Is this a mini Clemens or a full size Clemens?
Anyone care to summarize Rob Neyers article about the game today? Not asking for the full text, just the general points he's making.
Munro faced those same guys and went 4.2 innings throwing 80 pitches giving up 3 runs. One of those runs was because our bullpen couldn't get an...
Forget the next series, I think Munro then Clemens gives you the best chance of winning this series. Setting you up for the next series is a bonus.
And by made, I mean mad.
Why are you made about this? This game took more time than any other post-season game. Sounds like the longest to me. Would you have them...
Jose...
I disagree. I think the conventional logic in that situation when you have a closer that can go 2 is to put him in. Look at how Atlanta uses...
What I mean to say, is I could understand why Garner would second guess himself when every move seems to backfire. If that's why he didn't put in...
Well, if the move was him second guessing himself, I can't blame him for the ripping he's received, but I think that's a mistake. To manage...
Our bullpen isn't good. It doesn't suck. Give some credit to the Cardinals hitters. They aren't hitting groved pitches out of the park. They...
The biggest issue (and really on the only major mistake he made yesterday) was not using Lidge in the 8th. What makes it worse is he had been...
Given that non-call to Wheeler, I'd have change my statement and say that the inconsistency has definitely favored the Cardinals. I'm not trying...
If the ump is going to call that first pitch to Bagwell a strike (it looked about 8 inches foot outside), there is no way Bagwell's going to have...
I've read Backe said he was done in the fifth inning and was pitching on pure adrenaline at the time. You can definitely second guess Garner...
Even if the game is rained out, we would still likely throw Munro at least once. On the positive side, we'd have Clemens and Oswalt each pitch...
I'm in Boston and have watched a lot of Red Sox baseball. I hope it will be an Astros/Red Sox series so I can potentially go to a game, and...
I think if we win today, I think you start Backe in game 1. He didn't throw too many pitches and it seems like Garner only ever expects him to...
You can't pitch Roy tonight without a lead because you need him tomorrow. Even pitching him with the lead is very very risky. I still have...
I see no reason Backe can't go the distance right now. If he can go 8 and bring it to Lidge, that's good, If he can only go 7, we have Oswalt in...
