Bring Preston in, move Gooch to right and play Wilson in left... or maybe Wilson in right since he probably has a stronger, more accurate arm.

Verlander through four: 81 Pitches, 44 strikes.

Weaver through four: 47 pitches, 33 strikes.

I've lost all respect for you.

Kidding of course... I think...

I would not be angry at a defensive replacement... maybe wait for a double switch though?

Weaver bounces back nicely by striking out Inge and Verlander to start the fifth.

Yeah, but Weaver has been nails tonight (outside of the mistake to Casey). I don't think he's coming out anytime soon.

Granderson seeing more heat from Weaver tonight than he has from every Cardinals pitcher combined up to this point...hell, probably more heat in this AB.

Seven FBs to Granderson in that AB...he finally walked.

Nice to see some communication out there in the field...Monroe still hasn't figured out the slider.

Geez Weaver, can't you even strike out the side?

Man he's on tonight!

Dream Weaver,
I believe you can get a $10 million contraaaaact

If there's one thing Granderson can hit, it's fastballs... I don't know why they didn't pound him with breaking stuff, like they have done the rest of the series.

Keeping him honest, maybe? I dunno.

If Weaver gets a $10 million per contract this offseason...it sure as heck better not be from us.

I love the man and what he's done for us this postseason...but he's no $10 million dollar pitcher.
