Arenado whiffed on a similar one yesterday. Not easy plays, but the hard ones are why he makes big bucks.
Well, it was a slick DP on the grounder to the pitcher. Too bad it was the bad guys.
Previously, Goldy looked overmatched and couldn’t handle a hittable heater for strike three. That is concerning.
Maybe we can get down to playing some good ball here in the second.
If they don’t make major changes and soon this thing will have a long and lasting effect on the franchise. This isn’t a one or two season problem. This is a major systematic issue.
I haven’t been in this situation since the early 90’s but I am now actively hoping the Cardinals lose. I hope each game is close and hinges on a key boner by someone not in long term plans like DeJong but I am ready to see guys moved out and the best possible draft pick. So bring on the stinker starts by Wainwright. Let VerHagen blow up a couple 5 run messes. Maybe it will finally convince BDW to pull the trigger on Marmol. I have been a more loyal supporter of Mo than many but it is time to go.
The ESPN announcers aren’t Cardinals homers. They are not exactly complimentary. calling out the lack of enthusiasm contrasted with the Cubs. Not what you want on the world wide stage.
They pointed out body language, etc. Said you don’t have to know a lot about baseball to see the difference between the two teama.
DeJong looks like a pip squeek standing in right after Walker. Give him a box to stand on.
And he can’t even put it in play with the sacks jammed and one out. Pitiful
I would have taken a sac fly from PDJ.
Nah, he only does that with nobody on or with two outs. Otherwise it’s a double play or strike out. Dude should have been released over a year ago, but they are too proud to admit yet another financial mistake. Thank Goodness the Cubs can’t field either.
If you watch Stroman’s pitches, everything is around the edges. On the black. At the top or at the bottom. He seems to put it just where he wants it, and it seems to be geared toward the hitter he is facing. Some guys it up, some, like Golschmidt, its down. In and out. It is very refreshing to see that kind of mastery. The pitching and the game calling. Obviously good game prep and players who can execute. Too bad its the bad guys.
Great, now its the pen. A 2 inning start from Liberace. Oh, but the peripherals !! The spin rate and whatever, 4 pitches, he’s young for level, its early, he’ll be fine.
Need Woody to come up big today. So far so good as he sets the cubs down neatly in 1-2-3 fashion in the 4th in a 4-4 ballgame.
