Cardinals 7, Pirates 2

PrintSo much for the sweep. Home runs and Allen Craig shared top billing in this one, and the two stars shared the stage for a couple songs as well. Craig hit a two-run jack off Paul Maholm in the first, then added a solo homer in the seventh. He also had an infield single in the eighth that also led to a run on an error by Brandon Wood.
Meanwhile, Kyle Lohse notched seven strikeouts in seven innings, giving up both runs on a homer by Jose Tabata. The Bucs managed just six hits total in the game.
Oh, and Tony LaRussa amusingly replaced Mark Rzepczynski with the Cardinals up five runs with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. Weird.
Oh well. At least the Bucs got two out of three. And Clint Hurdle doesn't have a local commercial like this.

yay and not so much
yay that i can return from my self imposed hiatus from the game thread. kinda going with the mojo since i hadnt been around for the last two games….plus TOR kinda occupying my time. not so much yay on the loss, paul has not pitched well in key games and that is concerning….to say the least. good to see tabs’ going yard. not so much yay on the 8th inning. who couldnt keep them close this time?

Is Evan Meek finished for this season?
I don’t remember his status, the Bucs miss his services this year.
There has been a report that he will pitch in a simulated game tomorrow
or the next day and if that goes well he will start his rehab assignment soon thereafter – in Brandenton, I think.

Went to the game tonight
First inning pretty much killed the crowd. They almost woke up when Doumit hit what they thought was a game tying HR in the bottom half, but once the Pirates left the bases loaded it was pretty much over.
One of the more amusing things I’ve seen at a game was the reaction from the crowd after Brandon Wood made that ridiculous error where he raced towards third, missed the bag, and threw ball away. No one booed, no one gasped, just 10,000 people quietly got up and left.
That was maddening
The first inning, not the people leaving (that was funny). To come so agonizingly close twice in one inning, and to come away with nothing…. Especially since Craig’s first HR was, per the announcers, much less impressive off the bat.
The inability of this team to complete sweeps really is extraordinary.
this game was a great way ......
to end a horrible day.
first i find out i do not have a dorm at college, then i get crazy sunburn, and finally this game. just gonna pretend this day didn’t happen.
Also, What does everyone think of Brad Lincoln? does he have a future in the majors? I am really down on him, i do not like what i see, at all
With regard to Lincoln it is hard to judge since they don't use him much
It is hard for me to understant their thinking as to why they have him in Pittsburgh instead of, say, Moskos or Watson.

since we're out of contention, maybe they want to see Lincoln in MLB situations
he may be dealt in the offseason. watson will be back up sept 1st, if not sooner
But then I don't understand why they don't just replace Correia in the rotation with him.
Doesn’t Lincoln project as a starter going forward?

I would think Lincoln would have to stay a starter
for now…..I would give him another year of being a starter due to never knowing when a guy can snap back to old form from Tommy John surgery. If he fails, its bullpen time in order to have a shot at contributing to the MLB level.
why replace Correia?
lincoln isnt showing that hes any better than KC, and Correia has a 2 year deal.
Lincoln...
will probably get sent back down on Monday when they call up Ohlendorf to start one of the games of the DH. Figure they will keep Lincoln on the roster through Game 1, then send him down and have Ohlie start game 2.
I read that this was Kyle Lohse's seson high K total
I feel like I’ve been hearing that a lot. Anyone know how many pitchers have had thier season high Ks against the Bucs?
this
for people in general to complain about individuals k rate…the whole team doesnt it at an astounding clip

they certainly do.
which is why this team needs a guy who can actually hit, not just someone who hits homers
2 things about this game...
1. why on earth did maholm get pulled? everyone in the staduim knew steve pearce would not only make an out, but not advance the runner.
2. The missed play by cedeno, not coming home, and allowing the pitcher to drive in that run, realy cost us the game. The brandon wood error was worse, this one was more crucial.
team game team loss
you could also argue that giving up crooked numbers twice, once early once late killed the chances. i dont ever buy into one play caused a loss. same thing applies to that debacle in Atlanta, you dont go to 19 innings with out missing opportunity after opportunity. 8th inning strikes again…there are probably a ton of issues that caused the loss, this is just one play in many that contributed to it.

especially since we never added a 3rd run in the first place
so how is their 4th run the one that cost us.
Oh and I have no clue how Hurdle didn’t just bunt Paulie there
