Congrats to Yaddi for his 4th gold glove and the 1st platinum glove. He had a hell of a game today going 4 for 4 with a 2 run home run!

Base running ..... Ugly.

688sonarmen · 04-29-2012, 04:20 PM

It was a ballsy move at the end, could have paid off. Could have paid off if someone other than T.G was running.

Figured y'all would appreciate this one:

688sonarmen · 05-02-2012, 02:35 PM

Nice one Kenny, I mean Michael

In all seriousness it is pretty alarming that he is hitting around .223. I really thought he would be taking off by now.

688sonarmen · 05-03-2012, 04:35 AM

Beltran 2 HR's 7 RBI's sick. Pirates pitching was pretty sick as well, depending how you look at it.

Funny how things change. 17 strike-outs. That was ridiculous.

Last year the trend was piling on runs with 2 outs. This year we seem to have a no sweep clause

qwerty1500 · 05-07-2012, 06:28 AM

Think Wano has it back on track?

688sonarmen · 05-07-2012, 02:38 PM

It's looking like it. The velocity is still down but he has found his movement again.

qwerty1500 · 05-09-2012, 10:44 PM

Looks like we finally swept somebody. Going to the game tomorrow night. Hope they can keep this streak going for at least one more game.

Finally! Looks like Berkman will be back on Friday, wonder what thats going to do with the rotation, Craig is pretty hot right now!

I know I don't have to tell you to have fun there

I guess that too many bats in the lineup is a nice problem to have. Suspect that Craig and Beltan will see a little more time on the bench. I'm also hearing that Beltran may see a few games in center field. It's a shame that neither of them can play second base.

Btw, we're going to the game Friday ... duh. Anyway, it will be the first game for us this year. We have some good seats and we're really looking forward to it. We also hear that they are retiring LaRussa's number that night.

Maybe I'm showing my baseball ignorance, but Beltran in Center field? Isn't he a bit too old to cover that much ground and have that much speed? He's a hitter, but is he that good of a defensive outfielder?

Jon Jay is right at home in center, unless he needs a day off they should keep him there IMHO. Hopefully Molina is better and can play tomorrow, that's one guy the Cards can't go without for long.

I still have hopes of catching a game in August when I head home to Ky. Are there any give aways tomorrow?

kelmac07 · 05-10-2012, 06:45 PM

I see Beltran is still on fire...wish he would have done half of that in NY.

688sonarmen · 05-12-2012, 06:59 AM

Man what a game! How was it? Even though we did not get the W it was fun to watch past the 1st inning. For one I'm sure Mac is happy with Beltrans performance

. The strike zone was more than a little off for the entire game but both sides suffered from that. I really had game 6 fever when the bases were loaded for the 1st time near the end. But the Braves are a very good team and will make for a great series this weekend!

The good: Beautiful evening to be at the stadium. Great seats. Enjoyed the LaRussa ceremony. Exciting game. The Cards kept coming back ... the bats are a threat up and down the lineup. Watching Matheny make some good lineup moves with pinch hitters. And, of course, Beltran ... the wife pointed out that he hit more HRs last night than Albert has hit so far this season.

The bad: Hoped to see Berkman ... they say his calf is still sore. Yadi's two passed balls ... maybe he wasn't ready to come back. All those hits into the right-field corner early in the game ... Beltran wasn't even getting close to catching them ... knees? And, leaving the bases loaded over and over in the last couple of innings. Tempted to include the Card's pitching on this list but I won't; the Braves earned this one.

And the ugly: The Tony bobble-head. He wasn't wearing sunglasses. It looked like he was about 6'4" and weighed 140 ... they call it a "figurine." And the absolute worst part ... his head doesn't even "bobble."

688sonarmen · 05-15-2012, 04:17 PM

Thank God for Molina and Matt. C. I know the Cards had to slump at some point but vs the Cubs is just not the time to do it!

qwerty1500 · 05-15-2012, 07:22 PM

Including today, it's been an incredible run of poor pitching ... bad enough to make me cringe. Hope they straighten it out on the west-coast.
