We made it to page 2 and forgot to mention that Waino and Yadi will set a record tonight with their 325th start as a battery. It would be pretty sweet to make #325 a shutout!
Although I’m really happy to see Wainwright/Molina get the battery-mate record in tonight’s ballgame, I genuinely feel that the Cardinal marketing kids and even the local media outlets are promoting it with a bit more hype that this sort of record deserves. I mean, it’s nice and all. They’re two of my all time favorite Redbird players, but before they started getting somewhat close to the record, I wasn’t even aware that Lolich and Freehan held this record, and they were both two guys that I was very familiar with as a kid growing up. In any event, the battery-mate record, to me, would have been not at all unlike a trivia type baseball question just a few years ago.
It has been a surprise that Albert has had such a good final season. But it is not unprecedented. Just because a guy plays better does not mean he has juiced up.
I don’t think Albert’s character is such that he would do that. Could be wrong obviously. But that is my opinion.
BikeMike…I genuinely think he’s playing better because he’s amped up…Not on the juice, but on the fact that he’s back in a Redbird uniform and playing in front of the fans who love watching him destroy the baseball during a genuine pennant race. Just like old times! No question about it…
And just like that Billy -Nado swung his bat and knocked a dinger over the wall and tied the game! And then Yadi hit a base hit and knocked Donovan in to go ahead!
Lotta hits both teams so far. Waino needs to get that curve to bite down or its gonna be a long night JJ
Brewers have had many hit balls find the holes so far in this series. They’re on a BABIP roll right now.
Yep, 1td, that was good to see.
Strike ’em out, throw ’em out. Wainwright needed that. Pitch count was looking awful.
