StL 2019 NLDS Game 1 thread: Thu 10/3 at Braves

[Euro Dandy]

Fowler does the job on a ground out 4-3. Game tied at 1-1.

[stlcard25]

Smallball there…Bader with the squib hit, advances on a bunt, steals 3rd, scores on the grounder to the right side. Tied at 1

[Euro Dandy]

Edman follows with a double. C’mon Goldy, deliver the lead. Keuchel’s day is done.

[David]

Tied at 1 half way through with a chance for more.
Is it just me or does the atmosphere at Sun Trust seem rather ho hum?

[Wooster]

Nice run on small ball. We’re gettin’ guys on base , just got to get ’em in. Just got to get it out of the infield. Nice ab by Dexter!

[Cardinal in France]

These Braves are playing some nice defense, regrettably.

[David]

We definitely seem to be the more loose of the 2 teams. After early struggles, Miko seems to have settled in.

[Wooster]

Do the Braves still have Chief Knock-a-Homah! I think I remember him coming out of his teppee in deep right field and dancing around when they got a dinger. Back in Fulton County Stadium I believe.

[Wooster]

Ozuna double lead off, Molina moves him over, yeah baby small ball it!

[David]

Good hit Ozuna. Yadi needs to bring him in, at least get him over which he did. Now DeJong can give us the lead.
Don’t. Strikeout

[David]

We’ve had our chances but have yet to take advantage . Hopefully Bader can come through

[Wooster]

Wow DeJong and Bader both pop out…

[David]

Which he doesn’t. This has been the Cardinal offense throughout the season. At least they’re consistent .

[Wooster]

DeJong came up short last time he was up in a rbi situation in this game. May need to move him in the order.

[David]

Always a big out when you can get Freeman.

[David]

DeJong rarely comes through when he represents the go ahead run or the tying run. I wonder if there’s a stat on that? 🤔

[Euro Dandy]

Yadi, DeJong and Bader all have bad at bats to leave Ozuna stranded. That’s twice Yadi had reached outside to roll a weak grounder with a great chance to score. Cards need the vet to be smart at the plate. He’s hacking at the wrong pitches.

[Euro Dandy]

I’ve seen enough of Webb.

[David]

Not looking good here. 2nd and 3rd, with 1 out

[David]

Based loaded. Looking for the dp

[CardsFanInChiTown]

Was Mikolas pulled a little soon? If he’s getting outs, and pitch count wasn’t bad, why pull him?

Every reliever used is a chance for a reliever to have a bad night in my opinion. AKA, if it aint broke, no reason to try and fix it…

[858booyah]

I told you Webb was a ticking time bomb.

[GACard]

So much for that defensive duo in the middle infield. I’ll never talk them up again

[Euro Dandy]

Too bad, this game was winnable if the Cards played clean. Edman’s error allows 2 runs and makes the outcome a very unlikely win for the Cards given how unproductive the offense continues to be.

[Wooster]

That can happen when you put the ball in play instead of popping out
