That's what I was hearing as well. 

That's a good two steps better than Smith.

I don't get why folks were so sure that just because he's not a left side of the infield guy he'd be a butcher in left.

Was it even close at home? Listening on the radio and they made it seem like it was a bad decision to send him. 

You can watch it online.

Simple plan ...... Pitch a shutout.

That's what Joe Garagiola said about John Tudor after the Cardinals scored a run early in Game Six of the 1987 NLCS.

He said, "There's your lead, pal. Hold it."

He did. The Cardinals won the game by a score of 1-0, with Tudor pitching 7.33 shutout innings in the process.

Man they totally gave Peraza that gap.  Mullins was way over in right center, but it looked like Mountcastle was either playing him straight or actually shaded towards the line.

If Cobb is our ace we're in trouble.

Eye test: Cedric is getting to more balls in CF this year than he did when he was up last year.

Given his speed and reputation, I was disappointed in what I saw of him in CF last year.  

I've been pleased this year.

Analytics made that 3rd out. Put Urias where he could catch that rocket.

[O-The-Memories]

Sounds like the defense saved us a run that inning which I love to hear. That's something that we have been missing on our team.

Mount is going to hit one off of the Hilton here

Maybe he's not ace caliber but he came in with a season ERA under 4.  Two runs in 5 innings tonight, that's not bad.  Don't know what your expectations were coming into the season but I'm pretty happy with what he's given us this year.

[CynBeth]

Ugh it would have to be Pillar who robbed him.

[scOtt]

Pillar has been pretty amazing this series.

[mrbig1]

well the kid gave it a ride.

[SteveA]

Pillar! (imagine me saying that in the voice Jerry uses when he exasperatedly says "Newman!")

[LocoChris]

Can we launch Pillar into the sun?
