Gyorko a leadoff hit!
Carp whiffs and I don’t what his issue is tonight as his slump is over. I guarantee you this….Carp is going to go crazy at Wrigley this weekend.
Marcell – Infield hit….sweet!
O’Neill – Oh wow if he could have straightened that one(foul) out. Struck out on a high slider.
May 2, 2019 at 8:09 pm #89663The Carp K parade needs to end. Then O’Neill Ks with 2 on for the second out in the 8th. Bader batting now and this situation might be the Cards last good chance to keep this streak going. Doolittle coming in relief of Barraclough.
May 2, 2019 at 8:09 pm #89664Dolittle coming on in relief for Bearclaw, to face Bader. Let’s hope he “does little” in his quest to get out of Washington’s pickle here in the 8th.
May 2, 2019 at 8:13 pm #89665It is only 39 plate appearances this season, but #stlcards OF Tyler O'Neill's K rate is up to 46.2%. Can he get right coming off the bench?

May 2, 2019 at 8:13 pm #89666Bases loaded after Bader walks. Goldy batting. High drama.
May 2, 2019 at 8:13 pm #89667Goldy up with the bases at their full capacity and 2 outs.
May 2, 2019 at 8:15 pm #89668Between Goldy’s and O’Neill’s fouls this inning, the Cards just aren’t meant to win I guess!
May 2, 2019 at 8:16 pm #89669Between them, Goldy and O’Neill have about 950 feet of foul ballness to left with those 2 mammoth shots….now Goldy whiffs.
May 2, 2019 at 8:18 pm #89670Goldy punched out with the bases loaded.
Shildt did not agree with that check swing call. The @Cardinals go to the bottom of the eighth inning down by a run. #TimeToFly pic.twitter.com/k3t2ePBBBY

May 2, 2019 at 8:19 pm #89671Try a new link, Brian.
Now it’s working.
May 2, 2019 at 8:23 pm #89673Leone flat out getting the job done tonight . Let’s make him the winner….though Dakota deserves it….oops, Kendrick rips a 2 out base knock and that will send Mr. Leone to the pines.
May 2, 2019 at 8:29 pm #89674Brian, the answer to the O’Neill bench question is no. He cannot.
I just got home, turning the game on now. Doesn’t look like I missed a lot.
May 2, 2019 at 8:31 pm #89675We’ve outhit these chaps 8-5 tonight, but we’ve unfortunately outerrored them 2-0 also….(cough cough Munoz)….speaking of Munoz, he just smokes a leadoff base hit up the middle, his 3rd hit tonight.
May 2, 2019 at 8:34 pm #89676Dolittle can bring the mustard!
May 2, 2019 at 8:36 pm #89677Paul Goldschmidt has been a monster with men on base over his career.
Bases Empty: .869 OPS with an average BB/K ratio of 300/632
Men On Base: .997 OPS with a solid BB/K ratio of 266/463But here’s the weird catch. He’s not good with the bases loaded. In fact he’s much worse with the bases loaded than he is in any other men-on-base situation.
Bases Loaded: .854 OPS with a crap BB/K ratio of 6/28
Well, make that 6/29 now. I’m not saying that Shildt shouldn’t have used him there. Not saying that at all. But it makes for an interesting study of psychology, in that Goldy certainly appears to simply place too much pressure on himself, or just gets impatient, when the sacks are jammed. He isn’t himself.
May 2, 2019 at 8:37 pm #89678Tell you what….between Strasburg and Dolittle, that’s one heck of a lot of homliness.
May 2, 2019 at 8:37 pm #89679After the Munoz single, Dejong struck out and Wong gave one a ride that came up a bit short. Now can Jedd come through?
May 2, 2019 at 8:38 pm #89680Gyorko pops out and the Cards fall, 2-1. On to Chicago.
May 2, 2019 at 8:40 pm #89682Jeff Gyorko, stlcard25????
May 2, 2019 at 8:44 pm #89683Jeff Gyorko, stlcard25????
May as well have been Jeff! He didn’t do much, haha.
May 2, 2019 at 8:55 pm #89685Just 2nd time this year Cardinals held to 1 (or no) runs.

May 2, 2019 at 8:56 pm #89686Pick your poison. Munoz and Gyorko had five of the team’s nine hits – and both the errors.
May 2, 2019 at 8:58 pm #89687Tough to lose those 1 run games, but cannot complain getting 3 of 4 on the road. We did luck out a bit getting those guys while they are banged up.
Shildt played it different than I would have. I wanted Goldy up in the 7th I believe it was, hitting for Wong against the lefty. Then you bring him in to play first, move Carp to third and Jedd to second.
You have a day game tomorrow in Chicago, so no way I play Molina unless it is an emergency. Keep the switch hitting catcher in there. Plus you might have had Goldy up again in the ninth.
Should be a good one this weekend. Hopefully we can get at least two, but Chicago is playing well.
I like that the Cubs play those Friday afternoon games. I am surprised more teams don’t do that. People love to leave work early on Friday, and you know the area restaurants and bars like it.
May 2, 2019 at 9:01 pm #89688UncleDennyParticipantIn all fairness, it’s hard to stay sharp with such little playing time. If I were Schildt? I would have rested just a couple of regulars at a time.
May 2, 2019 at 10:14 pm #89700I have a feeling as soon as Dex is feeling better. We see O’Neill down in AAA and Gregorson in the bullpen.
The game went about as I thought. Low scoring with us having chances to take it. Oh well onto Wrigley.
