No MVP, no Herk, PV on DL with "lower back strain" aka "too old to be effective."

Chop those chopping chops.

6-2 good guys.

Dogs just beat the Chubs 3-2. Going to have to win tonight to keep pace. This Urias kid (only 20) looks for real.

I'm thinking 5 and dive from Suarez is a reasonable result.

I will be OK with 5 from Suarez. This should be a bully game, and against Atlanta, that should be alright.

Why was Belt scratched?

 

[SFGRTB]

CRAW-Oppo!

 

[SFGRTB]

Why was Belt scratched?

Still neck


(probably from turning to argue the umpire too much)

Pasta salad.

Can't be too upset. Folty has averaged 5.2 IP per start with a 4.55 ERA so far this year. Dude is a shoe-in for CY. Of course he would shut us down today.

The air was knocked out of the park after that fat fastball placed on a tee to Kemp - purely bad pitching like that makes it difficult to get any positive momentum going.

Good news is that both STL and MIA have lost today.

 

[Stokes1931]

0-4 against the worst team in baseball.



And three lousy hits? Thought this team had turned some sort of corner the last two games. Still three more chances to score some runs.

C''mon Brownie...

 

[calsnowskier]

Anyone surprised?

This guy IS the leading candidate for NL CY this year, right?

Why is it sooo many mediocre pitches have the best starts of their year against this team?

 

[1phlapdown]

Yay a friggin' hit!!!
