Mikolas has a way to just tough it out when he’s not at his best. He’s been such a big get for the rotation. I think the team would be sunk without him this year.
Three singles with a Dejong fly ball out in between and now Bader is up with the bases loaded. He needs to come through here.
This game is shaping up a lot like the Pittsburgh series. Constant pressure and a huge discrepancy in base runners but can’t deliver the knockout blow. Bader GIDP on the liner back to the pitcher. Argh
The missed scoring opportunities are stacking up very high now. Three of the first four batters in the 5th get a hit and nobody scores. Missing the clutch factor at the plate so far tonight.
Leadoff man on in the 6th and Mikolas hits for himself. That’s different than the usual Shildt strategy. He didn’t get the bunt down though. Carp up with Wong on first.
Carp went the other way and lined into a double play. I dunno how the stat is calculated, exactly, but he has zero GIDP this season. I don’t really believe in jinxes but that’s pretty, uh, fun timing after Horton mentioned it (and Bader) the last two innings.
Welp, this one just went half down the tube. Can’t say I liked Shildt’s moves last inning and that will probably cost the game.
I’m always nervous about teams that lose heartbreakers, either to us or other teams. This season the Cards are about 0-10 in those type games.
We really badly needed the first game with our ace against their garbage pitcher. The matchups favor the Nationals getting at least a split if not 3/4 in this series if we can’t come back tonight.
I love Yadi, but I’ll never really understand his plate approach. Watch two fat pitches down the middle without even lifting the bat, then swings at junk on the corner.
Now Jmart has the same approach I guess. 0-2 fast, right down the middle.
