OT: Lets Go Birds! (All Baseball Talk Here)

[AjaxManifesto]

Poor Braves.

I like winning, but this is ugly.

 

[TheDizee]

they need a 10 run rule

Hey, Cleveland once came back from a 12-run deficit. Maybe a 13-run rule. It would be the merciful thing to do at this point (though, tbh, I'm quite enjoying watching this slaughter).

I think it’s time to pull Flaherty. No use in risking injury at this point

I was thinking the same thing, but I also get the concern about wear and tear on a bullpen over 7 innings (and mild concern about a coupld of them not having it and letting the Braves back in). I'd pinch hit for him at his next at bat though. That should come either in the 5th inning or the 4th inning after we've tacked on a few more runs. That allows you to run your bullpen close to their normal workload and still leaves him on a very low pitch count for the day.

 

[TheDizee]

Let Jack pitch 5 then pull him and let Wacha or whoever is cleanup man finish the game

 

[JMCx4]

Holy smokes, this game is insane. How are there even still fans in that stadium right now?

From the glimpses of the crowd on the early telecast, there's a goodly number of Cardinals fans there to keep attendance & beer sales up for all nine innings.

 

[KirkOut]

Wonder if they will give Flaherty run support in G5

yes

 

[Davimir Tarablad]

yes

Let's just hope they didn't use up any future run support for today

They serve beer all 9 innings there? Jealous.
I once went to a game at Busch with a buddy, and we were drinking pretty heavily. 7th inning stretch comes, and they stop selling. Game ended up going into so many extra innings that he was hungover by the time we left.

 

[Stealth JD]

It’s like a death march at this point with each Braves batters heading towards a firing squad. But instead of a firing squad, its a showdown with Flaherty and it’s humiliating, not painless and merciful.

 

[SwivelSchwartz]

Words cannot describe how badly the blood pressure needed this first inning after the year we’ve had

 

[542365]

Jack allowed a run. What a bum.

 

[Brian39]

At 90 pitches and Flaherty coming up to bat in the 6th, I really don't like the decision to keep Flaherty going. He didn't look quite as sharp last inning and we may need him to go on short rest in the next week or so. Save the arm.

 

[The Note]

NL Central, NLCS appearance and hopefully more. Biggest year ever in STL sports?

 

[Summer Rose]

Goodbye Braves. You won't be missed by most people.

 

[Vladdy the Impaler]

The Cardinals must read Blues HF Boards.

Also, is Flaherty just Bib Gibson reincarnated? Is that even possible with Gibson still around?

 

[AjaxManifesto]

Let's win the whole f'ing thing and call it a magnificent year for STL.

 

[Ted Hoffman]

It wasn't total payback for 1996, but it was a partial step toward it.

 

[Fez Whatley]

I hate the Dodgers more than any other sports team by a Gigantic margin

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

Well the Cardinals tend to do well against them historically.

Cards were my pick to win the WS. Go RedBirds!!

 

[TheDizee]
