Is it true that the Braves gave the game ball to Shildt after the game, as big thank you? If not, they should have. And there really needs to be an investigation into his finances to see who is paying him to throw that game. I don't think Matheny was even that stupid in the playoffs. For being such a solid Manager most of the year that was some of the worst decision making I've ever seen by a big league Manager in my lifetime.
Slim odds of winning two in a row but stranger things have happened...

Starting pitchers ERA for STL.....
19.2 IP, 4 ER, 1.83 ERA
Carlos “I’m good for at least 2” Martinez
2.1 IP. 6ER. 23.14 ERA
Bader reminded me of Wong getting picked off. A 50 year old man gives you nearly 8 innings of shutout baseball and keeps you in the game....and the offense manages 1 hit through 7 innings. Classic Jeckle and Hyde STL offense. Fowler is still a Cub and needs to just go away. DeJong is lost at the plate. Ozuna has finally found a way to hit the ball, but no one else can. Edman has fallen off his wagon. Should be 2-1 good guys, instead Martinez forks it up. Galegos was up and ready. That kid should be the closer. Has been lights out all season and the best young pickup tee have gotten in a trade. Martinez is a damn head case and shouldn’t see the files unless STL has a 10 run lead.
Mike Chit for brains said he would bring in Carlos in Game 4 in the exact same situation...........uhhhhhhh............has he watched Game 1 or 3??? Even MM wouldn’t go back with a Martinez with a one run game

FOWLER........the former, but in his heart a CUB, is 1 for 16 when he comes up to bat in the 9th. Jose Martinez on the bench, and you let 1 for 16 Fowler bat?????? He sure looked good striking out too!!! CUBS.... I partially dislike Lou Brock for being a Cub.

Carpenter cannot be on the field come Wednesday.
Edman goes to third. Arozarena goes to right. This is your best D with your best offense, both Carpenter and Bader on the bench.
Shildt has had 1 well managed game of the four. Hard to win with this kind of sh1t going on.

I think I'd rather see Edman moved to short and have DeJong forking sit along with Bader. They can both come off the bench and strike out as easily as they can be in the game.
Still, after watching Schilt put in his lunatic closer....NOT EVEN IN A SAVE SITUATION...I don't expect much thinking to come out of his head.

I’d rather see Fowler and Bader sit. Let Jose Martinez start
Sure you don’t get the best D but the Offense is needing help. Fowler can stay 1 for 17. No need to embarrass him more.
Sit Carp and play Edman.........and even sit Farmer DeJong and play Munoz. Give him a chance. Can’t be worse than we have now at the plate

I see Phambino is doing well for Tampa Bay. Should have never picked up Fowler 2 years ago. Phambino could have been used for a couple more years and it would have been good to have him in the outfield for another year or two before his eyes went to chit.

I recall Phambino getting trashed around here for years.
Some one even said his eyes would not hold up.

Just chalk it up with the rest of the predictions all of us have made in the past
I think I ran Gomer's prediction rate one time last year and it was 99.9992%

I know they kind of backed into this series with the Braves, and I agree that their bats are suspect, but I'm gonna say right now that I think it will be the Birds in 5.
Vegas be damned, bet it!!

Your snowflake rookie was offended by the tomahawk chop.Tomahawks weren't allowed in the stadium for game 5, resulting in a curse much like the Wrigley Field goat.
So , it wasn't a real win!! Supernatural , other world issue!
AND ...Molina is a punk!
Carry on , Homers!

Just don't wait to long to predict the Nationals series. Looking like a sweep right now, the way they are hitting.

Schildt is proving to be Matheny-like in his post season managing style. He seems to have a loyalty to some guys the supersedes the killer instinct to win. If there aren't some changes in this game today, they will get swept.
Carpenter needs to be coming off the bench. Fowler need to take his 2 for 139 to the bench as well. Move Edman to 3rd, let Martinez play right and cross your fingers they don't hit many out there. Let Arozarena play CF and see if he can do better than Fowler's .013 BA (unless Schildt is still PO'd at him for broadcasting his cuss-fest). Unfortunately, DeJong is needed for his glove, so bat him 8th and hope he doesn't come up in critical situations. That dude could not be more lost at the plate.
Rather embarrassing that a team in the NLCS has players that can't or won't adjust their approach at the plate when it is clearly needed. The idea of choking up to make contact or staying back to take the ball the other way or just not swinging from your heels seems to not even enter their minds... I don't think I've ever advocated firing a hitting coach but I have to wonder who is giving these guys guidance...
Gotta win tonight or this series is all but over...

Go Dawgs?????

He has lost a lot of credibility with this playoffs series. Once again, we see a Manager clinging to veteran players as if they and only they could possibly save the team from the depths they find themselves in. If he runs Fowler out there today, he will have zero credibility with any intelligent Cards fan.
I have to guess he's also gone old school with Arozarena. Broadcasting Shildt's expletive laden speech probably has him permanently on the bench for the playoffs, even if he could help. While it was a dumbarse move, Shildt needs to get over it and do what’s best for the team.
One thing is certain, he lacks the killer insticts needed to win in the playoffs. '
