Peavy smiles and says: “I try not to yell; I try not to swear. But at 7 o’clock every night, I turn into someone different. I’m out there trying to focus. I’m competing. I can’t control myself. But I have three little boys. I want them to be able to watch their daddy pitch without hearing all the yelling.

Dunn smiles and says: “I make fun of Jake. I mock him. I can’t even make the sound he makes when he’s out there; it will hurt my throat. We do an over/under on when he’s going to first yell at ...

That's three 2-strike fouls by Harper

Harper is the only guy the Cardinals can get out so far in this series.

obviously the post season is causing him to choke, as he treated Cardinal pitching as if it was batting practice in the regular season. :)

Whoa, I didn't know you could get a hit in that situation! Freese saves the inning. Of course, now it will get Descalso'd...

I will be very happy if the 2013 MLB AtBat app includes "in play, run(s)/out(s)" and "in play, run(s)/no out" as play descriptions. There is ample space for it and it would add a lot.

As long as we don't get bases loaded with no outs, we should be in good shape.

It's bothering Garcia.

I give Garcia a better shot than Kozma of getting Freese in

Oh god. Kozma has a calmness about him. I wonder, is the calmness in his eyes?

Freese at bat where the first three pitches were all in TBS's K-Zone and were all called balls?

Why Skip and not Carpenter??

Oh wait, Matheny did the same thing yesterday because Skip's a veteran.

Shadows too. Need a shadow-indicator in the app.

This is... weird.

Jaime's actually been a better hitter in 2012 than Skip

Too early to burn Carpenter.

Garcia has a look on his face like "Are you ******* kidding me?" And frankly, it's hard to blame him.

75. esseff posted on October 08, 2012 at 05:36 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Hell of a play. And, yes, good job by Skippy.

Can't even get the double play...poorly done Desmond.

Skip far exceeds my expectations. Should have let Garcia hit, though, he's a power threat.

78. salvomania posted on October 08, 2012 at 05:36 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

And frankly, it's hard to blame him.

Maybe next time he shouldn't walk three guys, run five 3-2 counts and throw 50+ pitches in the first two innings while putting his team in a hole in a pretty-much must-win game.

Jay drives in another run... let's hope that is just the beginning. 4-1 Cards right now, Lynn coming in to pitch.

It's not about space.

Espinosa was blocking the bag there. Still, 4 runs is 4 runs.

[71] He hits LHP pretty well. There's really no one else, unless Gardner can play.

It would be crazy not to pull Garcia, he is walking a very narrow tightrope and already got burned once.

He more or less met my expectation. A ground out scoring the run in from third was about what to expect, for a .270 hitter who strikes out about 15% of the time.

86. salvomania posted on October 08, 2012 at 05:38 PM # hit 0 | hit 0

Four runs seems like a molasses flood. Huge and unexpected. And possibly a crushing blow.

Give Descalso credit for hustling home before the tag at second.

Are you gonna do this all post-season?

I wouldn't say it's crazy not to pull him, pitchers often times settle down as the game progress's, especially with the advantage of a lead. I probably would have pulled him if I had both Lynn/Kelly on the bench, but I don't think it's a no brainer.

Lance Lynn has been huge the last few weeks.

Eduardo Nunez and Lew Ford have started games at DH this series.

Yes. I think those are both justified.

Lynn just made me feel 10000% better about this game.

Possible unintended side benefit of quick hook for Garcia, if the series goes deep: a second loogy in the 'pen.

Yep, nothing against Garcia, but he was nibbling too much.
