WS: Cardinals vs. Tigers

[UK1679666180]

So far Bonderman has made Suppan throw 12 pitches thru 2 ABs.

Listening to Buck and McCarver is making my ears bleed.

[cubweiser03]

Sign me up for Team Freebird. God I love women.

Just came back from dinner and thats what i see. :)

[cubweiser03]

You know what i like about Bonderman? He throws HARD not just fast. FN HARD!

[UK1679666180]

Does Fox have to keep a camera on the manager while they are interviewing him?

 

Are they expecting viewers to be confused as to whom it is?

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Wilson will swing at anything, won't he?

[treebird]

more like yadiAINT

[Brian]

get molina off the roids or whatever he's doing.

[UK1679666180]

Another misplay by Detroit might've cost them a run as Monroe played that ball poorly. Had Rolen stayed at 1B, Wilson GIDP.

[Geech]

I don't get intentionally walking the number 8 hitter. Unless you're playing the Yankees or something, it just doesn't make a lot of sense.

[cubweiser03]

Rolen is getting old. still good but man he is aging before our eyes.

I'm really tempted to go catch up up with The Office episodes I've missed this season rather than continue with the game.

Dont you do that with 2 outs and man in scoring position? Seems good to me.

[treebird]

edmonds needs to warn duncan about that slick spot, something bad could have happened

Or you could watch the Clemson-VT game. VT is up 17-7 in the third quarter.

Lasorda will throw every cuss word at you if you do.

Unless he falls asleep instead. :)

Makes sense when the number 9 hitter is the pitcher.

When the number 8 hitter is Aaron Miles? I really doubt that. It's not like you need to worry about getting a double play or something. I suppose it's possible that walking a guy like Miles to face the pitcher has a negative effect on the Cards run-scoring chances, but I'm skeptical.

[Geech]

WTG, P-Rod.

[UK1679666180]

I would've let the pitcher pitch to the #8 hitter, I'd rather take my chances of Miles vs. Suppan compared to the next inning of facing Suppan and then Eckstein, rather than Eckstein, Wilson, and Pujols. With the way Duncan has been hitting (or hasn't hit), Pujols would likely leadoff the inning after that.

[UK1679666180]

Bonderman has fooled Pujols tonight and he pitches scared to him in the 3rd AB.

[UK1679666180]

Bonderman is a change-up away from becoming one of the best in baseball.

[Geech]

Chris Duncan should have told Edmonds not to swing at that pitch.

Thats always the gamble and sometime worth the risk. I play it safe and count on bonderman doing his work and making them 'start over' the next inning. If the pitcher sucked i might take the risk, but id play it safe in the WS. Your up by a run.
