As cool a story as Ponce continuing this game would be…this has to be a pinch hitter and go to the Hicks-Norris train for the 8th and 9th…right?
July 23, 2018 at 8:15 pm #61729NJ315ParticipantHopefully the bullpen won’t screw it up this time.
July 23, 2018 at 8:24 pm #61730Unfortunately, the offense does not appear primed to add any insurance runs so it’ll have to be the bullpen to close it out. I’d love a boring 1-2-3 for both the 8th and 9th.
July 23, 2018 at 8:29 pm #61731Well, there goes the team no no. Hicks better get out of this.
July 23, 2018 at 8:32 pm #61732A couple of nice plays by Muñoz at 3B preserves the 1-0 lead. To the 9th we go!
July 23, 2018 at 8:34 pm #61733I absolutely disagree with Schiltz decision. A chance like this doesn’t come often. Now not only do you not give him a chance at history but you ask our unreliable bullpen to hold a 1run lead for 2 innings, so he may not even get a chance at a win. As far as pitch count… well if Schiltz would have looked ahead at the schedule, he would have noticed we have an off day thursday which means Poncedeleon wouldn’t have to make another start until Tuesday.
July 23, 2018 at 8:41 pm #61734It’s Norris time. Three outs to go…
July 23, 2018 at 8:43 pm #61735I have no problem with Shildt’s decision. Poncedeleon is throwing in his first MLB game and had thrown 116 pitches. The last inning alone he threw 26 pitches. It is time to win the game, not let a pitcher overthrow just to get a no-hitter.
July 23, 2018 at 8:43 pm #61736The first at bat of the ninth taken by career light hitter-turned slugger Scooter Gennett, who faces off against career middling starter-turned good reliever Bud Norris.
Gennett smokes one just foul down the line in right. Whew!
Bud battles back to get him with the backwards K. One down!
July 23, 2018 at 8:44 pm #61737NJ315ParticipantHe threw 116 pitches he probably needed at least 20 more to finish the game if everything went his way at 10 pitches per inning. He averaged 16.5 so he probably needed 33 more. So you would let him throw around 150 for a chance of history???
July 23, 2018 at 8:48 pm #61738In steps the mighty Joey Votto, known for his dead eye at the plate and for spraying no-no killing drives all over the park.
Bud is throwing his heater on the inside part of the plate, challenging Mr Patience to take a swing but he’s not biting. He finally takes a whack but they’re fouled off. Yadi comes to the mound to settle things down and perhaps to set the defense. Does he see something that we the fans don’t? It wouldn’t be the first time.
Joey slices one to left and Ozuna makes…dare I say a Gold Glove type of play out there? 2 down!!
July 23, 2018 at 8:49 pm #61739NJ315ParticipantTied game. Suarez homers
July 23, 2018 at 8:50 pm #61740Two pitches and Suarez crushes one to left. Yep, same old Cardinals. Hack, hack, spew. Buh bye, Poncedeleon’s great debut.
July 23, 2018 at 8:50 pm #61741Sure would be nice to have one of the 2 runs we gave up on the base paths. A shame for Ponce.
July 23, 2018 at 8:50 pm #61742Well Crap
July 23, 2018 at 8:51 pm #61743Does Norris want to go to bed as badly as the rest of us now? He’s been challenging guys in the zone all night. A walkoff homer wouldn’t be a shock at all.
July 23, 2018 at 8:52 pm #61744All we can say is that Ponce did his job and gave us a chance to win. That’s all I wanted from him tonight.
July 23, 2018 at 8:52 pm #61745We’ve used our only two relievers who aren’t horrible. They have one of the best relievers in the league set to go in the 10th. What could possibly go wrong?
July 23, 2018 at 8:53 pm #61746Hmm..let me see here. 2 outs…3 for 3 against me..has my number…has 19 HRs…yep…4 seamer down the old pike
July 23, 2018 at 8:54 pm #61747yes I would let him throw 150 pitches for a chance at history. he wasnt given that chance… our bullpen was asked to hold a 1 run lead and look what happened… he wont even get the win now. Mike schiltz did this young man an absolute injustice.
July 23, 2018 at 8:54 pm #6174825, that’s what concerns me going forward.
July 23, 2018 at 8:57 pm #61749Turns 27 in January
July 23, 2018 at 8:59 pm #61750Norris walks the bases loaded. We may not even get to extras.
July 23, 2018 at 9:00 pm #61751Game over. This team is infuriating.
July 23, 2018 at 9:00 pm #61752NJ315ParticipantBullpen does it again. 2-1 Reds is the final
