How do you walk the lead off guy with a four run lead?
Gio says it’s easy. You just take your time. Even slow it to a snail’s pace if you have to, and pay no attention the location of the catcher’s mitt.
At least we didn’t have to bring Helsley in.
3 W’s in a row!Really nice job by the lineup. Another 5 run game.
It’s a Winner! Good overall team win. Big night for Gorman Donovan and Nooty. Goldy and Nado doing their thing again. Very solid pitching with a 9th inning scare thrown in by Giovanni. Go Cardinals!
It looks like DeJong is reverting. Since August 7th he has not taken a walk and has struck out 12 times. In the past he has been unable to snap out of it, so we will have to see how it goes this time. It goes without saying that a late season pennant race is not the time to be trying to figure things out.
Edman is the alternative at short and, unlike earlier when he replaced DeJong, he hasn’t been taking walks and getting on base much either, as his OPS has dropped 50 points since July 1st.
O’Neill has not been getting on base much, and Yadi has an astonishingly low .237 OBP on the year (49 OPS+, yikes), so my concern is we will stumble into post season with a gaggle of non producers at the bottom of the order. We had that same problem much of last season and we know it does not work versus the good teams.
Braves, Phils and Brewers all lose…good night for the Cards. Now let’s finish these guys off with a sweep today! It would be nice to be 4 games up going to Arizona.
Indeed, and by the way, very nice call yesterday morning where you projected Gorman to be the offensive catalyst, with the Cards’ winning 7-2. …..the 5-1 Cards triumph was right in the ballpark, stlcard25.
