OUTSTANDING! What ever happens today and (a win will be nice) regardless things are looking good. Nice finish on a West swing, and this kid is just pitching his nads off this year. What a luxury having to give the ball to this guy as your 5th starter. Starting pitching has been really strong, Prado is way too good of a hitter to worry about, he will have a big year. Kimbrel is not M Rivera yet so cut the kid some slack. Great tools. Key is Chipper. Can he stay healthy and produce like he has all season. That will be the key folks.

Maybe Kieth Law will like Beachy more than a solid back end guy if he keeps this up.

Beachy’s starts against the Phils in September only excellerated this kids’ progress. He didn’t win but it spoke volumes on gaining confidence against a team like that and in that environment. Great experience.
Bobby pulled a rock bringing Kimbrel out Game 4 against the G-men. If he saves that game it goes a long way into developing the kid’’s confidence. He loses that game closing chalk it up to a great experience. Knowing Kimbrel is your closer next season he finishes that game against the lefty hitter. One man’s opinion.

a little frustrating that westbrook was able to battle thru six innings and keep the cards in the game, hopefully we can attack their pen now.

Freddie is hitting the ball hard,nothing to show for it but he is not striking out or swinging at bad pitches,he will adjust.

Let the record show, we just had a request to move Nate McLouth up in the lineup….that’s gotta be a first? Carroll
nah, some few of us have wanted him leading off since the season started, as soon as he started hitting some

Back to normal (Another feeble offensive performance)
LAG……….perhaps the Braves offense read my 2:19pm post and decided to score a couple of runs.
Make sure you don’t break your arm patting yourself on the back there.

I want to be mad at Fredi for how he handled that inning. But I just can’t. Beachy had been terrific and was under 100 pitches. So you wouldn’t pull him before the 8th. And maybe you pull him after the leadoff double — after all, in the 7th, the Cardinals had pretty good swings on him — but i can understand wanting him to pitch out of it.
Can’t walk Greene in that spot. Just can’t.
But again, I don’t blame him for leaving Beachy out there. That’s baseball.
Great outing. Bad finish.
