I guess third base is just a spot that will struggle this year. Edman throws one away to allow the run to score and sets the Royals up pretty to tie the game.
Man, I don’t know what Soler was thinking. he’s their big power guy and he just stands there with the bat on his shoulder as Gant carved him up. Good for us, but kinda weird.
Well gant didnt get it done there. Im not giving up but i dont like our chances against their backend guys. But you never know.
i dont know why dejong slowed up going to second, he practically stopped. I mean i know he has to make sure its not going to be caught but i think he scores easy if he just keeps rounding the bag there but still great relay.
After you get a triple there and have bader with his speed on base, your top should be able to get that run home with less than 2 outs but oh well. You cant dwell, just go get them tomorrow.
How many times have we seen a manager put in a pinch runner late in a game? It was almost automantic with TLR. If O’Neill was running, the game would have been tied. Shildt did his part to lose this game.
Cardinals lose 5-4 to fall to 10-9 on the season. The Cubs lost as well so their lead remains three games.
It’s disappointing to lose when you feel like the Cards had control for most of the game. They just couldn’t hold it together there at the end, or capitalize on some good chances to score. Hopefully they can win the series today and move on to take advantage of another poor team on Thursday.
That was probably the most frustrating game of the year so far. We had ample opportunities to win that game. Molina’s double off the wall barely misses being a homer and how DeJong doesn’t score on that play is baffling. Then Bader triples off of Rosenthal with one out and we can’t get him home. Ugh…. Another gutsy outing for Waino but Gant didn’t have it.
We just can’t afford to lose to last place teams. It is a killer, especially on a night when the Cubs get thumped by the lowly Tigers. A big missed opportunity.
The squeeze was clearly one option, but Edman has shown enough bat control to trust him to get the ball past the drawn in infield somehow. He simply did not execute in that situation. I thought they had Rosenthal on the ropes, but he escaped. Not sure if he is regularly pitching back-to-back, but perhaps not.
