2023 StL Game #64: Friday, June 9 vs. Reds

Practically all good managers have used their number one SB threat as middle of the order guys. It’s an old tried and true indian trick used to deceive and confuse the unsuspecting enemy…Custer fell for it.

The line-up of this ’23 edition is obviously constructed in a manner as to produce as many W’s as is possible. When something works, stay with it…

Arenado with the 2 run dinger. Nice call by John Rooney on KMOX.

Indeed! Good to see Carlson back. Would love to see him show some of that promise he displayed when he was in the minor league system. Like him out there for his defense regardless.

I can’t recall the last time I saw anyone tater-up on a 3-0 pitch. At any rate, I oughta’ be able to memorize that one. Nado put some cruel and unusual on that 3-0.

Monty shaky in the second, but gets out of it unscathed. Oh, our neighbor cancelled the NBA watch party tonight, and we don’t have cable so am watching the last place Cardinals.

He put that one on a tee for Walker! Nice.

It’s crazy that we have a positive run differential but a terrible record. That leads you to believe we have some bad luck, plus some poor management in high leverage situations. With a good manager we would only be about 5 games under. 😀

Walker could always hit fastballs thrown right down the middle. That’s not his issue.

Brewers down by 4 vs. A’s in 2nd inning. Pirates up big over Mets, Cubs haven’t started yet. Go A’s!

Every pitcher seems to be just throwing pitches to Gorman right at the top of the zone or below the zone. And he keeps swinging and missing. He’s going to have to start recognizing them and laying off. He did that well early on but for the last month he hasn’t.
