Rangers at Cardinals Open Thread: Jaime Garcia vs. Colby Lewis

Jaime Garcia is a very good pitcher. This is what I keep repeating to myself: In 217 innings, Jaime Garcia struck out more than three batters for every one batter he watched. His FIP was 3.23 and his xFIP was 3.31, if you like that sort of thing. He's got great stuff and he's coming off one of the Cardinals' best starts in the postseason. Since Al Hrabosky won't be around to remind you, he loves to hit, and the Cardinals are back in the National League.
He's better than Colby Lewis, and he gives the Cardinals the best chance they have to beat the Rangers and move on to Game 7 of the World Series, which is at least what I'm hoping they'll do.
The Cardinals' lineup has Skip Schumaker in it much too early—I'd like to see David Freese there, or Lance Berkman—but it's still a good lineup.
That's really all there is: These Cardinals against these Rangers in one game. They'll need to take advantage of Colby Lewis's propensity for the home run, and they'll have to do it with men on base. That's it.

He was also supposed to be on Gameday for Mizzou but mysteriously backed out at the last second and then claims he doesn’t remember what obligation it was that caused him to cancel. But hey, fuck it, he’s Don Draper.

Alright guys, THANK YOU MIKE SHANNON
He was discussing that Colby Lewis had not given up a run in the 1st inning in his 7 postseason starts.
He repeated it about 6 times to jinx it.

absolutely a strike from most umps, but that’s the same pitch Jaime threw he called a ball.

Anyway, Jaime’s command isn’t very good. 2-2.
FWIW, the walk to Holliday was on a borderline pitch, so Colby is getting squeezed as well.

cutter command is especially awful

Was a little annoyed that they made a point to talk about how Lewis was getting squeezed
Ceterum censeo La Russa ire necesse est.
The first inning there were a few that looked really close both down and out.
RE-SIGN ALBERT PUJOLS!
Yeah, I saw that on Gameday
I was just wondering if Fox pointed out any close ones for Jaime, or just for Lewis.
Ceterum censeo La Russa ire necesse est.
Granted, Lewis got squeezed on one that resulted in a walk
So I guess that’s more noteworthy
Ceterum censeo La Russa ire necesse est.

he was hitting the edges of the zone and not getting strike calls. Lewis was too.

that 5-6-4 double play was fucking beautiful. Freese & Pujols charged really aggressively.

I wonder
if they could have gone around the horn for the triple play if Lewis had bunted it harder. That was actually a fairly good bunt, but Freese was practically 30 feet from home plate when the bunt went down.

Furcal was still moving with his back to the field and the wind playing with the ball.

It’s a WAY easier play to come in on the ball than go out on it, not to mention the OFer has the bigger glove that is designed to, ya know, catch fly balls.

The infielder calls every ball he can get to
The outfielder calls every ball he can get to, at which point the infielder recognizes that the outfielder has the easier play and gives way, because that is actually the first rule of fielding that I can remember learning in tee ball. You don’t say “take it” as an OFer when you can get the ball. Ever. Furcal did exactly as every SS in the league will do on every in between FB.

Outfielder overrules.
The infielder is always going to call for the ball, but the second the outfielder also calls for it, it’s his ball. Holliday didn’t call him off.
