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

[PugsleyAddams]

Unless we score an additional 6 runs, Kloff better not come within 20 yards of that pitching rubber.

[Jnevel]

He is in Pugs.

[blingboy]

The people in the booth completely forgot there is a baseball game going on.

[Jnevel]

I think it’s only Kloff and JoJo available. Assuming Helsley still down.

[Jnevel]

The one thing about Kloffenstein is he’s a very composed guy. He doesn’t ever rattle. Even when he’s struggling.

[bicyclemike]

Kloff gets ‘er done, and makes it look pretty easy.

[PugsleyAddams]

Kloff is the man! No way he’s being shipped back tomorrow after that impressive performance. Press our luck and trot him right back out there in the 9th? Like they say ” never get off a winning horse”.

[Jnevel]

This has been our team MO. Get the lead. Give up runs to make it super close. Try to hold on without scoring. Again and again. We only ever score again if the other team scores.

[bicyclemike]

Should have been Carp up there against that side wheeling righty. May not have done anything, but sometimes Marmol micro-manages.

[bicyclemike]

Helsley on to try to close the deal. Jeez – lead off walk.

[Jnevel]

Of course he walks the first guy

[AlbertTheMachine]

An OF of Scott, Siani, Carlson. That is some good defense patrolling the green

[bicyclemike]

Helsley needs to pitch wisely to Wisely.

[Jnevel]

Early on in the season Helsley was striking out everyone. Now it’s like 1 strikeout for every 5 batters.

[bicyclemike]

Helsley not real sharp. Maybe too much down time.

But he finds it against Ramos. Come on, one more!

[PugsleyAddams]

Helsley has been creating way too much drama of late.

[Jnevel]

And there is the K.

[bicyclemike]

Man, oh and two and then he works it to a bad hit. Tying run at second.

[Jnevel]

Ballgame. Nice win.

[bicyclemike]

Whew. How many of these one-run games are we gonna play??

[PugsleyAddams]

Whew!

[1toughdominican]

Well, back to even before returning home.

[AlbertTheMachine]

Glad to see Kloffenstein pitch well in his inning in a close game. Hopefully he can stick with the team for a little bit.

[bicyclemike]

Super cool event. Enjoyed this a lot. A tense game was better for the fans, but us Cardinal fans have had a few too many of them.

[1toughdominican]

They’ve now played in 24 one run games in which they’re 13-11. They’re 3-5 in extras.
