Series Thread: Pirates vs Cardinals

[Clayton]

I think our defense, esp our outfield defense is our biggest advantage in the series.

This series is all about the Home Run ball, imo.

Ya that is one big strike zone, probably a low scoring game

 

[Darkstone42]

It almost seems to be getting bigger...

 

[Clayton]

NL playoff teams dont need big strike zones. Pitching is how we all got here

 

[Darkstone42]

Looks like both teams are content to run up the pitch counts early on. Of course, most of these pitches are "on the edge."

 

[Etrius24]

scoring some runs early would be nice so Liriano can cruise and we can set up the bullpen to give us the best chance possible in game 4.... Facing wainwright is a major obstacle...

 

[Darkstone42]

That was a rope off Morneau's bat. Kelly getting a glove on it ended up actually costing the Cards an extra base to Morneau.

Come on, Byrdman!

if cutch was just rounding 2nd by one step, he would have been awarded home.
he was standing on the base as te throw was being made.
mental error.

 

[steelparrot]

wow nice start

 

[Darkstone42]

Byyyyyyrdman!

 

[sychmd]

what a start.
now we need a shut down inning to really keep and accelerate the momentum.

 

[dare2be]

"Kelly" doesn't sound quite as good as "Cueto"

excellent inning.

Liriano looks very sharp early.

 

[Etrius24]

Go bucs Go...

Morneau does not hit for much power anymore.. but his average and plate discipline are a welcomed addition to this team...

Let's just keep going...

 

[Etrius24]

Be back in a bit... Cooking supper and trying to watch the game at the same time... So no time for posting guys...

GO BUCS GO

Walking Frankie is a big mistake. Let's make him pay.

 

[Darkstone42]

Or not.

 

[dare2be]

He was out at third.

We shall overcome.

 

[Darkstone42]

I thought the same thing. And then he ends up scoring. Typical.

 

[obxyankeefan]

He was out at third.

Looked like he was tagged before his foot got in
