Double Carp, single Bader. Walk Wong, Double Goldy. That’s all. That was enough.
The Cubs may be 4.5 back by the end of the day. 8-3 after 7.5.
Brewers take a 5-1 lead, as we take a 4-1 lead. They got a Grandal HR.
This could be a big night for the Cards.
Thanks to Yelich, the Brewers take a 3-0 lead in the third on his HR. But, they aren’t done yet. 4-1 after three.
Edman hits another HR!!!! 3-1.
Even the one run against Wainwright was not against him. A reliever. The Card starters have not allowed a run in this series. Through six.
Repeat: Card starters have not allowed a run in this series, through six.
3-1, 1-0, 8-9, 8-0. They only score more than one run when we play bullpen games? They didn’t score off of the starter last night either. Need to get rid of some bullpen folks.
Carp gets another hit? 221 now? Finally, Hudson gets a bunt down, with an eight-run lead. lol. Need to have him bunting every day.
too bad the Giants got the overturn. Three times tonight, Wong has moved a runner to third. Goldy has been good with it tonight so far. Ouch.
We have done everything wrong tonight, and we have the lead. That is why you always want to advance the runners. Now that we have the lead, are we going to use legitimate pitchers and get the win?
Nice to have Ozuna come up with a big one. Our first three hits didn’t leave the infield. We aren’t hitting well. Good day for Flaherty.
Our best hope now is that Chicago has 14 road games for which they have been 28-39 and only eleven home games for which they are 46-24. History would suggest that they will finish with 33.85 road wins and 53.23 home wins for a 87.08–74.92 record. The Cards should be win 51.65 at home, and 39.31 on the road for a 90.96–71.04 record Of course, this does not consider who each team plays. I’m not thrilled to go to Arizona for 3 and Colorado for 3 (or hosting Washington for 3 for that matter). It isn’t going to be as easy as it looks. I do like that the Cubs have to go to Milwaukee and San Diego for four each.
If you are going to move or expand, I would look first at:
1. El Paso–Juarez
2. Mexico City
3. Havana
4. San Antonio—AustinI don’t remember Montreal as having worked out well. Canada, especially Montreal, would need a domed stadium for cold and rain.
Havana and Mexico City are large enough to support a franchise, as well as being sports crazy. Juarez and El Paso operate like they were one city of over 2 million. San Antonio is large enough, and they have supported basketball. I don’t know that Austin would be a fit, but it might provide a draw, as would Corpus Christi.
Goldschmidt and DeJong come alive.
Since the All-Star break, Wong is 51 of 130 for 392. Has 19 RBIs in that stretch.
Finally, Goldy finds a way to get Wong in from third after a triple! Wong tripled twice against Cincy in the two DHs, and scored zero runs.
Wong is 3 of 4. The next 3 hitters are 0 for 11 with 8 Ks. Enough of Carp? DeJong needs a day off. O’Neil hasn’t hit since early.
This concerns me since Ponce de Leon has walked eight in the last 9 innings, leading to ten runs. Control seems to have become an issue. Recent.
