Look at that frame job. -
This guy is like the Michael Wuertz of curveballs.
-
Every time Heyward has one or two games where he looks like he might be headed in the right direction, he follows that up with five or six games that look worse than ever.
-
I have a terrible feeling that the Cardinals are going to get the last laugh when they sign Fowler in the offseason and we are stuck with Heyward.
-
He hit it in the air!
-
Their closer has thrown 10 times as many pitchers as ours.
-
How was that not a strike?
-
I'm not saying Chapman shouldn't have stayed in, but this game is much more important to the Cardinals than it is to the Cubs. The Cubs had the luxury of choosing not to do what the Cardinals had to do.
-
That sure looked like a foul ball to me.
-
I could be completely wrong, but my non-expert opinion is that Chapman's body language in the dugout indicated he told them he didn't want to pitch a 2nd inning.
-
3 pitches... Alrighty, then!
-
Love the "Javy" chant!
-
Does he have any options left?
-
Edwards... and then maybe Grimm. Grimm has been very good since his early implosions.Made no sense to send him to AAA. He lacks "funk,"
-
Joe Smith, ladies and gentlemen
-
If only there was another left hander in the bullpen...
-
4 batters, 3 hits
-
These Wood/Smith appearances in the 7th and 8th innings are going to be torture.
-
I feel like listening to that last inning on the radio didn't do it justice.
-
Ugh. How is this a bad thing? We have a 12 game lead and a relief pitcher who's had injuries in the past. We have a manager is concerned with not burning guys' arms out. It has nothing to do with the Carl Edwards part of the quote. I'm just not a fan of Joe Smith. Ultimately, it doesn't matter right now, but I will be disappointed if Smith makes the playoff roster at the expense of a guy like Grimm.
-
Ugh. They were saying on the score this morning that even though Edwards is going to see higher leverage spots, he isn't going to necessarily see an innings uptick (i.e. back to back days or 4 appearances in 5 days) because they still want to be careful with him since he had some injury problems in the minors. That makes sense. I just don't want Joe Smith having any part of "late innings".
-
Ugh.
-
I'm not sure that one is any better than the other? His right knee would be the leg he pushes off with.
-
This is pretty good news. Assuming 6 weeks from tomorrow, that still leaves a couple weeks to get ready for the playoffs.
-
The upcoming 4 game series at Wrigley could be the final nail in the coffin. Take 3 out of 4 and then coast to the finish line.
