I know I am beating a dead horse here, but fire Mabry. Here is what the Cardinals do well offensively:
1) Pound the ball into the ground, resulting in an insane number of GIDP's. 2) Look at called third strikes 3) Swing at balls 2+ feet out of the zone 4) Not hit HRs Good win yesterday but the team is painful to watch on offense. |

I have noticed a more fun/lively dugout the last week or so. Martinez always seems to be involved. I found this Matheny quote interesting.........
SAN FRANCISCO -- It's hard to miss the energy and charisma that Carlos Martinez brings to the mound, along with an upper-90s fastball and complementing curveball. It was all on show again Thursday as Martinez pitched the Cardinals to a 7-2 win, the fourth for St. Louis in as many starts for Martinez. And apparently you have to listen to the 22-year-old, too, to get the full appreciation of his gregarious personality. "He comes back in and he's saying all kinds of stuff, sounds like a rooster sometimes," manager Mike Matheny began to explain after the team's series win. "I haven't figured that one out yet. Whatever he's doing, guys are laughing, and they're smiling. That energy that you're talking about when you bring young guys up is contagious. And then he made a couple things happen, too. "If you're just out here making all kinds of noise and not producing, that's a whole different animal. But he's doing a nice job making things happen on the mound and, today, at the plate." Wonder if Ryan had been able to hit if the locker room would have turned on him like it did?

Horrible pitch sequence from Rosenthal against the second batter. Dumbasses in the booth are telling him to just throw nothing but fastballs. Meanwhile, every pitch the guy gets closer to squaring it until he finally does.

I'm happy Taveras is at least getting a hit a game. Matheny can't bench him. He just looks like he belongs here. Doesn't look over matched and just has that look like he id going to kill that next pitch.

Taveras on the bench. Why? He hits LHP just as well as RHP. We brought him up to make a difference in the offense.
First inning, men on first and 3rd, John Jay strikes out looking 2nd inning, bases ****ing loaded, Craig hits a weak grounder to 2B OT hardly ever has bad AB's like these guys do on a regular basis.
