#STLCards vs. New York (7/8):
Carpenter 2B
Piscotty RF
Pham CF
Gyorko 3B
Molina C
Voit 1B
Grichuk LF
DeJong SS
Wainwright P— St. Louis Cardinals (@Cardinals) July 8, 2017
Brewers just took a gut punch. Yanks turn a loss to victory with a walk-off 3-run HR (Frazier) in the 9th.
The good news is the Cards up 1-0 after 4, and they might end up winning by a comfortable margin. Wainwright is doing well.
However, the bad news is the mental gaffes are rearing their ugly heads again on the bases (Pham and Molina thrown out stealing in dubious situations) and on defense (DeJong not covering 2B properly to prevent a double play). Somehow, this has to be addressed. A trade or two isn’t going to make it stop.
Wainwright looking his sharpest this year. He’s given up two hits in 6 innings. He’s at about 70 pitches, so he might go 7 innings or more. Cards still clinging to a 1-0 lead. Pham leads off the 6th with a single, so maybe they can add to the lead.
Watching Voit vs. Grichuk. Luke is
calmer and more settled at the plate. Plus good plate discipline. Grichuk is all wiggle and motion.
Too anxious. Maybe Randal can learn something.If Grichuk did not learn at Palm Beach, he isn’t going to want to learn by watching a rookie.
Looks like this is DeJong’s weekend!
This is per Elias and announced in the press box.
DeJong 1st #STLCards SS in modern era (1900-present) to collect 4 extra base hits in a single game

Just came out of church to hear Mike Shannon’s last out call. Hallelulia! Where was DeJong when we were struggling with Peralta early in the season? Could have made a difference in those early close games. Oh well, just glad he’s on our side.
