| 2.80 FIP | 2.71 FIP |
The Cards have been swept at home 3 times this season -- once by the Phils in a 2 game series in early May, in a 3 game series by the Brewers in mid-May, and by the (gulp!) Rockies in a 4 game series in early June. Interestingly, while Wainwright started a game in all 3 series, Carp didn't start a game in ANY of them. Sounds like we'll win this one, right?

Carp says he doesn’t pay attention to his own intimidation factor.
meanwhile he tries to kill the reporter with his eyes.

oh here we go. René Knott and Boog.
he says the ball is going real slow to him, when it’s going well.
then he immediately sings praises to the pitching staff and Yadi. "I can only play as well as they’re pitching."
He has no idea how he is so awesome. "You try to just be." = like a zen ‘be’
"I surprise yourself when I go out there, starting, on a major league team, in St. Louis."
"It’s strange to hear that [a lot’s expected of me] from veteran guys."
he watched "Skip and I watched Milesy a lot"
"Albert’s more of a quiet leader. His presence does a lot by itself." Boog says Albert doesn’t get enough props for his magic at first base.
Man, Boog deflects almost all his praise to other people.

DeRo still unhappy with his own offense
talk about self-deprecating. he’s spot on about losing bat-speed and strength, though.

"Before every AB I picture myself reaching down the hitter's throat and ripping his still beating heart from his chest, devouring it before his eyes and the eyes of his wailing family, and letting the blood pour down the front of my uniform to stain the now-hallowed ground from which I will deliver the first pitch." - Chris Carpenter

The 1st 4 outs for the Cards came on 4 pitches...
Albert is the only batter to NOT swing @ a pitch. Now, we have 6 outs, still Albert is the ONLY Cardinal to have taken a pitch w/out a swing. Cody & DeRo saw 6 pitches…6 swings. It really is becoming comical how horrible this team’s plate discipline is. I dont know if Hal or Tony is to blame, but if they cannot get a handle on the incessant hacking, this team will be on the golf course too early this fall.

when I checked the schedule
I viewed it as a good playoffs test. Atlanta and Colorado were going to be hungry. I thought the Brewers would be counted in that list, but they’re just busy being bush league.
The good news is, they did what they were supposed to do — they padded in August. We are going to need that padding.
And I wish they’d stay on task with gelling the damn offense already.

we need to give the opposing pitcher a chance to fail
present strategy, in theory and not far from practice, would allow the opponent to get by with 27 pitches a game. not a good end game strategy
"No matter where you go, there you are" Buckeroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension
Yeah the offense isn't going to scare many teams in post season the way it's going
Our best shot was going to be our starters shutting teams down. Today is a little of a “uh oh” moment for me.
We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
my greatest fear at this moment
is not losing games.
it’s the team getting discouraged and not working on what they should be working on. AFAIK there aren’t going to be a lot of rookie pitchers from here on out. They should not be lacking on homework and game plans.
There is plenty of time to make those adjustments. They just need to get it done.

Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
When a pitching staff NEVER, EVER pitches high in the zone,
its a hell of alot easier for a hitter to locate a pitch. There is definitely a difference between leaving a ball up in the zone & throwing high every once in a while to change a hitter’s eye angle. The last 3 games, I’ll bet there have been less than 3 pitches thrown high in the zone. And BTW, keep !#$#% hacking. Albert & Carp are the only 2 hitters to not swing @ a pitch the 1st time thru the lineup.
That loss yesterday just sucked the joy out of this team
The time has come for someone to put his foot down and that foot is me

It went something like:

Yeah, maybe…

I've worried since July

but since nobody cared, I have become quite zen about it. I want the offense to work out their problems.

As long as we can take 2 out of 3 from the Cubs
we can do them in ourselves next weekend and all the worries can be put to bed. Now if we let them take 2 out of 3 or let them sweep us at Busch….then maybe we don’t deserve to have a playoff spot.
We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
I'm not so much worried about the Cubs facing bad teams

To force a playoff
the Cards would have to play something like 5-13 down the stretch while the Cubs go 16-5.
They had a lousy series on the heels of a sweep in Milwaukee and a 5-1 road trip. The Cards are now 7-5 in Sept, playing .721 ball (31-12) in the last seven weeks, including the three game losing streak. Step away from the ledge, it will be okay.

nice job guys
way to keep vazquez in the game and not take advantage of atlanta’s overworked pen
most team sports have team strategies that vary from time to time
this first pitch/ground out/pop-up thing is driving me crazy

They’re just helping the other team pitch to contact.
Imagine if Dave Duncan was a hitting coach. This would be the result.

At least it was quick
I almost didn’t realize the game was over it went so quick.

Because you missed the game. Way to let us all down.

Is this the fewest posts ever
for a Gameday discussion? A combination of the early blowout and the first weekend of the NFL season kept the posts way down, I wager.

So, there was beautiful weather at the ol' ballyard today.
And that’s all I’m gonna say about that.

Ok, so dating back to last year, I have a 6 game losing streak at Busch...
but I havent been to a game since May. So is it time to go back or should I not press my luck and wait until April to catch another game?
This year was 2 Wellemeyer starts and the Lohse rainout/makeup game, and I think all 3 last year were Looper starts where he got 0 run support
I crawled the earth, but now I'm higher, 2010 watch it go to fire!

It's safe to go to Wellemeyer starts. But that's it.

Of course, hope means being cut down on some street corner, as you run like mad, by a random bullet.
yes
but i’m not wasting any more money on a wellemeyer start

if Van Pelt wears a snugy or whatever it's called during SC, it will be so freaking funny though

People have died in snuggies
and no one knew for days. They are really just blankets that digest you very slowly.

screw Franklin regressing... wtf is *this*:
RT dgoold:
Carpenter had gone 228 starts since the last time he allowed as many as seven runs in one inning. Dates back to 1998.
So I checked for 6-run innings… Carp hasn’t had any lately.
6 or more run games:
6/30/09 vs Giants – 6 ER / 4R in 5th (singles, sac fly, double, error by Ankiel)
6/23/06 @ Detroit – 7 ER / 3R in 5th
5/19/06 @ KC – 6 ER / 3R in 2nd (Carp won. Wainwright closed.)
8/9/06 @ Cincinnati – 6 ER / 2R in 4th, 2R in 6th (Izzy blows save.)
9/21/06 @ Houston – 6 ER / 2R in 4th, 2R in 8th (home runs)
9/26/06 vs Padres – 6 ER / 4R in 7th (doubles)
9/23/05 @ Milwaukee – 9 ER / 4R in 5th
4/10/05 vs Phillies – 8 ER / 4R in 3rd (single, home run, bad bad day)
6/12/04 @ Texas – 7 ER / 4R in 4th (GS; Blalock pwned Carp)
7/11/04 vs Cubs – 6 ER / 4R in 3rd (single, Sosa homer)
[Toronto]
8/3/02 vs Orioles – 7 ER / 2R each in 1st, 3rd, 4th
4/1/02 @ Boston – 6 ER / 2R each in 2nd, 3rd (home runs)
hfs.
