04/17/05 - Cards (Maquis) @ Brewers (Santos), 1:05 PM CT

It's hard to win when you have a big black hole at 4-5.

[strawbossisevil]

What's up with Lee and striking out so much?

Wasn't that something that he didn't do a lot over the past few years?

Hopefully he didn't spend his offseason in the Geoff Jenkins/Junior Spivey school of hitting.

[ja002h]

The only Cardinals who have hits are Pujols and Rolen. He should just walk them next time and get the others out like usual.

[rwa12]

For the time being..lee's name should be changed from caballo to cerrano...he no hit ball that curves...where is jobu?

[scoop53714]

why does it always seem that if Milw starts out the game with an early tally or 2 they are completly useless the rest of the game?

[ja002h]

I'm going to be upset if Santos gets an L for this one. Fantastic thru 7.

[scoop53714]

santos is sweet today and once again the offense is embarassing.

[strawbossisevil]

I know it's a small sample and everything, but is anyone disturbed that Brady Clark has more homeruns than Lee?

 

After hitting so many in S.T., I guess I expected more power in the games that count. Unfortunately that hasn't happened.

 

At least he's been more clutch than Geoff.

[ccbrew]

magruder was jenkins-esque on that one..

[1992casey]

Great catch Magruder!!!

 

Would that have been a homer?

[squarepusher]

MAG-ROTO-RUDER!

 

Not 100% that he robbed it, but a nice catch nonetheless.

[Ralph Wiggum]

Boo ground balls to SS/2B! Boo!

 

Yay Vic Santos!

[strawbossisevil]

Santos has pitched amazing today. I am giving him a standing ovation in my dorm room. Hopefully, he'll continue to pitch like this. Today, he certainly looked like someone who belongs in the starting rotation.

[falloutboy]

Great catch Magruder!!!

 

Would that have been a homer?

 

I thought it looked a little short as well.

 

A minor note to Hardy:

 

Take a nice big swing and strike-out sometime. Please. Just make it look like you can get the ball outside of the infield.

[squarepusher]

Victor is making me look like a jerk with this strong outing, but that's just fine by me. It's really never been a question about his stuff, it's about keeping his stuff DOWN. He's been doing a nice job. Hopefully he doesn't start lifting the ball up as the season wears on, like last year.

[ja002h]

Please, Junior, give Santos a W

[ja002h]

Ugh. We're gonna lose.

 

edit: And Rolen homers...

[950opsLHcatcher]

Guy pitches 8 innings and allows one earned run. Not getting the win for him is pretty embarassing.

[AJAY]

It's been 6 innings since a Brewer hit a ball hard. 18 in a row have been retired. They did very little yesterday, and they did nothing the day before.

 

This is getting out of hand.

[dogs with bees in their mo]

Santos earns a no decision for his fine work. Our hitting sucks.

[squarepusher]

Starvin' Marvin gives up a tater. Ugh.

Especially considering they made Marquis look like...well...Vic Santos in the first inning, and like the 1996 version of Greg Maddux thereafter. It's like after the beginning of the game, every batter has either struck out or grounded to 2B/SS.

 

 

edit: Drat...cheap home run! dang it

 

well, time to get killed by Issy in the 9th

[RyDogg66]

Whoops. I guess 3 hits isnt enough to win a game. Who would have thought...

[JoeH33]

home run.........looks like we lose again

[YutakaEnatsu]

Losing record, here we come? Rolen jacks one.
