    Helsley on to try to send it to extras. I don’t like extra innings because our pitchers always seem to give up lead off doubles. It’s uncanny how they seem to do that every time the last couple of seasons.

    I’m not in favor of pulling Jo Jo.

    Seen to many misses by Helsley…. ending in home runs.

    I hope I’m wrong

    Whew…. got out of that one.

    If Romine would have burned us 2 games in a row, I’d have tip-toed to Georgia…

    They should tweak the runner on second rule to where it is the first scheduled batter who goes to second. Or the manager can instead choose to let the batter hit. So if you have a guy like Aaron Judge, you might choose to let him hit. And if you chose the hit option, the home tram has to do the same.

    Okay here, left on left, I would have had Dickerson bunt.

    Just can’t get accustomed to the make believe, fairy tale, baserunner. Went into the kitchen to get a bowl of ice cream during the commercial break and come back into the den and at first glance think, “Alright, Eddie with the lead-off double!”

    Did Pallente kick Ollie’ cat? One appearance in 10 days.

    Kind of a pitiful inning there for the Cardinals. Edman on second and no advance.

    A few years ago they never turn that 6-4-3 after Goldy takes out the 2B’man.

    Surprised Cincy did not try at least one bunt attempt to move the runner over.

    That double play was as slow as I’ve ever seen Arenado look. Maybe they just turned it so fast that it just looked that way to me.

    I’m not liking the Helsely Moran matchup.

    No problem for Helsley though. I feel better now.

    Danny and Jim talking about why not bunt the runner over to third. Dan says guys don’t know how and I agree. Though I feel that’s more on the team and coaches than the players. It’s called practice.

    willie, Yadi sure made bunting look hard.

    Yeah, you move the runner over and you greatly increase your chance of winning. Don’t know why the Reds did not at least attempt it on the first couple of pitches. But maybe that is it – they don’t know how.

    Hot Rod Helsley gases the 10th. Still alive!

    Wow, we advance a runner. Thanks Pujols. Now O’Neill has a runner on 3B with one out.

    82willie…Yep, the sac-bunt seems to have vanished. The biggest sac-bunt in Cardinal history was probably of the PH variety in the form of the one laid down by Kyle Lohse in the 10th inning of game 6 of the ’11 WS.

    Man, so close on that hard hit grounder. Noot another walk. Molina on the hot seat now.

    Yadier’s simply and sadly spent.

    Molina just swinging at everything now. He never saw a strike but swung at all of them.

    Yadi, that was simply pathetic.
