StL 2024 Gm #93 thread – Tue, 7/9 vs. KC – ppd to Wed 7/10 G1

[blingboy]

We need more than 3 hits.

[PugsleyAddams]

Yea but you have charm Pugs.

Well I had Lucky Charms for breakfast if that counts for anything, KeepComingBack. Great one with Moustaucas, stlcard25. Any other baseball Mooses?

[PugsleyAddams]

Roycroft does the job in the top of the 7th, but now the offense needs to kick it into gear. We cannot lose this one after leading earlier 3-0.

[PugsleyAddams]

Will Smith sets us down in order in the 7th. Still 4-3 Royals. They have 6 hits….a homer and a gob of doubles and we have only 3 hits…..2 of them homers.

[PugsleyAddams]

We’re in trouble now as Kansas City leads off the 8th with consecutive singles off Roycroft, placing runners at the corners and then a sac fly to left plates KC run #5.

[1toughdominican]

Getting out of hand.

[PugsleyAddams]

Now Moose Perez singles in another making it 6-3. Game not over yet as we get 2 more cracks at these guys…..they better be quality cracks though.

[PugsleyAddams]

Sam Long on to pitch the 8th…..let’s hope it’s a long half inning.

[PugsleyAddams]

Pedro Pages raps a one out base hit to left that hopefully will inspire grandiose happenings. Then Winn pops out meekly to 3rd after having a ridiculously high pitch being called strike 2. Up to Rat and Bling’s boy…..Burly.

With Marshs’ reverse splits, they’ve thrown lefties at us all game. The book is out.

[1toughdominican]

Gio with the spotless inning. Go figure.

[PugsleyAddams]

Goldy clanks an opposite field homer off the foul pole in right…..wait….it landed just inside the pole….any way it’s a homer making it 6-4 KC…..not over yet.

[jj-cf-stl]

Atta-boy Nado

[PugsleyAddams]

Arenado with a 2 out base hit to left. Tying run on for Nooty…..oh for a long one here.

[PugsleyAddams]

Would love to “park” one off “McArthur” here.

[jj-cf-stl]

Give up 6, odds aren’t good.
Need a split.

[PugsleyAddams]

Nooty flies out…..6-4 your unhappy final in Game 1.

[1toughdominican]

Well, the sunny side is we another game and a chance to break even for the day. A Cardinal pitcher with a career 4.1 IP’ed gets matched up with a former Cardinal pitcher who’s worked almost 1400 IP’ed in his career. Should be interesting.

[jj-cf-stl]

101 pitches by Andre. I liked how Oil stayed with him. Sometimes you pay for balls in play.

[blingboy]

Obviously we can win without Siani.

[KeepComingBack]

Royals have 2 players you need to keep from beating you——-

[gscottar]

Frustrating loss after having a 3-0 lead. We really need to avoid the sweep….(Captain Obvious)

[1toughdominican]

Pallante gave them a chance. He just couldn’t make a pitch or two when needed to escape trouble in that 5th inning. Royals tacked on a couple in the 8th and those two runs proved to be enough.

[1toughdominican]

The Royals are a good team. And like KCB mentioned, they have a couple of outstanding players that are up to the task at any time and any situation.

[jj-cf-stl]

Very balanced handedness splits too.
.710 and .711 ops, as a roster.
