StL 2019 Game 5 thread: Mon. 4/1 at Pirates

[thejager]

as i get older i start wanting to just have a team of Melky Cabrera’s and Nick Markakis’ bats, just guys that put the bat on the ball…they dont have to have power but at least they can get free runs when they are presented to them

[BlackHillsCard]

Listening to Edmonds making excuses for Bader’s error is hilarious.

[thejager]

with weak dive yesterday in CF to end the game (as valiant as it was) and that drop…Bader’s hoeps for a GG in CF are gonna be tough 😛

[CariocaCardinal]

I thought Arnold’s specialty was helping players make contact. I guess I was wrong.

[BlackHillsCard]

I wanna be wrong but so far my first impressions of Miller is we basically just signed a left handed Greg Holland.

[GACard]

The way Miller is missing is alarming. He’s not even close. But they will use him like he’s 15-17 Andrew Miller until he blows 5-7 games

[BlackHillsCard]

I’m surprised Pittsburgh is not gonna use Vazquez for the 2 inning save with day off tomorrow.

[Brian Walton]

Despite the game almost getting away from them multiple times, the Cards tied the game on O’Neill’s RBI double in the bottom of the eighth.

[BlackHillsCard]

Wild pitch sends Munoz to 2B with 2 outs and O’Neal with a precision placement down the left field foul line to even the score 4-4

[BlackHillsCard]

Pittsburgh now bringing Vazquez in with go-ahead run at 2B with 2 out. I really thought they would go to him sooner.

[stlcard25]

Vazquez is quite the weapon. He’s not quite Hader, but Marp had almost no chance there.

[stlcard25]

Mayers coughs up the gopher ball and the Pirates retake the lead.

[BlackHillsCard]

Looks like Vazquez can get the W as Mayers throws a gopher.

[BlackHillsCard]

I should mention at this point the Cardinals have struck out 15 times again. That’s now back-to-back games of 15 strike outs. They are striking out at an astronomical pace.

[Brian Walton]

I can feel the breeze through my television screen!

[stlcard25]

Boy, the Pirates are really trying to give this one to the Cards. A comedy of errors thus far. Will the Cards take the gift?

[stlcard25]

Jmart clubs one in the gap and it’s tied again!

[GACard]

Martinez will be starting at least 50% of the time again soon. Cards need that bat in the lineup

[BlackHillsCard]

To the bottom of the 9th still tied 5-5

[Euro Dandy]

So they’re still playing, huh. I was hoping victory would already be in hand, but at least I get to watch the end now since I’m home from work.

[stlcard25]

Well, bad call by the 3B ump and the home plate guy just screwed the Cards over on top of it. The Cardinals now have no third baseman.

[Euro Dandy]

Carp melts down after striking out and gets tossed. Bad Carp is the guy who plays in April I guess.

[Euro Dandy]

Bases loaded, two outs for Munoz.

[stlcard25]

What a weird game. The Cards score the go ahead run on a passed ball. I’d feel better with a couple more in.

[Euro Dandy]

Cards take lead on a passed ball that pops the HP ump’s family jewels. I think Carp must be smiling.
