5 of the last 7??
I didn’t think it was that bad…

what's great is...
that we are still at/near the top of the division and best record in mlb – we’re money

Oh i'm not worried...
Last year though, when we were losing and things were tight later in the year, losing 5 of 7 sounds horrible…
This year though, the losses so far don’t seem to hurt as much.

I've seen a real decline and continued lack of discipline in him for the past two years.
When he was younger he could make up for it—his swing was a little faster and his eyes were a bit better. I watched him here in DC. He was always a spoiled child, but at least he could hit here.

i think it is obvious
that guy is LOST – everyone knows how to pitch to him, his bat is too heavy, he can’t run anymore, he’s out of position, he shows no passion, gets down on himself over every screwup, and the manager or DLee wont sit him down and tell him to GET HIS SHIT TOGETHER
i think the only way he turns it around is if somebody says “man, you are getting PAID to suck balls – go earn your keep by acting like you are blessed to play this damn game!”

Yes, I am
Every player’s numbers start to decline at some point. This may be his time, for all we know. You don’t know, and neither do I. Point is, he’s being paid to play a lot better than he is, so he has to get his s**t together and figure out what’s wrong on his own. It’s not Lou’s job or anyone else’s. That’s payroll that could be used on a legit #4 or #5 SP, or a real closer.

I don't think last season . . .
was rough—he still hit 30+ HRs despite the injuries. However, the way I view him is that, “he is, what he is.” He’s a free swinging power hitter with a low OBP, who also happens to be a streaky hitter. One of the streakiest I’ve ever seen. He also has a cannon arm, but can’t catch anything. The threat of the HR is an asset to the lineup, however, he shouldn’t be hitting leadoff. So, what does one do with the remaining 7+ years?

I’m willing to compromise there, because if they absolutely insist on batting him first, then fukudome needs to bat in front of lee and ramirez. so, bat him 3rd, lee 4th, a-ram 5th. That may eventually need to happen anyway, as OBP>speed.

Since you cant DFA him now that he’s with the club, you’re going to have to play him out of this slump, unfortunately. Let’s hope it doesn’t lose us this game, or more to come.

Soto once made love inside a tractor traylor
and his love juice was caught in the engine. We now know this traylor as Optimus Prime.

i’m pretty sure pie’s hr, cedeno’s bases loaded single and his GS, fukudome’s HR to tie it….at least the dome one counts

why don’t you tWo read before you jump to conclusions….I said that that particlular ball WHICH WAS HIT DOWN THE LINE WITH Glaus playing OFF the line, would’ve been a double if it were hit hard….but instead on THAT PARTICULOAR PLAY, IT WAS 3 HOPPER AND NOT HIT HARD and an easy force out.

It was a good pitch but he's a rookie and I

by Itchy on May 2, 2008 9:51 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
You have to put the ball in play to get a hit.
Especially in the late innings, where you’re not going to take enough pitches to tax one of Tony LaRussa’s relievers, if you see your pitch to hit, hit it.

I don't mind the agressiveness on that AB
Only because of Geo’s recent streak, and the fact that you know Duncan told him to throw an over ball to get ahead in the count. It was a fat pitch, Geo just missed pulling that one for a double

Boy, that was fun.
Shows you the state of the Cards though. I don’t think we can play worse than this, and the game is still close. Plus, they had Wainwright on the mound.
We’re not going anywhere. Hopefully, Rami will be back soon, and Soriano will go back on the DL. Everything has to go right for the Cardinals to stay competitive. And they know it.

In 3 nights in August...
Bissinger wrote that if a Cardinal gets hit by a pitch, TLR demands an opponent gets hit too, regardless of whether the first hit was intentional or not.
Any reason we should think the ARam hit was an accident?

Nothing.
Lou isn’t that type of manager. . . if it’s an unfortunate HBP but unintentional, so be it. If Lou thinks it’s on purpose, I think he would order one for the next game. As it stands, though, nothing will happen. No reason to get your next pitcher thrown out just because of revenge

Well, he was taken out because his wrist swelled up to the point
where he couldn’t really play. You could see that he wasn’t going to be able to stay in the game when he was standing at first base.
