Good point, Rat. Even in Little League we were coached to always hit the cutoff man. And the cutoff man needs to be in position too. It seems even major leaguers don’t practice this basic skill. Many think they have stronger arms than they actually do, and others seem not to be aware of the play that’s developing on the field. Trying to throw home from the outfield when a runner is approaching second base is usually foolish, but seems to happen all the time for example. Would be interesting to hear the coaching staff talk about how (or if?) they practice relay throws from the outfield.
Looked like a t-ball game around third base. Plan to lose is a good description for Sunday lineups. That said, Noot just jacks that ball over the bullpen. Finally on the board and perfect game gone.
What a fun game to watch with a tumbler of Kentucky’s finest double-oaked bourbon. Mellowed my mood to where I actually felt sorry for Refsnyder as he chased his missed ball to the wall, but good for us! Now need to keep the momentum up for CHC and CIN. We’ll see how long this lasts and if Oli and Mo were right about patience.
Well, off to a good start after last night. This 3 game set may not live up to the glory of the ‘67 WS, but it’s fun to watch so far. No Bob Gibson or Jim Lonborg on either team for sure. Was glad to see our old man TO have no impact on the outcome. Reminds me of when he was with us.
Something tells me there will be a lot of hits today. Crawford is no ace, his current ERA belies his career W-L record of 11-17. I think he’s due a spanking. Just hope Mikolas can keep it to the low single digits.
Yep, all for nothing. Again. Sorry but I put the blame squarely on Goldschmidt’s and Arenado’s shoulders. 1-5 and 0-5 just doesn’t cut it for the situation the team is in and their level of experience. You’ve got to get the ball to the outfield as a minimum with RISP. If you’re in a slump, figure it out or go home. Neither of them has figured it out.
Good golly. Right now it looks like this team has zero chance of turning this around. Arenado and Goldschmidt are horrendous at the plate, and this team’s not going anywhere without them. Last year I was against trading them, but now they need to go by the deadline to start shoring up some younger talent for future years.
So glad we took that one despite Flaherty’s best outing. Gibson pitched a magnificent game too with Helsley bringing it home. I hope we get the good Matz tonight!
Yes, numbers might be misleading. But looks like Jack’s Achilles heel is 1.5 HRs per 9 innings with a WHIP over 1.0. He’s struck out 6 straight so far today. Ughhh!
Poor Jack F. Four teams in two years and sitting at .491 ERA, his lowest ERA so far of any non-Cardinals teams. While I don’t wish ill of him, I do hope we help raise his ERA above .500 today.
Apple TV decides around 2 weeks in advance which Friday night game it is going to broadcast. So there may be more to come.
Jnevel- thanks for that. All the more reason to avoid that subscription!
We’ll, the good news is this should be the last Apple TV+ broadcast for the season according to the published broadcast schedule at Cardinals.com. The rest are 95% Bally Sports with a few Fox and ESPNs thrown in.
