St. Louis 2025 Game #49 thread – Tuesday, May 20 vs. Detroit Tigers

[1toughdominican]

The box for last night’s game indicated a gate of about 25K which is obviously infalted in contrast to actual turnstile clicks, but I don’t guess it was too bad for a Monday. Tonight looks skinny and I would have thought more fans would have shown up to see this Detroit CYA winner take his turn in the Tiger rotation. Especially after the recent Redbird upswing and surge in the standings. I think it was booyah who said he didn’t think the Redbird faithful were quite ready to return en masse. Turns out, it looks like he was right.

I’m going out on a limb. Arenado goes yard.

[1toughdominican]

Haha!…I could have done that…

[1toughdominican]

We’re living on the OF track so far tonight.

[jj-cf-stl]

We are taking more to center and RF now. That should pay dividends.

[jj-cf-stl]

Well, if they’re going to slug for Skubal….

[bicyclemike]

Probably looking at an “L” tonight. Skubal is one of the best, and while Fedde has had his moments he is not in Skubal’s class.

[AlbertTheMachine]

Skubal’s fastball looks unhittable. 100 MPH from a lefty isnt’ fair. You can easily see why this guy has won a Cy Young and may win a couple of more in his career.

The best bet for the Cards is go up there and foul pitches off to drive up the pitch count to get to the pen.

[AlbertTheMachine]

Would you guys back the dump truck full of money to Skubal’s house in 2 years if he does reach FA. He would be 30 years old when he reaches FA

[AlbertTheMachine]

Well that helps. Herrera with a bloop hit that should have been caught and Arenado with a torpedo HR.

[1toughdominican]

Haha…KCB is a genuine baseball gypsy…Nado with the 2 run TATER to cut the lead in half!

[KeepComingBack]

I’m going out on a limb. Arenado goes yard

Pats self on back

[bicyclemike]

Nice call KCB.

[jj-cf-stl]

Nado joins the “homer vs a lefty” club with his first for the season.

[1toughdominican]

Haha…I hear the Twilight Zone jingle! Hey, KCB, are you heading to Vegas anytime soon?

[KeepComingBack]

Arenado is wound tight. Moving him down takes some pressure off.

[1toughdominican]

Nice…Scott with the 2 out BB. KCB needs to call the SB…

[AlbertTheMachine]

Are Skubal’s pants just way tighter than most pitchers or his legs just so giant he makes other player look like they have twigs?

[jj-cf-stl]

There were pitches Scott could have chased. Small steps.

[bicyclemike]

Yeah, Skubal has that beefy lower half. Gets a lot of the power on his pitches from his lower torso and legs.

[bicyclemike]

Arenado makes it look easy at third a lot of times.

Matz has been good in this role.

[AlbertTheMachine]

Matz has been great in that role. I wouldn’t mind trying to fit even more innings in for him.

[AlbertTheMachine]

I’ll try to pull a KCB and call a right CF double from Herrera

[KeepComingBack]

There’s a reason I don’t gamble Dom.

[AlbertTheMachine]

Herrera with an oppo field single for another run. I’ll take it. General spot of the field was close to right at least
