Cardinal pitching has allowed several of those Charley Lindbergh taters the last couple of games. You never want to surrender HR’s, but those of the solo variety are a little less painful. Unless of course, they come off the bat of Mazeroski.
Tip of the day:
Lakers missing 2 of their 3 superstars tonite vs. Durant and company. I made the biggest bet I EVER made on Houston who is only 4.5 pt. favorites! (it should be 20)Have I mentioned lately that I hate Lebron James guts?
When I glanced at today’s line-up my first thought was that it didn’t look too awfully bad until I saw the Bermuda triangle black hole that occupied the 7, 8 and 9 slots. At least we got some production generated from Fermin with the solo tater. At any rate, at some point the Cardinals are going to need at least a token amount of production from the CF and LF positions
Burleson annihilated that pitch from the LH’er. That fastball was a little up and in on the hands too. Not normally in a LH’ed hitter’s wheelhouse, but Alec hit it dead on the screws.
Now that Astros catcher down on one knee with a runner on third couldn’t move enough to block the errant pitch and its a run for us.
I’d have to entertain the idea of handing the baseball to O’Riley O’Brien to work the 9th. He’s in a nice rhythm and the last thing you want him to do is to take on any rust.
Altuve’s still only 36. I’d bet a dollar that he’ll eclipse the 3000 hit plateau. I still recall watching his first game against the Cardinals and he had a really nice night with the bat.
And now after three straight walks the Astros have the bases load with nobody out.
UPDATE:
Walker hits a grounder up the middle and the Redbirds turn the 643 DP.Svanson really, really struggling throwing a strike. Fortunately, the Astros are swinging at a few of them.
And he does finally close out the 8th allowing only 1.
Well soriano finally laid an egg and walks 2 and gives up a 3 run homer. Kind of lucky so far relief has been sketchy outside of graceffo.
Altuve seems be only a pull person now. Hes so far off the plate i dont think he could hit a strike even over outer half of plate.
That’s now a collective 22.1 IP’ed from the left/right punch of Romero/O’Reily without allowing a solitary ER. That’s pretty good.
