OT - I'm bored, Part Tanev

[Darkstone42]

Offensively, they will. Especially with Berkman out now. But their pitching could help them out of it.

I still don't think they finish higher than the Reds.

 

[pixburgher66]

Burnett has settled in nicely.

 

[KillerVee]

So tired but must not nap!

 

[pixburgher66]

And I can't even explain how much it ticks me off that the Cards magically get offense from guys they shouldn't. *glards at David Freese* WHY DOES THAT ONLY HAPPEN TO THE ALREADY GREAT TEAMS?!

 

[Darkstone42]

His stuff is very good. After those first three hitters, his location has been, too.

He's the strikeout pitcher we've needed in our rotation, too.

 

[pixburgher66]

Another K. Sweetness.

You are getting sleepy.


Sleeeepy!

 

[pixburgher66]

4Ks in 3 innings.

 

[Darkstone42]

Another K. Sweetness.

I think that's the first borderline strike call that's gone our way this season.


It looked low to me, but I'll take it!


Now let's get the bats going. Cutch crushed that liner, so he might be on Westbrook. I'd like to see yesterday's Tabata, though. And at least Alvarez put the ball in play.

But...but...sharks game...

and then my derby team is streaming their game live in Denver in an hour...

can't go to sleeep.....

 

[pixburgher66]

Gosh the bottom of our lineup is atrocious. Barmes, Barajas, Pitcher. I am happy that they're putting the ball in play though, a couple hard outs.

 

[pixburgher66]

Barajas makes me eat a small bit of crow...and hey! A 4-pitch walk to AJ!

Take a nap before it starts!

Well, two of those guys got on.

I also like that Burnett, face bloody, said, "This ain't over yet!" as he was taken off the field during the bunting competition.

 

[pixburgher66]

Scoring threat...come on Jose.

 

[Darkstone42]

He's got to hit eventually. He's hit his whole career.

 

[pixburgher66]

Gah...GAHHHH...COME ON Tabata.

 

[Darkstone42]

What happened to him? Two years ago as a rookie, he hit constantly. Last year, he started a little slow, but he heated up very quickly before getting hurt. Since the injury, he hasn't been able to hit at all.

He also isn't having fun anymore. You can see it on his face. He used to smile all the time.

 

[pixburgher66]

We need another bat desperately. I really think it's time for Marte.

I dunno...I really thought he was part of the future core, but he's looking more and more like the odd man out in the outfield. Cutch, Presley, and *insert future player (Marte) here* He has to perform, because Marte is knocking on the door, and he could be losing his spot.

 

[Darkstone42]

I don't want Marte until he's absolutely ready. I don't want another Pedro debacle because we get desperate and call him up early.


Also, Burnett's power curve looks fantastic.
