Cards need to find a way to take 2 of remaining 3.

Hopefully offense will be jump started in Coors.

But it might be too late.

Yeah, the hitting has just disappeared. What a time for a slump.

Was Cueto just on tonight? We really need to get into that shaky Giants bullpen if we want to win a few games.

Is this the part of the show where I say we could've had, or at least, pursued Cueto instead of Leake?

Was at the game. Cards were hacking first-pitch much of the night. Great idea, against a team who has the shakiest bullpen in all of baseball for the month of September.

Drive the starter's pitch count up, Mike/Mabry. Get him out of the flipping game and get into that bullpen.

3 out of last 4 games, our opponent's starter has pitched 8 or more innings.

So I agree. This team needs to be more patient.

Do you ever read the Jim Tomsula Lifehacks section of the thursday jamboroo at Deadspin? Kinda a random question, I know, but it's hilarious.

Anyone have any idea at all on Matheny's insistence on putting Bowman in high leverage situations? All I can come up with is that after watching Maness get guys to rip grounders at infielders for 2 years he just latched on to the next undersized RHP with mediocre stuff hoping for the same.

No. We only value pitchers who can bunt well.
