2017 MLB Game #142: Cards vs. Bucs Sat Sep 9

Brewers have jumped out to a 4-0 lead on the Cubs in the top of the 3rd at Wrigley. Grimm on in relief of Montgomery and he promptly balks in a run.

And c’mon Martinez. Lets see that stupid purple hair of yours do something good for us in this game.

Update……Brewers now lead the Cubs 14-0 after seven. I think its safe to say this one is in the Win column for Milwaukee.

Chance to creep within three games of the Cubs tonight. Lets go Ace Martinez.

Martinez with a rough start (2nd inning)…Cards in a hole early, 2-0.

The stubbornness to keep Fowler in CF bites us again. Sorry he might be hurt on that attempt going to the wall, but he’s really bad out there. No backup on the play either, thus an inside-the-parker to give the bucs the lead. Defense is going to be the letdown tonight unless the bats get going.

Carp ties it up on a HR

Nicasio gives up a leadoff single in the 9th but hangs tough for the save. 4-3 St. Louis the final.

Question……Where was Pham on the inside-the-park homerun by Frazier? The ball bounced back over towards left center and Bader had to come from RF to retrieve it.
