2011-10-16 Cardinals (Jackson) at Brewers (Marcum) [Brewers lose, 12-6; lose NLCS 4 games to 2]

[owbc]

Jackson doesn't seem interested in throwing very many strikes.

[Big Cat Dad]

Time for this stupid homer crowd to get back into the game. Maybe they'll stop booing.

I'd still be booing if I were there.....I'm booing from my couch still.

[stoutdude04]

Same spot that Marcum didnt get on Albert. Frustrating.

[Oldcity]

Now the idiot strike zone shows up again.

[Big Cat Dad]

In the last in game thread when Marcum started there was some poster who was absolutely convinced that Marcum was doing just fine and it was all just bad luck, etc. He was adamant that anyone who said marcum was toast just didn't know what they were talking about. I cannot wait for that guy to show up in here tonight. If he does, I hope he has removed his head from...uh, the sand.

That would be Ennder "Mr. Return to the Norms".

[pebadger]

Someone has to say it: Braun is struggling lately. He's still been good, but he's missing stuff he hardly ever misses.

[jwill535]

Braun looks lost up there. Another one of the arm only swings.

[jason21nl]

Braun has had some really awful at bats lately as well

[Ennder]

Did RR seriously expect Marcum to suddenly turn things around?

 

Now, we will go down without giving our best pitcher a chance to extend the series on 3-days rest. This is the playoffs, not the regular season. Someone should let RR know.

No....but Ennder did

No, I said I'd rather trust in Marcum pitching well than use a guy who hasn't started in weeks and doesn't have stuff as good as Marcum's. There is nothing wrong with starting Marcum tonight, the team just has to execute. The Cardinals have hammered every ball in the strike zone by all of our starters except Wolf all series and have scored first in every game, this isn't just a Marcum thing. I'll tell you what though, if Narveson had pitched and gave up 4 ER I can be sure of one thing, I wouldn't be calling people out about it. That just is uncalled for in general, any single starter on our team could do this, most of them have already this series.

[Fear The Chorizo]

if Braun and Fielder aren't hitting again tonight, forget about it

[brettac1]

Narv Dog time.

[Gobias Industries]

OH MY GOD Ron Darling shut up. If we come back credit will not be due to Ron Roenicke.

[Oldcity]

That should help the team come back.

[jason21nl]

and that pitch was in the same frickin spot to Pujols and was called a ball.. I'm tired of the umping in this series..and the Playoffs as a whole.

[Mr QL]

That's been a ball all day until they called it strike against Prince

[burnzy24]

Seriously, why are posters calling out other posters for their optimism on a certain, pitcher, game, hitter, etc. This happened the last game and is happening again. Do you feel better for calling someone out for being wrong about their prediction of a Brewer doing well? I just don't get it.

[chickinbrickin]

That first strike to Prince was further off the plate than that missed strike three to Pujols.

 

Way to go quitely, horrible ABs after Hart's HR. This team is lost right now.

I thought The Walking Dead premiere was at 9EST...

You know what would really help the team come back? A manager with a brain, a team that can play defense, batters that can work a count and a pitcher without a noodle arm.

Homer crowd? A "homer" crowd would not boo...they'd be sticking up for their team relentlessly like you are here.

I am not a guys who boos but it's not like it hurts the team either.

[pebadger]

The Cards have simply been playing better than the Brewers. No decision RR makes can change that fact.

[Funketown]

This is so eerily similar to a game three years ago...

[Oldcity]

You know what definitely won't help them come back? People booing.

[chickinbrickin]

I thought The Walking Dead premiere was at 9EST...

 

I have it recording tonight. Sad that I am more interested in watching that than this game currently.
