Juan taking with a 3-0 count...who woulda thunk it.

Although, he's actually been working the count fairly decently (especially for him) all post-season...he's just not squaring up when he's swinging.

Belliard looks like he's turned to Don King for inspiration this series...

Belliard Ks on a nasty change....still a pretty good AB though.

I was thinking that after Belliard did the bodyslam on Reyes in the NLCS, he's getting his inspiration from none other than Jimmy Superfly Snuka.

I like it.

It's like he just finished a NASCAR race and hasn't taken off his HANS device yet.

Good gameplan at the plate so far...Cards jumped on Verlander early when he was mostly going to focus on establishing his FB.

Now that he's mixing in the offspeed, they're being more selective at the plate and making him work the count. His stuff is filthy, so he's going to get his Ks...but the PC is already high (71 after 4) so any AB that goes deep in the count is a good AB from here on out.

I'm liking it.

What worries me about Reyes is that they've had a lot of hard hit balls...

How Reyes handles this inning is going to be huge.
