    13-4. I think Waino may work five, but no more. Let the kids get some experience until we get in trouble.

    Wasn’t it Wainwright that benefited from the ten-run inning in a 12-11 game? 13-4 after 4.

    Wainwright had a quick 4th. Maybe he will go 5. The most intriguing thing about this game now is what might happen when Muñoz bats.

    I’m pretty sure you’re right, Diz, about Wainwright pitching in the Reds game with the 10-spot. It got him off the L hook.

    Whoa! Tuned in at 13-4…now that’s what I’m talking about!

    I hope we’ve spotted Waino enough runs to take this one. Through 5 with 106 pitches.

    Wainos on cruise now, hes lookin good. Definitely got the pitches, I’d let him run as long as he lasts. Just don’t overdo it!

    Wainwright pitches much better with a nine-run lead.

    This lead should hold obviously, which keeps our streak of winning all of the series since the break. That includes two four-gamers on the road.

    This club is feeling it right now!

    Waino wasn’t good at all, but he gutted out 5 innings. Hopefully Mayers can pitch well and go a couple more.

    Well, Paul Dejong is certainly having himself a game. I’d kind of like to see the Cards do enough to get him another at bat and see if he can get a 4th dinger and 5th extra base hit.

    I’m surprised that 8 extra base hits was a major league record. I wonder if three home runs and a double are a Card record for TB?

    Nope…remember Marp’s 3 homers and 2 doubles against the Cubs last year? Mark Whiten also had a 4 HR game.

    Edit: Albert had a 3 HR, one double and one single game against the Cubs in 2004. Those are the ones I can quickly find.

    LOL, do they count home runs when a position player is pitching? Osuna actually looks pretty darn good on the mound. If his hitting doesn’t keep him in the majors, he could re-tool as a hurler.

    Well, I guess we only needed the nine that we got in the second. It sure did feel better to have the other 5. But, we didn’t gain on the Cubs, Brewers, Nats, or Phillies.

    Great win for us but gotta remember we were not playing against top tier pitching. Lots of hits, 3hr game, Yowza! So much easier when we got some cushion, Go Cardinals!

    PDJ should’ve taken the “pat me here” sign off his rump before the interview.

    Has any Cardinal ever hit 5 home runs in one day?

    Oh yeah…. Stan did it in a double-header.

    Great night for the Cards and Paul. 14 runs is amazing. Now don’t go out today and get held to 4 hits like they have done so much this year. Finish this team off.

    Right on Larry! That is exactly what excellent teams do….kick the opposite smack dab in the cajonees when you have them down. Your run of the mill teams will misuse these golden opportunities and rest some players and basically take their foot off the peddle, with the thought that maybe they’re win and maybe they won’t. You gotta get while the getting is good…..and boy these tasty viddles are ripe for the picking in Pittsburgh this week.
