Re: 4/17 Gamecrap
OK, both called third strikes on Adams weren't as close as the 2-2 on Votto.

Re: 4/17 Gamecrap
OMG. A relief pitcher pitched an entire inning? Is Matheny not feeling well?

He really fought the urge not to bring in Walden for Frazier.

Re: 4/17 Gamecrap
If you've seen one Adams at bat, you've seen the other 90 percent.

Re: 4/17 Gamecrap
The best defensive second baseman in the National League just cost his team two runs.

Re: 4/17 Gamecrap
Siegrist is out there for the ninth?
Sorry, did Matheny get kidnapped or something?

Re: 4/17 Gamecrap
How fucking spoiled are we? The manager gets the team to the NLCS three years in a row, and we think he's a Dunderhead Boob.

Re: 4/17 Gamecrap
That was a good win. It must be stressful being a Cardinals pitcher and waiting around for your offense to find its way, though. They are forever pitching on the margins.

Re: 4/17 Gamecrap
By all accounts, he's a tremendous hitter. I've read about concerns about his defense at third base, and they may ultimately have to move him to a different defensive position.

“the team to the NLCS three years in a row”
STL/SFO 2014 playoff was very tight series(s). Every move magnified:
Position players: Personally I would have selected every Cardinal player over SFO. Maybe Posey/Molina, Panic/Wong, Crawford/Peralta are a wash? Yeah I do Ignore Sandoval when possible.
Pitching: Giants fought thru tough spots. Righettii does it over and over. (remember Zito)
Managing: Bochy (other than Strickland?) made almost all the right moves, he has his team under complete control, every game he seemed one step ahead. He has STL number. He has a lot more experience than Matheny and it shows.
Even though series ended was 4-1: it was a lot closer than that. Little things by Matheny (why take out Lackey?) show up BIG during a series where a few inches on a soft liner make the difference.
