Well so much for "when Hart gets back our lineups will improve."

[PrinceEatMeat]

I'm sure he needs a day off. Didn't expect him to play everyday right away.

[brewtank34]

I'd rather have Boggs in there instead of Kotsay.

[SoCal Brew Crew Fan]

Kotsay is awful, but less awful against RH. With Hart getting close to full strength and Mr. Tony Plush back on Tuesday, this long national nightmare will hopefully be over...although RRR loves grit as much as the next guy so who knows.

Not Kotsay would be great.

 

When Hart was on the DL and rehabbing it was "when Hart gets back Kotsay won't play much." Now it's "well Hart probably isn't full strength yet." When will the madness end?

[bucksman4]

Man STL is annoying the heck out of me. Winning every day and Berkman is better than ever hitting .400 and adding a potent punch to an already stacked middle of the lineup with Pujols and Holliday.

 

Every year they change players, add in guys that were disappointing or average players on other teams and they come to STL and are solid performers.

[fondybrewfan]

I still expect STL to crash back down to earth in a hard way. Their pitching simply isn't this good and obviously Holliday and especially Berkman aren't going to hit .400 all year. I am sure they will be in contention all year but at this point I refuse to believe that they are any better than us.

[bucksman4]

I don't know....Garcia, Carpenter, McClellan and Lohse are impressing me.

[GormanHarvey]

Yuni B!!!

[Raw Biz]

Wow, that play was unreal. I'm sure it still wasn't good enough for some naysayers though.

[strawbossisevil]

What a play by Betancourt! Wow.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Nice play by Betencourt

[bucksman4]

Gold Glove. Case closed.

[jason21nl]

OK, that was one hell of a play

[PrinceEatMeat]

Betancourt is so horrible defensively, but then he goes and randomly makes plays like that once in awhile. And that causes idiots like Bill to say that he's impressive defensively, and in fact has impressed everyone. I guarantee that isn't the case. That was a very nice play though.

[Schlitz001]

Another nice play from Betancourt.

[pretendastronaut]

Ya, St. Louis scares me so far. They've had, what, 6 blown saves so far as well? And they've lost each of those games? That's just scary.

[COBrewerfan]

He is so horrible that he makes all the plays he needs to make and some he isn't supposed to.

[GormanHarvey]

How quickly did Yuni get rid of that ball?! Wow. I have zero problems with his hands, release, or arm. His footwork and range is another story

[PrinceEatMeat]

No, he doesn't make all the plays he needs to make. He misses so many balls in the hole and up the middle that he should get to it's unreal. He does randomly come up with gems like that, and shows flashes, but he's really not good. He's already proven that over his career.

[PrinceEatMeat]

How quickly did Yuni get rid of that ball?! Wow. I have zero problems with his hands, release, or arm. His footwork and range is another story

Totally agree. His range is really what kills him as a SS.

[jason21nl]

Lets not turn the IGT into the YB thread....lets just leave it as a great play by him that time

[PrinceEatMeat]

Lets not turn the IGT into the YB thread....lets just leave it as a great play by him that time

I won't say anything else. It just pisses me off when people say that he's a good SS when he's proven he isn't. Including Bill and Craig.

[GormanHarvey]

Is Bud Norris going to no hit us?
