First off, Brandon Moss at first should NEVER take Grichuk out of this line up again. I don't care the stat, the defense, the righty/lefty, the anything. It is patently absurd. Secondly, at this point, and even before, Peralta in the 5 hole is criminal. Now, Game 3:http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/batvspitch/_/id/30145/jake-arrieta St. Louis Cardinals Career statistics vs. Jake Arrieta BATTER AB H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO AVG OBP SLG OPS Matt Carpenter 16 0 0 0 0 0 5 4 .000 .238 .000 .238 Tony Cruz 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 .333 .333 .333 .667 Greg Garcia 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 .000 .000 .000 .000 Randal Grichuk 3 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 .333 .333 1.000 1.333 Jason Heyward 18 6 1 0 0 1 0 3 .333 .333 .389 .722 Matt Holliday 15 1 0 0 0 0 2 5 .067 .176 .067 .243 Jon Jay 15 2 0 0 0 0 1 5 .133 .188 .133 .321 Yadier Molina 15 3 0 0 0 0 1 5 .200 .250 .200 .450 Brandon Moss 2 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 .000 .333 .000 .333 Jhonny Peralta 27 6 3 0 0 1 2 4 .222 .276 .333 .609 Thomas Pham 2 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 .500 .667 .500 1.167 Mark Reynolds 12 2 0 0 1 1 0 4 .167 .167 .417 .583 Kolten Wong 21 5 1 0 0 0 0 8 .238 .238 .286 .524 Totals 151 28 5 1 1 4 13 43 .185 .250 .252 .502 Ain't gonna happen but Peralta and Holiday should sit Monday night. We need good eyes, healthy players and contact hitters to face this guy. I'd rather see Garcia try to bunt than watch Peralta strike out on ball 4 again. As for 1 for 15 Holliday, I just threw him on the heap to blow up dawgs aorta valve. bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa That is all. |
