Game 109 Open Thread: Cardinals at Mets

PrintSt. Louis Cardinals at New York Mets, Aug 4, 2009 7:10 PM EDT
 |
 |
| Pineiro | Santana |
| 9-9, 2.84 | 12-8, 2.96 |
Santana's strikeout rate is still low, for him, but his last start was his first game over a strikeout an inning since May, when the nosedive began. He's a good enough pitcher that he's still great striking out six per nine, but since every Met making more than the league minimum this season is living under the constant fear of tearing a rotator cuff opening a door or something Mets fans are justifiably concerned about it.
Joel Pineiro—well, I don't know anymore. No idea. Just keep doing what you're doing.

I'd like to see Luddy back hitting 4th
he went in the crapper as soon as they moved him down in the order.
Of course its probably because he feels more pressure to produce and stay out of Holidays shadow. Even though he was producing all July long like no one else in the league, adding a “name” as even he described Holiday can cause you to press.
Milt Thompson FTW!
I'd like to see Holliday bat second and Ludwick 4th

your sins have been forgiven, my son
the ludster has given the mets fan a ball to catch in the outfield
Holliday feature
It was an “exciting moment” for him. “Great baseball city, great stadium, core of the team is in its prime.” “Fun to be around.” It appeals to him, apparently. Time to assess Operation Midwest-Nice. Turn it up to eleven, please?
Chris Carpenter is reminded of MV3 + Larry Walker.

a few of my current favorites
PK = brad thompson
Plan B = Matt Holliday
He had decided to live forever, or to die in the attempt
Pineiro vs. the Mets this year:
2 starts, 2 wins including a complete game 2-hit shutout, 17 IP, 1.06 ERA, 0.65 WHIP, .151 BAA, and of course no HR allowed.
BUT…his K:BB ratio is 0.3333. Only 1 K in those 17 IP, but a full 20% of his 15 BB on the season came in those two games.
Incidently, the CG 2-hitter was at Citi Field on June 23.
He also got two hits and scored a run.

OT: So I just got back from Cancun yesterday
Missed the entire Houston series, but did see the highlights. In other news, the resort I was on only served Dos Equis. They call Corona a ‘gringo’ beer.
I see Rasmus in the lineup, interesting. I need the Morpheus let’s rock picture.
I'm the guy that does his job, you must be the other guy.
that's so wierd because all the latin
folk around here drink the shit outta corona.
"How depressing is it being you? Would you equate it to being a lifelong Cubs fan?"
you live in the US correct?
no one when i went to Guadalajara last summer drank Corona either.
probably along the same lines as cinco de mayo being a bigger deal in the US than in Mexico as well….
I had a chips, salsa, & Dos Equis dinner the other night
delicious.
(I don’t like Corona at all)
Big Brother is watching...
Don't think Rasmus is in the lineup
At least, he’s not listed on most sites (Yahoo, ESPN, MLB.com), although he apparently was listed somewhere because he was in the lineup posted in the earlier thread. Looks like Ankiel is starting in CF.

This Mets announcer
really hates Holliday’s defense…
they have no real basis for their analysis
they said Ludwick is a poor fielder as well
The Redbirds are of the highest priority to me... As it should be
they need to stop and think about the other left fielders in the league
Sheffields for one thing is probably worse than hollidays
The Redbirds are of the highest priority to me... As it should be
don’t have mets broadcast, but from what I can tell they don’t seem to like the cardinals much. I’ve read people say mets announcers have talked negatively about molina, holliday, and ludwick.

i seriously have the hardest time watching when screw shit up like that.
or you could put it this way:
nice juicy lead off double after giving up 3 runs and the lead, and the cardinals fail to score.
/sigh
Be that as it may
I’m sure TLR isn’t paying attention to that. Where’s Joe Thurston? Why not both Rasmus and Ankiel in the OF?
Also, just for clarification, is that season or career? Just curious.
Chlorophyll? More like borophyll!
Season
Career is also a reverse split although less pronounced. Though since he’s basically cut back on sliders it’s gone up.
Not afraid to nitpick
while those splits are interested
skip’s own splits are just as important, and they make it clear that he should NEVER lead off vs a Lefty
He can't hit lefty breaking balls
Santana is a changeup pitcher, it makes sense that he’s where he’s at.
Not afraid to nitpick
TLR didnt want the 2 sure out lefties back to back 7th and 8th
hmm….that’ll get your blood pressure up.
Milt Thompson FTW!
WTF happened???
did the throw to thirdto try and get Lugo on Skippy’s grounder? and then they were actually able to throw to first and still get Skip in time?
Milt Thompson FTW!
Does it make anyone else nervous
that with the lesser teams we will be facing in the next month, we will be facing a bunch of no names that always seem to shut us down?
Gotta start somewhere.
In the past month+ we’ve faced Lincecum, Cain, Oswalt, Wandy Rodriguez (2x), Gallardo, Santana, Billingsley, Haren, Lilly and a few others. We seem to be getting teams’ aces. I’d rather deal with no-names. It does seem like teams are stacking lefties to face us. Ugh, I’d hate to face the Phillies in the playoffs.

…doesn’t know what the HE!! he’s talking about.
Albert’s front shoulder in fine, as I have demonstrated photographically.
Also, he’s doubly a moron if he truly doesn’t like going to other way.

If you'll excuse me
I need to go home and put some water in Ryan Ludwick’s momma’s dish

What kind of baserunning was that Holliday?
You missed the plate
I'm the guy that does his job, you must be the other guy.
He was going to blow up the catcher
but the ball got through.
