LTA's MLB Plays

**Trivial** · 10-14-11, 12:10 PM

Thanks LTA. I've locked in this play today. Wishing us all lock brother.

Who is the umpire tonight?

**upscope** · 10-14-11, 12:57 PM

Bill Miller

**TucsonTom** · 10-14-11, 01:02 PM

Thanks upscope. Wind is blowing out to right tonight around 10 m.p.h. Does that make a difference to anybody?

The under???

That is going to be a tough one to bet on...both pitchers last time out gave up 6 runs a piece by the 7th.

So are you saying that because the teams went over last time against these pitchers, the same will happen tonight? You do understand that is severely flawed thinking, right?

No...the wind is projected to more cross field than directly out to right and busch is a pretty expansive park. Wind cannot really be deemed significant until it reaches at least 12 mph and tonight it is projected around 8 mph. That does not concern me. GL.

Upscope you still haven't answered where are you getting this Grienke has a speech impediment thing from? Also, lots of ballplayers do not speak english well or at all and they seem to be fine. Even if Grienke did have an impediment I do not think it should factor into how one caps a game. Just my opinion.

Its a completely irrelevant factor.

Like you said there are all sorts of nationalities and languages in the game, and it is not as if Grienke is unable to speak.

If it was a factor the brewers have dealt with it all season and I hardly imagine they would allow it to be a problem at this stage.

**Redscot** · 10-14-11, 04:42 PM

Ha, sometimes you get Japanese pitchers throwing to Hispanic catchers. They speak baseball, they can communicate enough. As for Greinke, that is a total non-issue.

GL tonight all, heading out to opening day of the Dominican League in a bit. Curious how many of you out there get lines on the games? After a week or two of the lineups sorting out, may put some plays out there.

Hopefully when I get home the Cards game will be nice and low scoring

Im not sure if my locals will offer DR lines, but if they do I will tail your plays....i have no doubts you know everything about those prospects.

Good luck tonight and enjoy the games

That wasn't me who originally said he had a speech impediment. I just agreed that it could cause problems w/ communication if true. To be honest w/ you I've never heard of him having a speech impediment either...lol
And I've already agreed that it is too minor to be capping games over as well.

Really? Grienke hasn't been good on the road this year, especially in a hostile environment like St. Louis. He has a speech impediment, and a social anxiety issue - I'm pretty sure he'll have a stroke before the 5th.

Just sayin... I was in STL all day to day and was rather windy... I know their forecast shows wind from 12 to 19 mph around the start and duration of most of the game... not sure that means anything I like the under as well

Well you would know better than I if you live in stl. However, according to the link below, you are incorrect....do you have another website with different info? The below site says 9 mph winds from wnw....

For what it's worth. Sports options has the following:

"Wind out to right 12-17, Gusty. Game temp 63, RH 35%"

Also

Digital Liquid - Page Not Found

http://www.digitalliquid.com/ballpark/

Digital Liquid Studio

Shows 14mph from 3rd base out to right.

Not sure it should change this play though. GL

Hm... LTA, should I still lock up the under? Let me know, thanks !

**hardball** · 10-14-11, 06:43 PM

Both of these pitchers have a fly ball rate of less than 30%. I'm not convinced the wind is going to be a HUGE factor.

Uh that play was terrible. Right through the legs.

**TucsonTom** · 10-14-11, 07:43 PM

2 run error to the pitcher.... ouch

I'd like to kick that pitcher in the same spot right now. F*ck.

That was more of Harrison's fault and Weeks should have had that.

**Trivial** · 10-14-11, 08:39 PM

5 runs in half the game. Lets hope to zero out the rest like 2 nights ago.

Unreal! This one is on the Brewers defense, they just didn't show up today.

**Love The Action** · 10-14-11, 10:21 PM

Well that sucked...pretty pathetic display of defense.

**Redscot** · 10-15-11, 06:33 AM

A night of futility, errors in baseball missed FG's and questionable strategy in football.

To top it off I left the Dominican League game with the home team losing in the top of the 9th 9-2.......They came back and won 10-9 and I missed the excitement

rushing home to watch Hawii F me over. Such is life. Let's get'em today LTA

I know what you meant my friend. No worries.

**Adm. Cowpollock** · 10-15-11, 07:54 AM

Incredibly, Greinke didn't strike out a single batter in 5.2 IP. Only the second time in 200 career starts that Greinke failed to K a batter. Huh.
