That was an amazing catch and Joe Buck couldn't have been more bored to watch :roll:

Yes I remember that Uribe catch very well. Considering the point in the game/season that catch was it was very underrated. God I hate Joe Buck. Just terrible. I'm sure if that had been a Cardinal he would have treated it like the greatest catch of all time.

In his last start, Estrada lost a no-hitter in the 8th on a bloop single over the SS. Today, he lost a perfect game in the 8th on an infield single.

It's no Dave Stieb, but that has to be painful.
Estrada... is not this good.

That's true. But he definitely was that good the last two games. His changeup is spectacular.

he was so frustrating as a Brewer, Mike Fliers seems to be the same type of pitcher. I think A LOT of their success comes from the delivery. Hard to pick the ball up. but once the good hitters face them 3 or 4 times, they get more and more hittable.

Estrada did become more hittable the third time through the order.

Phil, I am not thrilled about heading to Toronto this weekend. My Rangers are a two out 9th inning hit from losing 7 in a row and we never play well up there. Plus you guys are bludgeoning the baseball. I would be happy with one win this weekend. :(

BTW I just bought MLB The Show 15. If memory serves a few of you guys play it. How are the roster updates? Excited to use all the Ranger rookies.

And the best offense in baseball is getting its starting second baseman back. So that helps.

I didn't realize Texas was in such a free-fall lately.

We were doing very well until last weekend. Need to get healthy if we wanna hang around in the division. Beltre just came back. Also, Hamilton, DeShields, Matt Harrison and Martin Perez should be back soon.

I always loved how the baseball games of today, would have just about EVERY player above 37 retire after one season, maybe two... Last one I got, 4 years ago for the Xbox, I stared a season 5 times, Ichiro retired after 1 season everytime...

I seriously think I remember the Brewers getting in the habit of taking him out after 6 just for that reason. But I might be thinking of another pitcher theyve had recently. Theyve had soooooooooooooooooo many frustrating pitchers like that.
Brewers cant seem to ever develop anything but #3/4 starters, who hit 100 pitches by the 6th.

Cool stat...and without Waino.

"The Cardinals have the best run differential (plus- 95) in the Majors as well as baseball's lowest ERA (2.63) by a sizable margin. No club has posted a lower ERA through this many games since 1972, when the Orioles' staff had a mark of 2.31."
