2018 Reg Seas Game #127 – at Dodgers – Tue 8/21

Dylan Floro on for LA. You’d think Floro might be a Floridian, but actually he hales from a sleepy little town in California by the name of Merced. O’Neill up with one on and one out and he’ll foul out to the 2nd baseman Taylor who properly waved off the 1st baseman Muncy. Ozuna goes the other way and has himself a hit for his effort. DeJong reaches 1st on a slow roller to 3rd…infield hit. Bases juiced with Birds with 2 down. Gyorko rifles a shot to left!….that won’t quite have the mustard to make this a 7-1 Cardinal ballgame….boy when that left his bat I about hit my head on the ceiling with excitement…..but it was not to be. Still 3-1 Good Guys as we mozzy along to the Dodger 5th. Luke Weaver will assume the pitching responsibilities for St. Louis.

Those two clowns are going to bonk heads yet! Both Bader and O’Neill need to get hearing tests first thing tomorrow morning as this is getting ridiculous.

Phils get waxed by Washington tonight 10-4……what a night this could be!
.

How many extra outs are we going to give these guys? Good pitching has kept them at 1 run. Credit to Ponce, he actually pitched very well tonight. If our guys play good D the last three innings, we win.

Curious moves by Shildt with the pen in the 7th.

That was a catch by Martinez btw!

That was an unreal play by Wong! He’s just come full circle as a complete defensive infielder.

Wong with a spectacular play in the 9th to get Turner and we have another Norris save.

The play by Wong may be the best that I have ever seen by a second baseman. Last night, it was DeJong with the great play. Wong had one last night to end the first. DeJong, Wong, Bader, and Molina—the middle is good.

So ONeill had a rough nite in the OF.I t seems like everybody has conveniently forgotten all the good catches has made lately.Looks like he is the whipping boy tonite.Get the tar and feathers and the pitchforks and torches.Cecil is out of the doghouse so it must be ONeills turn.
