Cards Talk

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

I'm a fan of this lineup.

 

Hope they can get this one. Know it's early, but it's never good to get swept at home in the division.

[thablingster]

Avoid the sweep boys! I kind of expected to see Gerut today, but any combination which equals a win is fine with me. I'm running late, but I'll be at the game this evening!

[Funketown]

I like the idea of Edmonds hitting 2nd and giving Gomez a day off. However, this has to be one of the worst outfield defenses in the majors...

[Schlitz001]

Yeah for a better lineup! Yeah for a lineup without Gomez hitting second and some LH/RH seperation.

 

It will be interesting to see how Edmonds handles CF. I agree that Gerut might have been a better choice than Hart against a pitcher like Carpenter. Hopefully he proves us wrong.

[WisconsinSportsRule]

I'm glad to see Edmonds in the 2 spot even if it's only for 1 day. He's usually willing to work the count, but I don't know if he grounds into DP's a lot.

 

I don't know if Macha would have put Gerut at 2.

[Oldcity]

Edmonds in center? This is a complete 180. Gerut should be the backup center fielder.

[craigharmann]

Edmonds in center?

Maybe Macha watched Hot Tub Time Machine and thinks it's 1999 and Edmonds is a GG center fielder!

[BrewCrewForever]

I like the lineup. Hope it produces tonight. Let's go 1-0 today and avoid being swept at home. Need a big outing from Wolf.

[craigharmann]

Eh....the joy of watching ESPN. Hershiser props up the Cards, while Joe Morgan raves about Braun and the swagger. Gotta win tonight!

[logan82]

Yeah I completely agree Gerut should be in CF. This is a sort of dumb substitution in my opinion. I would have had no problem with Edmonds in RF and Gerut in CF. Gerut needs some PA. Macha still doesn't understand getting the bench guys regular PA. I have been against Edmonds in CF all spring. I am not really big into firing the manager because one guy is as bad as the next but between Suppan in the rotation and Edmonds in CF I really am starting to question Macha's intelligence.

[Mr QL]

Just win baby.

[trwi7]

Less than five minutes into the game and I'm already tired of Joe Morgan.

[Gobias Industries]

He misjudges multiple balls like that every year. What a clown.

[razzzorsharp]

Great start.

[trwi7]

Some of the laziest defense I've ever seen by Hart.

[ELCABALLO45]

Gomez should be in center, Edmonds makes that catch in right. Terrible start.

[ttsather]

Bench Hart immediately for Gerut. Put his butt on the pine. Completely inexcusable.

[razzzorsharp]

Morgan saying to have Ludwick bunt over in the first?

[Hammer]

Seriously, can Hart dig himself an even bigger/deeper hole?

[logan82]

Joe Morgan is a tool. Talking about moving a guy over from 2nd to 3rd in the top of the first. The implication was sacrificing him over. I bet he gets hired as our next manager. Also LaRussa is a great manager according to Morgan. I can't express how much I dislike LaRussa on this forum. My vocabulary is limited and I can't use swear words here.

[Schlitz001]

Good start from Wolf to get out of the inning without giving up a run. I hope we can give him some support early.

[Giraldo8]

Even after he walked it seems. i think Joe would rather have guy on 3rd 1 out, rather than 1st and 2nd no out. Man hes atrocious to listen to.

[ttsather]

Joe Morgan chastises Ryan Ludwick for not getting Lopez to third (after taking a walk)? "That's why you have a #2 hitter who can do just that; of course, Ludwick didn't get the opportunity to do that." And Jon Miller tries to save him by spouting some gibberish about how maybe there's "residue" in La Russa's managerial style from his time in the AL forever ago? And that's why Ludwick didn't drop an idiotic bunt?

 

My head is ready to explode already.

[jhart05]

That was pathetic Corey.

 

Lollygager!
