[Gizmo]

another first pitch swing and weak grounder after back to back walks

[LeDoux]

I might have been wrong about X Paul. I expected a OPS < .650 at this point. I hope my error continues.

Back to back walks, and swinging first pitch. Somewhere, Thom is curled up in a fetal position.

Back-to-back walks and Meso grounds out on the first pitch he sees.

I had no problem with him swinging first pitch with Latos on deck. It was down the can he just rolled over it.

Keep waiting for Mesoraco to show that middle-of-the-order bat of his.

I agree. It was in his wheel house. It is silly to take a pitch that is obviously a strike and one you think you can drive.

Now had the pitch been on a corner, I would have laid off it.

Had him played perfect there

Latos rolling along

[LeDoux]

Cardinal's starting pitching so far this season:

ERA 2.38
FIP 2.74
xFIP 3.26

Bullpoop.

[New York Red]

For naught? Did the Reds just lose 0-0 in 3?

I didn't say anything about winning or losing the game, and I was referring to the season thus far, not just today's game. It would be nice to see one of our starters rewarded with a W for their quality starts.

Any idea what Latos was jawing with the umpire about there?

[_Sir_Charles_]

Good lord. Samardzija tried to do it again. Reached out barehanded to try to snag that one too. Daim Bramage. :O)

I was wondering that myself.

I liked his reaction to the dugout after that
