with a good slide he's safe

i agree with the decision to send him. center fielder had to make a perfect throw and catcher had to make the perfect play AND jay had to have a crappy slide. if either of those three don’t happen, he scores.

by mojowo11 on May 26, 2010 10:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

first off

he should have been at third.

Second, he slid into the catcher. Run over the catcher, or slide to avoid the catcher. Do not slide so that you never touch home plate. That is fail.

for sure you don’t watch the ball when you run, that’s elementary

by Cards Fan in Chitown on May 26, 2010 10:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

any base you are going into

you look for the fielders positioning, and the positioning of the glove. the glove will tell you where the ball is coming to – in fact, going to third, say, and a throw coming in from behind you, say center or right, even if the fielder tries to deke like there’s no throw, he eventually has to get his glove to the ball – if the glove is up soon enough, you can slide with one arm or the other in the air in direct line with the path of the ball – best way to be safe is it hits your hand – the hand is not against a bat, it’s free in the air, and the ball is not coming at 90 – injury is not really a concern. or it could hinder the view of the fielder to catch it. it’s a subtle art, but an art nonetheless, and we do not possess the van goghs of the basepaths.

better off just sliding and being safe than looking for the catcher. that’s what i’m saying – he could’ve scored.

Torrealba took a couple shuffle steps back to play the bounce pretty late

Probably too late for Rasmus to change Jay’s course — but let’s be real, Jay has the catcher in front of him, if anyone is going to react to his movements in time to make a difference, it’s Jay by himself.

by Heisenberg on May 26, 2010 10:21 PM EDT up reply actions  

I should elaborate

The on-deck hitter isn’t so much there to tell the runner where to slide — I mean, he can try, but he can really only see the flight of the ball on a throw from the left fielder — he’s just there to tell him TO slide. His role is to say, “Holy shit holy shit here comes the ball it’s gonna be close you better slide!”

by mojowo11 on May 26, 2010 10:24 PM EDT up reply actions  

And another point

The throw was RIGHT TO the catcher. He only backed up to get a higher bounce. Even if Colby had been able to see the flight of the ball — which he probably couldn’t — all he would’ve seen was a ball that was headed directly for a catcher who had total coverage of the plate.

But the throw took Torrealba backwards deeper into foul territory.

Colby did not communicate well, but even if he had, he would have slid right into him, cause Torre started out in front of the plate and moved backwards. Can’t Jay look at the catcher instead of looking past the catcher to see Colby? Is it really easier to look at a teammate than the player right in front of you?

he was rolling along last year before the initial injury. no one had any problem with his performance before that incident, and he hasn’t been right since. it’s bad for us, the contract was never good to begin with, but i don’t hear anyone bashing carp for being injured – lohse did try to still play (i know of course carp couldn’t “pitch through it”)

I mean that he struggled to come back from what seemed like two simple injuries. I think that was this injury at play.

I don’t think anyone is bashing Kyle now. Also, he just doesn’t have Carp’s reputation or talent, so that’s probably why he gets a harder time. I feel for the guy and wish he was healthy. What a crazy fluky injury.

Speaking of golf, no one cares, but fuck this game anyway

1. My clubs with .75 inch extensions FINALLY came and holy shit is it more comfortable to swing with the right length club.

2. I was told for my 18 years of baseball various combinations of “keep your hands inside the ball” and I’m pretty sure this is part of what resulted in a vicious slice. I concentrated on doing the opposite and trying to hit around to the outside of the ball and voila I was hitting a draw or hook. Finding a happy medium between the two is obviously tricky and I naturally revert to the vicious slice swing, but for once there actually seems hope towards my ulitmate goal of spending the rest of my life wasting thousands upon thousands of dollars on an annoying fucking game that I’ll never truly be good at.

GOOD LORD!!!!

I take back every negative thing that I ever said about Lohse

When a reporter asked Gaylord Perry's 5-year-old daughter if her father threw a spitball, she replied, "It's a hard slider."

So the Pads bullpen is better

than their starters

Scoring prospects aren’t that great

Maybe Pads will swap Gregerson back for Holliday - they owe the Cards

Holliday is going to get the Tino treatment real soon

this is going to be ugly……and Mo is going to start feeling the heat as well.

that was a strike

but fuck you anyway, ump. you pursued freese when he was walking away. as a ref in almost every sport you can think of, i can say that is definitely NOT how it’s done. asswipe.

If I was David Freese

I would have said “Yeah kick me out, I don’t want to play another 18 innings of scoreless crap”

As I recall, Mike Shannon was actively insulting the ump's strike zone

perhaps the highlight of the whole series for me

so long as it's consistent

certainly not costing us the game

FUCK YOU UMP……. why in the fuck are you walking after a player….barking at him while he’s walking away….that’s a load of crap.

They are putting themselves in the game,

when in actuality, if they were doing a good job, they would be nearly invisible. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a well called game.
