I would not be surprised by this, but it really appears like Puig looks more comfortable in that 5 hole. It seemed like there at the end that being at the top of the lineup, he was pressing hard to get on base. I like the 5 spot for him as he seems to be letting the game come to him a bit more. Not to mention, I prefer Ethier lower in the lineup right now. He has never shown a great ability to jump right back into things after an injury. With the way Ellis has been playing the last 7/8 games, lets just stay with his hot hand in the 2 hole.
I just noticed that Card pitcher Adam Wainwright is 6' 7"... I knew he was large but not that large... Go Pirates...
I see your point about Puig's improvement in the 5 hole but I honestly think it's just him not his spot in the lineup. IMO, he'll be fine back up there. Also I hate Agon clogging the basepaths.
They crush righties so I'm scared about game 1 big time. Need the offense to do well cause I think the cards are gonna score a good amount
Dodgers in 5. Game 1 is going to be huge. The bats need to come to play and Greinke needs to pitch well. Should be a crazy series! I really like our chances of winning at least 1 of the first 2 games with Greinke and Kershaw taking the mound. :thumbsup:
We will lose the 1st 2 games, and then win 1 and lose the next 2. Sorry, I got this info from some Prius pilot bkitch that claims to be a Dodger fan but talks shit about Vin Scully and lives in Angel country. bkitch
The only thing that I don't like about the Cardinals is the simple fact that we don't have Waino for that first game..... On the other hand I have like the idea of the young rookies starting at home.... Kelly has been one if not thee number one pitcher for the Cards in the month of September... Without Kelly the Cards wouldn't have made it to the playoffs as the number one seed.. Game two is going to be something to watch as Wacha is going to toe the rubber.... This guy is a Waino look-a-like.... Nasty nasty stuff...
I hate the Cardinals so fucking much... a sweep would be amazing. P.S. I didn't see Wainwright's faggot face whine about the white towels at Busch. Fuck that bitch.

Beltran scares the hell out of me, but we crush righties too...especially if Ethier's in the lineup and ready to roll. and they have more righty starters than us as well. let's see if Greinke has a little bulldog in him. his ERA in his last 10 road games is 1.95
