Also BS South and Southwest ExtraJuly 20, 2024 at 4:22 pm #261007Regarding Game #1,
I couldn’t understand why Marmol brought in the righty Fernandez to face the lefty Rosario? The result was a game tying homerun. I said outloud when he made the change that I hope you are bringing in King and not Romero.
Instead it was the righty Fernandez. And you see what we got.
Am I missing something here???

KeepComingBackParticipantRats I couldn’t believe he yanked Gipson at that point to bring in another rh pitcher. ML manager is a tough job. If he leaves him in and Gipson gives up the bomb we are all over him. Success is the only acceptable result. How about this. We get more than 2 runs. Bad luck added. We have the catcher on 2nd in the stupid xtra inning fiasco ml baseball has installed. We can’t pinch run for him and Winn gets a hit. Than we can’t score him from third. So lets fuggettaboutit and win this nightcap.
July 20, 2024 at 6:15 pm #261018
KeepComingBackParticipantShady you need to swap Noot and Goldy. Goldy is mincemeat anytime he’s behind in the count. Which is most of the time these days.
July 20, 2024 at 6:26 pm #261020
KeepComingBackParticipantJust for the record, I would be more than happy for Goldy to make a fool out of me all night long.
July 20, 2024 at 6:50 pm #261025
KeepComingBackParticipantWinn is so good. Massive high bb iq and unselfish. Winn-ing player.
July 20, 2024 at 6:53 pm #261026Cardinal bats are stringing together some hits in this game. Keep the line moving boys.
July 20, 2024 at 6:56 pm #261027Goldschmidt with the all too familiar rally killing K.
July 20, 2024 at 7:25 pm #261029Burly might get to 100 RBIs this season hitting right behind Winn.
July 20, 2024 at 7:29 pm #261032A bomb by Ozuna. 5-2 after four innings now.
We better get some more runs because I do not believe five runs will be enough in this one.

Who knew Rat could predict the future.
July 20, 2024 at 8:16 pm #261040Think I would bring Sonny back for the eighth.
July 20, 2024 at 8:25 pm #261043Odd choice for the 8th going with Leahy.
July 20, 2024 at 8:30 pm #261045Nothing like living on the edge. Good for Leahy (and Oli).
July 20, 2024 at 8:31 pm #261046
KeepComingBackParticipantWell-like pulling teeth but we got to Helsley. Now what??? Rested or rusty.
July 20, 2024 at 8:37 pm #261047Leahy pitches around the one out double. Like what I have seen from him.
July 20, 2024 at 8:38 pm #261049Thought Goldy had one there.
July 20, 2024 at 8:40 pm #261051Painful to see the venerable Paul Goldschmidt struggling.
July 20, 2024 at 8:41 pm #261052Huge hit for Donovan. Maybe use King rather than Helsley – or keep Leahy out there.
July 20, 2024 at 8:47 pm #261054Marmol has been leaning on his young relief pitchers. It doesn’t always work, but it seems to be a thing he’s doing. Maybe because he is not so impressed with the other ones.
July 20, 2024 at 8:51 pm #261055Great job by Leahy, and the offense for tacking on some runs late to make it easier.
July 20, 2024 at 8:58 pm #261056No shame in a split with the Braves on the road. Gray works 7 IP’ed allowing 5 ER’s on 8 hits to earn the winning decision in the nightcap, while Gibson works 6.2 IP’ed and allows 1 ER on 3 hits in the opener and walks away with a no decision. Life ain’t always fair.
July 20, 2024 at 9:37 pm #261062I think Leahy has earned some trust. Plus, it’s nice to lean on a guy who’s not going to be there tomorrow so we keep other guys fresh for tomorrow. Because our starters ate some innings, Ollie should have a full bullpen to play with tomorrow despite the double header. The Braves will too, but they will have a lot of guys that will be on back-to-back days which generally lessens their effectiveness. Roycroft and Kittredge are our only guys that would be on back-to-back days.
