OT: OT: Lets Go Cardinals! (All Baseball Talk Here) Part 2

[ChicagoBlues]

I’m actually paying more attention to the Cardinals and noticed that they’ve committed the 2nd fewest errors, so far.

However, after reviewing box scores lately, I’ve noticed that they are committing more errors than normal. Just an eye test, but I’d like them to tidy up the defense even more and not slide into the postseason with this issue.

Probably not an issue at all.

Still 2nd fewest in total errors this season and nothing alarming.

I’m just sayin’, Tuco!

Playing pretty lousy baseball since the Nationals series. Playing down to teams constantly.

Injuries to regulars and resting regulars with the 7 game lead is a contributing factor to the increase in errors.

Dickenson was brought in as a left-handed pinch hitter and DH. Playing in the field lately and he's being overexposed as he often times takes bad routes and plays the ball like a grenade. Once Carlson comes back from IL and pushes Dickenson back to bench duty, the outfield defense should improve. Carlson will get to more balls than what O'neill can as a CF'er. As long as Dickenson is still hitting, he will get DH duty preference over Gorman. Gorman needs to get it going, or he could be left off the playoff roster. I think he's taking his hitting struggles with him out in the field as his errors appeared to me to be more of the 'lack of concentration' type.

Loved that video of former teammates congratulating Waino and Yadi. Chris Carpenter looks like he could still give you 7 strong if you really needed him.

I think you mean Brendan Donovan. Also, Gorman. Both commit too many errors per innings played. Not Dickerson.

698

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO

Holy Helsley with an Immaculate ending.

 

[BlueDream]

Almost had 699 too.

I'm not a baseball fan anymore but Pujols has me tuning into their games now. Such a fun storyline to follow and it's so cool that he came back here to do it. May never see something like this again in STL, what a special player.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

I’m going to the second game tomorrow night, hoping for some magic!

Ditto on both!

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Ditto on both!

Even if it’s “only” 699 I’ll take it

dejong is one of the worst hitters to wear the birds on the bat. makes me miss pete kozma.

seriously, can you DH for someone who is not the pitcher? i'd let waino hit on his days he pitchers over this guy.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

@tfriede2 looks like we’re gonna have to settle for 699

Looks like he's not starting 2nd game....

Pinch hitter *fingers crossed* lol

Gorman has been completely garbage the past few weeks. Can't hit, can't field a ball.

He has the hardest hit ball tonight in his first start in a long time off a guy throwing 103. The whole team is getting carved up. Why single out the young kid who hasn’t even played recently?

Welp….

1) I'm just saying what I've been seeing. He's had almost 1/2 of his at bats the last 15 games end as a strike out.

2) Cards players have a fun tendency to shut me up after I talk bad about them. Like me saying Hudson was barely Double A quality last night before throwing a banger today over 8 innings. Or Pallante going off after I talked bad about him about 4-5 pages back.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

Welcome back Matz.

 

[Linkens Mastery]

That was...... something

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

I didn’t see exactly why the reds were pissed at the end, thought maybe they were claiming catcher interference or something. But just saw a replay….knizner does kinda veer into the grass….

Romine wanted Runner Interference due to Kiz "going out of Base Path" but. Due to it not being a tag play the Base Path didn't matter.
