StL 2024 Game #111 thread – Friday, August 2 at Cubs

[blingboy]

OK, Arenado with sacks jammed. This is what bronze busts are for.

[PugsleyAddams]

Never a good thing when the opposing pitcher logs 75 pitches in the first 3 innings……….and you only have 1 run to show for it

[Jnevel]

To try to pull outside pitches thrown out of the zone with loaded bases? That’s what they’re here for?

[PugsleyAddams]

Fedde’s looks resemble a cross between Timothy Bottoms of “Field of Dreams” fame and Danny Most of “Happy Days”.

[Jnevel]

73 pitches in. 4 have been swinging strikes. Well, 5 if you count a foul tip. That’s the issue. That and the fact that Wrigley has those stupid baskets.

[PugsleyAddams]

Ok, we need to hit the cubbies with 2 runs here in the 4th……3 would be nice, but 2 will do for now.

[PugsleyAddams]

Lars needs to do better.

[Jnevel]

Fedde positions himself to come back out for the 5th with an efficient 4th. Assad likely done after 4.

[jj-cf-stl]

Well, not what I wanted to see. Just got back from the range. Grandson & I put 450 rounds downrange. Appears I didn’t miss much.

[Wooster2]

Well Pugs long time no hear.Just tuned in to see us 3 runs down.Caught the last 3 innings of last nights Helsley meltdown. On Ntl TV no less. Cubs acting like they just won the World Series. Probably would have been better to pull Helsley. Lot of wild pitches and couldn’t hit the bottom of the zone. Regardless lackluster performance today is no way to respond.

[blingboy]

Yeah I was so disappointed with the bronze paperweights with the sacks jammed I took the dog for a walk. That is exactly where the middle of the order needs pop open a can of thumpage.

[Wooster2]

Gotta hit the gaps- hit it where they ain’t!

[Wooster2]

You know Mason Winn was impressive last night- hes fast and hits the ball hard. Looks like he could be really good.

[blingboy]

So, we traded for another 5 inning start guy.

[Wooster2]

Yeah Bling I had never heard of him before guys he got pulled when a fulfilled his era. Armstrong from the Rays had a good inning.

[jj-cf-stl]

Fedde was acquired on a small numbers success sample. We play a lot this month. We’ll see.

[858booyah]

You know what the difference is between us and the Cubs?

Answer: Not Much

[blingboy]

The biggest difference I see is they have 5 runs and we only have 1.

[Wooster2]

Cubs don’t want to live dangerous like us.Walked in a run and pulled their pitcher.C’mon man!

[blingboy]

This is pathetic. Maybe they will hand us enough runs to win, we don’t seem interested in actually hitting with RISP.

[Ratsbuddy]

This team just can’t score runs. I keep asking over and over – IS THE HITTING COACH THE PROBLEM?????

Or are the players we have just not worth a sh~t?????

[1toughdominican]

Five walks in the inning including two RBI bases jammed BB’s. A team that swings the bat scores 8 or 9 runs.

[Wooster2]

Pfffft…

[gscottar]

This series is shaping up to be about as enjoyable as a root canal. I see a lot of yardowrk in my future this weekend.

[1toughdominican]

Back to 2 games over even. This team just can’t break through.
