So Martinez does recover after yielding the lead. The strike out of Russell was very big. He threw his two best fastballs of the night. Where has that been?
Looks like Ozuna is locked, cocked and ready to rock at the dish. Looks very confident. I get the feeling that little hard round baseball looks like a beachball to Marcell’s eyes right now….just as I say this he Whiffs hacking away.
Has Gyorko’s stock ever fallen over this past month. We should have dealt him last month…… but who would have ever guessed that his bat would have grown so totally limp. Gomber gives we Cardinal fans some much needed relaxment with a 1-2-3 inning.
Dexter! Walks to leadoff the Cardinal 6th in a 3-3 ballgame. This may very well be Dexter’s best game of 2018. What is he….1-1 with a couple walks. I think for me, Wong has replaced Fowler ad Enemy #1.
Fowler is just as stupid as he is bad. I gave him credit earlier on the base paths, but now it’s obvious that was just blind, dumb luck. What an idiot.
Oh oh!! Looks like just like that, Fowler surplants Wong again as Enemy #1, as he ignorantly tries to take liberties on the base paths and is out from me to you at 3rd base on a base knock….what in blazes was he thinking!
The way Gomber looked in the 6th I would have let him hit and kept him in the game for the next few innings. If we are still tied the next time he hits, pinch hit for him then. Otherwise, maybe he can give us 4 IP and save the rest of the bullpen.
