Waino's on the mound, offensive powerhouse* San Diego is trying to earn a split, and the sky is the color of baseballs. Hoo, boy, today's either going to be really good, or really not. * when playing the Cardinals

Now all we need are 8 innings of Wainwright Classic. I'd like to see more runs, though.

Trevor has loaded the bases on walks, interrupted only by a questionable called third strike. Matheny has seen enough.

If we're going to replace bases, why go with flat mats? Why not just have a nice, 4' high steel post filled with reinforced concrete? C'mon. The bases are what they are: bags. You gotta keep the tradition going. I mean, today, it's replacing the bags with flat mats. What's next? Something even stupider, like having some guy on the team whose only job is to bat for the pitcher?

KYOON GRIFFEY JR posted:is this where we chat about the LLWS because i want to know if there are balks in little league I don't know if this is the right place, but there are balks in Little League. I don't know if it's enforced at all age levels, but I distinctly remember that it was something to watch out for by the time we were 11 or 12 or something like that. At least, I hope it was. We had a few Bob Davidson disciples on the team who'd shout "Balk! Balk!" if the opposing pitcher tried to pick one of our guys off. Edit: I looked it up, and I found something saying that balks have been replaced with illegal pitches. So maybe they are gone now. tarlibone fucked around with this message at 23:27 on Aug 18, 2014 |

From the Cardinals website: "Masty looking to keep nasty edge." I like this headline. It is appropriate for both a decent start and a horrific one.

Why did Bruce go out to talk to the ump there? Did he want to know if it was a stand-up double or a ground-rule double on account of fan interference? I don't see how that ends up as anything besides a double.

Well, the move to pinch hit for Martinez actually works out. And with Descalso no less.

New old guy AJ drives in the go-ahead run and manages not to get caught in a run-down because nobody was covering first. I'll take it.

Boon posted:"Maybe AJ Pierzinski doesn't know 'The Cardinal Way' (TM), which is, when Billy Hamilton steals you don't even throw it because the last thing you want to do is put him on third base" ... uhm, yeah, no, that's... wow. Sure. Our regular catcher is a guy who is so dominant that few even try to run on him, so naturally the Cardinal Way is to let some guy steal 2nd all day long because the only alternative is putting him on 3rd on the throw. Sounds legit.

Winning run who looks like he's about to fly apart at the seams when he runs on 3rd? Check. Set-up for an inning-ending double-play? Check. Let's end the drama... c'mon...

PotatoJudge posted:So is Festus the most rednecky town in Missouri? Because that's a pretty rednecky name for a town. Not really. Factoring in redneckism both in population and name, I'd go with a tiny town/hamlet/whatever called Akers. It's an antique ferry crossing a shallow river, a nearby canoe rental & general store, and that's about it. And the name is just some family's name: Akers. Doesn't get more redneck than that.
