    Jack now over 40 pitches. Not good. Not good at all.

    Jack gets the call. Ks Grisham. Lots of pitches though. We need more. The goal has to be 5 innings now.

    Batting helmet hit Yadi’s hand on a hard strike two. He shook it off.

    44 pitches in 2 innings, only 24 of which were strikes. But he has kept them off the board. Needs to find the zone though, or the odds are not good on keeping these Pads from rolling up a few runs.

    Fowler swings at one 8″ outside on 3-2 to take the leadoff man off the bases.

    Bader gets on with the HBP. Would like to see some pressure with the base running here.

    Padres luck again. A terrible throw that Tatis manages to keep a whisker on the bag for.

    Incredible play by Tatis to keep his toe on the bag for the high throw from Hill for the force out at 2nd.

    Edman with the seeing eye single and we’ve got runners at the corners for Goldy.

    Pads not appearing to want to mess with Goldy much here. Lots away. It’s 3-1. Green light? Nope. Walk, and Carlson is in. He’s had a ton of chances with the bases loaded so far in his young career.

    A quick 0-2 on Mr Carlson. Carlson looked awful in that bat. Probably thinking too much, as the announcers were actually on point for a change.

    He looked awful on strike 3 but I think the other two sliders were great pitches for anyone to face.

    both clubs come up empty on a bases load situation. Jack gets a chance to catch his breath and re-group

    Terrible at bat by DC. Would someone please remind him this is a do-or-die playoff game?!

    Agree … Cards need to get the offense rolling to take the pressure off the pitchers. Hopefully, Flaherty can get through six innings.

    Awesome job by Flaherty making the 2-3-4 Padres look bad this inning.

    Yeah – we need to get some of that aggressiveness we had in game one. If the ball is there, pull the trigger. Especially with the bases full.

    Yes, Flaherty holding tough so far, but need base runners to put pressure on the SDPs. We can win this game against their bullpen shuffle.

    This is going more like a typical 2020 Cardinal game – scratch and claw to get a run here and there; missed opportunities. I think we may have a breakout inning later in the game though, where we “get the line moving” as John Rooney says.

    Weak contact into the shift. Sounds familiar.

    Jack back in trouble in the ever troubling 4th inning. Cards starters have been knocked out in the 4th the first two games.

    I swear it’s like San Diego hitters have an idea of every pitch coming in this series and get the barrel on it. Hard outs like crazy.

    Runner at first shoukd have tagged on that flyout.

    No one is going for Jacks’s low slider.

    Jack strands the runners. A lot of bend but don’t break. He’s on pace to give us 5 innings. The Padres are pushing every right button with their pen. IMO it’s going to be time for Shildt to pinch hit and give them better chances here soon. Carp and Bader come to mind.
