greg775 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) Pujols has to be pissed at LaRussa thinking he'd hit into a DP and not just let him concentrate on hitting a game-tying home run. LaRussa getting buried on twitter if anybody cares. Edited October 25, 2011 by greg775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunofgold Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Impressive win by the Rangers. They looked horrible in that second inning but they rebounded. Those were gift runs, thus Cards really have been shutout the last two games. Momentum goes to Rangers but Cards still have their "wildcard" home field advantage. Good series. Really hope that it goes 7 games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing the Rangers lose last year, I've gotta pull for them to get their first title. If it happens in 6 games, I'm ok with it.

Milkman delivers Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 24, 2011 -> 10:19 PM) Well, there was finally a happy ending for Thome in CLE, although the Phillies were an NL team. And you might want to revise your prediction of the Cardinals winning the World Series, Milkman. Game 6 will be Colby Lewis vs. Jaime Garcia Certainly the Cardinals would be in trouble with either Lohse/Jackson for Game 7 against Harrison but just as likely Holland (3 days' rest) after last night. Perhaps. Losing that game that they basically had wrapped up in St. Louis is probably going to cost them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Apparently TLR is saying that the bullpen phone screwed up in the 8th inning and they only heard 1 of the 2 names of pitchers that he wanted up, so the LOOGY wound up staying in to face Napoli. There's a decent case to be made that TLR has cost them at least 1 of the 3 games they've lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Washington started the screw-ups in the 8th. Murphy can't hit lefties, there is absolutely zero reason to keep him in to face Scrabble. They got a lucky bounce so it worked out. Then I don't care what's going on with the bullpen phone, keeping the LOOGY in to face Napoli cost them the game. Run onto the field and stop the at-bat if you have to, get a righty in there!

He just got fried last night. People that hate the bunt especially when it takes the bat out of Albert's hands have to despise LaRussa.

Balta1701 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 ~50% chance of rain tonight around game time, rain chance supposedly declining as the evening goes on.

flavum Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) I think they did the right thing if they think there would be rain delays tonight and they know the weather is favorable for Thursday and Friday. Why start it, ruin the starting pitchers in the most important game of the year, and have it come down to the bullpens going 6-7 innings...while inconveniencing the fans and ending the game at 2am? Good move even if they could have gotten the game in eventually tonight. Edited October 26, 2011 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
