Peeved at Peavy
Jake Peavy certainly deserved the loss today. He's the one dependable pitcher the Padres start. A decent outing from Jake and the Padres win this game. Now they need to figure out how to win three games with Jake just starting one more time, and how to shut down the middle of the Cardinals order. St. Louis put themselves in a great position to win this series by neutralizing their opponents strength.
Nerves of steel--not.
However, I'm sure Cards fans will find a lot to fret about in this victory.
Yeah. This is one loss that makes both teams look bad--- the Padres for letting the Cards blow them away, but the Cardinals for not shutting the door.
Peavy basically made two bad pitches. Unfortunately, both left the yard. And his defense couldn't make the plays it had to make. And his offense couldn't come up with clutch hits.
Welcome to our world.
