Seger, Aretha, or Kid Rock, who woulda thunk?

 

[Ghost Rider]

I have never liked Bob Seger.

ORLY? Man I love Seger.* *Not because he's from Detroit either.

God, the people at ESPN are idiots. There is a poll over there, and one of the questions is which veteran would you like to see win a title, Jim Edmonds or Ivan Rodriguez? Um, Rodriguez has already a title! No, the question doesn't specify win their first title, but when a question is worded like that, you know they mean which old veteran would you like to finally see win a championship.

Sean Casey But yes, ESPN sucks.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Who's this Chris Duncan guy? I have watched the Cards three times this year. And the pitcher Reyes. What kind of stuff does he have? Fastball thrower or junk?

Since the 80's.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Verlander looks nervous but a 1-2-3 inning and got Al on strikes.

Who's this Chris Duncan guy? I have watched the Cards three times this year.

Duncan has a lot of power, but has been very streaky. He was on a tear in late August/early September (around there), where he was seemingly jacking one out of the park every other night, but he has been pretty mediocre in the playoffs. And he looked badly overmatched on that at-bat he just had.

And the pitcher Reyes. What kind of stuff does he have? Fastball thrower or junk?

Reyes has been mind-numbingly inconsistent, and talking about him too much will aggravate me , so just watch and find out.

Understood on Reyes.On Duncan well...VErlander makes a lot of guys look that way. He is pretty tough.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Understood on Reyes.On Duncan well...VErlander makes a lot of guys look that way. He is pretty tough.

About Reyes, I will say that he has the tendency to leave pitches hanging, and that has resulted in a lot of HR's hit against him. Verlander is going to be tough tonight.

Verlander will give up base runners though. The Cards will get their chances.

 

[Ghost Rider]

The Cardinals had better take advantage of those chances, then, because Reyes looks crappy so far.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Here is a poll for ESPN:

Who's hair style is worse?

A. Ordonez

B. Belliard

C. Equally bad

 

[Dave Baker]

Atta boy Guillen.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Does Verlander always throw this many balls? He has thrown 24 pitches to just the first 4 hitters.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Rolen with a HR! Here's hoping that is the Rolen that shows up this entire series.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

He's a rookie. He makes quite a few mistakes like that ball to Rolen. He will have innings where he throws 5 pitches though.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Rolen with a HR! Here's hoping that is the Rolen that shows up this entire series.

Yeah you gotta like seeing that with the way he has been hitting.

Absolutely. His last three at-bat's have been the ball Chavez caught over the wall, a single that preceded Molina's HR in the 9th Thur. night, and that HR. On the other hand, can someone please give Encarnacion the wrong directions to the ballpark tomorrow night. When he is going good, he is productive, but when he is not going good, he is brutal. And he always stinks in the field.

 

[SofaKings]

When Encarnacion was the Detroit CF it was like a circus in CF.

Juan came up with the Tigers. He was a "five tool" prospect. Now he's just a tool.

 

[ffweasel]

:(

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Pujols rocks.

 

[SofaKings]

Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Wow. RBI single by Duncan, and then Pujols crushes a two-run HR. 4-1 Cards.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark.

Why pitch to Pujols there? Makes no sense at all.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Reyes had better be on a short leash now.

 

[cobalt_27]

Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark.

It's not like EVERYONE knows this by now. Sheesh.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Ouch. That's gonna leave a mark.

Well, it's not like he left a pitch out over the plate. Very few MLers would have hit that out of the park to the opposite field.

He's one of the best hitters in the past 30 years. He needs to be walked in that situation and Verlander looks like ### tonight.

I agree that they should have walked Pujols. I'm glad they didn't. Still a long way to go. Nice 3rd inning by Reyes, though.

PRECISELY the reason why you don't pitch to him. You could aim for the kid's head sitting in the third row, and Pujols will still find a way to lay good wood on the ball.Just dumb.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I thought Bonderman should have pitched in this game for the reasons we are seeing right now.

 

[SofaKings]

Encarnacion misses the hit and run sign? Shocker.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Cards need to stay disciplined and not swing at pitches out of the strike zone, as Verlander is all over the place.

They are doing fine.

 

[SofaKings]

No bad pitches on that last K.

 

[Ghost Rider]

10 in a row retired by Reyes. Damn. I didn't see that coming from him.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

10 in a row retired by Reyes. Damn. I didn't see that coming from him.

He's been helped by awful swings and no patience at the plate. I knew this would be a tough game for the Tigers but this is ridiculous.

You do realize that walking him every time is a stupid, stupid idea that'll yield a TON more runs in the long run than letting him hit, right?

 

[MrPhoenix]

10 in a row retired by Reyes. Damn. I didn't see that coming from him.

Just like how I never thought that BOTH Weaver and Suppan would outpitch Carpenter in the LCS. In the playoffs, everything that is up is down, everything that is black is white, etc.

 

[MrPhoenix]

Maybe he's finally turned the corner. I forgot that he's a little streaky.

I think it's interesting from a statistical perspective. It's the fallacy of a small sample size, magnified on a HUGE scale.

 

[MrPhoenix]

BTW, I'm officially starting a new religion:

Pujism

Everyone is welcome to join as long as they understand and believe that Pujols is a living, breathing, and walking God.

 

[Keys Myaths]

Oh, and go Tigers. The Cards fans in Columbia have just become unbearable.

 

[MrPhoenix]

Oh, and go Tigers. The Cards fans in Columbia have just become unbearable.

Yeah, because Columbia has always been Royals country.
