Another afternoon game?  What is this?

After the vast disappointment that was yesterday's game, it's a little difficult to get too charged up over today's outing, particularly looking at the numbers Lohse is putting up on the mound.  However, he is in a slump of sorts.  He's putting together good numbers, but the Cardinals have won only once in his last eight starts.  In that span, he's gone eight innings twice and gotten NDs for his effort.  So it'd be great if we can continue that.

For our number, Doug Davis will take the mound.  After some rough starts at the beginning of August, Doug has looked better his past few go-rounds, giving us our only win in the Dodgers series, though that should properly be attributed to the offense.

Looking at the lineup, I note that Justin Upton is on the bench again- still no word of any diagnosis, but I'd guess the headaches are still bugging him.

Just about ten minutes before first pitch here, so I'll post this quick.  Let's go, D-backs!

Our lineup

S. Drew ss .287
D. Eckstein 2b .375
C. Jackson lf .293
A. Dunn rf .240
M. Reynolds 3b .242
C. Tracy 1b .261
C. Young cf .246
C. Snyder c .241
D. Davis p .091

The key to the game, according to the radio team, is “offensive consistency.” Well, duh.

I’m sick as a dog and at home watching the game. That throw was right into the runner on a charging play from third. A bad angle for that throw. I can’t hang that E on Trace. His mitt was run into by the batter.

by foulpole on Sep 3, 2008 5:27 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I saw the play

The throw may not have been good enough to record the out, but a throw is never “into” the runner, unless the 1Ber misplays the ball. His first job is to keep the runner out of scoring position, and similar to Drew’s “error” in the LA series, Tracy failed to do his job.

Hope you feel better

Speaking of hatred, according to Foxsports.com,

Clint Hurdle hates the Dodgers, plain and simple. Is it something they said? Nope. “I just hate the Dodgers. I love to see them lose. It’s nothing personal with anyone there. You know how some people love the Yankees? I choose to hate the Dodgers.”

I’m pretty sure we can’t afford him, but I would love to see him back next year. Guy seems comfortable, and the team seems to like having him around.

RE-SIGN DUNN!

See if he’ll give us a slight discount….. we need a REAL feared offensive threat, and Mark and CoJack combined into one player is better than either Mark OR CoJack.

I don't remember when it was

But early in the season I was watching what I thought was a live game at my mom’s house for like an hour before I noticed that it was really weird that Byrnes got a homer in the third and then Reynolds got on base and it all looked SO familiar. Of course, then I called soco and he told me that it was a repeat and I am brain dead. ;)

Nope

Reynolds = -23.6%

CY was also 0-for-4, but left seven men on base, I think.

And, actually, no

Chris Young. He had an inning ending double play and hit into two inning-ending fielder’s choices, one of which came with the bases loaded.

Good point made in the post-game

Melvin’s mad science worked out today- his pinch hitters reached, Augie did well at third, the bullpen held the Cardinals scoreless.

Also in post-game

Melvin said he had “notes for a speech” that he was going to give after the game. He said he’ll save it… he better!! I had hoped he would yell at them after yesterday…

We rake Melvin over the coals when he loses, so ya gotta give him credit for doing well, too.

Normally

when Grace and Sutt get on the crowd’s passivity, I get pretty pissed [long story], but they did in the ninth, after Drew’s triple, and I gotta say – the crowd sounded really invisible given the circumstances. Battling tooth & nail against a quality closer (and LaRussa’s Cards) in September; fighting to keep first place against the resurgent (and hated) Dodgers?

People talk about “no heart”. Our crowd barely started cheering until Jackson slid across the plate. They must’ve been office drones dragged to a team building event ;-)

The crowd seemed really quiet all game. I expected some more noise from them, especially since this was a Redheads game.

I dont have an issue with

the count. They sold the tickets. I just think it would be nice if they got on the PA in the fourth or fifth inning, and told people to sit anywhere they want – with a disclaimer about being courteous to those around you, blah,blah,blah. Maybe sitting near the dugout could win over some upper deck kid for life.

Building relationships. It’s what I’m all about.

Apart from the small size

I think there is a more passive quality to the weekday crowds generally, at least the games I’ve attended. Less drinking, presumably – and I was only half kidding about the team building thing.
Maybe the heat plays a role. It’s just not an electric atmosphere.
