Again would have liked to have seen Edman try bunting leading off the ninth. Put pressure on the defense.
Top of 9. Finnegan attempting to finish.
Edman grounds out to 2nd base.
Carlson grounds out to Bell just in back of the 1st base bag and Bell will register the out unassisted.
Dickerson grounds out to 2nd.
Your final score:
Washington Nationals 7
St. Louis Cardinals 6Another one-run loss. Bell has had a good year. Showing the promise he had coming through the Pirates organization.
They must have had him on a strict pitch count tonight, BrockLou. We should hear in the post game chat.
Way too cutesy with the pitching changes tonight. A real managers chessmatch of a game! Sotomayor is extremely impressive as his stature as a Super Soto immediately draws walks. Strikes are afraid to enter his zone!
Better days ahead. Go Cardinals!The distinguished senator out of Minnesota who later became V.P. An absolutely wonderful example of an HH, Mr. Perkins! As usual, Mr. Perkins has set the bar higher, as Hubert Humphrey is not only an HH, but an HHH, as his full name was Hubert Horatio Humphrey. Well done Mr. Perkins …..well done sir.
One other HH comes to mind. One that I don’t know how we have all missed? Henry Hill from Goodfellas fame. Do I dare attempt to join Mr. Perkins’ elite HHH club by saying Henry “Hitman” Hill??
It’s all my fault for going to see ’em in person tonight. My apologies!
More seriously, I’m curious why Cabrera didn’t pitch for two weeks (an appearance July 15 then not again to July 29). There’s the all star break and game situations, but two weeks? Is there something going on we don’t know about?
I don’t know if this has anything to do with it, but Cabrera had a a bit of hissy fit when Marmol removed him from a game two weeks ago. Perhaps he spent some time in the penalty box.
What we need is a middle reliever who can pitch 2 innings and give up just one run in that span. You would think Hicks could do this, but apparently not. Maybe give him some longer opportunities in mop up situations. Otherwise, in situations where we are leading, he should be one and done.
