Runners in (Not) Scoring Position

by Nick May 7, 2010

This year’s Cardinal team has struggled mightily putting the ball in play with runners in scoring position.  I’ll allow the numbers to speak for themselves (and note that these numbers are PRE-Thursday’s game): Split G PA AB R HR RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS BAbip RISP 28 310 252 100 12 92 45 […]

Review: STLToday.com Cardinals iPhone App

by Nick May 6, 2010

By now you’re probably aware that the folks at STLToday.com released a mobile app dedicated exclusively to their Cardinals coverage. I received a review copy of the app and have been using it on my iPhone for the last week.  (The app is also available for Android, Blackberry, Palm and Windows Mobile.) At $2.99 to […]

Pitchers Hit Eighth turns two

by Nick May 5, 2010

See what I did there?  A baseball pun? Today marks the second birthday (or anniversary, however you look at it) of this humble little site. In May 2008, I led things off with a post that really had nothing to do with the Cardinals – “Soriano = Zito?” – which is strangely being made to […]

Cardinals 6, Phillies 3 – Taser 1, Philly Fan 0

by Nick May 4, 2010

Well, the game wasn’t really the story last night, was it? It’s still difficult for me to determine exactly when, by watching the various videos of the incident, the young man was tasered, but the lead photo at Deadspin makes it clear that it actually happened. Wonder if a person that would run onto the […]

Random thoughts on the weekend series

by Nick May 3, 2010

Time to play catch up with all of the random things flailing about in my brain over the weekend and this morning: Batting in the ninth slot agrees with Brendan Ryan.  He’s got 5 hits in 16 at-bats and 2 walks since Tony La Russa has gone back to the well with the pitcher-eighth lineup.  […]

Fantasy: The Innings Count

by fbhotstove April 30, 2010

[Ed. note – As someone who admittedly knows very little about succeeding in Fantasy Baseball (just check the PH8 league standings), I reached out to a PH8 reader and fellow blogger to try and add some value to our site re: fantasy updates and opinion – Mark graciously accepted and will be contributing to the […]

[Redbird Reveille] Seven Honks for Jaime, Crooked Numbers

by Nick April 29, 2010

Honk, Honk, Honk, Honk, Honk, Honk, Honk One for each magnificent inning pitched by PH8-adopted starting pitcher Jaime Garcia. Jaime was brilliant again last night, striking out five while only walking one and allowing four hits over seven strong innings. His pitch count got up into triple digits (102), which mildly concerns me, and should […]

Link: C70’s Guide to Cardinal Blogs

by Nick April 29, 2010

Daniel over at C70 At The Bat spent what can only be imagined as many hours (days?) putting together a truly comprehensive guide to the ever-growing number of blogs writing about the Cardinals. If you’re not already aware, Daniel deserves a lot of the credit for organizing the blogs, not only in this list, but […]

OOTP 11 picks a winner, Pujols swings, Have Blog: Will Travel

by Nick April 28, 2010

Out of the Park Baseball 11 picks a winner (and so does PH8) As you may or may not know, the kind folks at OOTP Developments provided us with a copy of their game to give away to a lucky reader. That reader was Justyn (or @cyyoung29 on Twitter), and he has hopefully by now […]
