Larry and Lou need to stay away from Hill. Change his mechanics so he's quicker to the plate, well done fellas. -

This is getting depressing Rich. Throw strikes por favor. -
They need to stop throwing him mulitple innings. Two of those 4 outings he was great through one or 1+ innings, and when they sent him out there to start yet another inning, he gave up runs.
-
He already said "journalism people".

Nice to see Coleman and Jackson sign. They're the two second day picks I'm most intrigued about.

Look at his minor league success. He was very, very, very good as a starter. Show me who will get batters out reliably like Marmol in the 8th inning, and I'll support a move to the rotation for him. It's not like Lou hasn't been trying to find someone else to help in that regard. Nobody on our current roster has been able to be as reliable in that role. You understand we're talking about '09, right? Guys pop up and become good to great relievers all the time. Marmol and Wuertz are examples of this on our roster alone. Good to great starters do not come out of nowhere unless they're instructed by Dave Duncan, so it might be more efficient to use Marmol in the rotation. And Marmol has a 3rd pitch, a changeup, that he doesn't need to use in the pen. It's not filthy, and still needs some refinement, but it's not as if he was a 2 pitch pitcher throughout the minors.
-
Fuentes is a good reliever, but I wouldn't give up too much in resources to get him. The odds of one or two guys among Eyre, Howry, Ascanio, Wuertz, and even Wells or Marshall pitching well out of the pen is quite high. It's up to Lou to use them, and understand that you can't have a pen full of completely dominant relievers like Wood and Marmol, so patience is necessary with the other middle relievers.
-
Exciting game thus far, Portugal and the Czechs scoring within the first 20 mins.
-
For every bit you can expect Dempster to fall, you can expect Lilly to rise. And that's not including the benefit we get if Hill starts throwing strikes again.

What's gotten into the Cardinals?

Wainwright's turn in the rotation hasn't been missed yet, and they haven't played a game without Pujols yet. -
You've got it backwards. Keep Wood healthy in the pen, move Marmol to the rotation.
-
At least there's no Finals game tonight. By the end of the Sunday game I was sure they were just going to put up a screen that said "THE NBA FINALS ARE OVER ON ABC" instead of showing the 9th inning. I also had no idea that Jurrjens was Dutch.
-
No when you move the DH to the field you can't make someone else the DH. huh. what if the DH gets hurt? can someone off your bench become the DH? Yes, you can pinch hit for the DH as much as you want. None of those guys can go in the field though, or whoever they replace will have the pitcher hit in their spot.

Before or after Ascanio? -
haha, strike one to Lilly was closer to hitting him than the plate
-
I want to fight you Doug Eddings
-
He was helped off the field.
-
seriously, how can you be a major league centerfielder and take that bad of an angle to the ball, I almost laughed at Johnson
-
hahaha, what a terrible angle Johnson took to that ball
-
he's on pace for 40 homers and his OPS is over 1.000 such bull crap Two seasons ago, Geovany Soto had never posted an OPS better than .750 in the minors. We get our share, too. He's a 25 year old catching prospect. Ludwick's a 29 year old outfielder with more than a full season's worth of playing time spanning 5 seasons.
-
Welcome!
-
haha, I'm honestly surprised that 1-1 pitch was called a ball and it was a foot outside
-
there are no words anymore we have questec here right?
