OT: Lets Go Birds! (All Baseball Talk Here)

[MissouriMook]

The Cardinals have scored one run in two games. That's not a sustainable way to win ballgames.

Perhaps even worse is the fact that they have only 9 singles, two walks and a double while striking out 19 times in those two games. Their approach to hitting is awful, and I’m not sure anyone had a worse day today than Shildt. We would have had a better chance today with Matheny calling the shots.

Matheny? That is an horrific thought.

 

[The Note]

The offense was my biggest fear coming into the series and they’ve done nothing to assuage that concern. Wouldn’t be surprised if today’s the last day of the season.

 

[Halak Ness Monster]

Nah he just had one blow up.

Before Game 1, Carlos had allowed a run in just 1 of his previous 17 games. It was the blow up in Chicago. He came back strong in his final 5 games after that.

I was wrong. He blew up again

 

[SwivelSchwartz]

Just win today.

 

[Halak Ness Monster]

Just win today.

Exactly. Just get it to Flaherty in Game 5!

Lol. I wouldn't go that far.

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

Ozuna doesn't want the season to end just yet

 

[Vladys Gumption]

So glad I just watched Yadi and carpenter give away three runs.

 

[Note Worthy]

Ridiculous. But Mo and front office won't do anything because wE mAdE tHe PlAyOfFs.

 

[TheDizee]

I'm so glad Carpenter is providing elite offense. What a great move by our manager to insert him into the lineup.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

I don’t understand why carpenter is playing? Everybody knows we can’t out slug the braves. So why on gods earth would you significantly downgrade your defense at two critical positions to get a guy in the lineup who’s done f*** all the entire season offensively?

Lotta bad decisions these past two games.

 

[TheDizee]

He's one of shildts "guys". Same reason matheny kept throwing Allen Craig into the lineup once his bat speed died, they don't care about reality.

Because he's "our guy", man. We can't have anyone with hurt feelings out there. We're not worried about winning. We're worried about sticking up for "our guys".

 

[TheDizee]

Now he let's Webb, a left handed specialist, lead off a inning after he has already done his job last inning. Could care less if it works out or not, it's just bad managing. Webb is not a good pitcher.

This guy is a an amateur manager and has no clue what he's doing. I think I hate him more than matheny.

 

[Note Worthy]

Carpenter has to call off Molina there. This team. I swear.

They would get killed by the Dodgers anyway.

 

[TheDizee]

Nice catch by Carpenter there, oh wait he dropped it. And it leads to a Walk now.

Gg shildt.

 

[TheDizee]

Bases loaded all because our third baseman can't catch a foul ball.

Braves score here it's over cause this team likely won't score 2 runs anyways.

 

[The Note]

That Carpenter contract is such a mess.

 

[TheDizee]

Nice job Fowler.

 

[Note Worthy]

The Cardinals are going to error their way right to the offseason.

 

[Spear]

That Carpenter contract is such a mess.

Mo better make some serious upgrades over the winter.

This team can't score runs, but let's give away runs due to shoddy defense. Makes sense. Thanks Shildt.

Lol. We made the playoffs. The front office gets to use that talking point for at least another 3 years as the reason to not make any moves.

I can't be the only one who can hear Mo now, "We didn't make any moves last deadline because we believe in our team and they got it done. We still believe in them and we think they deserve another shot this year as the same group."

 

[Note Worthy]

There's no doubt in my mind that this front office is now embolden to not make moves after they didn't do so at the deadline and the team won the division. They're going to feel they were right all along and everyone who said they should have upgraded were stupid.
