Right you are, Euro, as Wacha gives way to Mayers….who quickly induces the inning ending grounder. Still 5-2 Birds as we prepare to enter inning #7. Michael can and should win this one, but he cannot lose it…and the pen better not surrender this one!
Oh oh….the wifey is begging for me to watch ‘Vikings with her. I’m torn….geesh….this one is a toughie! She’ll be grouchy all night if I blow her off….but this is the Cardinals! I think I’ll flip a coin….wish I had one of those 2 headed coins handy…and Carpenter ramrods a drive deep to left!…Winker drifts back, but can only give that ball a wary wink as it’s way up into the seats and the Cards now seize a 6-2 advantage!
Pugs? Sorry I am tardy with my response. The dong by Yokozuna in the 1st might very well be the longest tater I have ever seen at Crosleyfront Park in Cincinnatuh.
Mayers should’ve gotten out of the inning unscathed. Ump blew what should’ve been a called strike three on Schebler, who then drives in the run. I’ll be happy to see the day when umps are no longer calling balls and strikes.
Hicks now gets a chance to save one in a high leverage 9th-inning situation. Starts with a K and then a single to Votto. Tying run to the plate now. Score 6-4. Bear down young guy.
