Northwestern

[UofLouisville]

Didn't hear pre-game so couldn't speculate and haven't heard announcers even mention. Bardman probably has the right of it and CDM figured since offense is rolling it could be good chance for Detmers to get some experience.

 

[UofLouisville]

Never mind

 

[UofLouisville]

Detmers falling off towards first base when he overthrown. No control. When he finishes balanced, he's got good command

 

[Bardman]

Still guessing we’ll see Forbes this week (assuming be’s felling better). My guess is we’ll see several arms today due to the mid-week games.

 

[Bardman]

Looking like the Bad News Bears right now.

 

[UofLouisville]

A comedy of errors

 

[UofLouisville]

Never seen a ball end up inside a players shirt before.

 

[TheRealVille]

Apparently, the guys were not ready to play baseball today. I suppose a letdown was in order after winning 10 in a roll.

Glad to hear Forbes just sick and not hurt.
The boys didn't come to play today,no doubt. Hope they wake up soon

 

[Bardman]

Plenty of time. They have made some solid contact at the plate. Hartman in to pitch.

 

[earsky]

Weird game so far. I'm having flashbacks from last year
Pitchers struggling,swinging at balls in the dirt,etc
I just want to see a spark...soon

BA with a SPARK?!!
LET'S GO CARDS!!

Oh yeah,and McCoy reverting back to his old ways.

 

[CardX]

Looks like one of those days. Maybe they can rally. They act like they don’t want to be out there.

 

[UofLouisville]

A chance to get some runs across here in the 7th. Need to string a few hits together.

I think it's the 'Series clinch' hangover. Definitely flat.

Pitcher using Lippe's aggression against him jamming him on the hands. Mike gonna have to start pulling some of those.

 

[UofLouisville]

Alicea! What a fantastic play to get out of that jam

 

[CardX]

Despite the poor play, the Cards still had a shot in the 9th. I’d rather Humphrey had gone down swinging, but that’s baseball. Let’s start a new win streak on Tuesday.

McCoy - defensive mistakes and striking out again. Hello .250 my old friend.

Good idea. Just in time for league play

 

[UofLouisville]

I think we got unlucky at the plate in the first few innings, our guys hit the ball hard, just right at someone. Northwestern played solid d, which we didn't. That right fielder made one hell of a catch at the fence late in the game. Sometimes it doesn't go your way. Detmers will be a solid pitcher in the future, just needs to stay in a rhythm and not over throw. Will be easy to see the difference in his delivery on balls and strikes. Finally going to get a chance to get out there this upcoming week, can't wait! Go Cards!

 

[earsky]

I really don't get frustrated by physical errors. They happen. The pop up that fell is usually caught but the damn wind over there can be brutal and it played into that one. And I don't mind guys going down swinging,it's the backward K’s that drive me crazy
Those and the walks. Agree about Detmers. I thought Mac tinkered a bit by taking Moore out but hell he might be sick too.

I look for the lineup to solidify over the next few weeks as Mac searches for consistency. I think we'll see Mr.Hoy back this week and we really start to ramp it up for the start of ACC play this weekend with VA Tech I think before we go to Wake Forest weekend after next.

Forbes sighting @Patterson.
He looks to be on the mend
