    Yes for some reason I was thinking they went on Tues-Wed in stead of Weds-Thurs. Either way Marcum should be pulled even in the first inning if he gets hit up. Also using Axford or KRod for multiple inning should be considered but wont be

    We could have started Yo-Wolf on regular rest, something La Russa would have strongly considered but RRR did not think twice about going with "his guy" Marcum. I am not certain that Marcum will get hit around but I would feel better about going with Yo and Wolf. If we end our season with our best going pitcher available on full rest that is pretty unforgivable on RRR. I feel very similar to 2008 when everyone knew Suppan should not start but since he "earned" that spot by being a veteran he got the start and our season was over.

    True, Gomez only faced a RH reliever 6 times this season. Overall, Gomez had the platoon advantage 37% of the time this year. Kotsay had the platoon advantage 94% of the time this year!

    Also when I went down there last summer for some games I could not find anyone who could answer my Cardinals trivia questions, which they should have known
  5. topper09er
    There may be only 1 ball per game that Gomez gets to that Kotsay falls on his face just short of, but it may come at a huge moment in the game...exactly what happened in game 3. The same can be said on offense, but you have more control over the situation whereas on defense you cant predict that a ball will be hit to CF. Bases loaded, 2 outs, the difference between a flyout and a double could end up leading to 3-4-5 runs against you, but if you really think Kotsay is the better bat and Gomez comes up with the bases loaded and 2 outs you can choose to pinch hit there. Also, wOBA does include SB/CS so that probably gives Gomez a decent boost, endaround said better offensive player, not hitter.

    I agree, no matter what Prince will face a LOOGY twice a game if its close and will not get strikes with 1st open, 2 outs or RISP. There is no chance a team will look at JHJ and then think they should throw strikes to Prince. I think JHJ should be up in the 2 hole with how hot he has been
  7. topper09er
    No that look was: pretty nice pitch, everyone in the league would have struck out on that
  8. topper09er
    They said the wind is blowing to right big time, hopefully Prince can take advantage

    How was Braun late on that, 2-0 90 mph fastball?
  10. topper09er
    Wolf better be getting those outside pitches too
  11. topper09er
    I like to see Plush taking all those pitches
  12. topper09er
    Also I see no criticism for pitching to Pujols with 1st open in the 1st inning. How many hits does it take for RRR to pitch around Pujols? Apparently this was finally answered in the 4th inning: 7

    Morgan has 1 BB and 7 Ks so far this postseason, he has not looked very good. I was thinking this same thing last night after watching Morgan screw up routine CF plays. Moving JHJ up in the 2 hole would be pretty nice right now and I would consider moving him there even if Morgan starts tomorrow
  14. topper09er
    RRR needs to learn from TLR and starting managing each of these playoff games like it is game 7 of the WS. Dont worry about tomorrow until we get there. La Russa has been doing this since September basically and the Cards are still fine right now. I cannot see RRR making a move like TLR did last night when he pulled Jackson in the 5th, up by 5 with only 82 pitches thrown.

    2 jam shot hits so far this inning, I guess we got a nice jam shot from Yuni last game
  16. topper09er
    That play was really stupid, risky and unnecessary. As usual, Yuni was too dumb to understand the situation and was unaware that 39 year old backup catcher Henry White was running and he could have taken the easy out at first. Instead he has to sprint to 2nd with Upton running hard meaning there would certainly be a collision and no chance to get the other out at first. He luckily beat Upton to the bag by 6 inches. As soon as he started running to 2nd I was screaming at my TV, we were very lucky he didn't end our season with that boneheaded play. He did the same thing in a Cards game in August, he fielded a grounder up the middle and tried to tag out a stealing runner instead of just ending the game and taking the easy out at first. Then he let Pujols hit with the winning run on base, an AB that should not have happened. Yes the pick was nice, but it was a short hop which is an easy play for a MLB SS while charging.

    Were you excited when we got Zach Greinke? Because when we got him in December he hadn't done anything in a Brewer uniform, so there was no reason whatsoever to think he is a good player until he proves it to you on the Brewers. What, you were excited? Why?... because he won a Cy Young and had a bunch of stats including WAR and FIP that said he is really good. Why is it OK to think that Greinke will be good because of his past good performance but not OK to think Yuni will be bad because of his past bad performance?

    Cards win, get on the plane to Milwaukee Tony, we have more lenient Drunk Driving laws but don't get to crazy.
  19. topper09er
    Yuni, You can't read English so I trust you won't be reading this. You are the worst player in the national league, you pop out to the infield more than the worst little leaguer in history. However, you done good este noche kid.

    I am so drunk right now. I cant believe idiot-court knocjed in that big run yyessssssssss

    Cards up 5-2 in the 6th.

    This is the price you pay for leaving as a free agent. Even if he went to join a winner and the Brewers didn't want to pay him, he left and that's why you see 10 times as many 19s in the stands as 4s today. We are seeing the same thing today with Braun and Fielder. When was the last time anyone even bought a Fielder jersey/shirt? The next statue outside of Miller park will be of Ryan Braun.

    Only question is the 3B playing time
