Unearned run against Marquis. Cardinals down 3-1 with the bases loaded and 1 out with Pujols (3-3) on deck. -
Inauspicious start for sure. How many 0-2 hits will Marquis give up today...
-
Dont worry as soon as we blow it open Marquis will do his best to blow it That's exactly why I hoped we could blow it open. This will be inning number 6 for Marquis. You can start thinking about using the pen soon if he struggles.
-
Man we just need that one timely hit to blow this open.
-
7 BB now.
-
I believe 103 pitches.
-
Which is the goal. Once he solidifys himself in the starting lineup with double steals, bunting for hits and excessive scrappiness, he can get back to working the count and putting solid wood on a majority of the pitches he swings at.
-
I am probably making excuses, but it might have something to do with the league switch. Or just sample size.
-
.305 .371 .452 .823 You won't take that as a lefty-masher line from half of a CF platoon? Id like to know where you are getting those numbers from because they arent Reed Johnsons against a lefty. .255 .375 .298!!!! for a .673 OPS is his numbers on the year. His OPS against a lefty is barely better than his OPS against a righty. Those are probably his career numbers, which indicate a much larger sample size than his numbers this year.

Which is why we have the best run differential in baseball, and they aren't keeping up despite a lucky-hot start. Still only 2 games behind though. After 1/4 of the season. So we are projected to finish 8 games ahead of them. This after seemingly everything has gone right for them (besides their injured pitchers)
-
C'mon Reed.
-
I'd be worried if pitchers exclusively threw Soto breaking balls, because he does not look good with them.
-
Great, isn't it? This is what it looks like when you are legitimately one of the best teams in baseball, not just a decent team hoping 88 wins is enough to sneak into the playoffs. Compare that to the Cardinals who have lost 9: 2 of them are 1 run games 2 of them have been 2 run games 5 of them have been by more than 2 runs
-
What does everyone think Fukudome's final line this year will be? Remember to try to balance out your surely pessmistic thoughts of him right now. .295/.398/.412 is my guess.
-
It's amazing how we are usually in every game this year. In May we have lost 7 games: 3 of them have been 1 run games 3 of them have been 2 run games (all 3 of them by the score of 5-3) 1 of them has been more than 2 run games (9-0 to the Reds)
-
Fixed.
-
It's amazing that we've managed to score 15 runs with absolutely 0 hits from our 3-4-5 hitters this series. That makes it 0-26 from Lee, Ramirez, Fukudome this weekend.
-
0-24 for Lee, Ramirez, Fukudome this series.
-
Haha, I thought that was gone. Hey Marquis, the secret to success is NOT FALLING BEHIND 2-0 AND 3-1 TO EVERY DAMN HITTER.
-
I hear you. But I also hate when they lose during a hard week. At least on the weekend you don't have to goto work the next day (except today)
-
0-10 for Lee 0-7 for ARam 0-5 for Fukudome 0-22 combined this series.
-
When is Lee going to get a day off? He's actually hurting the team right now big time.
-
When is the last time Cedeno swung at the first pitch? It seems like every AB they throw him a first pitch strike and he takes it. I'm definitely not complaining, don't worry.
-
What will get him to make a change? Maybe if Marquis agrees to void the last year of his contract.
-
Marquis needs to stop playing baseball for the Chicago Cubs.
