World Series: Texas Rangers vs St. Louis Cardinals

[The30YardSlant]

Great, he's on now. Hopefully CJ comes in and plays lights out.

Not really, we just arent hitting him. He's hanging every breaking ball and his fastball is all over the place. Cruz especially, he popped up a pitch that he normally hits into the second deck.

 

[The30YardSlant]

The thing is... what logical reason do we have to have more confidence in C.J.? He has pitched more scared than any of them. Almost every start these playoffs he goes 3 balls on every hitter.

There's nothing logical about this series. Games 5 and 6 destroyed all semblence of logic.

Yeah. If Cruz gets that pitch 10 times, he hits it into the seats probably 7 or 8 of them.

IIRC it was the same exact pitch and placement of the homerun that hit the top of the foul pole in game 2 of the ALCS. I literally jumped up as he was swinging because I expected it to go about 450 feet.

[utrunner07]

nicely sat up for the double play.

All of the first pitch balls and working behind in the count makes me miss Cliff Lee Other than that, I don't miss him at all.

 

[rcaldw]

How the heck is that not a strike?

 

[The30YardSlant]

The Cardinals have realized that none of our pitchers can throw strikes on command right now and arent doing much of anything until they get two strikes, at which time we are giving them great pitches to hit.

Lets see if we can get a first pitch strike.

 

[The30YardSlant]

[utrunner07]

[rcaldw]

Lets see if we can get a first pitch strike.

[TheCoolFan]

Letting Furcal get on base twice...oh man why don't they just wave the white flag

 

[utrunner07]

should have been strike 3

 

[rcaldw]

Letting Furcal get on base twice...oh man why don't they just wave the white flag

Its just a one run game right now. But we DO have to hold it together here.

 

[utrunner07]

sure would like a double play here.

 

[rcaldw]

If I were a betting man, I would bet a 3-2 count somewhere in this AB.
