2023 StL Game #97: Thursday, July 20 at Cubs

I don’t think he’d be silly enough to mock Don Vito, Euro. Fredo maybe, but not Vito…

Speaking of mocking a Don, we all saw what happened to Kline when he mocked Don Tony…Haha!

Whats with our guys losing the ball tonight? Someone messing with the lights?

Wisdom gets doinked in the cranium. Looks o.k., we don’t want to see anyone hurt, but hope it’s not a rallying point for the Cubs.

Whats up there in the sky? A hole in the sky? Jeez!

Combination of lights and wind is really playing a number on our defense. Weird night.

Don’t know, Wooster, but early in the game I saw Burly shading his eyes with his hand while he was merely looking over towards Matz on the mound coming set while he was situated at the 1B bag while holding the baserunner on. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that before, so evidently there’s an unusual amount of excess glare coming from somewhere.

Lets see if Romeo can do it again.

Jo Jo is nails.

Gorman with a nice play at second.

If they hold on and make it 6 in a row, they deserve plenty of accolades for not packing it in. Almost everyone detests a quitter.

JoJo pitching like a man on fire, but his career numbers are not good. Go figure. 52 appearances since 2020, no decisions, no saves, WHIP lowest this year and first year below 1.0. ERA lowest this year (2.76) career average 5.16. I want three more like him!

Yeah 4ev, I was looking at him and he’s got an odd career pitching line in the context of a bit under 55 IP’ed in 4 seasons. One season was the flu event season, so that explains a little bit, but it’s still unusual even for a BP guy to go 3 seasons and not have a solitary decision.
