That pitch was in the other box and Pratt swung at it. How do you win in playoffs with this lineup? 

I think we need to give Pratt more than a few weeks to adjust to MLB pitching before we doom him from being able to contribute in 3+ months.

It’s rough. He’s got a good eye but no pop and teams are going to pitch around guys to get to him. 
 

It’s a testament to the quality of the roster that they’re in games where they’ve got 2 automatic outs in the line up, and another who’s close to that

No doubt it is right now. But that’s why you play him every day right now. Took him a good month to get going in AAA, adjusting to a new level. Even harder to do so in MLB. If he’s still OPSing .550 in mid August, I’ll be quite worried. But I think that’s why you deal with it now, with the presumption that wont be the case with enough time to adjust.

Quality of the pitching.

It's like Miz went into the dugout and said bro I'm sick of getting beat with my mediocre stuff. Try to hit this.

It's funny that we think of 98mph cutters and 90mph curves as mediocre.

Looks like his hand got there first. But I don’t  trust replay. 

Note: If I raise something as a POSSIBILITY that does not mean that I EXPECT it to happen.

Not really. You don’t need to burn 2 guys as you can put Bauers in OF. Guys you’d normally consider hitting for in a big spot in Ortiz and Pratt are sort of untouchable today with the lack of defensive options beyond them. With that, I think it moves up the timeline to consider pinch hitting. 

And, you’d now have a 2nd AB for Vaughn with RISP vs a lefty.

heck of a play by the CF. Off the bat I thought that would be an easy score and initially thought not worth even throwing to the plate.    Still he looks safe

Another run because Bauers is the fastest/best base running first baseman and better than most corner outfielders as well.

Insane to let Frelick hit lefty there

It was insane to let him in the 4th. Could’ve hit Vaughn and had him now have 2 against lefties with RISP and still have 3 guys on the bench for the rest of the game. Especially when you’re probably not hitting for your 8/9 spots today given the defense.

There is no real pattern to Murphy. He does things that make it appear he's doing an interview and not watching the game.

Any chance there is a dugout feud between Vaughn and Murphy? Something Vaughn said? Not enough sympathy from Vaughn concerning Murphy back surgery? 
why is he persona non grata?

It is a head scratcher, everybody knew the Cardinals had an opener with Zimmerman to follow. It is a really bad look not to let Vaughn face lefties.
