.
They had zero outs, right?
"If I prepare myself, my stuff is good and I'm going to get outs. That is a fact." - Chris Carpenter
Yeah, but if you DON'T run from third,
the defense can get the DP by way of 2nd, and then you’ve got a guy on 3rd with 2 outs…

normally dont' you trade the run for the DP?
or were we playing corners in middle back? I wasnt’ paying that close of attention. Obviously cut down the runner going home if you can.
Albert was "in" enough
to make the play at home. A faster runner than Quintero probably scores on the play; Albert (rightly) cut off the run.
If it had been Bourn on 3rd, Albert would probably have started the 3-6-3 DP…

What a play by Albert
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die.

I think the thing that Albert gets the least credit for
Is how tremendous a thrower he is. It’s like people forget that he came up as a third baseman and assume he can’t throw. His arm allows him to be as aggressive as he is on defense.
i love watching him be smart

Proud sponsor of the Official 2009 StL Cardinal theme song: Reason to Believe
That rule, apparently, has officially been changed
The umpires have been explicitly told that a good tag must be applied. Not sure where I heard this, but it was recent.
That's never been true.
"If I prepare myself, my stuff is good and I'm going to get outs. That is a fact." - Chris Carpenter
I know. was just saying that throw beating the runner isn't a factual truth anyway.
It is typically used as a deciding factor though, it seems.
According to the rule book,
and what umps are trained to do, there is no such thing as a tie.
"If I prepare myself, my stuff is good and I'm going to get outs. That is a fact." - Chris Carpenter
I know. I am not the one arguing.
I was just saying that tie goes the runner has no truth the same as a throw beating the runner means they are out has no factual truth behind it either.
I understand you.
I’m saying that umps do not typically give the tie to the runner, or use it as a deciding factor, because they don’t think there is such a thing as a tie.
Basically, if they’re unsure, they pick a call and stick to it. It’s a 50-50 thing.
"If I prepare myself, my stuff is good and I'm going to get outs. That is a fact." - Chris Carpenter

I thought they let Wandy go ahead and get thrown out at second.
Why would they allow him to run for himself and then take him out? I’m confuddled.
I think they wanted to see if he could keep pitching
This pitching staff is pretty worn out. They may have just said, don’t run at all, we’ll get a couple innings out of you and take you out before your next AB.
I’ve had a strained hammy before—it hurts to run, but you can go through your pitching motion with it fairly easily.
I guess it turned out to be pretty bad, though. Might have tightened up on him.
Am I the only one that is indifferent
… about Troy Glaus and his return? I like what we got.

Albert's Swing
For those of you who didn’t see this when I posted it earlier, here’s Albert at the POC from his pop out to RCF in the first yesterday.

This is a mechanically perfect swing.
The only thing I may see is that this pitch is a bit high, and I have been concerned for a while that Albert seems to be chasing the high pitch more than usual.
I think his
swing has looked ugly because he’s chasing. He’s fine. Just pressing.
