Not to get ahead of ourselves or talk about games other than this one in the IGT, but I don't get the announcers' assertion that Narveson's appearance here means he couldn't pitch in place of Marcum in Game 6. I think his arm should recover just fine from a few pitches. EDIT: I'm not necessarily advocating for a Marcum benching, I was just confused. -
Hairston shot up the middle followed by a YuniBomb.

Not really, though it would be nice.It pretty much is. They put all their eggs in this basket by throwing Yo this game. If they had thrown Wolf this game, they'd at least have Yo vs. Lohse tomorrow and a big advantage there. Instead, they're three outs away from Randy Wolf being the only person standing in the way of the Cards taking a 3-1 lead.And the Cards are looking at Kyle Lohse being the only person standing in the way of the Brewers knotting it up (or taking a 3-1 lead). I guess I don't follow what you're saying. You basically wanted to forfeit this game? I mean, it sounds like you're saying Wolf has little chance to do well, which would imply you just wanted a loss today to lineup a better chance at a win tomorrow.

Me. With Carpenter pitching, I did not think we'd score much. Obviously, he wasn't totally on his game, but we didn't know that would be the case.

ZOMG HE'S GOING FOR A FOUR OUT SAVE

The Curse of the Cruzbino?

Likely because Kotsay has been good at the plate tonight and maybe only slightly worse in RF than Hart.
-
Well, if our bullpen doesn't give up any runs, we won't. It's just that a bullpen tie doesn't do us any good.

It's crazy to me that Hawkins can throw 93-94 MPH. It looks like he's barely putting any effort into his pitches. So silky smooth.
-
I know it was just strike 1, but that was a great pitch by Hawkins to start off Holliday. I totally thought that was going to be an easy one to hit out over the plate and it dipped just a bit at the end so that Holliday swung over it. I think a lot of times we don't realize how much some subtle movement means. A pitch can look good to a hitter and when he swings, just a tiny bit of movement causes him to miss. That looked to be the case with Rickie's K in the 5th inning.

Bean him.
-
I will say, though, that without looking at his numbers, Hart has seemed to be much less streaky this year.
-
When Yo is on, that low fastball is a thing of beauty.
-
I liked the analysis on the replay of strike three to Rickie. Upon further review, pretty great pitch.
-
I really like listening to Smoltz talk pitching.

Braun said a naughty word...

Damn. Nice play by Jerry there.
-
Nor has his ERA.
-
It's known as the "vicinity play." Umps will give shortstops and second basemen some leeway to allow them to avoid a charging baserunner. If he's WAY off the base and it's pretty obvious he didn't even put any effort into even making it look close, I've seen umps call the guy safe.
-
Very, very nice. Now walk Pujols.
-
I have a feeling of impending doom...I hope I'm wrong.

Question: Is it really common for the managers to call the pitches? It looks like both TLR and RR are sending the signals to the catchers. I'm especially surprised with the Cards, as I'd figure Clutch Yadi is so amazing that he's written the book on all the opposing hitters.
-
Smoltz is totally right. Gallardo's balance/mechanics are all sorts of off. I know what it's like, too. When I used to pitch, there was about one game per season where I felt totally off. I remember one where I felt off balance every pitch, yet somehow I only gave up 1 run. Maybe it made my delivery deceptive or something.
