[jj-cf-stl]

Arenado up.

[jj-cf-stl]

Arenado K
Contreras single, on base twice now.
Noot is back!
2 run shot into the night!

6-0

[PugsleyAddams]

Nootster with a 2 run bomb to right….6-0 Good Guys.

[Jnevel]

6-0 Cards. Do note that I called that the offense was going to strike in this series earlier in this thread. 7.5 runs per game. We are off to a good start.

[PugsleyAddams]

No problem…..keep up with the PBP as you’re doing great, JJ……matter of fact a bit too great, as you’re apt to put me out of a job.

Sweet call, Jnevel!

[jj-cf-stl]

Just keep managing the game Matz, you don’t have to be perfect, just efficient.

[jj-cf-stl]

Newman up, #9 spot, singles to start the bottom third.
Top of the order, 2nd time thru.
Popup, 1 down.

[jj-cf-stl]

Carol singles, and Walker makes a legit difficult play in RF to turn the DP. Well done.

Top of fourth, Scott up

[PugsleyAddams]

Sweet DP to extinguish the D-Back threat in the bottom if the 3rd. Am I seeing things…….or is Walker starting to play a much more confident right field?

[jj-cf-stl]

Warning track flyout, one down
Top of the order for the third time (in just the fourth inning)

[jj-cf-stl]

Donovan single washed away by a Golden DP.
Bottom 4th, cleanup batter Walker due up

[PugsleyAddams]

Victor Scott putting a little warning track power on display tonight. Doubled to left in the 2nd on a ball over the left fielders head and now here in the 4th a fly to right which was caught. They may have to start playing him a bit deeper which will really start opening things up for Victor.

[jj-cf-stl]

Groundout
Suarez singles

Matz was at 40 pitches to start the fourth.

[PugsleyAddams]

They are starting to put some decent wood on the bat vs Matz. Still 6-0 Birds, but that lead can evaporate in the blink of an eye if we’re not careful.

[jj-cf-stl]

DP, 1-4-3, end of fourth
6-0 Stl

Gorman due up

[PugsleyAddams]

Oh beautiful! Yet another inning ending twin killing….this one of the 1-4-3 variety.

[jj-cf-stl]

Matz has 7, 8 & 9 scheduled up for the bottom 5th. Low pitch count

[PugsleyAddams]

Good to see the boys hustling down that 1st baseline.

[jj-cf-stl]

3 up, 3 down for us

Bottom 5th, 6-0

[jj-cf-stl]

Matz starts the inning at 54 pitches

#7 flyout
#8 Matz panics and can’t field a squibber.
#9 RBI double
6-1

[jj-cf-stl]

Clear the mechanism

[jj-cf-stl]

Leadoff Marte up, man on 2nd, singles
6-2
Groundout, 2 down, we think

[PugsleyAddams]

Big possible run out there on 2nd base for AZ with 2 outs here in the 5th in a 6-2 St. Louis ballgame.
