StL 2024 Game #70 thread – Friday, June 14 at Cubs

Hendricks has plowed through 10 in a row. Perhaps a new strategy is in order. He’s allowing lots of soft contact.

[gscottar]

Hendricks is a Cardinal killer even though he has been terrible against everyone else this year.

[jj-cf-stl]

Snooze-fest vs a 9.00 era guy.

[Jnevel]

Fortunately, it’s been a snooze fest both directions.

[LACardFan]

He will probably lower his ERA by 3 full points today.

He’s only dropped it 0.87 pts so far today, but is only at 58 pitches…

[Jnevel]

Herrera and Carlson will deliver back-to-back homers. Then another inning for Gibson, one for Romero, and Helsley surrenders one in the 9th just to keep it extra close. 2-1 winners.

[Jnevel]

Oh. I seeHendricks is out. Scratch the previous prediction.

[1toughdominican]

This is the best turn I’ve seen from Gibson. Kyle, that is.

[Jnevel]

That’s probably it for Gibson. Although they may try for 1 more.

[1toughdominican]

Real nice work thru 7. Push some runs across and put this one in the W column where it belongs.

[Jnevel]

That a boy Pedro!!!!

[1toughdominican]

Haha…Pages puts one in the LF basket!

[KeepComingBack]

Pedro for president

I don’t like Fernandez here. He pitched quite a few pitches yesterday. And Wrigley will provide extra pressure for a rookie to hold the lead.

[Jnevel]

Huge strikeout of Amaya.

[1toughdominican]

My goodness…That was strike 3!

[Jnevel]

Oh. I thought so too

[1toughdominican]

Came back and got the out at HP after getting hosed on the ball/strike call!

[Jnevel]

Awesome! Got the lead runner!

[bicyclemike]

Big time play by Gorman!!! Still four outs to go though. This one far from over. The infielders all look happy, and rightly so to a point but gotta keep bearing down.

[KeepComingBack]

Win or lose, I’ve been wildly entertained today. GOF (good old fashioned) NL game.

[bicyclemike]

Seems like quite often those pitch com devices don’t work. My guess is they are not charged.

[bicyclemike]

Wow, I thought Wisdom had that one. I was like, “there goes the game.”

[Jnevel]

Wow. Terrible process. Good result.

[PadsFS]

I nearly choked on that Wisdom bomb! My goodness!

Gorman had an excellent snag and throw at 2B also. I think he has a permanent home there.
