6:05 p.m. RHP Jack Flaherty (0-0, 1.80 ERA) vs. RHP Trevor Williams (3-1, 2.15) FOX Sports Midwest/KMOX
April 28, 2018 at 4:30 pm #50406Today's #STLCards lineup (4/28):
Pham CF
Carpenter 3B
J. Martínez 1B
Ozuna LF
Molina C
Fowler RF
DeJong SS
Wong 2B
Flaherty P— St. Louis Cardinals (@Cardinals) April 28, 2018
April 28, 2018 at 6:05 pm #50408I hope Gyorko’s “role” isn’t vs LHP’s. that’s 30% playing time, plus PH appearances.
April 28, 2018 at 6:58 pm #504091/3 of the way done with the score tied, 1-1.
April 28, 2018 at 7:51 pm #50411Martinez doubled and Ozuna drove him in. Cards up 2-1, B6th.
April 28, 2018 at 8:02 pm #50412I just don’t see how you can have 3 guys in the starting lineup hitting under 200
April 28, 2018 at 8:02 pm #50413Flaherty walks the first two in B6th and is pulled in favor of Leone.
April 28, 2018 at 8:07 pm #50414Why didn’t Carp just step on 3rd and fire to first for the DP? It was tailor made for that.
April 28, 2018 at 8:09 pm #50415Now Pham bobbles one in CF to allow runner to advance. Defense lacking badly in the 6th.
April 28, 2018 at 8:11 pm #50416Defensive trouble. Ball hit to Carpenter with runners at first and second. He threw to second instead of stepping on bag at third. Runner at third then scored on a hit, as Pham made another error trying to field the ball in CF. Hitter advances to second on the error, removing the force. So an intentional walk is ordered to load the bases, still with just one out. Sac fly to deep CF gives Bucs 3-2 lead. Runners on first and second also tag up and take the extra base. Martinez barely handled a one-hop throw from Carpenter for the third out, saving two more runs. Ugh.
April 28, 2018 at 8:15 pm #50417I trust Leone about as much as I do Kim Jong-un. Bombs away Pirates!
April 28, 2018 at 8:16 pm #50418My goodness, Carp butchers another one in the 6th with an absurdly awful throw, but bailed out by Martinez on the catch at first to end avert further damage. Maybe Mike can double switch Carp out soon, LOL.
Better get some runs soon.
April 28, 2018 at 8:20 pm #50420We have got to get matt off 3B.
April 28, 2018 at 8:23 pm #50421George Kissell would absolutely throw a tizzy with all of these shenanigans! Obviously, the organization didn’t have the foresight to have George groom someone to take his place. Yes, there is only one George Kissell, but George could have trained some worthy understudy to at least keep the ship afloat. We miss you George!!!
April 28, 2018 at 8:30 pm #50423Gregerson awful. Fat pitch in the middle of the plate for a double, then a walk. And he is done.
April 28, 2018 at 8:44 pm #50425See this is what I’m talking about in regards to Matheny. He just doesn’t see the big picture! LAst night he pitches Holland in the 9th is slow to remove him and the game blows up ad we lose in epic fashion. This issue is you’ve got a rookie throwing today and take a look at what we’ve got now. Down 4-2 in a game I don’t think we will come back to win and the possibility of getting swept after a 5-1 homestand and some momentum. built up. He can absolutely kill a ballclub with his decision making and slow reaction to in game issues regarding his bullpen.
Yeah the defense has had some blunders. I mean what did you expect when you’re 1st basemen is playing 3rd and your 1st basemen should be a DH cause he really can’t play defense very well?
It’s just frustrating watching this team bumble and stumble under the leadership of Mozeliak and his buddy Matheny.
April 28, 2018 at 8:49 pm #50426Bad luck for Mayers and Cards. Two infield singles and Bucs are up 5-2. Bases still loaded with two out in B7th. Fowler falls into stands chasing what would have been third out.
And Fowler later gets the third out.
April 28, 2018 at 8:51 pm #50427Some were optimistic about our pen. Are those minds changing now, or will time allow them to round into form? I’ve never liked the idea of Reyes doing pen duty, but maybe we’ll have no choice since so far we appear to have brought in new pen duds to replace last year’s duds. The 7th is another bad inning for the pen tonight, but at least for Mayers part, he has been victimized by bad luck more than anything.
April 28, 2018 at 8:52 pm #50428It looked like his tripped just slightly on the track and that threw his balance off a bit and he flipped over it. At first I thought he landed on his head.
April 28, 2018 at 8:55 pm #50429I trust brebbbia, gant, mayers and sherriff
more than I do gregerson, leone, bowman and lyons.Norris and hicks aside, I like the Memphis pen better.

=========================================================================================================We do Pugs. Its Jose O’quissel.
Time for my Double Whopper from Burger King, a cigar, and Mannix.

April 28, 2018 at 9:04 pm #50431I think the flat concrete was a safer landing spot for Fowler than if he had fallen onto a row of empty seats.
Ozuna did not hustle on a pop fly dropped in short LF. He could have been at second instead of first, but was stranded anyway.
Just three more outs for the Cardinals.
April 28, 2018 at 9:10 pm #50433Our bullpen is still a pile of steaming horse manure.
April 28, 2018 at 9:17 pm #50434Now Martinez joins Pham with errors on consecutive nights. This one was not close to being hard hit. The ball just bounced off his glove as another run scores. 6-2 Bucs heading into the ninth.
April 28, 2018 at 9:17 pm #50435NJ315ParticipantSo is Martinez defense. 6-2
