John Gant (0-0, 3.86 ERA) vs. RHP Jameson Taillon (7-7, 4.73 ERA) 12:35 pm FOX Sports Midwest
September 24, 2017 at 2:00 am #33960Starting with this game, there are eight more to go. These remaining games are virtual playoff games for us and the other two WC contenders.
September 24, 2017 at 8:35 am #33961I think our “playoffs” ended with the sweep at Wrigley, but I hope they prove me wrong.
September 24, 2017 at 8:51 am #33962bccranParticipantWhen they come home, I hope they’re ready to play with urgency, fire, and enthusiasm in front of the best fans in baseball.
September 24, 2017 at 11:38 am #33974This one looks tough. On paper, we are over-matched in starting pitching. You just hope that Gant is enough of an unknown that the Bucs have trouble with him. It’s almost an “all hands on deck” game as far as pitching goes.
September 24, 2017 at 1:59 pm #33988Pham has had a couple brain farts on defense today and that pop out is one of the reason’s this team is where its at. IT’s not a mentally strong or focus club or so it seems.
Oh and he pulls Molina last night knowing he gets a day off today.
September 24, 2017 at 2:18 pm #33991NJ315Participantuh Oh a bomb by Marte 3-1 Bucs
September 24, 2017 at 2:18 pm #33992I just don’t understand why Oh was allowed to face another batter. You have a guy up the 2nd he leaves the bullpen. Deer in headlights again!
Matheny must want to have next season as a do or die in regards to his job security.
September 24, 2017 at 2:23 pm #33994Oh being Oh, throws a couple of fat ones to Marte. Marte crushed the second one for a 2-run blast.
September 24, 2017 at 2:26 pm #33995At some point, Matheny has to trot a few of these duds out to the mound. Mo hasn’t given him many good pieces to work with. Matheny does far too many curious things for my liking, but I don’t understand why Mo doesn’t catch more heat for his failures the last couple years.
September 24, 2017 at 2:30 pm #33996NJ315ParticipantCecil gives up a homer to the first batter he faces 4-1
September 24, 2017 at 2:34 pm #33997Case in point: Matheny just trotted out $30 million dollars of failure to the mound after Oh’s bad inning. Cecil gave up a room service batting practice location pitch on his first pitch that got jacked. Cards down 4-1. Oh, this roster we have…..
September 24, 2017 at 2:47 pm #34000NJ315ParticipantIf he was trying to get into the postseason bringing in Oh at anytime would be wrong.
September 24, 2017 at 2:49 pm #34002NJ315Participant2 on ant 2 outs. Grichuk in for Carp against the lefty and Grichuk walks to load the bases. Up to Pham now Bucs bring a righty to face him.
September 24, 2017 at 2:54 pm #34003NJ315ParticipantPham hit it hard to third for the force out.
September 24, 2017 at 3:06 pm #34005Also, you can’t bring in Cecil, Duke, Bowman, and Sherriff because their ERAs are worse than Oh’s. Plus, you can’t start Gant if you want to make the playoffs either.
Our starters have combined for 3 and 2/3 innings the last two games. Matheny’s got some splaining to do….right. I get that Matheny makes many curious moves or non-moves with the pen, but this mess we’ve witnessed this weekend is not of his doing. I’ve seen Matheny criticized for leaving starters in too long and overworking the pen…in one post by the same poster. There were no right answers this weekend — Mo (the guy who got promoted) has made sure of that.
September 24, 2017 at 3:15 pm #34007bccranParticipantWe need more Nicasios.
September 24, 2017 at 3:19 pm #34008NJ315ParticipantOh is a mistake period. But the biggest culprit is Lynn with that putrid effort yesterday.
September 24, 2017 at 3:29 pm #34009When you need to put up a zero, Oh is not your guy. MM should know that. If it’s truly all hands on deck, then I don’t care who threw 20 pitches yesterday, go out there and pitch till your arm falls off.
September 24, 2017 at 3:32 pm #34010Cards lose.
Cubs win.
New England wins.About the only good thing so far today is that the Colts got a win. Hung on to beat Cleveland 31-28. Cleveland mind you.

September 24, 2017 at 3:48 pm #34011bccranParticipantThe biggest problem today was the weak offensive performance.
September 24, 2017 at 3:56 pm #34013Correct, we need more Nicasios. At least Mo got us one piece that’ll come in real handy IF we make the playoffs….gulp.
September 24, 2017 at 4:12 pm #34014bccranParticipantMakes it really tough when guys you count on like Oh and Cecil didn’t come through this season.
If those 2 had performed to expectations the Cards would be in the playoffs.September 24, 2017 at 4:15 pm #34015MM singing Oh’s and Cecil’s praises from LAST year as reasons why he puts them in “big situations” this year (post game interview). Anyone who doubts that MM is a key reason this team is struggling just needs to listen to that interview. Player accountability is nil on this team right now.
September 24, 2017 at 4:20 pm #34018EuroWolf, Nicasio isn’t available for postseason rosters.
