Bour

[Broad Street]

I don’t think Bour got enough credit for his at bat last night, so I decided to give him his own thread. To come off the bench like that on a 3-2 count and get a hit on the first pitch? Incredible.

Bour is an important part of that clubhouse right now.

It’s horribly difficult for anyone to go through this. I imagine going through it a second time is off the charts difficult.

He is. Not to hijack the thread topic though, I did see a tweet from a Dr. Jesse Morse saying he thinks La Stella probably broke his leg. Said it was likely a tibial plateau fracture. Idk how legit he is, but hopefully the scans come back negative today.

For him and Pujols. Pujols was on the Cardinals team that lost Darryl Kyle

Yep. This is not a criticism, but I noticed Pujols wasn’t present for either the pre or post game news conferences.

He was hurt, and was probably getting checked out.

Who? Has he seen the injury? If not, how the hell would he know?

This jackass doctor lives in Florida. He is talking out of his ass.

He’s just assuming. Just like people did when KD went down. Everyone looked at it and said “Achilles”. I’m sure he’s just doing the same thing.

I officially have nothing to say about Bour's performance since he was called back up.

While you’re at it...

Ausmus clearly had to use Simmons to replace La Stella, but he also realized he had the bases loaded in a one-run game so he first used Bour to hit, then he put Simmons in  

It turned out to be a good move.

I didn't get that move. Considering what's happened, I'll give them all the benefit of the doubt, but Simmons is the type of hitter you want up in that situation. Bour is not.  He found a hole.  Smart hitting?

At first I thought it might be an emotional thing.... maybe Simmons indicated he wasnt ready to hit.... or Ausmus determined that.  Then, he pinch ran.  That's different than hitting. Still could've been an emotional thing. Glad it worked out.

I think he was looking for the chance at a grand slam. Obviously he didn’t get that, but it worked. 

I just figured since it’s always the managers fault when a move doesn’t work that he should get credit when it does.
