    Yeah you really don't want a 6 pitch inning there Now Strasburg can go 8 or maybe 9

    Cardinals SOS - .499 Cubs SOS -.494 If you consider the "good" NL teams outside of STL and CHC to be the Nats, Mets, Pirates, Giants and Dodgers, the Cardinals have played 22 games against those 5 teams, the Cubs 20 games.

    Strasburg is like begging for us to light him up.
  4. UMFan83
    Rizzo is going to do some damage here...or not
  5. UMFan83
    Yeah it doesn't necessarily mean you are a bad player. In fact, it can sometimes be a sign that you make a lot of contact and don't strike out a ton.

    He just took the team lead ahead of Zobrist with 7, which is tied for 30th in baseball. DJ LaMahieu and Albert Pujols are tied for the MLB lead with 12 GIDP

    [expletive] Heyward. Cubs have 4 hits and a walk in 3 innings but Strasburg has only faced 2 over the minimum and only thrown 48 pitches.
  8. UMFan83
    Strasburg is trying to nibble and his command isn't completely there which is a really really bad combination against this Cubs team.
  9. UMFan83
    I thought it was off the bat :( But I'm watching on a grainy feed so, what do I know
  10. UMFan83
    Yeah Strasburg isn't impressive today. Makes me even more upset that we gave him 2 outs on the basepaths. We could have had him at 60 pitches after this inning.
  11. UMFan83
    Because walking is for pussies
  12. UMFan83
    Another shitty thing about this is the fact that Strasburg will probably conserve 10-12 pitches because of those 2 outs on the basepaths
  13. UMFan83
    Lost in that stupidity was that was a nice drive by Almora

    What the horsefeathers are we doing out there today? Jesus
  16. UMFan83
    It wasn't a great pitch by Hammel but someone who could get out of their crouch quicker would have gotten that relatively easily imo
  17. UMFan83
    It's his back, he's trying to play through it and is slowing down every reaction behind the plate leading to passed balls, wild pitches, inability to throw out base stealers, etc.
  18. UMFan83
    What the horsefeathers Miggy, jesus horsefeathering christ, if your back is hurting horsefeathering go on the DL stop killing us behind the plate. You can't just piss away runs with Strasburg pitching
  19. UMFan83
    Pretty sure I remember Rick Wilkins throw out a baserunner once in the early 90's
  20. UMFan83
    It's definitely not a retrospect thing OK maybe not, but its one of those things where I could see people saying 'way to be aggressive to try and get to Strasburg before he settles in' if it works.
  21. UMFan83
    This is probably a retrospect thing, but I'm not sure why you run with Rizzo up and the first 3 batters getting good contact off Strasburg
  22. UMFan83
    Good way to start the game :)
  23. UMFan83
