Re: 5/19: Cubs (Lilly) at Cardinals (Pineiro): In play: Out(s)

[fromthestretch]

Wow, Nats pitching stats must be terrible. That O ain't half bad

 

Their pitching is terrible, especially the bullpen. They can't get anyone to close things out in the ninth when they have a lead.

 

Lannon and Martis aren't bad in the rotation. Neither is really the type you build a staff around, but they're both young and should get better. Jordan Zimmerman, who's only 23, should end up better than either of them. However, he still has a lot of work to do.

I was just handed a Luxury Suite ticket to this game...things are looking up today. :D

 

got any extra room in there ;)

 

 

I wish...its a client thing...sometimes I'd rather watch the games at home in these situations...the powers that be frown when I go all "ARE YOU @#$#@% @#%#@#@#$#@ @#$%@# Kidding me?" when Lilly gives up a bomb or the 7th inning gas can comes out and walks the first 2 guys in a one run game...something about impressing clients...I don't get it...

Here's the article from the P-D about Greene.

Yea I hate that. I'll get the box once a year from work, and it's the same thing. Luckily I never go to a Cubs game, otherwise I probably would have been disciplined by now.

If Pujols gets anything remotely hittable without at least have a 5 run lead Ill be very dissapointed.

5 runs is too close...make it 8.

[fiver]

when should a lineup for tonight be available?

[pitchcs]

when should a lineup for tonight be available?

 

 

Typically about an hour before game. May be a tad earlier tonight though since there was an off-day yesteday.

[NonProfitCow]

STL Lineup

 

1. Brendan Ryan, SS

2. Colby Rasmus, CF

3. Albert Pujols, 1B

4. Yadier Molina, C

5. Chris Duncan, LF

6. Nick Stavinoha, RF

7. Brian Barden, 3B

8. Joel Pineiro, P

9. Joe Thurston, 2B

 

This is going to be a long game.

Make it 12, Pujols can hit a 10 run home run with no one on base.

You forgot that the Cubs cant get Brian Barden out(2.000 OPS) so its like having 2 Pujols's in your lineup tonight.

I think I remember Fuku saying he would prefer hitting in the 3 spot right when he signed with us..What are his numbers there so far?

[Keener98]

Why is Fontenot ahead of Soto? Why is Miles in our [expletive] lineup? Ugh

I wanted Freel here two years ago when he was a super-utility player for the Reds. The guys plays hard, anywhere in the field, gets on base, steals bags.

 

Miles on the other hand... Remember Edmonds against the Cards last year? Maybe Lou is looking for some 'Former Cardinal' magic... :scratch:

[hossdriver]

I think I remember Fuku saying he would prefer hitting in the 3 spot right when he signed with us..What are his numbers there so far?

 

 

Dome has batted 2nd and 3rd this season, both with success... He has a higher OBP in 3rd taking more than twice as many walks and striking out less in a few more PAs... His power numbers and average are higher batting 2nd (1.100+ OPS vs. .900) with 6 2b, 3 hrs, and 9 RBI from the 2 hole...

 

Of note... Dome is 14/34 (.412) since taking the day off on May 6th... All from the 3 spot... 3 2bs and 1 3b but only 2 RBI from that spot...

[Friendly Confines]

I bet $10.00 on the yankees on centsports tonight

Theriot is hitting so many homeruns that no one is on base when Fukudome comes up to the plate

True... But Dome's splits suggest he is doing very will with Runners On and ISP... However, no power means he's only MOVING runners instead of driving them in...

Donde esta Freel?

[DiamondMind]

I don't know why you guys are pining for ryan freel so badly. I'd rather see Scales out there than freel or miles.

In 2006 speak, Scales is Theriot and Freel and Miles are Macias and Neifi. While we dont know what Scales is capable of, were already pretty confident that Freel and Miles are capable of nothing.
