It wasn’t too long ago when everyone was real disappointed when the Redbirds only managed a split of a 4 game set at Busch Stadium in mid April. The Pirates only drew 1.25M through the gate last season. I’ll be interested to see how many fans show up for tonight’s game at PNC.
June 2, 2023 at 6:06 pm #223031I’d say BA is still pretty important, Rats. Lots of hits are what generate a nice looking BA and the last time I checked, there aren’t too many guys with 3000 hits that aren’t members of the HOF.
June 2, 2023 at 6:12 pm #223032This pitcher Contreras fella looks like he’s bringing it. Our batters better be up to the challenge.
June 2, 2023 at 6:15 pm #223033Well our first three batters looked like they where blindfolded up there. At least Gorman went down swinging instead of standing there like a lump.
June 2, 2023 at 6:26 pm #223034The HPU is a rookie too. Already some questionable calls.
June 2, 2023 at 6:29 pm #223035Arenado caught in a rundown before the pitch. They are a little confused about this pitcher’s motion. Scouting issue?
June 2, 2023 at 6:30 pm #223036Yeah, Goldschmidt’s been making a habit of watching a called 3rd strike pass right over the heart of the plate. A couple have been belt high. He’s guessing way wrong and looks like he forgot that pitchers still throw a fastball with 2 strikes on the hitter.
June 2, 2023 at 6:32 pm #223037Baserunning will never be Nado’s longsuit.
June 2, 2023 at 6:39 pm #223038I just now noticed that Wacha’s 5-1 with a 3.45 ERA. He takes a turn tonight in SD against the Cubs.
June 2, 2023 at 6:42 pm #2230392 out 2 run TATER for the 2 run lead!
June 2, 2023 at 6:44 pm #223040Wow, Donovan tagged that ball!
June 2, 2023 at 6:49 pm #223041Other than the walk-off base hit or HR, those 2 out RBI’s may be the most demoralizing punch in the gut to the opposition. Those things hurt.
June 2, 2023 at 6:50 pm #223042Nice!…Another 2 out, 2 run, TATER!
June 2, 2023 at 6:50 pm #223043The mother of all 2 out rallies.
June 2, 2023 at 6:51 pm #223044Ok, looks like they have figured out this pitcher after all. Ha! Arenado with the big fly in a 2-out rally.
June 2, 2023 at 6:52 pm #223045And Edman gets it all revved up with the 2 out double. When Eddie reaches, Eddie scores…
June 2, 2023 at 7:11 pm #223046It used to be if the ball hit the guy in the glove its an error not a hit. Good ol days.
June 2, 2023 at 7:15 pm #223047Pitchers need to organize a collective bargaining system designd to negotiate with the official scorers…
June 2, 2023 at 7:25 pm #223048Off to run an errand. Nice game, nice job by Jack. Good luck.
June 2, 2023 at 7:41 pm #223050Take care, Bling!
June 2, 2023 at 8:01 pm #223051Real nice to push 5 runs across in the 3rd inning, but the Cardinals have had a few chances to stretch out the 5 run lead. Jack’s done a nice job protecting it, but no lead’s ever safe.
June 2, 2023 at 8:16 pm #223052Contreras now 2 for his last 39 and down to a .215 BA. Not good.
June 2, 2023 at 8:23 pm #223053Contreras does have 25 RBI’s for the season to go with that .215 BA. To put that in perspective, Goldy’s collected just 1 more RBI at 26 for the season while featuring a team leading .294 BA to go along with leading the team in hits, doubles, runs scored and is tied for second in HR’s. Hitting him the 2 slot is hurting the team.
June 2, 2023 at 8:24 pm #223054I keep thinking that Contreras is going to turn it around and go on a tear but no such luck yet.
Now a leadoff hit by the Pirates in the last of the 7th.
If the Cardinals lose this game they are 0-4 with the bases loaded. This could easily be about a 9-1 game at the moment.
June 2, 2023 at 8:31 pm #223056And them stupid Reds had a golden opportunity to beat Milwaukee. Tied 3-3 going into the last of the 10th. Had the ghost runner at 2nd and failed to score. Then they lost 5-4 to the Brewers in 11 innings.
