GDT : Cardinals vs Cubs (7/27) ~ 6:45pm CDT

[Strummer Jones]

I'm serious. Get that lanky ZERO off the mound RIGHT NOW. I'm sick of Liberatore and I'm sick of him being at the center of some of the worst moments this season through his own direct action.

He needs to pitch six at least, if he cannot be effective at least give some innings. He may need a mound visit where the manager lights him up and tells him the facts of life. I'm sick of him too, but hopefully they will stick him in the pen after whatever they are doing at the trade deadline gets settled. The new Cardinal way.

I hope "bullpen" means DFA line.

good eye Walker
from 0-2 to a walk

[Futuregm2]

Should be 3-0, but Cards never challenge.

Most Cardinal batters are too timid about challenging obvious bad calls at the plate.

[82birds]

Herrera is a hitting machine.
ground ball hitting machine, that is.

They don’t know the strike zone. Their swings show that.

Sheryl and Lance are (upset), PCA....go to your room!!!!

Go ride a bike!

He's another who can go.

...Situational. Pretty early in the game, and they need them more later in the game... And, by not challenging, the count only went to 2-1. Not like it was a K, where a challenge would be more likely...

You guys are too hard on Matthew Liberatore.
His ERA for this game is still under 10.
Be nice.

True, his ERA has only gone up 5.18 to 5.26. When you suck enough it makes it harder to go up!

[11WSChamps]

Could be his last batter.

[cbcardsfan]

Pitching scared to PCS. No guts Libby. Grow a set.

[RunSup]

67 pitches from Libby and he's out after 3.2 innings.

[12xu]

4 straight balls to PCA and that is enough Liberatore for tonight.......
