Top of 3
Yadi – Pops it up to short left where a charging Peralta will come in to grab all not that far from the infield dirt.
O’Neill – If Tyler just hits it half as far this time as he did last time, we Redbird fans will be pleased. Strikes out swinging for out #2.
Sosa – High chopper to Rojas at 2nd and Joshua will glove it and make the short toss to Smith’s waiting mitt at 1st to retire the side.

AZ 0Looks like I’m the lone wolf around here tonight, so I’ll lay down the mic 🎤 and grab a few cold ones while taking in the action.
That O’Neill shot was mammoth. Glad to see Tyler back in action. I’ve got an early morning tomorrow so these western games don’t work for me. Bring home the win, Pugs.
Geez, talk about terribly inaccurate. The ball was way up above the 413 sign in center. There’s no way it was less than 460. Something messed up there.

They ended up correcting to 451 feet but im still not sold on that… annnd im definitely over this justin williams experiment.
Jimmy Ballgame tore into the Pirates for their bad play today, and had some great Kline stories as well. He’s my favorite for color.
Yep, Shaquille O’Neal is only 5’1 & 113 lbs. if that ball was only hit 416 ft., Stlcard25. Maybe they meant 416 yards?
So, are we allowed to talk about the number of pitches that have resulted in contact with the bat in fair territory that haven’t been a force out at first? I guess not since as I type this Carlos gives up his first hit.
Somewhat strange gift win, with Rojas not tagging and going to 3rd on the lead off flyout to Lane in LF. We win 5-4 as Yadi comes through with a rbi double over the bag at 3rd in the 10th. Helsley came in with no out in the 7th, bases loaded, and retired the side for the day’s honors.
Interesting game last night.
O’Neill with an absolute moonshot.
CMart looked very good until the end.
Cabrera and Gallegos cough up the lead. TLR must have messed with Gio’s head with the hat shenanigans.
Helsley with the Houdini.
Reyes keeps us tied.
Ponce with the save. Who would have figured?
Last night was an example of how frustrating TO can be. Hits an absolute bomb his 1st time up, and then looks bad striking out 3 times in a row. Never know what you’re going to get. If he gains some consistency he can be a real asset. Just swing for contact. The power will take care of itself.
O’Neil aint ever going to gain any consistency. He is going to strikeout all the time. When has he ever swung for contact??? He’s what, about 26 now? If he would play a full season, 150+ games, he would strikeout 200 times. Just hope his defense and the occasional hit from help outweigh the strikeouts.

That’s what we’re gonna get with O’Neill. If we get that I’ll take it though because his BA is way better than the guys on the bench as is. I think this lineup is so much better with him. I think that’s a product of pitchers knowing he can take any pitch out of the park, and how bad Williams, Thomas, etc. are with the bat
Not targeting anyone here, but what I see various places online is people complaining about O’Neill and wanting Gallo. Gallo walks way more but hits it even less and strikes out a ton too. This seems quite inconsistent and I just had to get it off my chest
None of that choke up and float a can-o-corn over the infield nonsense. No matter if you can’t just get it out of the infield with the bases loaded in a close game. Hit a solo shot next time off their mop up man and you are golden.
So O’Neil is carrying a 131 OPS+, third best on club among the regulars.
K as much as you like Tyler, I’ll take those results.
Yeah I hope O’Neill can change that approach in situations, BB. Let him play and (hopefully) becoming a more complete situational hitter. But right now he is a huge asset compared to our other options in the outfield (excluding Carlson). The OF of O’Neill, Bader, and Carlson seems to make the offense click big time compared and the guys behind them probably don’t have much business on a big league club (with the exception of Williams as a defensive sub). Sadly, we haven’t gotten too many looks at that OF due to injuries.
