StL 2024 Game #12 thread – vs. Phillies, Tuesday, April 9

[PugsleyAddams]

A Scott fly ball to left enables Burleson to touch paydirt….2-0 Cards on Victor’s first career rbi…..I’d love to own that ball.

[PugsleyAddams]

3-0 on a Donovan slow roller up the 1st base line scoring Winn…..bases now empty.

Libby on back to back days?? He was throwing well last night, but not sure about coming right back with him.

[jj-cf-stl]

Yah, this lefty portion with Schwarber and Harper is where we need Libby

[bicyclemike]

Yeah, this looks bad. Libby was groomed as a starter. I don’t think you want to use him this way. He should be in long relief and a spot start now and then.

[PugsleyAddams]

Do you think there’s any way possible that Sonny could return tonight? I want Sonny……I want Sonny! If Libby blows Gray’s and the team’s win…..I’ll….I’ll……not much I can do other than call him a naughty name or two…..well let’s hope it doesn’t get to that.

[jj-cf-stl]

Got em’

[bicyclemike]

Whew – another double play really helps!

[PugsleyAddams]

A sweet little 4-6-3 twin killing and I’m loving Libby again.

Looks like the Steelers of the mid 70’s…Nice turn on the GIDP!

[jj-cf-stl]

When they come up again, we could see JoJo

[PugsleyAddams]

Great Steeler analogy, TD. Amazingly, I was just thinking the same thing.

[bicyclemike]

Kittredge – this is the guy I am not real big on. Weird delivery.

[PugsleyAddams]

Kitty needs to be purrrrfect here!

[bicyclemike]

Maybe I could learn to like this guy if he does that a lot!

[jj-cf-stl]

Ha!

[PugsleyAddams]

Cards go down with nary a whimper in the 6th. Wheeler now sitting at 86 pitches in a 3-0 St. Louis ballgame.

[jj-cf-stl]

Trea Turner has been my favorite SS for a long while. Fitting game for me to switch to Winn, for the long game.

[PugsleyAddams]

Nice switcheroo JJ!

[PugsleyAddams]

Kitty still prowling the mound here in the 7th…….and he strikes out the first man he faces. JJ has suddenly become quite smitten with Winn……and I may be having similar feelings towards Kitty.

[jj-cf-stl]

We need our righty slider guys to be good. Kitt topping that list would be ideal. The Hicks role needs passed on.

[bicyclemike]

Weird hit by Castellanos.

Now with JoJo coming in, I am not sure we have anyone else available? King and Fernandez? That is a scary thought.

[PugsleyAddams]

Terrible luck……2 measly infield hits off Kitty and he’ll exit this ballgame. Not your fault Kitty!…..not your fault whatsoever. Kitty will live to see another day……and maybe 8 more after that.

[PugsleyAddams]

Please BicycleMike……do NOT say the words “King” along with “coming in”.

[bicyclemike]

Ouch – need another double play here.
