Martinez still having significant command issues. A lot of pitches and a lot of balls. And now Carp boots one to give up a run. Martinez really needs to quit handing out the free passes (3 so far). He’s all over the place, and thus, the umps don’t seem to give him any breaks on called strikes. Score now 2-1 Cards in the middle of the 3rd.
So Pham gets caught stealing on huge bending, 71 mph curve ball. He really sucks at this getting picked off / trying to steal thing. Just get a 2-foot lead next time and stand pat until you hear wood hit ball.
Very frustrating! Carlos whiffed Contreras twice in that run scoring at bat……but there the cub catcher stood with bat in hand. It’s almost like that home plate ump was going to give Contreras 9 lives….or until his at bat resulted in something positive for Chicago.
Boy have the Dodgers righted the ship in LA! Now Carlos walks Hendricks and hence is now begging for trouble.
Tailor made 4-6-3 twin killing is exactly what the doctor ordered to hopefully reverse the negative direction that Carlos was heading in, in this game.
This darn tv of mine is screwing up again……it actually showed Fowler reaching base with a hit….can’t be.
Munoz with a wounded duck base hit to shallow right will put runners on the corners here in the Cardinal 4th! That baby will present itself as a scorching rocket in tomorrow’s newspaper box scores though.
Credit where credit is due, Fowler made a great read on the Munoz bloop hit to go first to third with one out. Of course Wong fails to bring him in, striking out while appearing to try to blast one 450 feet in the process. Would it kill Wong to one time try and put the ball in play to bring in the go-ahead run? A ridiculous at bat by Wong…worthless, he needs to leave town.
Wong whiffs!!!! Swinging for the dam downs!!! And there the lead run still sits…as lonely as TheLonleyBull out at 3rd base, with the pitcher coming up with 2 outs. I’m sorry but Wong has to go.
Carlitos plates a run with a single just in front of the surging Heyward in right and the Redbirds recapture the lead!
There’s a decent argument that Martinez might be the 5th best hitter in tonight’s lineup. Glad he came through.
You are right stlcard25. I was thinking when I first saw the lineup that Martinez was as likely to drive in a run tonight as anybody else other than Ozuna.
Like they say….great minds think alike, Euro…..with our corresponding Wong remarks. I’m sure us two were not the only Cardinal fans echoing those sentiments after that at bat.
Yep, Pugs. How many years will take Mo to see his act before he admits he made a mistake?
Back to the action, Martinez walks Bryant to lead off the 5th. He now has given up 5 walks and 5 hits in 4 inning pitched. Matheny needs to be ready and not let this get out of hand this inning.
