StL 2019 Game 56 thread: Fri 5/31 vs. Cubs

[PugsleyAddams]

Sweet sweet analysis, stlcard25!!! You have now moved up from “Christmas card” to “Christmas present” status come this December, stlcard25.

[David]

It’s now time for the bats to come alive

[stlcard25]

Whew, after the Bader whiff on the tailing liner by Almora, Mikolas settles in and gets Bote to fly out. He was pretty solid tonight; we could use more starts like that from Miles.

[PugsleyAddams]

This game may still be 1-1 in the 18th inning the way this game is going. Then I hope Dave’s prediction comes true and Bader’s sac fly wins it 2-1.

[PugsleyAddams]

Wow! That bottom of the 7th was not exactly a “How to Hit” clinic put on by our boys.

[stlcard25]

It would be really nice to have a shutdown inning from Cmart here.

[PugsleyAddams]

Carlos on in the 8th….get em Carlos!!

[PugsleyAddams]

Geesh, Carlos must have $60,000 worth of tattoos. He could have bought the Esteemed Rat a new BMW with that kind of coin.

[stlcard25]

Two grounders and a K. That will do. Still 1-1. C’mon, offense!

[David]

The month of May was not exactly how to put on a hitting clinic. It’s like Mabry was still the hitting coach

[David]

Carlos is competing for a spot in the rotation and he may have it before June is over

[David]

I don’t have to be right. I’d be fine with a game winner from anyone

[David]

Carp needs to be more aggressive with that first pitch

[PugsleyAddams]

Brad Brach on for Chicago. I wonder if he’s an aire to the Brach’s Candy estate? Wrigley chewing gum, Brach’s Candy….any other cubbie food ties? Didn’t Ron Santo once own a pizza chain in the greater Chicago area?

[David]

Another ho hum Cardinal inning from their bats

[PugsleyAddams]

I’m being totally serious here…..my mind has NEVER wandered so much when the Cardinals are batting as this year. Anyone else experiencing This? This past Cardinal at bat, I was thinking about this donut shop that I was going to be hitting up in the morning and how much my Milwaukee Bucks let me down. I used to never do that when our Birds were batting.

[David]

Brach’s is good Candy

[PugsleyAddams]

Dave…..I like your style! I hope you will be joining us on future game threads? Some newer posters pop in once and then they are gone. I have a solid feeling about you.

[David]

My wanders a bit but it’s more reminiscing about the 85 club. That’s was a great team

[David]

I’m here to stay Pugsley

[stlcard25]

Nice play by Dejong there to get the last out of the inning…and hopefully the last Cubs out of the game.

[PugsleyAddams]

Sweet!

That ’85 club was a dandy. Both ’85 and ’87 should have been WS champs.

[David]

A good cure to a wandering mind is A walk off.

[gscottar]

A walk off would be a nice way to kick off this weekend!

[PugsleyAddams]

Where are you from and what Redbird team was your favorite, Dave.
