StL 2019 Games 136/134 thread: Sun 9/1 vs. Reds (DH2)

[RememberDiz]

This concerns me since Ponce de Leon has walked eight in the last 9 innings, leading to ten runs. Control seems to have become an issue. Recent.

[stlcard25]

Ouch. A bad play all around by Dejong and Carpenter and it puts Ponce in trouble. Reds get the sac fly for a 2-0 lead.

[Euro Dandy]

I’m not sure what DeJong did other than toss the ball right to Carp. Carp evidently misjudged where 3B is. Get to the bag and you can’t go wrong.

[stlcard25]

Knizner ties it with a dinger to left!

[Euro Dandy]

Kiz ties it. Cards sure are getting some nice offensive production from 2 lately.

[stlcard25]

Wong with the triple plates Dexter! 3-2 Cards!

[Euro Dandy]

Now Wong triples in Fowler for the lead, 3-2.

[Wooster]

Back in the game but Wong gets left at third. Ponce had got to stop bleeding hits. We will never keep up at this pace. Been watching on game day Castillo only has 2 speeds 84 or 94. He uses the change up 84 for his money pitch

[Carter Le Grand]

“I’m not sure what DeJong did other than toss the ball right to Carp. Carp evidently misjudged where 3B is. Get to the bag and you can’t go wrong”

I’m with Wolf. Carp’s a FAIL at everything baseball.

[stlcard25]

Senzel ties it at 3.

[stlcard25]

Ponce is getting hit hard now. Might need to dip into the bullpen early.

[stlcard25]

Leone in and he walks Vanmeter. Reds are threatening to blow this one open. Bases loaded, none out.

[stlcard25]

A big K of Galvis for the first out. A super slow roller plates the Reds a run.

[Wooster]

Got out of that with just one more run. Could have been worse

[Euro Dandy]

PDL does exactly what you’d expect a middle/long reliever to do as he really struggled in the 5th. He couldn’t get an out in giving up the tying run and leaving two more runners on base. Leone came in relief, but walked his first batter to load the bases with no outs. From there he did pretty well to allow just one more run to give the Reds a 4-3 lead. No sweat, plenty of time for these Cards to come back.

[stlcard25]

Castillo throws one away and Wong is on third with one out. Dejong needs to get this run in. He strikes out. Dangit.

[stlcard25]

Castillo hangs one to O’Neill and gets away with it. Then Ks him on the change. That may be it for him for the game though.

[Euro Dandy]

That was bad to decline the gift the Reds wanted to give the Cards. DeJong is lost tonight at the plate.

Mayers in, making this a critical portion of the game.

[Euro Dandy]

No sooner than I posted about Mayers, he does what I feared. I wish they’d really move away from him. How many times do you have to see this to accept it isn’t going to work out for him in StL?

[stlcard25]

Mayers gives up a HR to the first batter. That’s a two run swing there in the last two half innings. Hopefully that’s it for him tonight.

[BlackHillsCard]

Mike Mayers is proof that there is such a thing as AAAA caliber players.

[Wooster]

This is a strange lineup for us and a strange game too. Waiting for something bizzare to happen.

[Wooster]

Need to let Bader in the top of the order next time they’re lookin for 3 or 4 hitters

[RememberDiz]

Coming into today DeJong is 6 of his last 55. averaging a K per game.

Edit: wrong 10 of 50.

[Euro Dandy]

Wong gets a hit to lead off the 8th. He’s been tough lately. DeJong up now with no outs, but strikes out for the 4th time. Terrible night, especially when you thrown in his decision not to throw home on the fielder’s choice that gave the Reds the lead.

O’Neill now up as the tying run.
