Why? You got the meat of the lineup coming up, and Womack is almost as good as a leadoff guy. It was a 2-0 pitch and I like our chances next inning with no outs and Womack leading off.
Cards announcers: "And Bennett goes out to talk to Marquis, probably saw something he didn't like" Gee might that have been 6 straight balls that weren't even close?
I really like that lineup, especially with Nevin as pop off the bench. Although, I would actually move Jones up. But pretty close to perfect. Imagine how much better our lineup will be once DLee comes back in a couple weeks.
While I don't like Maddux's history against the Cubs in the past, he's pwned them this year, and plus, having Pujols out of the lineup weakens everyone. AND, we've got monsters splits vs. Marquis. I like our odds for the sweep.
Worried about those walks, but good news that he doesn't give up many long balls. Of course, we've seen from Rich Hill that minor league numbers don't always relate to major league numbers..... :?
They're pretty much forced to start him after he scored that hat trick....Which according to my English friend is not a good thing for them since they reckon he's not actually that good of a player.
