St. Louis 2025 Game #15 thread – Sunday, April 13 vs. Philadelphia Phillies

[jj-cf-stl]

With the lefties due up we need him back out there.

[PugsleyAddams]

Maybe it’s my imagination, but I think 98% of starting pitchers have extremely long legs. Manute Bol might have missed his true calling as a Hall of Fame hurler vs an NBA reserve.

[AlbertTheMachine]

Pitching is more legs than arm actually so it makes sense to target long legged individuals for pitchers.

[jj-cf-stl]

John Gant looked like uncle Sam on his stilts.

[PugsleyAddams]

An unusually low scoring Cards-Phils series. With only a few more innings to go, the Cards have tallied just 5 runs in this series and Philadelphia only 4. A far cry from the Albert Pujols – Ryan Howard series’.

[AlbertTheMachine]

Really good start by Liberatore as he out-dueled Zach Wheeler today. He is making me not look stupid for saying the last 2 years he needs to be in the rotation.

[jj-cf-stl]

Libby carved Schwarber up. 6 scoreless.

[PugsleyAddams]

Oh my…..7 Libby K’s and no runs in 6 innings of labor. Maybe he’s seen the light and is on his way to grandiose things.

[gscottar]

Good to see Contreras get off the schneid. We need him to get on a tear and earn some of that $18M.

[jj-cf-stl]

Castellanos ends a third inning today.
95.6mph on Libbys last fastball.

[PugsleyAddams]

Kind of hard to believe that Burly has yet to eclipse an outfield wall with bat in hand this year. Maybe he’ll do it in the 8th today?

[AlbertTheMachine]

Donny with the double and Arenado with a 2 hit game driving in the run.

[PugsleyAddams]

Donovan & Arenado with consecutive 1 out doubles lengthens the St. Louis advantage to 3-0 here in the 6th…..and looking for more. Let’s pad this puppy to at least 4-0 shall we.

[AlbertTheMachine]

That was an interesting ground rule double by Gorman. I don’t recall the last time I saw one like that in that area with such a big hop.

[gscottar]

It’s the Nolan and Nolan show here with each getting an RBI double.

[PugsleyAddams]

Me too Albert……very unusual chalk rising bloop ground rule 2 bagger to left for our 4-0 lead.

[PugsleyAddams]

Maton through 8 1/3 innings of work this season has whiffed 10 with 0 walks and yielded 0 runs on just 4 hits…..pretty darn impressive!

[jj-cf-stl]

Another quiet inning from Maton. Contact or K is working.

[PugsleyAddams]

Stramm on in relief now……and check out that bulky beard out, TD, Albert & JJ!! It makes Marsh’s mug look like Don Knotts’.

[jj-cf-stl]

Pozo’s hitting is just a plus. I really like his pitch calling. He’s earned playing time.

[PugsleyAddams]

This one is now turning into a laugher as it’s 5-0 Cards with 0 outs and a man at 2nd. Let’s get 3 more and then we’ll call off the dogs on these Philadelphians.

[PugsleyAddams]

On second glance it’s not Stramm’s beard that’s so shaggy, but rather his hair. The guy definitely needs a trim, as he looks like a hippie straight out of the 60’s.

[PugsleyAddams]

Carlos Eduardo Hernandez on to toe the Philadelphia rubber in the 8th……and Arenado promptly greets him with a long drive to center, but not quite long enough. Then Contreras lines a blast off the base of the left field wall for a double and Carlos Eduardo is fooling nobody yet here this inning.

[858booyah]

I was going to say that it would be a shame if we didn’t get any runs this inning with the hard hit balls that Hernandez has surrendered and then Walker clobbers a homer to make it 8-0.

[PugsleyAddams]

Walker absolutely destroys a Carlos Eduardo offering to the seats in left! 7-0 now……..definitely time to call of the dogs as we’ve thoroughly throttled these Phillies on this fine Sunday afternoon.
