    In defense of Snit

    1) Duvall had a really good AB last night against a hard throwing righty. I know small sample. And the alternatives are Hech and Ortega.

    2) Melancon's cutter is a very good pitch against lefty hitters.

    3) From his closer days Melancon knows how to handle back to back games with relatively high pitch counts. If he didnt think he could go today he would have told Snit.
    "I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."

    "I am your retribution."

    Huh? The Cards don’t load up with platoon advantages. Have you been watching the last 2 games?

    I expect to see Teheran start game 4 if the Braves win game 3 so DK gets game 5 on extra rest. Fried is likely the BP stud the rest of the series

    If it gets to Game 5, its Folty's game.

    I think Folty gets a game 5 on regular rest.

    For me personally, I rank them 3rd behind the Dodgers and Cards and in front of Cubs and Giants.

    It went well over 400 feet so not a cheap shot.

    Snit is over managing with Mel as the closer, but he got the job done but I know YOU and others were biting your nails when two were on. I admit I was.

    Fried is a freaking monster. He can be an elite pitcher when he learns how to pitch like Glavine/Avery. His stuff is way better, but he has to understand.

    Dad just told me the Cards love going after the curve balls and how we loss yesterday but you see the pitch (high fast ball to strike him out) to that douchebag Molina, he said we should do that more often.

    Fried's stuff absolutely 100% is not better than Avery's.

    And Cards dont platoon, only thing i can see is Carpenter plays for Wong or Edman, thats about it.

    Molina, Goldy, Dejong, Edman/Wong, and their outfield will play regardless of SP.

    Duvall took advantage of a tiring starter, that is what made the match-up good. If he hadn't been tiring he likely doesn't make that mistake pitch.

    Yeah you guys are probably right.

    Perhaps they start DK in game 4 on short rest and then bring in Julio for Goldy’s 2nd PA.

    It's 1-1, so there's a game 4 regardless, Dakota Hudson for Game 4.

    Or maybe try Max for 2-3, DK for 2-3, Julio for 1, Greene for 1, MM for 1.

    Nobody is giving me credit for giving Taylor his redemption opportunity while Snit gets all the credit for giving Melancon a chance to get back.
