    Where did I put my Rolaids?

    I had a feeling that we went to Gallegos and Helsley too early.

    I bet that was a little sweet revenge for Sosa.

    Marmol, SMH. Why were your middle infielders playing in when you need a double play. Segura hit a tailor made double play ball. Wow. Made a great move earlier with the PH but this ninth inning has turned into a cluster.

    That throw to home was questionable.

    Pallante doing his job but defensive positioning and situations are killing the Cardinals.

    Their work is cut out for them now. This is a devastating turn.

    OMG and now the all world Arenado can’t field a ground ball. What the heck happened here.

    Then Arenado can’t make the play.

    If Gallegos hadn’t folded again, things would have even different.

    The whole team has just collapsed. Marmol looks dumbfounded, but he started the dominos.

    The free pass beat the Cards in the wild card last year and it’s happened again today. Pitchers who can’t get it across the plate in those situations kill you most of the time.

    Maybe mudville but this has been an epic collapse. Epic.

    Bullpen guys can make the manager look smart or dumb. Let’s face it the bullpen melted down.

    For a team implode like this when it really matters is depressing! But we can still win this series! Our bullpen MUST stop walking people with small leads! We have done it all year and it just leads to disasters like today

    Feel kind of bad for Pez. He hit a game winning HR.

    True, but it seems fair to 2nd guess Q being pulled at his pitch count. Or Gio too. I felt like Hicks might very well come in and walk a couple to blow up the good start. Luckily he didn’t, but it turns out to be Helsley. The dominos of the bullpen didn’t have to start falling as soon as they did. Obviously, Helsley was not ready for multiple innings in a high pressure playoff game, or his finger was bothering him. Was bad to see him careen completely off the rails. Makes you wonder about the remaining games for him.

    Having Gallegos start the 7th started the dominos. He doesn’t pitch multiple innings too often but he didn’t look like he needed to come out of the game when Marmol removed him. Then knowing he needed 1.2 IP out of Helsley, who is dealing with a finger jamb on his pitching hand.

    That’s not good for us. Playoffs is not about who won the division. It’s about whos playing the best ball right now. Do better tomorrow. Go Cardinals!

    They rarely let Q face a lineup three times in the regular season so I am not surprised they didn’t today either. Q did his job. The bullpen didn’t.

    I didn’t realize that Quintana had only thrown 75 pitches when he came out. That makes me question Marmol’s decisions even more. If we were able to get 6 IP out of Quintana, we had Hicks, Gallegos and Helsley for the 7th, 8th and 9th.

    Now we need to re-group and win the next 2.
