Wonder if that gutless hack Martinez will whine about being disrespected again.  All star arm with peewee league brain.  Thanks for likely costing us the series hack job 

I've Never thought Martinez had an All-star arm! Questionable control - doesn't have a great slider or a great curve or a great change up. When you think the stupid front office could have had Chris Sale for  a few million more, makes you sick.

(On August 13, Sale recorded the 2,000th strikeout of his major league career; he reached that mark in 1,626 innings pitched, the fewest innings needed to accomplish the feat in MLB history.) 

I'll be shocked if the Cardinals win this series.

As much as I agree with you about Martinez being a whiny head case, when you score one run in 18 innings you're not going to win too many series even if Mariano Rivera in his prime were your closer. 

It’s the postseason, even with a good offensive team (which we obviously aren’t) you are going to get into a lot of tight pitching duels.  I’m completely over Martinez at this point, him complaining about being disrespected when he is doing childish sh*t like blowing kisses at base runners was the final straw.  How was it Tommy Pham got run out of town for “attitude” and this headcase bum got a pay raise?

Yes, I know what a blown save is. What is it about the following statement that you disagree with?

when you score one run in 18 innings you're not going to win too many series even if Mariano Rivera in his prime were your closer. 

Even more to the point, you'd better do a lot better than scoring one run in 18 innings when someone with the obvious deficiencies of Martinez is your closer. This team isn't going to lose because of one player; it will be a collective effort.

I’m not sure which team is more of a fraud.  The 2019 or 2015 team. Neither has or had any business in the playoffs.

  • Yeah, that's a tough call, but I'm going to go with this one.

I agree in general, but one bad closer Can cost you in a short series. I put that loss on Martinez.

If  the Cards had a Rivera, most likely would have won scoring only 1 run. Martinez ERA in this series = 16.20!

Ahhh come on you negative nancys.  This was a .500 team at the All Star Break.  They are one game from playing for the pennant.  Just roll with it and have some...hopefully...fun.
