Not-So-Obnoxious Baseball Thread

This year is the most Marcum has ever thrown.. I think he's just tired. He had a great year, just a bad last month and post season so far.

Agreed. That is why I don't think they should run him out there again. Hell, Wolfie and Grienke aren't exectly lights-out lately, either. Yuck.

I did tell you about Fister, Now let me tell you my pendulum theory on Tiger hitting. All year long they have had these huge swings in hitting. They go from not hitting as a team to everyone hitting. The pendulum last 10 games. The Tigers stopped hitting the last 3 games of the regular season and are now primed to go the next 10 games of the post season. I think we are peaking at the right time.

What's your prediction on Porcello pitching tomorrow?

He's out of the game before the end of the third inning and we have to scramble to win. Final score 8-7 Detroit

That's amazing! I was thinking very much the same thing.

I think the Rangers will be squeezing the bats too hard attempting to come back today. Might be a good thing for Detroit.

Hoping the boys can stay healthy enough to swing the bats, though. Had a couple of scares last night.

I just hope we don't have to put Garcia on the mound on the road!

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

Harrison's on the mound tonight. He could be out in less than 3 innings too, though. Or he could throw a perfect game. You just never know with him. Having an insanely deep bullpen is awesome! At least most of them have a day rest now. I still say Rangers in 5 games.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Kotsay in center. Already cost the Crew with a baserunning screwup and a fly ball he couldn't get to.

 

[xsists]

lol @ starting Kotsay..

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Ugh. 4-0 and still in the first. I fear the game is already over, and possibly the series. Damn.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Jeez, Hart used to be the fastest guy on the Brewers, now chasing that fly ball he looked like he was pulling a tractor. Grrrr.

 

[xsists]

Hart clearly misjudged that ball. He was jogging a bit and then turned it on.

 

[arturo7]

Wasn't this guy supposed to be your ace?

 

[xsists]

He's been VERY good this post season and coming into the post season. He is TERRIBLE against the Cardinals though. 1-7 lifetime.

 

[user 574]

Shhhhhh - he's settling in (and thanks to the 3 runs)

He pitched fine. 6 good innings. Tight one now. Hope they pull it out here.

 

[motobrewer]

i. hate. st. louis.

hm, please continue with the normal pause sequence after the "st", as the period is not for abbreviation but for dramatic effect. st..? saint.? affect? no clue.

 

[kscaglio]

Go cards!!!!!!!!!!

 

[arturo7]

I thought we were in trouble when Carp left. No blown save tonight...

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

After last nights game, are you guys ready to concede that the Rangers are a far superior team to the other three?? Come on, we WILL win the World Series!

You guys can hit the ball, that's for sure!

He did hit a HR?

 

[Bernie Brewer]

He did hit a HR?

He hit a solo shot. Big deal. He also killed what quite likely would have been a big inning with idiotic baserunning and extended the Cards' big inning with horrible defense. anybody but him would have caught that ball standing up. This game was over the minute his name went into the lineup.

IDK, Morgan had a couple bad reads on balls too.

Remember I'm a cards fan, keep running him out there!

PPPPPHHHHHBBBBBLLLLLLTTTT!!

I said during the regular season that the last team I wanted to see in the playoff was the Cardinals. They are like the Packers last year in football-super hot at the right time. I don't think the Crew will catch them, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them win it all. Gonna be a tough pill to swallow. Damn.

Whats funny is I was thinking before this series that I wanted to see AZ instead of you all. Not sure we can do it all, TX looking pretty tough, but we gotta get through this series first. Not sure why I used "we", I didn't do anything but watch the games! :cross:

 

[xsists]

If the Brewers can win tonight, it will be a different series. Guarantees them at least home field advantage and brings it down to a best of 3 series.

Has to happen tonight, or it ain't gonna happen.

That's pretty much what all the sports talk around STL is saying.

 

[smakudwn]

well after seeing the lineup for us, maybe TLR is trying to give you all a game Bernie ?
