Cardinals ***Official 2014 STL Cardinals thread part II*** - Page 183

**BigRedChief** · 06:41 PM

Original thread was getting to large for the board

2011 WS Championship
2012 one win from another WS
2013 two wins from another WS title
2014 Central Division title and NLCS series win (so far)

This is a franchise that has made the postseason 10 times in the last 14 seasons.

Only 1 losing season since 2000.

Reached the World Series 4 times since 2004 and won as many championships (two) the past eight seasons as it did from 1965 to 2005.

Our new Manager has more post season experience than any other manager in baseball, except the Giants manager.

Made the NLCS 8 times

Three million attendance? Take it to the bank.

60 post season wins since 2004. 20+ wins more than any other team.

That was probably catchable but the wind knocked it down. Tough read.

George Liquor · 10-14-2014, 02:29 PM

Well... ****.

That was a catchable ball.

Bad News Bears defense is back ala 2012.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-14-2014, 02:31 PM

That is an extremely hard OF to patrol, but that's a play that just has to be made. That's a three run miscue.

Lackey's control definitely was not there that inning, but Pierzynski was also calling several pitches up.

With this HP umpire, that's probably too much to overcome already.

Marcellus · 10-14-2014, 02:31 PM

I thought Randal was suppose to be a good outfielder.

**BigRedChief** · 10-14-2014, 02:35 PM

If Lackey doesn't get the ball down its only going to get worse.

Grichek should have had that ball and it would have been a 1 run game.

It's only the 1st inning and Hudson can give up a bunch of runs when he doesn't get that outside corner and you lay off that slider out of the zone.

I don't think OT could have done any better with that fly ball.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-14-2014, 02:37 PM

Two straight balls scorched. Just keep putting good swings on the ball. They are going to need some hit sequencing today, because I don't know if anyone other than Holliday on a dead pull can hit it out of this park

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-14-2014, 02:39 PM

Well, at least we won't get no-hit.

Yeah a line drive down the left field line below the majority of the wind is about the only ball that's getting out today.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-14-2014, 02:40 PM

Not a great zone for us so far.

kcpasco · 10-14-2014, 02:40 PM

The wind actually kept it from bieng 5-0.

They are going to have to be patient if they want to get back in this. You are going to just have to take some strikes on the outside corners and lay off that pitch that dives way out of the zone.

Make him come back over the plate and then they will kill it just like Wong did. Patience will be key. Don't try to get em all back in one inning. One AB.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 10-14-2014, 02:43 PM

When Tim Hudson is battling and centering the ball, it might not be a long day for Lackey. Gat damn.

Normally, I'd agree, but this HP ump isn't going to let them be patient.

This zone is a ****ing joke. Just blew B2B calls, one to help us, one to hurt.

Pitchers umpire thats for sure.
