At worst if they can stay out of the DP here they will guarantee McCutchen another AB.

Why on earth do you do that?

Jose had a 2-1 count and swung at ball three with that move.

Hurdle. I'm not gong to kick dirt on him, but that was a horrendous move.

The one thing they couldn't do. If this game ends with this score and AM in the on deck cricle someone has some explaining to do.

Not to mention he went into his slide about 5 feet too early. Really poor decision against a great catcher.

Mark the Shark sets em down. This is about as good as baseball gets. 20 years baby, time for some 9th inning magic.

A straight fast ball pitcher throwing gas down the middle and one of the best catchers ever to throw out base stealers ... its not the time. You had the momentum. You sacrificed your best catcher only to be thrown out by the pinch runner.

That was the best inning I've seen Melancon pitch in a while.

Hope Rosenthal blows it. He hasn't pitched in the series.

Much rather had them try to bunt him over than to try to steal...

Lets go Cutch!

He swung at ball four. We helped the Cards out the last three innings.

2 3 0
1 1 0

Damn!

I'm hoping for Cole. Burnett is struggling his last handful of starts.

Wainright isn't going to give up too many.

It's got to be Cole. Burnett was soooooo bad in the last game. Can't afford to give up any with Wainright going for them.

Burnett or Cole. Most likely Cole but don't underestimate Hurdle...

Either way I think we'll need our best against Wainright.

Marte and Walker need to take some pitches and just try to the ball hard. Both of them are struggling. Take an easy approach.

One more for your A's CanadianPF!

Balfour is the man. I love Victor but Balfour got a lot of respect from me for calling him out.

If you would have told me they would give up only two runs I would have loved our chances. Unfortunately Wacha was lights out.

Such a DUMB decision to try to steal on the best catcher in baseball. Stupid.

MUST go with Cole because the Cards OWN Burnett in St. Louis.

Hurdle just named Cole the starter for game 5. There you have it

No brainer. Too bad he didn't use his brain in the bottom of the 8th.
