10/13 Cardinals (Lackey) @ CUBS (HAMMEL), TBS, 3:37 CT

[Outshined_One]

I don't like this at all. The Cardinals bullpen is in significantly better shape than the Cubs. We need to score this inning.

 

Every non-Maness pitcher gave up a HR yesterday. They're not that great.

I don't know which batter but That sequence of pitches on the outside corner that kept missing was extremely annoying to watch.

[Sammys Boombox]

Cahill has got to get that pitch to Cruz down. Really pissed

[Soul]

"You gotta be happy for [Cruz]"? No, [expletive], I don't.

LOL, seriously hah.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Tony Cruz and Brandon Moss.

Never thought we would win this with a 2 run early lead, time to grab some more runs.

 

of course you didn't

I'm usually not one to second guess the manager - especially maddon - but i don't see why grimm and wood couldn't have each gone 2 innings today. you're playing with fire bringing in so many different pitchers when their predecessor has obviously been very good. oh well, go get some runs and win.

 

I don't have any doubts about going to Wood after 1 inning from Grimm. Top of the order is up, meeting that with a fresh arm is the right call, and Wood mowed them down.

 

Since I let Wood hit and the single he gave up was a blooper, I'd probably have left him in until another runner got on though.

hope the Cubs figure out that the Cards are on to the ambushing ways

Cahill wasn't very good during the season and he had been pitching well. It was only a matter of time I guess....

boy montero with a nice quick tag there

yep. and now they're back to the top of the order, which means every baserunner means another top of the order hitter comes up in the 9th too.

[Hawk4Hall]

Can't buy a freaking hit.

[Outshined_One]

These broken bat bloopers are annoying.

[UMFan83]

Come on, who is going to be the hero

[Tracer Bullet]

rodney warming.

[rocket]

Hopefully not Tony Cruz

that's fair. grimm just looked SO completely dominant I'd have liked to see him with one more inning (or at least start it). and i definitely wouldn't have pulled wood after the broken bat single. but hindsight is 20/20 so whatever.

[weis21]

are you [expletive] kidding me? did he get it off the end of the bat??

[UMFan83]

Wrong part of the park

[Outshined_One]

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh

Son of a b*tch that looked gone.
