cardinals even series in blowout of brewers, 12-3.

the cardinals looked very good today, reaching marcum - one of the brewers best starters, but struggling recently - and half of the brewers' bullpen for runs.
albert pujols put the lie to a lot of the muttering by blasting 3 doubles and a homer (.387 WPA). the rest of the team chipped in to make the game a blowout.
edwin jackson did fine, though he did not look excellent, nor go terribly deep into the game. arthur rhodes continues to make one wonder how long anyone will continue to hand him the ball. lance lynn, salas, and motte looked very good in relief.
this was exactly what the team needed. the team has a #happyflight return to st. louis for a crucial 3-game homestand. the brewers have a very extreme home-away split this season. it also doesn't hurt that game 3 is a carpenter start, who has looked indomitable recently (except in his short-rest start).
yadier molina could not resist the temptation to rise to some of the trash talking bait by adding a "crybaby" gesture in the direction of the home dugout while the cards were stacking up the runs, a gesture which will surely garner some talk (if not more).

Agreed. As I suggested in other thread,
it could have been a “seeing-eye” hit gesture
"What I said is what I said. At the time, the moment was heated. Maybe I shouldn't have said it. But it is what it is." -- Nyjer Morgan
and he was clearly looking into the visitors dugout
he was having a laugh with his teammates in the dugout. He was standing on first base, looking straight into the third base dugout. Home dugout is first base in Miller. I think we may be trying to force the narrative a bit by reading into something we don’t have full details on.

Pujols gives interviews like an NFL head coach
He does not often say much that’s interesting. Can’t blame him when he gets asked a bunch of dopey questions, but still, he plays pretty close to the vest. (I have no problem with that FWIW.)
I do love Berkman’s interviews though.

"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
if so, shame on Yadi
“Ooh, look at me, I hit an excuse me check swing roller through the infield. Now is the perfect time to mock the other team while I look at my teammates with a big, goofy grin on my face”
If that was his intent, he should have saved it for his go ahead home run in game five.
"Baseball is like Church, many attend, few understand" - Wes Westrum
He should have saved it for never.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m vaguely amused by the whole thing, but I really wish whatever it was hadn’t happen, and I hope it doesn’t happen again.
the other version makes it good natured joking with his teammates
at his own expense. That’s how I’m going to choose to look at it.

Have you all forgotten last year?
Yadi mocked Brandon Phillips’ home run trot after he hit a home run himself. If he was mocking the Brewers I wouldn’t be surprised.

So after this postseason, is anyone else hopeful of Freese developing more power?
This could just be a random blip but it makes me think maybe he’ll translate more from his minor league days.
Obligatory SSS warning.
I think Freese has a powerful swing
And would not be surprised at all if he hit 25+ homers next year.
