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.

They are insane for not making jones get the knee taken care of now. Get him out of the dugout for a month, send him on a minor league rehab assignment for a couple of weeks and hope he comes back for the end of the season in a better place. Plus it will void my bet with Scuds
