    Sanchez has good stats this year but I’m just not buying that he’s that good. He’s due to give up a few runs the second time through the order.

    Acuna crushes one. I figured when they said that Gomber hadn’t given up a homer in 40 innings that he was due to have that end.

    Gomber can’t find the plate right now. He’s literally missing his spots by feet. Back to back walks to load the bases.

    Lucky it’s only 1-0

    We will have better luck the 2nd time around on Sanchez.

    Yep, Gomber is all over the place. Got lucky on the 3rd out liner right at Bader with the bases loaded. Of course the one guy (Acuña) you might want to be way off the plate against, Gomber set one on a tee center cut for him. Still just one run down though. Need to get a hit at some point.

    Gomber struggling is like inviting tyson, and that’s not a best case for me.

    Carp really needs to quit striking out so much. The man has had a bipolar season.

    Dejong!!! He smokes one to left for a 2-1 lead.

    DeJong 2-run shot. Just like that, the Cards lead 2-1.

    Carp has been substandard but is still getting on base. He need to be more assertive. We need him!

    I would like to see him and Martinez separated in the order until they figure it out. I think we need Jose though to be more off an offensive force and in the lineup if Carp is just going to take walks.

    Carp has been blowing chunks lately…any chance of a MVP for him is long gone

    Gombers curve doesn’t have that wiffle ball bite tonight.

    Like to see bader bunt for hit here

    Very poor bunt attempt by Gomber. Probably as bad a decision to send Wong. I think I’d rather have uad a pinch hitter there.

    Carp with the hat trick in just the 5th inning, this time stranding two runners.

    Carpenter has reverted to early season form.

    Carpenter since August 6: .215/.341/.410. That’s a 98 wRC+, so he’s been a below average player for the stretch run.

    I hope Gomber goes a couple more innings to make this thought wrong and save the pen somewhat, but a successful pinch hit there could very well have made the difference for a win tonight.

    Base runners are us, but 5 IP / 1 ER.

    Gomber won’t go any longer unless a lefty is up.

    If Manfred wants to speed up the game then maybe he needs to mandate pitchers have some control. The game last night started 1 hour before MNF and ended about the same time. lol

    Sanchez gets his season high strikeouts in the 6th. Maybe he’ll be lifted for a PHer now.
