Nice play by Baez

love 1st pitch swinging when youre down 6-0 =) =) =)

[Vidor]

I would agree with y'all on the Jay-skeptic train if Grichuk were available to play CF; I thought Jay would never be our regular CF ever again. But apparently he isn't close to coming back, and Pham is a replacement player.

[Pudgelewis]

Can Pham throw it from medium outfield depth to the pitcher's mound on the fly?

[go birds]

i loved our chances of getting 6 runs but there's no way we can get 7

[Schlich]

jay is a .300 career hitter

Jay is a career 2.89 hitter, and a very average one at that, with serious defensive limitations and now on the wrong side of 30 with some injuries under his belt.

definitely fair, but see Vidor's comment.

[Radbird]

Yeah, the Mets were only down 6.

[Cheddar Tom]

I'm of two minds on the Pham/Jay thing....Jay is a prob. better player than Pham in the long run. I'd rather have him in good form and on the postseason roster than Pham. But the Cards can't just keep giving Jay AB's if he doesn't show anything.

[go birds]

matheny's gotta build jay's confidence

[Radbird]

Villanueva struck out the side. So there's that.
