    I want a slow motion replay of where it landed.

    The Pirates are certainly being generous to their visitors!

    Gags – Hopefully we score 10 in the top of the 8th and it’s Pozo.

    Thought we might have Pages bunt there.

    Oh man, that was a pitch to hit for JJ on 2-0. Swings through the 2-1, and hits it well on the 2-2 but right to Cruz.

    Now Herrera lets a fat 1-0 pitch go. Come on guys, pull the trigger on those!

    Now they are jumping on those pitches.

    It is getting closer to the 10 runs this inning I asked for above.

    Only 5 in the end. Not enough to put Pozo on the mound. Stanek gets the call. Here we go.

    jnevel-

    They got half of that! So perhaps Po?

    With a 6 run lead, I’d try Svanson and wouldn’t be completely terrified of Stanek…

    Now the question is can Svanson keep it at least to a 3 run lead heading to the ninth.

    Stanek with a 6 run lead. I still don’t feel comfortable.

    Gscottar – At what point would you feel comfortable turning to Stanek? 14 runs?

    At least! Ha!

    Hey he did lower his ERA down to 8.31.

    10-4 heading to the bottom of the 9th. This would be Fernandez time, but Fernandez was optioned. So Stanek again?

    No, it’s Svanson. Let’s hope for limited drama. I’d ask for no drama, but that just seems unrealistic.

    Svanson allows 1 on a single and a double. But we win 10-5. Fantastic sweep on the road vs a pretty good Pirate team. Great win over Skenes as well.

    Cards get the 4 game sweep and are now 18-13. Not bad for our rebuilding Birds.

    It should be an interesting weekend with the big bad Dodgers coming into town.

    Whew.

    Sweep!

    And the top 4 in the lineup all have an OPS over .800.

    Svanson manages to get it done. Sweep!

    Skeenes has not had a lot of success against the Cardinals in his career, I believe that is now an 0-5 record

    A .581 win pct equates to a 94-68 record.

    That would be a bit better than I prognosticated Bling . . . by 20 wins. And I think I was about the most optimistic of our bunch.

    Yes that would be an epic miss by me too.

    Checking the box score, I see that Pedro Pages is now batting .262. That puts him ahead of all but Burly and Walker of those in today’s lineup. That is another epic miss by me.

    Good stuff to get the road sweep. The team is keeping their head above water, which has surprised me. The pitching isn’t very good and neither is the bottom half of the lineup, but they’re scoring enough to fill the win column.

    From the low point on Sunday to the highs of a 4 game sweep on the road against Pitt. This will continue for our baby birds.
