St. Louis 2024 Game #5 thread – at Padres, Monday, April 1

Cha-Ching!

3-0 and Scott will be leading off in the 2nd.

[PugsleyAddams]

He’s only registered 2 outs thus far, but I really like what I’m seeing from Gibson. These 3 runs might be enough if we can keep the bullpen in the bullpen for most of this game.

[jj-cf-stl]

Team D looks good the first few games.

Atta-boy Donny

[PugsleyAddams]

4-0 Birds on a base hit to left by Goldy plating Donovan, whom doubled.

[jj-cf-stl]

Goldy takes advantage of an RBI situation.

[1toughdominican]

All 4 runs on 2 out RBI’s. I like 2 out RBI’s.

[PugsleyAddams]

1 out RBI’s aren’t bad either, TD.

[1toughdominican]

Some’s better than others, but there is no such thing as bad…

[jj-cf-stl]

Donovan started both of those rallies.

[PugsleyAddams]

With that leadoff 2nd inning single, Machado is now 10-28 lifetime vs Gibson.

Machado is quickly erased on a pitcher’s second best friend……your basic garden variety 6-4-3 twin killing.

[1toughdominican]

Billy Williams used to hit him pretty good too.

[jj-cf-stl]

Walker goes oppo

[1toughdominican]

I wonder if Carpenter’s ever reached base twice in the same game on two base hits that didn’t leave the IF?

[PugsleyAddams]

Real tough to imagine any hitter getting the best of Bob Gibson over the long haul, TD. Boy that was a scary lineup the cubs had back in the day with the aforementioned Billy Williams, Banks, Santo, Hickman & Company……and some pretty fair starting pitching too with Fergie, Milt Pappas, Holtzman, Hand and the Reuschel brothers. Kind of amazing that they never sniffed playoff play.

It’s gonna take a HR to score Matt 🙂

My dad used to say, “Uh oh…here comes Willy Billiams”…Haha!

[Jnevel]

Merrill’s first career round tripper.

Let’s get lots more runs and hand this game over to Fernandez from the 7th or 8th inning on.

[1toughdominican]

It went the other way in a hurry.

[PugsleyAddams]

My dad used to say, “Uh oh…here comes Willy Billiams…

Yeah, my dad used to drink when watching the ballgames too, TD. I blame him for my utter devotion to Wild Turkey.

[Jnevel]

Gorman continues his strikeout woes as he swings through his 3rd knuckleball of the night. I guess they don’t practice those at O’Connor High School in Phoenix.

[PugsleyAddams]

Cards lead it 4-1 as we venture on to inning #5. Gibson in control.

[Jnevel]

Profar was last a good player in 2018. He’s been at or below replacement value since. And yet here he is again. And he grounds out on a pitch middle middle. Man is it nice to not be playing the Dodgers tonight.

[Jnevel]

Arenado has upped his OPS by over 300 points tonight going 2 for 3. The mystics of small sample sizes.
