Can’t believe it’s been this long already, and can’t believe the date slipped by even this long. It’s not one year to the day, but a couple days ago marked the anniversary of our foray onto Twitter. What a wild ride it’s been, thanks to all of you following. Can anyone help with the Twitter […]
Ok, fine. I give. I’ve been through the splits. I have convinced myself that John Smoltz doesn’t have the bullets left to be a starting pitcher. I even made a pros and cons list! Word has been filtering through Twitter via Joe Strauss: Barring waiver claim, Smoltz to Cardinals Wednesday: STL Post-Dispatch #stlcards (Strauss also […]
I learned a new baseball term (or maybe just a local one) on Thursday night, when Derrick Goold Twittered back at yours truly explaining that Adam Wainwright’s getting out of another bases loaded situation on Tuesday night in Milwaukee was known as a ‘Houdini’. (Get it? Escape? Good.) Well, of course, the Play Index at […]

Trying to overcome nine walks from your pitching staff in one game is pretty difficult, yet there the Cardinals were, with the bases loaded and Yadier Molina at the plate. Alas, it wasn’t meant to be. As Brewers beat-man Tom Haudricourt Twittered during the game: Brewers-Cards, 4-4 in the 8th. If Brewers win, they pull […]

Wa-hey! That’s a winner! After another frustrating night on offense from the Cardinals (don’t know about you, but I find it virtually impossible to tell anymore if the Cardinal lineup is that bad, or if we are just seeing great pitching each night – let’s call it both), the Cards finally were able to make […]

Joe Thurston has cost the Cardinals several outs on the bases (and thus himself as a baserunner and potential run, obviously) this season. And when I say several, I mean a glaring amount, in comparison. This subject was first broached on Twitter by Matthew Leach, the answer to which I was quickly able to find […]

I’m trying to get myself into a regular habit of writing again, so I decided yesterday (with credit due to a lot of other blogs that do this and inspired me a bit) to start writing quick game recaps – just a few things from each day’s post-game thoughts. Unfortunately, I picked a bad day […]

Not on Twitter yet? Well, you should probably sign up. For one, you can follow @PitchersHit8th to get our updates live 24/7. (And doesn’t *that* sound exciting?!?!) Beyond that, you can keep tabs on what folks across baseball are saying about the Cardinals’ new draft pick, Shelby Miller.
Chris Carpenter’s fine outing against the Cincinnati Reds last night had me wondering: The Cardinals’ starting pitching staff has been phenominal (with a few hiccups) in the last month or so, but are they clearly distancing themselves from the rest of the league in that regard? Well, classic metrics tell us it is so. The […]
