StL 2024 Game #91 thread – Sunday, July 7 at Nationals

Arenado used to mash lefties.

I thought we had it bad, but after a double steal by Burleson and Contreras it’s nice see that other teams are feeling some pain from the running game.

[jj-cf-stl]

risp success is a welcome sight

[1toughdominican]

Big 2 out 2 RBI base hit from Arenado. He needed that.

[AlbertTheMachine]

1TD, the new rules are really helping the running game. Success rates are higher all across the league from where they were 2 years ago.

[PugsleyAddams]

I’m a firm believer that the A-kicking we endured yesterday was just the thing our offense needed to get kickstarted into high gear. 6-2 Birds as we mossy along to the bottom of the 5th.

[1toughdominican]

I believe it, Albert. Rickey would pilfer 250.

[jj-cf-stl]

Yesterdays 6 runs got washed away quietly

[jj-cf-stl]

Kyle, 83 pitches after 5 IP

[AlbertTheMachine]

I cannot stand watching Burly in the OF. A decent OF has that all day.

[AlbertTheMachine]

He just looked like he was in quicksand running toward the ball

[Jnevel]

It may not have been routine, but yes, an outfielder with average speed gets to that ball.

[PugsleyAddams]

Our ole’ pal, Juan Yepez, raps into the Cardinal friendly 6-4-3 DP……6-3 Cards as we move along to the 7th.

[Jnevel]

Carlson has had a few plays that Siani might have made and now Burleson has one that all of our other outfielders, infielders, and players not named Pagés or Lynn would have made.

[jj-cf-stl]

6-4-3 ✅
6-3 ✅

Well done Fernandez (9 pitches)

[AlbertTheMachine]

At least Burly helped get that run back by getting in base for a 2 run Contreras dinger!

[1toughdominican]

Contreras mashes the 2 run tater! JJ called that one.

[PugsleyAddams]

Contreras throttles a 2-run jack to left and just like that this game is taking on all the face of a true blue laugher…8-3 Good Guys.

[AlbertTheMachine]

Also worth calling out Fernandez did a great job getting out of that with no runners scoring

[PugsleyAddams]

Arenado is turning into quite the singles hitter……and as long as they are plentiful, I don’t mind.

[1toughdominican]

Arenado’s looking like he just might get untracked.

[PugsleyAddams]

Boy and I thought Pittsburgh had a bunch of empty seats…..this joint takes the cake in the seat vacancy department.

[jj-cf-stl]

Off topic: here’s another start that highlights for me, the importance of Andre Pallante starts.

Back to your regularly scheduled programming…..

[jj-cf-stl]

Carlson gets that 👀

[PugsleyAddams]

A rare thing where a ball hits Siani’s glove, but doesn’t stay in it. Not his fault though as that’s a 2 out base hit.
