I don’t really understand dejong trying to steal second. Some stupid decisions. If we go extras, he will get second automatically though.
I backed the baserunning play up and I can’t tell what Warner was relaying to Edman, but it didn’t look like Eddie was watching him. Probably too focused on not running past Gorman.
Would have been nice to have not given DeJong guaranteed money, and used some of that to sign Seager.
Ooo – now a miscue by Arenado.
Arenados defense has not been good this year. That should have been caught. The foul ball earlier I believe was on dejong cause it should be short stops ball but not here.
Well surprise the walk scores with help of an error. This ranger team hits the ball too well, can’t give them free stuff be it walks or errors.
And there is your ballgame. Somehow you knew we would find a way to lose it. Just how this club is going this year. We just do not do the little things to win. Tonight it was the base running blunder by Edman and the misplayed pop up by Arenado.
We might be 13 games under by the time we leave the DFW area. When was the last time we were 13 under, 1990 maybe?
I was all on board with signing Seager, but not for the contract he got. If it would have been shorter would have agreed with the AAV. His health will be huge to if that contract is a mess. He’s already spent quite some time on the IL.
Nathaniel Lowe reminds me of Mark Teixeira.
No surprise other than it took them until the 9th to finish them off. Bad teams find ways to lose and good teams take advantage of bad teams.
They go from “shoulda been up by 1” to getting walked off by giving up a BB and 2 hits that should’na been hits. That’s how the Cards do it — the new Cardinal Way as ushered in by MoBill and OliMo.
Seager has had injury issues. deGrom as well – the Rangers accepted a lot of risk signing those two.
I hope everybody realizes if we would not have committed that baserunning blunder the ball that Contreras hit would probably have made it into CF and two runs would have scored.
And Nado F’s up a pop fly. Tough play but he should have caught it.
If it’s not one thing it’s another with this team. It’s just bad baseball.
Marmol has to be feeling the heat. Big time.

This team now seems to have deteriorted to the type of ballclub that walks out on to the field of play with the gut feeling that they’ll lose. Every game.
Without the shift that’s a GIDP. Then that throw home by Donovan in LF was pathetic. Chalk that up to not having a real outfielder out there.
I think that is it – it has gotten to the point of where the club is beat before they take the field. It reminds me of the 2004 World Series. There was something wrong in that series where our club became uptight, and instead of playing loose and confident they were timid – afraid they might make a mistake.
This team looks that way. Might be a reflection of the manager – timid and not showing an attitude of confidence.
I’d like someone to explain to me how that weak little pop-up behind 3B wasn’t an E-5.
The same way as Walker’s grounder that hit the shortstop in the glove yesterday wasn’t an E-6.
Saw something pitiable a few nites ago at the Cubs at San Diego game (on tv). It was Gay Pride day and SD was wearing the most ridiculous rainbow tutti-fruity costume you ever saw. Matt Carpenter looked a fool in that get-up. How do they get the players to do it?
Yeah, it’s bad all over, Bling. That baseball gently floated down from the sky until it hit the web of his oven mitt and he dropped it.
