Phew...Moses pitching in traffic...not a clean inning yet.

If by "the Cards are" you mean "Blanco is" and by "one tough pitching staff" you mean "a useless bunter"

then we agree

I was referring to the opponent's batting average with RISP and two outs (.174) by the Cardinals, but, based on that at-bat by Blanco, yes I think that is a true statement.

He got out of it but that pitch count is rapidly climbing. He needs to stop going full count against most of the Cardinals.

 

[LHG]

Come on guys, start working the count against Wacha.

Crawford to Blanco: "You are supposed to get it on the ground like this."

 

[tzill]

Sigh...just another five and dive from the weak link....

 

[tzill]

Thank Bonds Bum has thrown a couple of CGs....

 

[LHG]

Are we sure that Hacktor isn't wearing a Susac disguise?

 

[tzill]

Whelp, I'm feeling poopy

Whelp, I'm feeling poopy

Can you wait a few more batters before you feel a turtle popping out?

 

[LHG]

Okay, the wheels are starting to wobble.

 

[tzill]

five and dive not an option. Four and no more.

#weaklink.

 

[LHG]

Wong won't be in any rush to swing at anything outside the zone.

 

[tzill]

Four innings of general mediocrity. Bring on Biggie.

Heston will be out for the 5th. However, will he finish the 5th?

 

[LHG]

If only Tomlinson was batting 1 through 7 as well. Only one looked good against Wacha.

 

[LHG]

At least Heston is getting it done at the plate.

My how soon we forget...

 

[LHG]

Oh Heston. Why? Why?

It just sucks baseball introduced the new rule that as soon as you are trailing by a run after five innings, the game is automatically over.
