St Louis Cardinals Fans Sound Off!

With all the focus on Beltran's mammoth post-season play, I just ran into this little tidbit:

"Interesting stat: With his home run on Sunday, David Freese has now driven in 25 runs through his first 25 postseason games. According to ESPN Stats and Info, the only player with more RBIs through his first 25 postseason games is Lou Gehrig with 32."

Win or lose the rest of the way, the Cards have done better than I ever thought they would. The fans always thought they had the offense, as inconsistant as it was at times. The surprise for me has been the bullpen. It seems to have gone from a weakness to a strength. That's been the missing piece all season. We'll see .......

Hopefully Carp can stick it out for 6 innings or more and give the pen a bit of rest heading into the rest of the series. Rzepchinsky as good as he was last year seems a bit shakey and I cringe when he steps in, good thing for Marte to even things out a bit. One arm I never get tired of seeing is Joe Kelly, he stays calm and has a Wainwright like slider that eats batters. As far as hitting goes home runs are great but it's the small ball the Cards have used that really impresses me (Even Holiday) taking pitches and fouling ones off to produce a base hit. They have a solid 6 man rotation that a pitcher has to get through and even then Descalso has been on lately and Kozma has made a name for himself. Speaking of Kozma he is either the Iceman or has something else going on, a bit dazed in the infield with errors and intercommunicated cutoffs like last night. Either way this series is great and the Giants have the same never say die attitude that almost won them the game last night
