Nice string of homers tonight. Very needed to get the bats going. Now let’s hope they can sustain it!
Wong gets his second walk of the day, but Cardinals bats go silent against the right-hander, Mitchell
Some nifty game action updates….thanks, Cardinals2016!! You know, we just may have found yours truly’s sidekick in the PBP booth.
Funny stuff UCONN & Grays!! Thanks for the tips, Brian!
So I thought Petco Park was supposed to be pitcher friendly? Cards are launching Homers tonight. Someone call NASA!!!
Greg Garcia pinch hits for Weaver, who thankfully was removed after 92 pitches, including a 23 pitch 5th inning with a leadoff walk…
Tommy Pham hits the 5th HR of the night…9-0!
Well, Pugs, now that I am out on the West Coast, I can stay up for these west coast games…
And yes, it looks like the rest of the team are tired of sending Carpenter and Fowler out there and are making a demand for more playing time.
And wow, the Cardinals might be on to something here. Garcia stays in the game and Jose Martinez comes out in a defensive substitution. Why don’t they do this in close games?
To a man, I think we all have contemplated what we would do if we were managing a team and our boys were administering a major league arse-kicking on our opponent. I would consider a double digit lead heading to the 7th inning as one of those glorious occasions where you would literally call off the dogs. At this point, I would choose not to continue embarrassing the opposition. Running up the score is not a very classy thing to do and can actually work against you down the road when you play them again. So, from the 7th inning on, I would have each and every batter get a little bunting practice in by trying to lay one down. The only exception to this mercy rule being if you were pummeling the daylights out of the cubbies . Then as the Cardinals skipper you would have no choice but to keep lambasting the heck out of them.
I like your style, Cardinals2016. When ever you are ready to team up for a West coast game, give me a holler and we will book it.
It sure does, Cardinals2016. You have to have a 10 run lead….not 9. We are getting mighty close here at 9-zip.
Well, Bowman only gave one run back, so the Cardinals still have a commanding lead. But for the Cardinals to start laying down bunts, they will need to score a couple more. As we now have a written rule that teams that are up by 10 must bunt the rest of the game, or until the other team scores.
Sweet clarification of the “MR” (Mercy Rule), Cardinals2016. I’m bullish as all get out on Bader. You just know he’s going to start hitting. Couple that with his sparkling D and the intangibles and we’ve got ourselves a true blue-chipper. You win with players like a Bader….plain and simple.
