Oh oh….I think you are 100% correct, NJ. I think I broke out the portly lady reference a bit too early….served me right! If we go on to lose this, I won’t sleep a wink tonight!
The conga line brothers and Captain swing at everything have left 17 men on base today. You can’t do that and witness a bases loaded situation with no one out and win can you?
Daniel Murphy folks! Would’ve been what the doctor ordered for this ball club but we dumpster dive with Matt Adams.
Martinez had the bases loaded and not outs. I hope they sit his butt down for a while. The games was there for the taking. I don’t like Norris at all but he has been good. Today he picked the wrong day to stink.
Two things: 1) Why did the Cardinals want Matt Adams back. I haven’t seen him do anything other than strike out. 2) I am not sure how Jose Martinez is having a decent batting average. Pitch him low and outside and he hacks at it. No use in throwing it for a strike, he hacks at anything low and outside.
Terrible loss. This one highlights the deficiencies of lineup construction, and foremost, roster construction. Now we perhaps waste Flaherty against Scherzer. Just don’t get it.
It’s just not this one loss that troubles me….if we do indeed go on to lose this. It’s how we lost it with all of the golden opportunities we had to put this in the win column….it’s been known to send teams in a tailspin.
I agree let Flaherty get the series win against the Reds but the way the offense is going not a sure thing he would have.
I know he has been good but I dislike Norris so much. It just personal I guess. What a terrible performance. Incoming Cecil!
I have been outraged more about the hitters who strike out when we needed to move runners than anything else on this team. The Cardinal Way is to move runners around, steal bases, sacrifice, get the fly ball or ground ball that scores a run. Manufactured runs win more games than solo home runs.
I wouldn’t let a player leave Spring Training until he demonstrated the understanding that Ks are never acceptable, and hitting involves more than personal glory. We lost this game twice. We began the game with runners on first and second, and Martinez struck out. We lost it again when we struck out rather than getting a run home with runners on first and third and the game tied. Finally, Martinez, —with the bases loaded and nobody out, I’d rather see you bunt. Better chance of a squeeze than hitting a fly ball.
I’m with you NJ. I don’t like Norris either. We need a dominant closer which Norris is not. A dominant closer shouldn’t have an era over 3. Also I’m sure some of his saves were of the 3 run lead.
