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

[Jnevel]

A lot of great defense today that is saving us. This has been fun.

Haha!…”You don’t need a weatherman to tell which way the wind blows”…

[jj-cf-stl]

Nado has been running the bases hard

[1toughdominican]

Nice…Lead-off double for Arenado. Need to somehow push him across.

[Jnevel]

This pitcher Brewer has some nasty stuff

[Jnevel]

Yes! Just gets through! 2-0

[bicyclemike]

Let’s hope Helsley is on his game. Good base running by Arenado. Whoa, surprised the Cubs cut that one off.

[1toughdominican]

A scorching double from Herrera pushes another run across…

[jj-cf-stl]

Our righty bats have brought the impact.

[1toughdominican]

Memo…Just come in and throw strikes!

[Jnevel]

A nice hit by Carlson makes it 3-0. Good try to try to get the extra base, but the Cubs barely gun him down.

Let’s save this one and keep the perfect performance against the Cubbies this year intact.

[Jnevel]

Good advice 1TD. Please no walks.

[Jnevel]

The borderline pitches have generally been going our way today.

[mudville]

So far Helsley is taking care of business.

[Jnevel]

In really important analysis, Carlson is now dominating over Siani in OPS . . . .511 to .510.

[1toughdominican]

I don’t know, J, that 1-2 pitch from Fernandez that was called a ball could have been a game changer.

[jj-cf-stl]

Carlson still producing. Nice week.

[Jnevel]

Uhhh . . . Ryan???

[bicyclemike]

We had a bit of a hail scare so I had to run out and cover the tomatoes. I come back and see Helsley got two quick outs. I come in and he can’t throw a strike. I better leave again.

[1toughdominican]

It’s never easy.

[1toughdominican]

Nice way to attain sea level…3-0 Cardinals!

[Ratsbuddy]

3-0 St. Louis your happy final!

Great to get a win in the opener. Never easy for the Cards to win at Wrigley. And yes, I remember late 2019.

[Jnevel]

That was a great game in so many ways for the Cardinals.

[bicyclemike]

Whew – well I stayed. Big win as we will get clobbered tomorrow with Pallante going against their phenom. Hope Mikolas can bring home a winner on Dad’s Day.

[bicyclemike]

Dare I say this, but Pages reminds me a little of a young Molina. The thing with Yadi was that he did not need to hit early in his career as we had the MV3.
