I'm on it.

Anyone interested in talking about this game in the chat room?

[MikeG]

Check out the "Enhanced" Gameday on mlb.com. It's supposed to show the pitch in 3D. It'll be interesting to see this work once the game starts.

Thanks for the info.

[UMFan83]

Is Todd Walka in the lineup?

[MikeG]

Holy crap ... the Enhanced Gameday is amazing.

 

It shows the release point along with the velocity and measure of break on the pitch. You can also go back to previous at bats and it will run through the entire pitch sequence.

 

This is next level stuff.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Wow, good tip on the new Gameday. It looks good.

Yeesh, St. Louis has to start Jeff Weaver in game 2?

[soccer10k]

I predict Albert Pujols wins this series 3 games to 1.

[mjohnson71]

Supposedly he's been good on the road.

Petco is good for pitchers too.

Berman announces games like they are HR hitting contests.

Bellhorn up with bases loaded, one out.

 

Wanna guess what he did?

Strikeout! Shocking.

I also remember what he did in Game 1 of '04 WS against Julian.

[ToupeeOnFire]

How could you have Bellhorn up in that situation? I can't think of a worse player I would want to have batting in that situation (maybe Neifi).

 

Scratch Bochy off the list of potential managerial candidates.

So you'd send up Bowen or Klesko?

Klesko does have a 1.833 OPS on the year. :)

Orel: Pujols could take over this series by himself.

 

Ummm, no. Pujols could hit 4 home runs in 4 at-bats, but if no one else gets on base and the pitchers give up 5 runs, the Cards will lose every game 5-4. So, you're wrong.

Hey, don't you know that the eleventh commandment is 'Thou shalt not dismiss the talent of Albert Pujols'? I saw it on the history channel one day on a show called "Secrets of Christianity". No seriously. It's true.

From the Sports Guy's diary on Monday:

 

2:44 -- Just briefly passed out during the in-game interview with La Russa. Hey, did you know our starters for Game 2 are Jeff Weaver and David Wells. Are you kidding me? Jeff Weaver and David Wells????? That's a playoff game??????????? They should be showing this series on OLN 2.
