2013-05-03 Cardinals (Miller) at Brewers (Lohse), 7:10 PM CDT [Ramirez returns; Brewers lose, 6-1]

Of course that just happened

[pebadger]

but he's not a 1B.

 

This is not an excuse, its not that hard. Its like saying its ok if an NFL tackle who plays guard just on the extra point team allows someone to run right past him because he's not a guard.

 

I agree, but IMO the error was one of decision-making in that he didn't decide whether to make the play himelf of make the toss and then got caught in between. That kind of decisionmaking error comes with a lack of familiarity with playing the position.

2 out runs, hooray! Also, I thought Holliday took a pitch that could have been a strike.

0-3 on plays at the plate yesterday, 1-1 today thanks to Honus Segura

[pebadger]

Hey, they finally got a call!

[danzig6767]

What a gun by Segura. He never stops impressing.

[danzig6767]

Cardinals fan? Are you lost? Just kidding, welcome!

 

Thanks! Nah, not lost. Been lurking here since 2011. I just love baseball and like to see other fans views on things.

If you are talking about the play at the plate, it wasn't even close.

I second that welcome! As someone who occasionally peruses other fan boards as well, curious which site you consider your "mother-board"?

The outside corner has now opened up.

[pebadger]

Way to go, blue.

[jjkoestler]

How does Miller look tonight?

 

I keep waiting for him to get shelled (I have him on my fantasy team) because he pounds the zone and only throws two pitches.

Yep, I failed to blue that comment.

I gotta hand it to this Miller kid, i can't remember watching a young pitcher have as much success as he's been having while throwing almost entirely just fastballs.

Which is why I would expect us to start to hammer on him at some point in time....I'd like that time to be now please!

Runners on base + hits = runs.

 

Too many times that simple equation isn't fulfilled against STL. Need to turn runners into runs.

[B2k1121]

Just curious, has Freese ever made an out against the Brewers?

No, he hasn't.

I disagree, that call was very close. The ball definitely beat the runner, but the runner's hand very nearly touched the plate before the tag. I do believe the correct call was made, however.

[Polish Falcons]

So who else bet the farm on Carlos Gomez leading the NL in BA by 20 points on May 3rd?

 

 

WhoA-- and just realized he's also leading all of baseball in WAR at this point: 2.4 Gomez followed by 2.1 for Upton & Kinsler.

[topper09er]

Betancourt basically leaned and fell over, pretty much as expected

[Vintagent]

Nah, that's not me. Don't tell my friends but I actually like Braun.

 

I second that welcome! As someone who occasionally peruses other fan boards as well, curious which site you consider your "mother-board"?

 

If I had to say....I guess I would go with http://www.reddit.com/r/Cardinals/ but I don't post much there either.

 

I promise I won't cause any trouble here. I just like talking/ENJOYING baseball!

[The stache]

Hey all.

 

How's Aram looking since coming back? I see he's got a hit, haven't turned on the game yet as I'm waiting for my pizza.

[BeerBrewer79]

Just realized they are actually wearing their BP caps not an actual game cap, so is this a one off returning to the all blue caps, or is their retro uniform all season?

Sometimes you need a little help from the baseball gods. The Cardinals clearly are a good team, but yesterday they scored six runs on mostly well placed grounders and flares.

 

Now Lohse gets pinched again.

[The stache]

I'd be surprised if that were the case, Beer. The classic pinstripe uni + hat is too popular.
