    So what happens if Yost walks Molina? I mean you have to send up Kelly, right? Does anyone think about this stuff before it happens?

    I just got home from work. Did he get hit in the head?

     
    Yes ( but glancing)

    For a lot of hitters, that would be considered hard contact.

    For being smarter than someone who thinks Fowler shouldn't be hitting clean-up?

    He's one tough son-of-a-bitch, mentally as well as physically.  If I'd hade a close call like that I'd have been shaking so hard I probably couldn't have delivered a pitch.  And if I did I'd probably be diving behind the mound as soon as I let the ball go.

    I saw the clip this morning. Yikes.
    I noticed last night Bowman and Lyons are also wearing a pad under their caps, just like Rosenthal has been wearing for the past week or so. And they talked about it during the broadcast, in between Hrabosky's sips of Robatussin. I don't know how you remedy the inherent danger for pitchers without corrupting the game.

    It would help to get rid of the juiced baseballs and the balsa wood bats.  But I agree there is no real solution.  Herb Score suffered a terrible injury in the mid-fifties and batter (Gil McDougal) wasn't even a power hitter.

    To enhance your burgeoning excitement, I'll advise you the schedule is relatively easy the rest of the way. They go to Boston for two games next week, but after that the farthest east they travel is Williamsport, Pa., on Sunday. They're done with the NL East after this series with Atlanta, and the only AL East team they play after the aforementioned two games against the Red Sox is Tampa, which comes to St. Louis for three games at the end of this month.
    That's followed by a 10-day road trip that starts in Milwaukee and finishes out west, but they're playing San Diego and San Francisco, not any of the teams in that division that are vying for playoff spots. Every game after Sept. 7 is within the division, and they finish with seven games at home - four against the Cubs and three against the Brewers.

    Someday when I'm in a sour mood I'll go on my rant about metal baseball bats and the notion that any league that allows them ought to be liable for assault charges when a pitcher gets hit by a batted ball, but it's a nice, sunny morning Friday here and the Cardinals are on a winning streak, and I don't want to spoil my disposition.

    Re: 8 / 10 loss Dreck

    Of course it's all about money.

    When I was young, it was damn near a criminal offense to break a bat when not hitting with the "label up."  I remember a story around 1957 about a Braves player noticing that Hank Aaron was not putting the label up in batting practice.  When the player made some comment to him about it, Aaron replied, "I ain't up here to read."

    Can you imagine trying to get today's players, even those in college, to try and hit with the label up?

    "I ain't up here to read" . I remember that .
    I think now days many are coming to the plate with a bat that says , " you ain't up here to hit ".
