    Wong has swung at two pitches way up out of the zone. Cards really need to get this 6th run. C’mon, Kolten! He grounds out but Carp is in. 6-2 Cards.

    Wong with a productive AB. Cards lead 6-2.

    Would love to get Dexter across the plate here.

    Here comes Ernest, I mean Richards, to try to get Edman.

    Bader swinging for the fences with the perfect launch angle, but he strikes out with men on 2nd and 3rd. A simple bloop base hit would’ve plated 2 and probably iced the game.

    That is not Cardinals baseball. I like him and want to keep him, but his youth frequently shows.

    Look for Bader to the bench next game and O’Neill getting a chance.

    Helsley has had time for a nap

    No reason to allow that goofy routine. Wastes way too much time.

    Edman doesn’t look particularly close to making contact here. He does finally connect but it’s an easy grounder. Still, they got two in, which were very needed. Will Helsley still be warm for the bottom of the 6th? I’d imagine they are gonna try to use the same group as before, with maybe Webb as a lefty/matchup guy.

    I absolutely love that baseball doesn’t have a clock

    Cabrera on. Please be aggressive and do not walk anyone.

    I don’t like getting only 4 pitches from Helsley the way he looked.

    I don’t know why you wouldn’t go with Helsley for longer here unless he was ice cold. Cabrera does exactly what you don’t want to start the bottom of the 6th. 5 pitch walk.

    What the heck is with this strike zone? Call it when it’s in the dang zone, ump!!!

    Not a good start … two walks … no you face the top of the order. You gotta wonder what he pulled Helsley.

    This wasn’t necessary. Overthinking it.

    Back to back walks. Cabrera is trying to give this one back to San Diego. He gets three batters and out, IMO.

    Step in the right direction. Now Two on, one down.

    Cabrera out, Gallegos in.

    Shildt’s gotta get a little length out of somebody. Cabrera out and still 11 outs to go.

    Cabrera gets the K, and he’s out. That’s two nearly useless outings from him in this series. I’d consider Webb instead the rest of the postseason. Cabrera’s command is just way too spotty.

    Gallegos in.

    I absolutely loathe this announcing team. They’re literally as bad as I’ve ever heard.

    hmmmm, yadi not pleased with him and he blows off the manager when pulled.

    Gallegos throws a strike and it’s called a ball. Fun.
