The wind cost Bryant a 3-run tater to center….4-1 cubs on the sac fly with Baez doing what more fleet footed players should do….taking 2nd on long fly balls. 5-1 and Weaving is not weaving much magic on the hill today. Now he konks Contreras.
Hopefully, NJ315. This game is probably out of reach so I would prefer to sacrifice some Weaver ERA to save the bullpen for the weekend. Could be a start where he gives up 10-12 runs in 4-5 innings, for all that it matters.
We need a reliever that can go three or four in this one. Can’t so the 1 or 2 innings bit, or play match up.Still early – gotta chip away and not give up any more.
If the scrubs recently came back from a 10-2 deficit in the 8th inning, our Birds can certainly make minced meat out of Lester & company, down only 6-1 after 3.
I’m certain of 3 things today. No hitter in Wrigley will eclipse the center field wall, Lester will not go further than 7 frames and for the first time in about a week, it will not snow in Madison, Wisconsin.
I just turned on the game and immediately turned it off. Needless to say the arm angle narrative the Cards were pushing didn not pan out for Weaver.
About that “no ball is leaving over the CF wall today” prediction, Pugs….
OK, I guess Heyward’s blast was officially to right. Never mind – for now.
Is Bowman really one of this club’s 7 best relievers at this point? Feels like Brebbia and Mayers have to be better.
Bases loaded and nobody out, Paulie D walks to score a run. Now would be a great time for Kolten to break out of the slump.
Nice work by Gregerson, getting out of Bowman’s jam with a GIDP.
Tough at-bat by DeJong to draw a bases-loaded walk. His fourth free pass of the season.
Cards pull to within 8-5 in middle of the 7th.
An observation from today’s game. Something about the Cards seems to bring out the worst in Baez’ defense. If the runner had advanced on his bad throw to third in the first inning, he would have three errors today.
Javier Baez' last game with two errors was also against #stlcards – in their second head-to-head matchup on 2017. He only has three such games in his career.
