StL 2024 Game #76 thread – Thursday, June 20 vs. Giants at Birmingham

[bicyclemike]

Nice bender from Pallante to get Ahmed. Is that the so-called “death ball”?

[jj-cf-stl]

Smoked that rightie on a breaking pitch.

[jj-cf-stl]

There it is, the Achilles heel.
3-3

[bicyclemike]

Tie game. How far is that right field fence? Didn’t look like he hit it all that well.

[PugsleyAddams]

He(Pallante) was doing so well…..shucks.

[jj-cf-stl]

They showed 330’s at the poles; 370’s in the gaps and 400+ deep center.

[bicyclemike]

Pallante losing it here in the third. Not as sharp as in the first two frames….but finishes strong.

[bicyclemike]

“They showed 330’s at the poles; 370’s in the gaps and 400+ deep center.”

Decent dimensions.

[jj-cf-stl]

Andre battled well after.

Single, single, mistake was expensive.

[bicyclemike]

Looked like Winn said, “Was that one over?” And the ump said no, and he goes “Damn” – with a smile. 😀

[jj-cf-stl]

Yep, I was expecting smaller.

[PugsleyAddams]

Winn just missed that homer by a whisker.

[bicyclemike]

Reggie seems a lot more humble as an older man than in his playing days. Remember the “straw that stirs the drink” and all that?

[PugsleyAddams]

Come on Goldy!

You’re right, BicycleMike…..Reggie has mellowed in his golden years…..where most others get cranky in their advancing years.

[bicyclemike]

I get the sense that Gorman will hit one out tonight.

Winn really makes this team go.

[jj-cf-stl]

Pair of sac fly RBI for Gorman. Both oppo gap.

Donny thinks it’s his home park.

[1toughdominican]

The dimensions in this veune are certainly not those of a bandbox, but the HR’s seem to travel a long way as a result of the lack of OF seating. Especially to RF. That tater Donovan hit looked like the Bambino walked into one.

[jj-cf-stl]

Righty double.
Bust some bats Andre!

[1toughdominican]

Yeah, Reggie was a firebrand in his playing days. Especially with the Yankees. I remember watching the nationally televised Yankees/Red Sox Game of the Week on NBC in which Billy Martin went after Reggie in the Yankee’s dugout after Martin had benched Reggie in the middle of an inning for dogging it on a fly ball to RF. It was really a spectacle…Haha!

[jj-cf-stl]

Pitch around sets up 2…..

[1toughdominican]

I think Bikemike predicted a 12-11 final. It’s developing into just that kind of game.

[jj-cf-stl]

Got the DP! good fielding Pallante.

[Jnevel]

That really was a nice play by Pallante. He’s very athletic.

[1toughdominican]

Crawford drops his watch out at 2B.

[blingboy]

Crawford with a TOOTBLAN.
