    Right. His velocity appears to be fine, but his mechanics are just so inconsistent. I dunno, I'm not a pitching coach so I could be wrong, but it looks like he's laboring to find the right release point.

    Simmons has certainly had better days. Is a Cardinals fan doing the official scoring tonight? That was a hit?

    Have the Cardinals come out ahead in a replay review yet?

    Timely hook by Matheny. Miller was done. Nice work by Neshek.

    Right. His velocity appears to be fine, but his mechanics are just so inconsistent. I dunno, I'm not a pitching coach so I could be wrong, but it looks like he's laboring to find the right release point.

    I'm not a pitching coach either, but it could be something as simple as unfamiliarity with the mound. I remember there was a gap between his home and road splits this year, and he can't have pitched much at home this year because the Cardinals have only played 12 games at Busch so far. 
    Mounds are like snowflakes. They look pretty much the same, but they're all different. And don't think for a second a grounds crew won't tailor a mound to the guy who's pitching for the home team that night, and they're so good they can make an alteration look subtle. Harang is a taller man with different mechanics than Miller. 
    You're probably right and Miller's issues are either mechanical and inside his head, but there's other stuff that could be happening.

    That is the interesting thing about being at home.  Taller grass if needed.  Wetter infield.  The mound.  All interesting things.

    If Chris Johnson ever hits .300 again, I'll walk to Atlanta to congratulate him.

    The folklore was always one of the other teams in the NL, I think either the Cubs or the Mets, used to let the grass grow for about a week before Whitey's Cardinals came to town to slow down Vince Coleman and the other rabbits.
    We were in the same league with a team from a town that was always competing for the state high school championship, mostly because they seemed to have an endless supply of 6-foot-4 pitchers who threw serious heat. I pitched against them a couple of times at their place and the mound was so high I should have brought along a Shirpa guide. I didn't mind because I'm pretty tall and I threw the ball OK, but it always seemed like their guys were dropping mortars on top of your head.

    We won one yesterday. Ground ball by Carpenter, he was called out at first. Umps reversed it.

    The braves chant is really annoying.  There is 15 people at the game tonight.  They are not making that noise.
