Please don't suck.

We sacrificed Mike Olt to the BABIP gods apparently.
-
BABIP is a love/hate relationship.
-
Also loving the real bunts.

Not a strike, but sit down you [expletive].

No. 1

As far as leaping catches goes, THAT ONE WAS PRETTY LAZY!
-
Please for a singular run.
-
Sweet.

Mr. Arrieta is a sexy, sexy man.

And that one off the end of the bat right through the hole.
-
More bloops...by the pitcher...

This game is rolling so far.

On the bright side I'm going to try to incorporate the term "dumbling" in day-to-day life whenever possible. I hope your response was, "No, no, no, maybe?, no, no, ok, no, nope."

Cespedes had a nice leaping catch at the wall today to rob Kurt Suzuki of a home run. http://m.mlb.com/news/article/116579162/left-fielder-yoenis-cespedes-robs-twins-of-a-home-run-in-tigers-debut

Agreed, most counts were worked pretty well and would have likely resulted in more baserunners had the strike zone not been all over the place (at least two really bad called 3rd strikes on Rizzo and Castro). Had some solid contact that couldn't seem to find open field. A couple of warning track flyouts by Ross and Coghlan too that would probably have been in the seats in June. Disappointing opener, but Cardinals gonna Cardinal. It's still going to be a fun season.

Fangraphs talked about this in an article last September: http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/instagraphs/jon-lester-pickoff-throws-but/ Basically when runners do attempt a steal against him, they're slightly more successful than average (77 vs 73%), but it's also true that he has slightly fewerSB attempts against him than the average pitcher (5.5 vs 5.9%), which they chalked up to several different factors such as a quick delivery, mixing up his timing and footwork slightly, and the fact that being a lefty makes a good pickoff attempt possible if he does decide to try it at some point. As others have said, I don't think we should be concerned at all until it becomes a real issue.

Feels like a yep on both.
-
That was unpleasant.
-
That won't fly. You know STL is the only team allowed to accuse an opponent of cheating. Letting them continue to use an illegal delivery is the right way to play the game. Full of honor and stuff.
