Thank God Nate is so fast.
So he can get on base to lead off an inning and then just drop anchor. That speed really pays off.

I loved the fact that the Braves won’t even try to steal a base anymore, unless it is Mac. They are asking to lose this game. The Cards bullpen is shyt, but they look great against us.

By the way, I bet Mather hasn’t had a single sac bunt all year. Maybe the last two years?
So you bring him up in the ninth inning and ask him to do something, at the major league level, against a reliver with pretty nasty stuff, and ask him to do it?
Yep. Got what you deserved. I dont mind bunting the winning run to second. But I dont use THAT guy to do it.

Unless he’s your best bunter which clearly he’s NOT he shouldn’t be in the game hell he didn’t even have a great BA in AAA he shouldn’t even be in the stadium!!!!!! Great call Fredi!!

Hey team, how ’bout that awesome strategy I used in the bottom of the ninth!
Once McLouth managed to reach base, I pull back Hinske in favor of Mather – Awesome!!!
Forget that Hinske is our best (only) pinch hitter, but Mather just got the callup so I’ll put him in the game to sac the runner over. What? He’s never had a sacrifice? No, I won’t use a pitcher to sacrifice, I have a FEELING about this – again, awesome!
Ok so Mather didn’t work, but there’s no need to let McLouth steal here. I know STL’s backup catcher is 50 yrs old and took a concussion from McLouth, but I just don’t think we can risk our one base runner here, even though STL’s heart of the order would come to bat in the 10th. Again, FREAKIN’ AWESOME IN GAME DECISIONS!!! YEAH!!!!!
