Contreras looked a little over-matched on that 1-2 fastball from Pagan for the swinging K. Almost looked like Willson was guessing something off speed.
If the Gorilla can keep it at a 1 run lead, I like our chances in the last half.
Here’s a chance to take advantage of last at bats.
Getting Nado on base to start the inning would be nice. Then possibly Gorman or Noot to walk it off.
5-9 have 2 hits and 3 walks to show for the day. Add Willson and it’s even worse.
Very clutch by Nado. Very unclutch by Gorman and Noot.
Big K by Helsley. Stephenson was 4-6 on him before that K.
Let’s get out of this heat and walk this off in the 10. Iced cold lemonade for everyone!
That’s the right idea! I’d sac-bunt with Gehrig standing in…
Almost ate him up. Good thing he mishandled it or it may have been 2.
Bases loaded and nobody out and they can’t score a run.
It would be so nice if we had somebody that could hit.
Now who gets the baseball?
Ouch. That was a golden opportunity. You’ve got to feel a sense of doom when you let that sort of chance slip away.
Maton in to work the 11th.
B2B2B Ks to end each of the last 2 innings.
Francona countered with the right move and loaded ’em up and got what he needed. What’s the Redbird manager do here with a runner at 3B and 1 out?
If ever a K was needed, that was it.
Jumped out ahead and then lost him.
C’mon Maton, put this guy away.
Another lead-off tater from Nado?
That’ll do it…Nice walk-off W!
Dr. Pozo makes a house call to Busch Stadium!
Looked like another inning of free baseball but Pozo saves the day. Series win.
Haha!…I’ll save the free baseball for when we get out of purgatory.
