StL 2024 Game #11 thread – vs. Phillies, Monday, April 8

I understand switching. Castellanos could easily make it a 2-run game which feels like a mountain to climb. But I’m not sure what Ollie can do to inject something into this offense.

[bicyclemike]

Brandon Marsh could play in one of those Geico caveman commercials.

[jj-cf-stl]

Ouch

[Jnevel]

Gio comes in to neutralize Castellanos. And then gets bit by Marsh. Ugh.

[bicyclemike]

…or Marsh might make it 3-1. Oh man, Gorman has been so good on defense. Misses an easy one.

I was surprised to see that Willie Mays who had over 12,500 PA’s is way down at #38 on the all time GIDP list with only 251. We all know he could fly, but so could Aaron and Winfield who are 5th and 7th on the all time list with 328 and 319 respectively.

[bicyclemike]

Just barely safe…

[1toughdominican]

Uh oh…watch out for the “deathball”

[1toughdominican]

Haha…That was the “near deathball”…

[bicyclemike]

Schwarber due to make this one a laugher. Whew – thought he did it. Can we somehow score three? Put two on and a miracle Burly blast??? What are the odds on that? 10,000 to 1 maybe?

[bicyclemike]

Two former Rockies facing each other here.

[1toughdominican]

Need someone to reach base.

[1toughdominican]

Here you go, Bikemike…Got a chance.

[jj-cf-stl]

Herrera with a big leagued walk, and Burly turns on one.

[1toughdominican]

Haha…A little more lift and you’d have the 10,000 to 1 shot!

[bicyclemike]

Burly looked good on that AB – aggressive and confident. Man, that third run really hurt.

[jj-cf-stl]

Walker sac fly, 3-2, 2 down

[jj-cf-stl]

Masyn Winn ties it!

[bicyclemike]

Oh man, Winn got a pitch there. Tie game!

[1toughdominican]

Nice!

[Jnevel]

Well, Scott will be our ghost runner. So there’s that.

[bicyclemike]

Yep – hold them in the tenth and we will win. Scott at second, no outs, top of the order. That’s a run.

[jj-cf-stl]

Winn got behind but kept competing.

[jj-cf-stl]

Helsley gets 2, 3, cleanup

[Jnevel]

Helps that they get Schwarber as their ghost.
