Oh Oh! Heyward coaxed the leadoff walk from Mikolas. I know the percentage is nowhere near this high, but doesn’t it seem like 85% of leadoff walks evolve into runs?
With 1 out Happ doubles(down the right field line) in Heyward and the Redbird lead had been sliced in half.
I didn’t get a good look at it…was that ball fair or foul? At any rate, a tie game and Quintana’s generous strike zone early is paying dividends for him now.
Tie ballgame on the Contreras shot just fair down the left field line….a friendly carom to Ozuna prevents the batter from taking up residence at 2nd. 2-2.
Sure was close….so close that if we were playing in St. Louis today, that ball is most likely called foul.
Dejong gave that one a ride but it didn’t have enough to get out. Happ made a nice play on it.
Ozuna up and it would be really nice if he could be more than a singles hitter in the cleanup spot.
Ok, a single would have been better there. Ozuna simply must move out of the #4 spot or start hitting much better.
Mikolas now getting hit. He needs a double play grounder right about now. The Cubs have capitalized on basically their only opportunities while the Cards have left a lot on the bases. That’s the difference in the game so far.
Dexter with a pretty good game so far. Maybe Shildt’s confidence in him will bring out the best in Dex the rest of the year.
I’m going to go ahead and call this a bad decision before anything happens with Gyorko at all. Our bullpen cannot sustain four innings against the Cubs lineup. Mikolas didn’t have a high pitch count either.
Yep, as expected. The Cards could theoretically have gotten not one but two more innings from Mikolas. That was a super trigger happy decision from Shildt there and I have to say it was a bad one.
Mayers has such a good arm. He hasn’t been amazing but he is also one of the guys I actually expect not to stink when he comes in. Can he go multiple innings?
Too much praise, I guess. Schwarber takes Mayers deep to give the Cubs the lead. Repeat of Thursday night?
