Cardinals going for the series shutout. Tony's done his part by starting Miles and batting him second, but we can't do this without a healthy does of dejection from VEB. C'mon guys I know you can do it!

followed the 13th inning mess
with 401 in the next game, then a double in the next game, then a single in the next game, then oh fer since
Sorry if this has been covered...
…but I just logged into gamecast, and how the hell did Schumacker end up out at second on a Miles Fielder’s choice after he doubled to lead off?
And can I blame Aaron even if it’s Skippy’s fault?
Bunt back to the pitcher...

Oh, regarding scout school
They basically just said that they usually only send two, but this year they’re sending three of their employees, so there was no room for me. I can’t say I’m not disappointed, but I definitely understand.
I was trying to get a head start in the whole process… usually you need to actually work for a team before they’ll send you

We're cruising along at a clip of 2 hits per inning.
Blowing away our current trend of .17 hits per inning, assuming I math’d correctly.
Our run production has also increased infinitely over the last 2 games’ output.
We'll regress..

dear rick horton
i now understand what mysterui was saying yesterday. STFU about miles
"Did you just grow a mustache?"
"While SPINNING."
He's an accomplished bunter
Of all sad words of tongue or pen; the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
he said miles is in because when boog isn't hitting it affects his defense
then he also said that miles doesn’t have the range at SS that ryan has, but that he’s more of a “steady” player
"Did you just grow a mustache?"
"While SPINNING."
But Boog didn't make any mistakes last night and he had a hit?

How many routine plays has Boog booted this year?
They’re talking like Miles ONLY makes incredible plays and never makes the normal ones. I don’t get to watch many games, but I sincerely doubt this is the case from what I’ve seen.

are you really suggesting that Miles is a better defensive shortstop than Brendan Ryan?

Gamecast reads "Pennce out stretching at second."
Do they mean trying to stretch the hit into a double, or was he just limbering up after the hit ans strayed off the bag?
He was doing a squat-thrust and came off the base.

He didn’t try to yank it over the RF wall? Not possible. That’s all he does. He doesn’t take walks or singles or what the pitcher gives him. He only tries to hit selfish HRs.

Well he does have the 2nd longest HR this year, in all of baseball.

i bet there is a higher probability Yadi hits into a DP than
Any given runner gets thrown out trying to steal second. The guy on first should be attempting to steal or at least hit and run every single time with Yadi up and 1 or less outs.
by mick311 on Sep 1, 2010 2:32 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
earlier in the year someone posted Yadi stats
And he hit into the DP with a man on first almost 30 percent of the time. So yea I don’t see why we don’t try and steal every time, ESP with someone like Colby who has speed.
by mick311 on Sep 1, 2010 2:34 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Pudge is probably the only one worse this year
Blaine Matthew Burns: Albert Pujols' biggest fan (his first words will for sure be "Albert Pujols is RIDICULOUS")
That's actually right
Yadi’s had 88 PA with a runner on first base and less than 2 outs, and he has 18 DP’s. That’s 20% DP rate. So you need at least an 80% success rate to do a steal.
Interestingly enough, Yadi’s OPS in double play situtations is .891.

compared to Cards
KMac – 54
Boggs – 52
Reyes – 50
Miller & Franklin – 48
but if you look at the career highs for innings pitched (rhodes for example)
he pitched in 66 games last year… he has appeared in 60 now with a month to play.

games are what I listed
IMO the number of appearances matter more than the innings when looking at relievers, especially LOOGY’s and closers.
Dusty has all three Masset/Cordero/Rhodes on pace to beat their career high in appearances and that is before the postseason.
if you look at rhodes innings this year
he is at 49.1 and last year he threw 53.1 for the entire season

