I've seen nothing different from this offense tonight

Other than a little more patience at the plate, same terrible situational hitting. The Cardinals bailed us out one inning with bad defense but its more useless Derek lee and company. They are tempting fate again leaving so many runners on base.

Why don’t you look back at my posts and you will see how wrong you are. I have been highly effusive of the entire pitching staff, have never bashed Lou as so many do on this board, and only take issue with the offense – Dome in particular.

And as for “showing up when we play badly?” We are winning. What qualifies as showing up when we don’t play badly? When we are winning 20-0? Perhaps you read the posts you want ot read.

Lee is not on par with his career numbers- his slugging is way down. And his defense is fading, too. He’s having a very bad year – a horrific year since April/May.

Lilly just tried to bowl him over. Nothing phenomenal if it was a position player, but pretty fearless for a starter. Looked ‘tougher’ cuz Molina was writhing around for a minute afterward.

how about reading my posts rather than making generalizations. You will find many positive comments about the pitching staff and Pinella. Whatever, I’m done posting here. I think my insights – while admittedly skewing negative – are accurate for the most part, but apparently it is sunshine pumpers allowed only here, so best of luck to the posters who pushed me out. I thought that unless you insult other posters would you run into issues, but apparently making factual statements about the team is enough to be attacked. Best of luck with rest of season.

By default, that can’t be “horrible”. Not producing as much as we might like, true.

It's not even by our own efforts.

A bunch of unearned runs and no extra base hits = horrible offensive night. At the same time, the pitching has been just great.

That is completely Lilly's doing.

An “average” performance from our starter – even a “good” performance, and we’d be trailing – especially without the gift runs from the Cardinals.

They need to make this hold up. Either way, the offense will be upset with their failure to execute.

What's honest

about complaining when we’re winning???

We’ve gotten some good hits, we’re showing patience at the plate. No, we don’t have 15 runs. You know what? I’m ok with that, because, when we score a ton one day, we tend to be shut out the next.

I’m FINE winning this game 4-1, if that’s what happens. So what if it took errors on the other side? That’s why you play the game.

We've scored in 1 inning.

We’ve advanced runners with sac bunts, only to see doubleplays and consecutive strikeouts.

We’re lucky that the Cards defense failed. And fortunate that our starting pitching has been so good.
