As for tonight's: Lowe was on form and it was the second most criminal act of the night for him to get the loss. The most criminal act was sending Andruw Jones up to pinch hit in that situation. Is it just me or does he strike out on the same pitch ever time? A fastball tailing off the plate.
Put him on the 15 day DL and commence electro-shock therapy imo.

No, it's usually the slider that looks to him like it's a low outside strike, and then it ducks away on him very late. He is a sucker for anything low and away. So, they were probably talkin' over which low outside pitch they wanted to use, and he (of course) swung at it. He sure is a guy who will swing away. I don't know if I have seen him go down on a called strike 3. BTW, I think Lowe is pretty use to it by now. If the opposing pitcher is any good, he knows he won't win. They just can't hit anybody that can pitch even a lil bit well. Somehow, they collected a bunch of hitters that can only hit the bad pitching in the league. They had no problem with getting enough runs against the Reds etc., but the Cards kill us. They have an actual pitching coach that knows wtf he is doing. Honeysucker is lucky to get 5 innings out of starters. That was a pretty mediocre pitcher, and he is a very mediocre pitching coach. Somebody else could probably get 20 wins a year from Billingsley or Penney. Don't think they even try to coach Penney. Just let the slob go out there and heeve it. See what happens.
