Re: 3/31 - 4/10 Game Discussion Thread

Fuld's catch was just named the play of the night on MLB Network.

Spoiler

It's the only thing Rays fans can smile about this week.

Where you watching the game at?

Not sure where you're at, but he must be local. Maybe you don't have the same cable provider he does that's showing the game.

According to MLB.TV, it's on Fox Sports Midwest.

This years Cardinals team it just seems like everything that can go wrong will go wrong, Pujols at the plate 3-1 count Jon Jay on first and the Giants catch Jay asleep and get him in a rundown after a pickoff attempt for an out, Pujols walked on the next pitch. Instead of runners on 1st and 2nd no out we have a man on first and 1 out.

Rasmus and Garcia have been about the only bright spots for us this year, Carp is being his usual self unfortunately he hasn't gotten any run support.

Ryan Franklin up getting loose

[OSUFan_88]

I feel so bad for the M's fans. They have to be perfect every night jus to be in the game. With their crummy defense and ...horrafulible offense, I don't see how they lose less than 90-95 games.

On a side note, the Indians win another 1 run game!!!!

Re: 3/31 - 4/10 Game Discussion Thread

Here we go, typical Ryan Franklin save attempt.

Gets first guy out, gives up a base hit to Posey, walks Burrell, Rowand up now with 1 out and runners on 1st and 2nd.

Rowand flies out to RF, 2 outs and up comes Tejada.

3-2 count to Tejada, ugh.

Re: 3/31 - 4/10 Game Discussion Thread

OH MY ******* GOD.

Tejada a towering flyball to CF and Rasmus drops it, I hate this team, Ryan Franklin 0/3 on save opportunities, defense failed him there but he puts himself in some god awful positions.

This team sucks, Tony needs to take Franklin out of the closer role yesterday, disgusting.

I can't believe Rasmus drop that ball to give the Giants the win, Wow. That was great if you hate the Cards like me but man Cards fans have to be pretty pissed right now.

You have no idea, this team is just disgustingly bad, its one huge failure after another.

Franklin needs to be removed from the closer role.

Colby should have probably taken a better route to that ball he made it harder for himself to catch with how he got to it but ugh, what a crappy way to lose yet again.

Mozeliak is a terrible GM, this team is so poorly constructed, such a poor defensive team and defense is typically one of our strong suits, this team is just hard to watch.

Such ugly baseball, not Cardinalesque at all.

Re: 3/31 - 4/10 Game Discussion Thread

Was watching on gameday, Knew once Franklin came in we were going to go into extra innings or Giants were going to win, I don't trust Franklin with a 3 run lead let alone a 1 run lead..Tony love him and won't take him out as the closer

I was shocked when he dropped that ball. I'm not sure I have ever saw a Cardinals team looks so bad. Of course I hope it continues,lol as I am a Reds fan but man this is not Cardinal baseball or a Larussa manged team at all. Shocking to say the least for such a good franchise to look so bad.

Re: 3/31 - 4/10 Game Discussion Thread

Things are tense in the Bot. of the 11th in Anaheim. The Angels are in the midst of a glorious opportunity to win the game but they're perilously close to letting it slip away.

Yeah, I can't wait to see how Tony spins this in his presser, I will bet you anything he pins the blame on Colby (and a share of it is absolutely his) but he will defend Franklin even though Franklin got himself into that jam in the first place.

Yeah I can't blame you I'd be enjoying it to if I were in your shoes, this is painful to watch, at least last season when we weren't a great team we were good with pitching and defense, our offense would struggle but we didn't lose games due to poor defense.

This year an offseason where Mozeliak "improved" our offense with Theriot and Berkman we are still hitting like garbage and our defense sucks now, granted Berkman is hitting better than Ludwick and Theriot is hitting better than Ryan, the fact of the matter is they aren't hitting at a good enough level to offset the defensive losses.

Theriot lost us one game when he booted a cut off throw, hes failed to make other routine plays, Berkman has no range in the outfield and cost us a run tonight due to that.

This team is just painfully bad, thankfully Holliday will be back soon but no way of knowing how long or quickly he'll find his stroke again after surgery.

I have lost faith in Mozeliak, the Holliday trade looks like a good one since he'll likely be the face of the offense after Pujols leaves this offseason (I can't see him staying unless DeWitt decides to boost payroll significantly), but other than that I'm not impressed with him at all.

Trading Chris Perez for Mark DeRosa, stupid, that would be our closer right there, instead we got part of a season (a small part) of an oft injured 3B who even if healthy wouldn't have been worth parting with Perez.

Ludwick for Westbrook I hate just because Westbrook seems to get pounded far too often, if he got run support he might be fine but as it stands he isn't a front half of the rotation starter, and he got thrust into the #2 spot due to the Wainwright injury, but even if Waino was healthy Westbrook isn't a passable #3 starter, he is a #4 at best and he gets paid too much on top of all that.

Theriot signing and trading Ryan for nothing don't even get me started, Ryan couldn't hit but he played great defense and that is far more valuable for this team than the minor offensive upgrade Theriot offers which is no power but some slap hit singles.

Mozeliak sucks and this team isn't going to be contending for a while again, if this keeps up we'll likely see Carpenter dealt at the deadline and once Pujols leaves in FA we'll be rebuilding with our offense centered around Holliday and Rasmus and rotation around Garcia and a hopefully recovered Wainwright.

Barring injuries the Reds should have control of this division for a while.
