He hit 96 or 97 5 times in the 5th right?

 

None of them for strikes. Over-throwing. There's probably something there.

[User Name]

But yet he still hasn't allowed a hit.

 

What does that have to do with lowered velocity?

[Thunder]

What does that have to do with lowered velocity?

 

Meaning he's still as dominant, which is the most important thing.

Man if this game were Detroit vs the Red Sox heads would be exploding over here over the love the announcers are showing to Verlander

[jacksonianmarch]

Verlander has thrown 16 innings of shutout ball vs a pretty good offense, the last 8 in an elimination game. Good luck vs him. This is gonna be an awesome series

[Thunder]

Cardinals rotation is all out of Wach (reference to their SP Wacha), so the Dodgers have a shot at a 2-0 lead before they even play in LA.

Carlos Beltran I f***ING LOVE YOU

[Navafan29]

It's the 12th inning in the damn NLCS and the announcers sound like they're watching a regular season game. What the fudge.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Alas, it has ended.

Carlos Beltran I f***ING LOVE YOU

 

THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes!

Big blow for the Dodgers. Their best bet was two wins from Greinke and Kershaw each, since Wainwright against any other pitcher is pretty much an auto-win for the Cards.

[Jasonbay44]

Beltran in the playoffs is just ridiculous.

[Thunder]

Kershaw is being overused. He's going again tonight. This will come back and haunt him eventually. Meanwhile, Wacha has looked pretty good, so I wouldn't be surprised to see another Cardinals win tonight.

[redsoxrules]

Kershaw is pitching on regular rest this time.

 

Also, when Ellis got thrown out at the plate it looks like he was never even tagged so the Cards got a break there.

Where did the Cards get all these young pitchers?! f***.

Ellis himself said he was out:

"Yeah. It was pretty obvious," Ellis said. "I think everybody saw that."

Wacha gets out of huge jam

LA choking so far this series. They'll be in a 2 hole baring a miracle and don't want Carpenter and whoever the Cardinals have in store.

[Station 13]

Cardinals' pitching absolutely nasty this game.

Carpenter? What are you even talking about? He's been injured since the beginning of the season.

 

Anyways, stick a fork in the Dodgers, since they're almost guaranteed to lose against Wainwright and then it's just a matter of time, barring a miracle.

You're going to jinx it man, relax.

I wish i could. The way the Cards are playing right now, the Sox would have a much easier time against the Dodgers.

I just noticed that the Cardinals have 4 righties in the rotation, whereas the Dodgers have 2 of each. Cards could be a better matchup.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Anytime we can avoid Kershaw 2x in a series, it's a better matchup.

[Thunder]

Tigers also have 4 righties. Cards have Wainwright, Wacha, Kelly, and Lynn and Tigers have Scherzer, Verlander, Sanchez, and Fister. Not much of a difference.

With the exception of Wainwright, none of those guys hold a candle to Scherzer, Verlander, Sanchez.

Cards have a better offense and BP. The Dodgers are without Kemp, Ethier is hobbled and Hanley has lingering issues. How are the Dodgers a harder matchup again?

[Thunder]

With the exception of Wainwright, none of those guys hold a candle to Scherzer, Verlander, Sanchez.

 

Wacha has potential. He has been great all year and has a bright future. He's a comparison to Sanchez. Wainwright is at best a solid Verlander.

[redsoxrules]

Jay is such a terrible CF on Defense.

And offense.
