6/3 Cubs (Rusch) @ Cards (Mulder) 3:05 CT on FOX

[anemic offense]

I don't remember Mulder pitching this poorly. Ever. I'm sure he has, but I haven't seen it.

 

Actually the Cubs have rocked him pretty good at least two other times. And remember, some of those runs in the 5 runner were gifts from Cardinal errors. However that doesn't sugarcoat the fact Mark's pitched VERY poorly

[anemic offense]

.196, I guess he already is below 200

[anemic offense]

A bases loaded walk by Neifi would be icing on the cake

[Brian]

any pitcher that walks Neifi, deserves a DFA.

[nilodnayr]

any pitcher that walks Neifi, deserves a DFA.

 

Any manager that doesnt pinch hit Walker in this situation deserves to be fired.

Neifi is awful.

[Sarcastic]

And Neifi fights off two bad pitches, leading to a popout.

[anemic offense]

Neifi is awful.

 

He's got on base once. Cut him some slack :)

[Brian]

Walker walks in that AB.

[anemic offense]

And Neifi fights off two bad pitches, leading to a popout.

 

I don't know whether to laugh or get sick.

[Balsa]

Cardinals might be desperate for power hitting 1B, we have Nevin......

 

This could be interesting.

[emoore]

Why didn't Dusty bat Walker for Perez? 10 times out of 10 he would have PH Perez for Walker in that situation. What a joke.

[RonnieWooWooSanto]

He's being consistent. He wants Neifi up at the plate. Don't ask me why.
