Yeah this is not the managers fault at all. Our pitchers are not throwing strikes and making the pitches. We've used 5 in this inning. I don't know what else they coulda done.
Well, had we gone after Pujols with nobody on base, which is usually traditional to do when nobody is on base, and retired him, which we had about a 60-65% chance of doing, it would still be 3-2 and we'd still have a pulse. I guess they coulda done that.

Obviously. Plunking Pujols was just stupid. We all know that by now

13 straight retired by Cardinals pitching. If we lose, this is definitely a team loss.

How about leaving Linebrink in?

 

Yeah I said that earlier. I agree with that. I'm just talking about after they decided to take him out.

 

Except they only took him out so Yost could have McClung throw at Pujols

 

No, King started the inning

why do i actually ever think they have a chance? everytime i get optimistic they do something like this and totally fall apart

 

This is why next year frightens me.....can we really address an entire bullpen in one offseason? And if Mark A. is serious about Yost being "safe", aren't we going to be right back where we started?

King did start the inning but you know Linebrink could have faced Ankiel. Yost wanted to hit Pujols so he made a pitching change for a guy who would get thrown out and maybe suspended and not matter. It was planned.

Coco vs. anyone.
Well certainly. But you know those were the two options in Yosts' head. Of course I'd use Cordero, but I was just thinking of the scenarios that were actually possible.

I dont think that going to Coco was necessary. I believe that staying with Linebrink was the way to go.

By the way, I can't wait until someone next spring justifies TBow as the setup guy on here again. Someone will find some worthless stats to justify him. Sorry, I will not agree with that person and be called a bad fan, I'm sure.

Yeah, that's a strike.

 

1500+ posts and my first strike. Pretty good control considering how this season is ending.

I'll predict that the stat will be BAA.

Ya, early I was trying not to let all those missed opportunities bother me because of how well we've been playing, but in the back of my mind I was worried, as it reminded me of the team that couldn't perform we've seen so often this season.

I don't think it was planned that far in advance. I do believe it was planned to give Pujols a ride to first base, and that's not neccesairly a bad decision. Turnbow did get the strikeout and that some goofy little bloop hit. That is when Svuem should have taken him out. Put the blame on Svuem, unless of course you believe Yost was using a shortwave radio to get instructions to Svuem to leave Turnbow in.

I have come close many times my friend. Thank you for taking one for the team. I appreciate your efforts.

Having McClung hit Pujols was just a stupid move by Yost. With all the frustrating games this year, this one is right up there. I mean, what is Yost doing having a someone hit Pujols in the 8th inning, down by one, with the season on the line. I mean, stupid is the word that keeps coming into my mind. I hope Yost is happy, he may have helped piss the season down the drain, but at least he showed how macho he is. And yes, the bullpen is to blame as well, but this all started with the stupid decision by Yost. Turnbow and Shouse pitched badly, but the decision by Yost was a bonehead move. This is the manager who is going to lead this team to the playoffs? I'm sorry, but there is no way to defend that decision.

Errr..... Okay, I had to get that out. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

Greg Aquino's on someone's 40-man roster. That may be the most amazing nugget of the evening.
