Is the back swing not part of the swing?
MB hit Molina on the back swing there. Catchers Interference is 1st base. To me it makes sense that you wouldn’t want to worry about hitting the catcher on the back swing. So, it makes sense that they would want to keep the catcher out of there.
sheesh..if we lose tonight this board may go out of control..

Why Pitch to Pujols ??
There is no justifiable reason for throwing a strike to Pujols with 2 out and nobody on.
JUST WALK HIM !!!
The Cardinal lineup is almost as lousy as ours right now.
WALK PUJOLS !!
Also — bring up Tony Thomas from Tennessee to play second base. No more Miles or Fontenot.
Finally — when will Milton Bradley start looking better than Jacques Jones?
