St. Louis 2026 Game #130 thread – Friday, August 21 at Philadelphia Phillies

[PugsleyAddams]

Torres with a 2 out base hit to center scores Burly and this game is knotted at 5-5 in the 8th.

[PugsleyAddams]

JJ with a nice throw from the seat of his pants to retire the Phillies in the 8th. We need Baez to go downtown again here in the 9th.

[PugsleyAddams]

Oh oh, Duran Duran on to pitch the 9th…….he’s a pretty tough cookie.

[PugsleyAddams]

Gassy is downright filthy! Whiffs Schwarber to commence the 9th. Then he promptly whiffs Turner……this long haired gem is near unhittable.

Gets Harper to ground out softly to 2nd to retire the side. To extras we go.

[AlbertTheMachine]

Gastelum has been so much better lately. He made Trea Turner look silly

[mudville]

Gutsy for Oli to let Gastelum relieve. He’s gotten knocked around as he finds his footing at the major league level.

[AlbertTheMachine]

Unfortunate to hear Dobbins left with forearm discomfort. That is the one I feel like always turns into some type of elbow problem after diagnosis.

[AlbertTheMachine]

Ferminator seems to come up with the timely hit

[AlbertTheMachine]

Mud, if you count the 9th tonight, Gastelum’s last 6 games he has pitched 7.1 innings striking out 15 of the 24 batters he has faced with 1 walk and 1 hit allowed.

Let’s see if he can close it out.

[PugsleyAddams]

McFarlane pitching the 10th and The Ferminator lines a 1 out single to left scoring the sissy runner from 2nd…..6-5 Birds.

* Not referring to Burly as a sissy…..not his fault MLB installed that silly ghost runner rule.

Back in the day when Nebraska had a good team!

As for our Cards, I like their grit. Portends well for the coming years.

[AlbertTheMachine]

Wow Fermin just whiffed on that fly ball. It would have tied the game, but that straight whiff loses the game

[PugsleyAddams]

When Gassy misses he doesn’t miss by much……oh no what a way to lose.

[AlbertTheMachine]

How is that not an error and is a triple? He just missed the fly ball.

[blingboy]

Sometimes you need a real center fielder out there.

[PugsleyAddams]

This season is quite odd for me in that other than losing to the cubbies, losses don’t really bother me. It’s as obvious as the nose on Jimmy Durante’s face that the future is extremely bright for our Cardinals.

[Brian Walton]

I thought the same thing, bling. But neither CF was available. Can’t catchers play out there? 😉

[blingboy]

Can’t catchers play out there?

As Dorothy Parker once said, “I wouldn’t be a bit surprised”.

[Cardinal in France]

I went to bed last night top of the 6th with Cardinals leading 4-3 only to discover this morning we got involved with that stupid ghost runner nonsense and ended up losing. Double damn!

[bicyclemike]

Fermin did not play that ball well, but it was a tough play. Those balls hit right at you like that are the toughest to judge, but Jose is not a CFer. Curt Flood, Jim Edmonds, Willie McGee and Victor Scott would have had it. Probably Nate Church as well. Tough to lose on that, but it happens.

Get ‘em today.

[blingboy]

Fermin is a good all around ball player. He just doesn’t have much exposure to CF. Next time he might make that play. He will have a better chance at least.

[Ratsbuddy]

Dang, I just watched the replay of the ball Fermin missed.

I bet Dane Myers would have hauled that one in..:)
