StL 2024 Game #86 thread – Tuesday, July 2 at Pirates

[CariocaCardinal]

Of the 14 teams that have their bench hitting stats up so far tonight the Cardinals are the only team with all players below .200. Cinci has one above .200 and the other 12 have 2 or more.

I like those Pirate’s home uniforms. You can’t hardly go wrong with the black and gold. I always liked the Steelers uniforms too.

[1toughdominican]

That’s what I’m talking about…Burleson flexing the muscle with the no doubter 2 run tater!

[jj-cf-stl]

There’s a crooked number!

[jj-cf-stl]

And another. Lefties thumping.

[AlbertTheMachine]

Just tuned in to see Burly and Gorman with HRs. Hopefully that grand slam gets Gorman’s confidence up.

[1toughdominican]

Gorman simply stuck his bat out and went oppo to the deepest part of the OF for the GS tater. On the off chance he makes contact, his bat generates a different sort of power that’s rarely seen.

[KeepComingBack]

Home runs are good. Our first grand salami of the season.

[jj-cf-stl]

Gibsons club option for next season, is looking club friendly, to date.

[Jnevel]

What a performance thus far by Gibson! Pirates helping him some by swinging at pitches headed outside. He’s piling up the strikeouts. A 6 run lead is an extreme rarity this season.

[1toughdominican]

With the GS Gorman ties for the team lead in RBI’s as he’s pushed 41 across despite a .190 BA…Haha! Hook that up with his 110 K’s and that’s an odd trio.

[jj-cf-stl]

Figures. Compliment turns into a 3run jack.

[1toughdominican]

It’s never easy.

[1toughdominican]

After the GS Chip said the game was “blown wide open.” No baseball game has ever been blown wide open in the 4th…

[jj-cf-stl]

Drive in four, give up four.

[jj-cf-stl]

The positive is Gibson went 5 IP. Four strong IP and evidently ran out of gas. With his recent short starts that likely played in, but there’s 5 to build off.

His early K results were very good.

[1toughdominican]

It’s a shame to have to give it to the BP after 79 pitches, but it was time.

[jj-cf-stl]

7-3 homestand. That was enjoyable, still!

[1toughdominican]

He’s getting fancy now and hands it to Fernandez.

[1toughdominican]

That’s a feel good run right there.

[jj-cf-stl]

Pair of doubles from a righty bat is a good game. Lefty drives him in.

[1toughdominican]

Winn slaps it to the other side as good as any Cardinal I’ve seen in a while. Renteria?

[jj-cf-stl]

7-4 stl, mid eigth

[jj-cf-stl]

Yadi too.
Alberts’s target line was R-CF 👀

[1toughdominican]

Yeah, Molina placed it into RF as good as anyone. Albert never slapped anything. His oppos were missles either over or off the RF wall…Haha!
