It did indeed. Then JoJo threw a middle middle sinker that he got away with. Onto the bottom of the 8th.
Everything’s relative and 19 years of an entirely crime free neighborhood just makes it seem like the last couple of seasons have been total anarchy on the basepaths.
Whether its pitchers slow to the plate or catchers slow with the throw, word has gotten around.
Do the first base coaches still have a stop watch timing the pitcher, or is there a newfangled way now?
Siani’s hit had him up to .240. I checked baseball reference for his WAR and it is just .8 still. He just isn’t drawing the walks like in the minors. Still, in last 30 days he is at .300 batting average and just recently turned 25 and did not play in the Covid year in minors. I think he can still be very valuable for us if he can work counts a little better and draw a walk every once in a while. Ride his defense another couple years until he loses a step from injuries and trade him before he become useless and expensive. The Bader treatment. Burlison’s catch could not have been made by Contreras. Burleson appears to at least be energetic and had made a few plays that pleasantly surprises you.
Thanks for the insight Mr.P.
I like to keep up with how many BA points Siani is out hitting Gorman by. It’s hard to catch up to a guy hitting at a .300 clip. A blistering pace. Gormy’s gonna get smoked.
Perkins – that’s been the thing about Siani that has surprised me most. He used to walk a lot in the minors. But this season has been completely opposite. His walk rate is way too low for a guy with his speed.
Interesting that the Cards are using Helsley here. I get that there is no possibility of a save in the game now but he might better be used in the 10th with the Manfred Man – maybe anyway.
I don’t know, Bling, but I have to think that Rickey, Lou, Tim or Vince would steal 150…By the break.
We need Siani to come up with one of those walks we were discussing.
And never mind. Noot in for Mikey Speeds.
Now, Pages threw out Lane Thomas trying to steal second in the top of the ninth in a tie game. Big play.
Carlson initially broke slightly in and then went back. It was hit hard. But it was catch-able. Carlson really hurting the team today.
And this inning went from potentially really good to a complete disaster. I feel a little bad for Fernandez.
It would have been a good play to catch that ball. But not a “great play” and in St Louis we’ve had years of outfielders consistently at least making the good plays (with a few noted exceptions).
