Hey anyone know of a live stream anywhere online for that C. Jones pre game stuff and is it Friday or Saturday?

Let’s see if the Cards can take 3 from the Nats and give the Braves a chance to close the gap on the division.

Tommy’s 1st pitch looked exactly like one of Medlen’s. I’m pulling for him to do well. 1st two outs: no sweat.

I’d love to see KIMBREL win the CY, but if it isn’t gonna be him, I’m rooting for Mr. DICKEY, and I’m happy to see he picked up his 20th win this afternoon.

I second that. Dickey’s played on a lesser team than has Gio Gonzalez, and has still managed 20 wins with limited run support. Remarkable.

Looks like Mr. Hanson has his A-game tonight. Just looking at the box score, don’t have any other access to the game. Three outs on 10 pitches, with 8 of them being strikes.

Let’s go Hanson!!!

You have to pull for a guy like Dickey. The personal demons he’s overcome and the bumpy career path he’s had to follow would make putty of most of us. And the guy is a humanitarian, active in both aid to Latin America and the fight against human trafficking. Oh, and he’s had a dream season.

Looks like Hanson has been tutored on his pick-off move by his buddy Medlen: he had Lee at 1st.

JC Brave

Might be a good idea to have someone playing catch in the pen right from this moment…

Tough inning. But maybe getting out of it will boost Hanson’s confidence.

Tommy Hanson should be the last possible pitcher to start a playoff game. He’s only good for 5 innings if he gets that far.

Tommy Hanson is garbage. Medlin gets an 0-2 count on a hitter and he’s just as good as out. Hanson goes 0-2 on a hitter and the hitter has him right where he wants him.

Yet again, Hanson is unable to put a hitter away after jumping ahead of him 0-2. That is the story of his career.

Hanson really sucks. It’s that simple. NO confidence in throwing a 89 MPH fastball. All you have to do is sit back and wait for a curve ball. I am curious what his curveball to fastball ratio is.

When Tommy “Full Count” returns to Tommy “Throw Strikes”, you’ll see him winning games again. Somebody needs to quit messin’ with his head. Just my opinion.

Hanson fell in love with his curveball in that inning. Five or more of them were big league hooks, but you can’t triple up on a pitch to a hitter like Lee.
