Great read on how racist the Braves are (and not for their super racist chop, for once!)

Fredi should see this.

 

[eznark]

Why can't RoidRage McCann put his needle-induced rage to good use and punch Brian Wilson in the face?

 

[vas_a_morir]

Anybody interested in this Pirates/Cards game?

 

[RGVNOE]

Anybody interested in this Pirates/Cards game?

Probably everyone who's a fan of either team

Anybody interested in this Pirates/Cards game?

The winner today could very well win the series since Liriano is virtually untouchable when he pitches against the Cards.

 

[BFIB]

Cole scares me. A pitcher the Cards have never seen.

 

[zychi]

I'm really annoyed that mlb.tv doesn't cover the postseason, and all of the internet streams are garbage.

 

[harSon]

Cole scares me. A pitcher the Cards have never seen.

Our hitting scares me. We're on that strike out kick again...

 

[RGVNOE]

Wow 2 misplays on the field, damn you dont need to give Pit more outs

 

[BFIB]

A misread by Jay, and easy catch for Molina. Lynn can be a mental midget, here's hoping he can work past this.

 

[BFIB]

well. thats why you have to make that catch. Good AB by Cole. Mental midget? Mental midget.

 

[RGVNOE]

Fastball down the middle, damn matheny

Hope Lynn doesn't start his meltdown here

Getting out with minimal damage. Still should be watched close another inning like this an Matheny should get someone else in

 

[jakncoke]

wtf tbs is playing american dad and not the game

 

[chuckddd]

The game is already going on? Diaf, Bud Selig.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

So much for working through it...

 

[harSon]

Cole's bat is legit

 

[BFIB]

Shit, Dodged a bullet there. Lynn scares the shit out of me every time he starts.

 

[darkside31337]

MLB Network!

I wish all the games were on MLB Network. So much better than TBS.

 

[RGVNOE]

Yea I feel like whenever he pitches we need at least 4 runs to have a shot at winning

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Well, at least one team's defense came to play today.

Bud Selig and the old farts wonder how they got surpassed by the NFL, its shit like this(actually they dont because they have delusioned themselves into think baseball is still #1)

HOLY SHIT YESSS EL TUROOOOO

Gameday for you I guess

 

[weekend_warrior]

See ya! 3-0!

 

[RGVNOE]

This should be Lynn's last inning

 

[harSon]

This should be Lynn's last inning

Maybe you guys will channel Hurdle and keep him in another 3-4 runs.

 

[BFIB]

Fuck. This is the exact reason why I felt the Cards needed one more veteran pitcher at the deadline. Can't rely on Lynn to carry, dude is fucking terrible in games when it counts.

 

[jakncoke]

Gameday for you I guess

Yeah right. Im way too advanced in this game to settle for a gameday. But that doesnt mean a bunch of casual internet users will miss this game.

 

[RGVNOE]

Maybe you guys will channel Hurdle and keep him in another 3-4 runs.

I hope not, but we'll see what Matheny does

 

[Little Green Yoda]

That's probably the game unless Cole implodes.

 

[BFIB]

That's probably the game unless Cole implodes.

Nah, its still early, and the Cards will pick up things on the 2nd time through the order. But we can't give up any more from here on out. Need to pull Lynn now, but Matheny tends to stick w/ his pitcher, my guess is he's back out there.

Sounds like Hurdle


Also Vas how happy are you now. Who do you want, top 5 wishlist for manager

 

[RGVNOE]

Horrible at bat by Marp letting 2 pitches down the middle go right by

 

[Dominican Power]

Cole is learning that missing bats is the way.

 

[jakncoke]

lol arod suing mlb for buying anthony bosch cooperation

 

[BFIB]

Horrible at bat by Marp letting 2 pitches down the middle go right by

Cards have a great approach. But there's 2 things they don't hit well:

Lefties that work down in the zone
Pitchers they have never seen before

 

[RGVNOE]

Matheny is letting Lynn stay in this ballgame

 

[BFIB]

We're fucked.

 

[RGVNOE]

That at bat by Marp showed nothing good in the approach, I don't think it should matter if they've seen a pitcher or not letting 2 pitches in the strike zone go by without an attemp at swinging is never good.

 

[Dominican Power]

I can't believe The Cardinals still haven't called up Taveras. They're just gonna get better.

 

[BFIB]

I can't believe The Cardinals still haven't called up Taveras. They're just gonna get better.

He's out for the year.

And I wonder if MCarp might be hurt a little.

 

[RGVNOE]

I can't believe The Cardinals still haven't called up Taveras. They're just gonna get better.

He had season ending surgery earlier this year

 

[BFIB]

Yikes. Clear ball 4. Dude is dealing and getting the calls. we're in trouble.

 

[jakncoke]

lol ump

 

[Dominican Power]

what pitches does Cole have

 

[eznark]

what pitches does Cole have

a fastball

 

[BFIB]

what pitches does Cole have

Ones the Cards can't hit.

 

[eznark]

I think last I looked he throws his fastball like 60% of the time and mixes up four standard os pitches the rest.

He getting better at mixing in his off speed pitches. He is just a rookie and should of been in AAA learning this stuff. If not for injuries and Johnathan Sanchez he would of.
