Screw it...just let Sabathia close it out!

[Brewcrewin07]

Yost has to be smart here and bring Shouse in to face Ankiel doesn't he?? Please???

[ELCABALLO45]

Mota, Gagne and Riske throw scoreless almost perfect innings...

 

Torres blows a game...

 

Hall homers off a right....

 

This is a crazy game

[tristarscoop]

WAIT WHAT? TORRES IS BATTING!!

[rotoherb]

and Larussa has a pitcher hitting third next inning because he has no more pinch hitters left on his bench as far as I can tell....

[trwi7]

Really? Runner on 2nd with one out and you're letting Torres bat? Really?

[thablingster]

Sadly, I can't blame Ned for this move. I still trust Torres on his third day in his second inning than I do anyone else left in the bullpen.

[rluzinski]

Come on Yost. Make Torres pitch 2 complete innings? Make him pitch bat with an insurance run at 2B?

 

I never understand it.

[Brewer Fever]

Going on record...don't agree with batting Torres at all. I'd rather take two chances at getting a hit to go up 2, and have a different reliever in the 10th than leave Torres in there banking on holding a 1-run lead.

[DougJones43]

Does anybody else get super annoyed just looking at Weeks?

 

edit: Well, at least he's made up for his awful defense with his bat and his speed today. Now take him out in the bottom of this inning!

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

free runs

[tristarscoop]

Why isn't Torres a bunt there?

 

Also, had Torres gotten a hit, this would have officially gone done as the most ridiculous game I've ever seen.

[thablingster]

Ah, bad defense. It is sweet when we're not doing it.

[trwi7]

BIG INSURANCE RUN!!!!!!!!!

 

I know he made a bad throw but that was an incredible stop by Miles.

[ELCABALLO45]

I have learned from this game to not question Yost.

 

YES!

[moofnelson]

Nice play by Miles, but that throw was really stupid.

[sheethead]

Nice stop Miles. Nice throw too. Thanks for the insurance.

[Brewcrewin07]

That a boy Rickie!!! Redemption!! Even if the STL scorer scores that an error. :P

[datrain711]

nice to see someone else make a dumb decision

[brewtank34]

I hated Miles before, but now I love him!

[tristarscoop]

That was an incredible stop by Miles.

[rluzinski]

I thought the Cardinals never make mistakes?

[ELCABALLO45]

YES YES YES

[brewtank34]

nice hit Weeks...way to come back from duffing it in the field....Way to go Hardy!!! Let's get this kid hot again!!!

[bucks2281]

Phew, insurance is nice. I'll still be nervous, though.
