Brent Suter: Batter (Cardinals) vs Pitching Stats

[pacopete4]

Must win.

[TURBO]

That is probably the best line-up we can put out there given our current roster.

[pacopete4]

Pay the man. Again.

[BruisedCrew]

That was the at bat I was looking for in the first game, but they couldn’t get him a shot.

[TURBO]

BRAUN!

[shanedog19]

Braun needs to play every out of every game the rest of the season.

[BruisedCrew]

The lineup above has Hiura and Vogelbach reversed. I hope they didn’t bat out of order.

[TURBO]

I REALLY hope that Monkey Knife Fight is not a sponsor next season. Makes me gag with annoyance every time I hear the name.

[pacopete4]

Vogelbach even moves runners. Sign him too.

Is that the first time this year they got a runner home from first without any additional walks+hits?

[MrTPlush]

How long are we going to trot out a sub .650 OPS shortstop? We are going on three years.

One for his last eighteen and nine for his last 50.

Bringing in Urias as competition for Arcia never really panned out.

it could be, but one advance was from a passed ball, so it wasn't anything that we did to move the runner to 2nd...

I'm hoping that next year, they just commit to Urias at ss and see what happens...

 

I know that is wishful thinking, and it will never happen as long as Arcia is on the roster, but it would be nice.

Weird, here is the team’s graphic which also has Vogelbach listed in the cleanup spot...

I’d put money on Luis Urias being the SS. Stearns made pretty critical comments about Arcia in the off season and he has been no better this year. I am betting Stearns dumps him vs. paying him the $4mil or so he is going to require in arbitration.

 

Unfortunately Luis Urias has even less power along with lesser defense so unless he is hitting near .300 I am not he is really any better.

[Lostpawn]

Yet Another Infield Hit (YAIH).

[MrTPlush]

How much did Suter pay the home plate ump?

[TURBO]

How much did Suter pay the home plate ump?

 

lol

 

It always evens out...

[TURBO]

Braun really starting to feel it... Outside of an injury, he needs to play every game from here on out, like someone said earlier.

[folly412]

I've decided. Re-sign Braun.