Seems appropriate.
no he is suppose to pull the ball

funny thing... i work at Cat in Peoria
Nobody and I mean NOBODY eats donuts if you bring them in. However, if you bring in Bagels everybody scarfs them up. If you look at the caloric differences between a regular glazed Crispy Creme doughnut and a Cinnamon Bagel from Panera… the difference is stark

fat content is a big difference though
1.5 g fat, 0g saturated for plain bagel
12 g fat, 3g saturated for glazed krispy kreme.
(but the calorie comparison is still surprising.)
but how many people (as suggested below) eat it plain?
i wonder how much of the fat content comes from the sugar glazing and not the dougnut itself

Cardinals
there’s still a very strong core, with talented young players in the organization to surround them. Imagine Tyler Greene instead of Miles, Allen Craig instead of Winn, Matt Carpenter instead of Feliz, Brandon Dickson instead of Suppan, Salas instead of MacDougal … well, you get the point.
Shed the stupid panicky acquisitions, the deadweight anvil around the neck of this team, and a manager who sticks to conventional lineups rather than his pet theories …
I’ve read it here before, nobody takes an 80-win team and makes them a 90-win team, and nobody takes a 95-win team and makes them a 90-win team better than LaRussa.

I like that scenario
when do the Birds pull the plug and start getting more at bats and innings for the youngens you mentioned?
Well ...
Memphis is a game behind Iowa in their division, with a four-game series in Des Moines this weekend.
Springfield is three games back in their division, so they’re still in their race.
So that’s why the team hasn’t promoted all the minor leaguers they can. Plus, as long as Miles, Winn, Stavinoha, MacDougal, Suppan and Felix remain on the roster, you know they’re going to get the playing time.

I just think they looked a little better as the year went along, and they have several legitimate candidates for a breakout season. Not all of them will progress, but you have to think a couple of them will. Plus the West was really stacked last year. Many years they may have snuck in with that type of record.

WWL
Who are the guys commentating on ESPN?
Forgive my ignorance, i don’t get to see the cards much in the UK, only when the WWL have them as the live game.
Anyways, i’m sure i just heard one of them say that TLR totally wasn’t interested in Soup getting the win and was more interested in us winning the game.
WTF, i think that’s exactly what was on his mind, gotta get the grizzled vet through 5 to get him the win!
can't get the ESPN feed here,
but I presume Tony will also say he’s more interested in a team win than a pitcher’s W. However, I’m sure his preference for any pitcher is to get at least 5 innings, if only for the bullpen’s sake.
i hope chris carpenter is listening to the astros broadcast

Story about Mark Prior at Yahoo
He’s pitching in an independent league, throwing in the low 90s, and has struck out 20 in 10 innings.
There was also this funny bit: “One batter walks and another belts a drive that Prior’s right fielder flags down over his shoulder at the warning track. Despite the catch, the batter touches them all as if he’d hit a home run, a goofy independent league moment that Prior does his best to ignore.”
Sign him up
He’s a Proven Veteran™ with an injury history, which means he’s gritty.

- Miles? At SS? Really?
- Damnit Miles!
- Why is my row the only one in the stadium that is full?
- Brett Wallace is a
heftyhealthy kid. - Calling it: Molina = in play, outs. Yeah, I’m psychic.
- 69 mph curve from Suppan….with a tail wind.
- Lunch special today at MMP: Lobster, 3-for-1.
- Colby doubling is Molina-proofing the inning.
- Time between pitches is being measured in epochs.
- Scoreboard watching: CIN 2, MIL 0 right now (5 hours before gametime).
- Clearly, Pence’s homer is Boog’s fault. I mean, Houston scored no runs while Miles was in the game.
- How can anyone tell if Stavinoha pinch hit for Suppan?
- Actual screen info on the big board: Wallace needs 278 more HBP to tie Biggio for all-time record. Witty, guys in the PA booth.
Left the game after the Ryan-Pujols-Holliday fail in the 7th. My 4 year old was tossed from our seats for his potty mouthed rant on Miles, Suppan, TLR, and the fact the ballpark’s playground was closed today.
