i am enjoying a bumbling and stumbling cardinals team very much Edited September 23, 2016 by David

I love kicking these guys' asses

[Andy]

Omg faceburger. So great

[UMFan83]

And that is why I'm not particularly scared of any of the WC teams

[stitchface]

at least Kolten has a sense of humor. rare for a cardinal

[Tim]

omg - I need that gif/vine

[David]

serious question

 

if true and obvious god mode jake shows up today and in his last start, do you consider pitching him in game 1 or 2?

 

Consider? Yes, but still probably don't. Hendricks is better at home and I'm not pushing Lester back.

 

i am not convinced that this is an actual thing, despite the splits

Its soooooo much better knowing they are playing for their playoff lives and our guys are more focused on making sure the PA guy plays 'Forever Young' during Rizzo's first PA

Bryant must have taken Yadi out for an all night bender last night

If Lester goes game 1, Hendricks and Arrietas spots don't really matter and Hendricks has been so good at home I'm willing to let it be a deciding factor.

What'd Molina do?

[Derwood]

What'd Molina do?

 

let a low slider go right between his legs which allowed a run to score

[Tim]

What'd Molina do?

He half-assed two balls in the dirt. The first let the run score, the second let Rizzo go to third, which caused the IF to come in, which let Zobrist's ball to get through for the third run.

FWIW, taking a quick glance of the stats tells me Hendricks was much better at home last year as well, and had better numbers at home in 2014 but the peripherals were better on the road that year.
