Greinke vs Kelley
First of all--Greinke needs to throw at yadier Molina. greinke was in a scuffle earlier this yr, and has thrown at about 7 hitters this yr, partly because he can get out of jams anyway. So they need to paybac for the pitch Yadier called to hit hanley in the ribs and fracture on of em. And also b/c Yadier is acting like a 'cheer police' calling out Yasiel and Adrian for cheering--really? Oh, let's just play with no emotion and let you win your dull Cardinal baseball hitting .135 ???Oh. I say hit the bietch to send a message, either winning big or losing the game, hit Yadier as retribution.
BTW, NO HANLEY on Wednesday.
Doyers need to score early as they will not get a run off the last relievers--Cards have about 25 young relievers --all interchangeable--who throw 99 MOPH, which includes the 23 yr old Rosenthal.
So they need to score early.
Whoever scores first--wins. Stats bear this one out. Dodgers lose 75% and cards win 75% if Cards score first. No coming from behind.
Dodgers have outhit the Cards EVERY game. 4-0. So this is an excellent prop to take, Dodgers more hits paid -105 yesterday.
Matt Holliday SOMEHOW got a fastball on the first pitch--who called that one I wonder...Ellis?Holliday was 1 for 15 before that, and he'll go 1 for 15 after it too. Only Molina and beltran are clutch.
Expect another Cards' baseball game of hard pitching, dull tight affair, very braniac baseball. I see a poss shutout for Greinke, and poss the only way the Doyers can get to a game 6.
If Greinke retaliates on Yadier, I like their chances. If they wuss out and say "it's ok to knock out our best rbi guy..." then they lose.
Bottom line, wasted stranded hits has been the story. The games are theirs for the taking, but they dont REALLY wanna win. Cards want it more. They throw right at the ribs (HEART) of the Dodgrers and go for it.
