[Keener98]

So I just had a Cardinal fan friend tell me ARam would hit 7th in the Cardinal lineup hahahaha. They really are the most intelligent fans in baseball

[Hall7810]

Good lord, just play Fox one game. He won't hurt us that badly.

 

Yes, he would. Hill's AB's stinks, but he plays too large a role behind the plate that Fox simply cannot do.

 

Lou said he really wanted to start Fox today, but with the Reds' running game, he obviously elected not to.

[TruffleShuffle]

i'm pretty sure that would've been a walk if hart didn't swing at any of the pitches.

He wouldn't start. They have Joe Thurston.

your bad for having friends who are cardinal fans.

[Cronos006]

The day he came back from his injury, maybe. But otherwise, 5th.

He's that bad?

 

People can run at will on him, he doesn't call a very good game and he has trouble with the whole catching the ball part of being a catcher.

[Schwarber Fan]

Ha! He's better than every player on their roster besides Pujols

 

Yet knowing LaRussa, he probably would bat 7th

[CubmanPi]

I figured out what your problem is.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Gomes struck out swinging

[Keener98]

He would bat 4th behind Pujols. Hes a better hitter than Holliday

[illiniguy]

agreed. pujols and rammy together would be scary.

Yea kind of hard to help it when you live in Central IL

yeah it's a catch 22 because you probably need the extra offense with hart on the mound, but you're also going to have a lot of baserunners on and you need someone who can at least try to control the running game and catch the ball.

Taking into account his slightly down season so far, you might make an argument.

 

Otherwise, no.

Doesnt Hart have the least movement on his pitches though? That's what I would think would be the biggest issue.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Hairston struck out swinging

[Careless]

What exactly is the goal of the chick with the "Kiss me, it's my birthday" button on her chest?

[Guest]

Nice inning.

[TruffleShuffle]

wow we got a reds catcher out

[Schwarber Fan]

See Hart, throwing strikes works better

[JonJayCutler]

Well that was unexpected.
