StL 2024 Game #46 thread – Saturday, May 18 vs. Red Sox

No Albert, I haven’t heard anything about Edman. I’m beginning to think he may be involved in some sort of covert operation…

[jj-cf-stl]

And Miles loses his no-hitter 🙂
1-1

[PugsleyAddams]

There goes the Mikolas no-no. Devers a 4th inning solo shot to tie matters up at 1.

[AlbertTheMachine]

Devers is a great hitter, but they should really be playing him at 1B

[PugsleyAddams]

Great minds think alike, JJ.

[AlbertTheMachine]

I don’t know if Siani the Raider’s has a connection to our Siani. Siani does have a brother Sammy in Pittsburgh org though

[jj-cf-stl]

I’ll take your word for it Pugs🙃

[PugsleyAddams]

Yeah I was thinking they almost had to be with “Siani” being a rare last name and both being so fleet footed and professionally athletic, Albert.

😁 JJ

[PugsleyAddams]

Cards go 1-2-3 in the 4th in a 1-1 ballgame.

[AlbertTheMachine]

Really good play by Winn

[jj-cf-stl]

There’s some team D. The Winn play saved a run.

[PugsleyAddams]

Arenado is hot tonight…..in the field. Boston strands a runner at 3rd in the 5th….still 1-1.

[1toughdominican]

I just looked it up and, according to my source, Cardinal OF’er Michael Siani is indeed a distant relative of former Oakland Raider wideout, Mike Siani. I also saw that Siani finished runner up to Franco Harris for the ’72 NFL ROY. He was also selected out of HS by 3 MLB teams, the Dodgers, Yankees and Rangers, but never signed and instead chose to attend Villanova and play football.

At the start of his PA in the 5th, Siani is out hitting (BA .230) 4 of the other 8 in the lineup.

edit. And with a walk he still is.

[PugsleyAddams]

Siani walks to commence the Redbird 5th…..let’s stay with the action shall we?

Siani is nailed attempting to swipe 2nd base.

Donovan – Grounds out to Devers at 3rd on a bang-bang play at 1st.

Nooty – Strikes out swinging.

Cards 1
BoSox 1

[PugsleyAddams]

Great investigative work with the Siani’s, TD! You could have been a private eye……a public eye too. I figured they just had to be related. It would have been a tremendous coincidence if not.

[1toughdominican]

He’s also scored 12 runs which is pretty good for only 74 AB’s.

[AlbertTheMachine]

Mikolas probably had his best game tonight and I’m surprised to see King out there for the 6th with Mikolas only at 79 pitches

[PugsleyAddams]

John King pitching for St. Louis in the 6th.

Nice work by John as he has no 6th inning difficulties whatsoever.

[LACardFan]

You guys realize we aren’t scoring runs because you aren’t eating catfish, right?

[PugsleyAddams]

Ha ha! You might be on to something, LACardFan. But I’m all fiddled out, as I devoured them all last night. Hey LACardFan…….would I be wrong in thinking you might want to join our Friday Night Catfish Fiddler Fan Club?
I still like my idea for starting a new restaurant featuring Catfish Fiddlers. With a huge outside dining area up on the 2nd floor, with a southern Fiddle player treating the patrons……and we’d call the restaurant “Fiddlers On The Roof”.

[AlbertTheMachine]

Burly with a bunt hit. Didn’t think I would see that ever. Very fitting since he rocketed the 2st two ABs balls right toward fielders

[blingboy]

Pugs, speaking of the club, I am afraid I misspoke. It was not catfish fillets I had but merely catfish nuggets. I should probably take a seat next to Carlson.

[PugsleyAddams]

Appreciate your honesty, Bling, but considering your vast baseball knowledge and likeability, either Catfish filets or nuggets gets you in…..you made the cut, Bling…..congrats!

[blingboy]

Burly had tried for bunt hit once before that I remember. It was unsuccessful and I believe all the comments concerning it were negative. I do applaud the strategy of not letting the infielders play way out there and be able to cut everything off.
