    McWalk continues walking guys, 3 in less than 2 innings.

    We can't allow Valencia to continue to hit with men on bases because he should not be pitched anymore because right now he is hot.

    Great insight by Eric Chavez talking about McKay as first base coach.

    He said he would study pitchers and tell the runner, on the third pitch you run no. Then he said, Pujols had over 100 steals in St. Louis and many of those are thanks to McKay. Interesting!!!!!!!

    Well, he is the guy we CAN'T pitch to on this series. Is like us, the name is Correa. Many would say Reddick, but right now is Valencia.

    This team is too frustrating to watch on the road right now. Look totally inept for the most part away from MMP. Can tell the road futility is in their heads at this point and pitchers and hitters are pressing.

    Another good inning for McK.

    They pitched Valencia with high pitches, and McK threw it exactly where Conger wanted, and still hit the ball hard for a base hit.

    Vogt is a good hitter, but i think he is 3 for the last 30, and hitting behind Valencia. If there are runners in scoring position, throw balls and pitch Vogt instead.
