[o2cui2i]

ugly win is always better than an ugly loss.

 

going to need a CG win tomorrow. pen is toast

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Wow, that ball was crushed by Brantley.

 

2 feet to the left or right and we lose.

[Orgfiller]

Cards fan here,

 

Brantley should have aimed that line drive better. What a moron!

 

Lol

[Atothe]

That's not the type of appearance that raises someones confidence.

 

so what you banish him to the Esmil Rogers' place?

Is Rasmus a true cardinal?

How about we stop using him as a "closer" and just play the matchups?

 

Start the inning with Santos and have Loup ready for a LH

I say make Cecil the closer and give Cecil's job to Loup

[GD]

Joel Carreno for closer

[eastcoastjaysfan]

LoL... Double should have been caught if the defenders were positioned correctly. He than made quick work of both Bourn and Swisher. Got ahead of Kipnis 0-2 completely fooling him. And then Kipnis some how laid off some impossible pitches. Inning could have been much easier.

 

Laid off some impossible pitches? It was a good at bat from Kipnis but Santos couldn't find the zone. No brainer to take some of those.

 

We should've lost this game.

[JFD]

todd Redmond would do a better job than Santos. he's a disaster. sounded like he was having a panic attack in his post game interview.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

How about nobody is the closer?

 

Gibby is going to have to start trusting his starters to give him more innings. Hutch could've gotten out of that situation tonight and given them another few outs. You cannot run your pen out there for 4 innings a night.

He had just finished striking out the two previous batters, yes he took some very tough pitches, full credit to Kipnis.

Is Rasmus a true cardinal?

 

If Colby was a "True Cardinal", he would still be a member of the class of the NL Central. With that said, the answer is obviously a "no".

True Cardinals get along with their HOF managers.

I was going to set my DP to the Cards last night, but chose against it. This has proven wise, you are far more qualified than me.

[o2cui2i]

Loup as designated Loogy.

 

now that's absurd. he's been nails against RH and LH. why would you make him a 1 batter pitcher??

Committee you mean? That would be interesting to see. Delebar/Santos/Cecil all closer material so it could work if we play the matchup

It's useless, he keeps saying this even though he doesn't have anything to back it up.

[Captain Adama]

I don't know what the hell happened in this game, but it looks like Drew Hutchison looked studly tonight. Confirm or deny?

[havok24]

True Cardinals get along with their HOF managers.

 

Qualifications of a True Cardinal:

 

1. Know how to play for your HOF managers.

2. Aim those line drives!

 

Colby Rasmus is clearly the "Anti-True Cardinal". Every time I watch Colby play the game of baseball, he can't seem to aim his line drives. People call it "unlucky", I call it being a f***ing moron. He has no desire to win. When you put on that red bird uniform, it should be an honour and a privilege. Colby takes his spot in CF with his stupid look on his face all the time, and half asses his routes on balls in CF. The man does not have "the will to win" at all. Oh and let's not forget that after Colby was traded, the Cardinals went on to win the world series only 3 months later. Getting rid of that clubhouse problem child was a huge factor in the Cardinals eventually becoming world champions.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

We didn't lose though. Pitchers have bad streches. Santos is going through one. Hes a good reliever. Stop jumping off a cliff everytime someone struggles.

 

We didn't lose, but we clearly should've lost.

Indeed, lots of swings and misses, solid fastball command, and the offspeed was on.

Cruising until the 6th until he gave up a HR and Gibby pulled him after a triple was hit against him with one out.

 

Very good performance. Promising.

2. #TWTW.

 

This is a Hawk/CWS thing. Stop.

Looked good, love watching him pitch. If I had my druthers, this rotation would have Hutchison, Stroman and Nolin by June, but that's just me.

 

Getting back to Hutch, he got unlucky in the 6th inning 'cause Kipnis got on base for Santana's homer on an IF single that bounced high off the plate. Absent that IF hit, things could've been different as he may have pitched Santana differently. One thing he needs to improve is the pitch count, but tonight it was partly 'cause of the strikeouts and one long AB by Murphy.

Yikes a Hawk reference ugh.

Hutch was awesome. Jays had a few opportunities to cash in with runners in scoring position but they didn't come through. They probably should have lost that game considering Brantley destroyed that final pitch (last out).

[havok24]

This is a Hawk/CWS thing. Stop.

 

Hey btw,

 

Can you send me a PM on what you would want for one of your catchers (off board league)? Thanks. I know you sent me an email earlier but I think I deleted it.
