St. Louis 2024 Game #4 thread – at Dodgers, Sunday, March 31

[PugsleyAddams]

Have to admit that I didn’t think Steven Jakob Matz had it in him any longer. He’s been brilliant. Even if he gets lit up next inning, I would still be excited about seeing his next start.

[blingboy]

NA is still Ofer the season. Any hit at all would be wecome.

[1toughdominican]

Matz the difference in this one through 5 with only 70 pitches.

[ZTR]

Well, well, well. What have we here?

[PugsleyAddams]

That 3-1 Stone pitch to Contreras was right down Broadway….
I wanted to whack the darn thing myself. Luckily he walks on the next pitch and the Dodgers must have seen the same thing I did…..Stone is gassed and heading to the showers.

Alex Vesia your new Dodger hurler.

[1toughdominican]

Sheesh…Runs it to 3-1 and then pops out into foul territory.

[PugsleyAddams]

Vesia walks Walker putting runners at 1st and 2nd with one out and we’re at a crossroads in this game. Quite simply, if we score this inning we will win this ballgame. If we don’t we’re toast.

[1toughdominican]

Haha…You don’t think a 2 run lead will hold up, Pugs? Me either…

[PugsleyAddams]

Scott walks to load em up. Love Scott so far…..hope he never sniffs Memphis.

Nope TD, NEED to score here.

[blingboy]

Somebody else’s pen having walk troubles is so refreshing.

[1toughdominican]

Yeah, I like him better than Tony Scott.

[PugsleyAddams]

Ouch! Winn whiffs……this game is totally resting on Donovan’s bat here.

[Albert de Morcerf]

Donovan does what it takes!

[PugsleyAddams]

Yeah, I like him better than Tony Scott.

Like him better than Scott Rolen, TD?

[1toughdominican]

Nice! A little Biggio action for a run…

[PugsleyAddams]

Donovan hit by a pitch and we just won this ballgame.

[1toughdominican]

Haha…E-2 for another run!

[blingboy]

Its too bad Gorman could break it open.

[PugsleyAddams]

Dodgers with a runner at 2nd with one out and one in and Matz is exiting this ballgame with a 4-1 advantage here in the 6th. He can win it but rightfully cannot lose it.

Andrew Michael Kittredge your new Cardinal pitcher.

[CardsRedSox4Ever]

Oli with the good decision to pull Matz after 5 1/3. Let’s see if our pen can get him the win.

[PugsleyAddams]

Oh oh, Kittredge promptly issues a walk and a Muncy base hit to right and that loads the bases to it’s capacity with Dodgers with only one out…..let’s stay with the action shall we?

Outman – come on Kitty…..get this guy! He hits a little nubber out in front of home plate that Kitty gloves and then just lolligags it over to 1st to get Outman by a whisker…..can’t pusyfoot around like that, Kitty!

Lux – Flies out to Scott in center to retire the side and that inning could have been much worse. 4-2 Redbirds.

[BlackHillsCard]

Another reason to hate Marmol: Fernandez has yet to pitch and Pallante warmed three freaking times ladt night to leave the bullpen shorthanded. Gallegos has also pitched 2 straight days and Helsley threw 20+ pitches

[PugsleyAddams]

I know Betts doesn’t make many outs, but does he ever make a quiet out?

[PugsleyAddams]

Pallante mows them down 1-2-3 in the 7th.

[blingboy]

It will be interesting to see how OlliMo handles the pen to close this one out.
