Geez Mike, you better go pray about why your managing style sucks balls. Maybe Chiefshrink can give you some pointers......****head

What a way to end the game. Baez is incredible.
Doubt they end up playing tomorrow. Good opening series to welcome baseball season back. |

It didn't look like Peralta and/or Diaz were in the right position. Peralta was in between a cutoff position and covering third. Diaz held his position instead of being at third. On a short single that is the most common shift with runners on 1st and 2nd. On a deep hit short goes out to cut. It looked like Grichuk came up to throw and where he would normally go there was no one in place and he basically sort armed it into the infield.

The bottom line is that this team is still lacking in defensive fundamentals. Whether it was Peralta or Grichuk that botched it is pretty immaterial (well, less so with Peralta as I see no reason for him to be on the field anyway). Over 162 games, you'll see stuff like that put at least a game/month between us and the Cubs. They're just a more sound ballclub than we are. 2 games in and they have a win over us precisely because of defensive execution that they had that we didn't. And they damn near stole the first one for the same reason due to Carpenter's vapor lock. This isn't a fundamentally sound ballclub. Because it's led by an idiot. |

Oh, and I really miss Oquendo manning the hot corner. I don't know why I miss seeing him out there but I do.

Maybe I'm just imaging it, but it seems like we have a hard time putting pitchers away at the plate.
Possible big inning brewing for Chicago. |

More of that superlative redbird defense.
John Lackey goes 1st to 3rd on a single to CF because Fowler trots his ass over to get it and Lackey catches him napping. So what's Fowler do? Throws the ball up the line to Gyorko to give Jay a chance to advance from 1st to 2nd on the throw. It's a stupid, careless baseball team and has been since Matheny got here. It's only going to get worse as guys like Holliday leave and Molina fade away. When the 'old guard' of guys that were here under LaRussa start to be replaced by these ****ing knucklehead Matheny products, this team will be nigh on unwatchable. |
