2 hits. 0 runs. There’s no sugarcoating that. Ouch.
On to Pittsburgh who has lost 8 straight and are 20 games under .500. We should get well there.
Go Cards.
Goldschmidt showing the young speedster O’Neill how to score from second on a base hit!
2-2 top of 7th. Go Cards.
Nice job by O’Neill beating out that dribbler to short to produce an RBI. Made up for his failure to score from second earlier on that Wieters hit. Call it even.
Lane Thomas seems like a great kid. I pull for him. But I just don’t see it.
Man we need to pull this one out somehow. Only one run down, but it feels like more.
O’Neill can motor, but he can’t read a Texas league single off the bat. He should’ve scored from second on that hit by Wieters.
I’ve praised Bull’s moves all year long, but I’m going to criticize him for pulling KK after the 7th. He was only at 87 pitches, and he mowed them down in the 7th on only 6 pitches.
I understand he’s coming off the IL, on blood thinners, etc. But, to me, it’s hard to argue you took him out due to his pitch count when he could’ve had to throw another 15 pitches in the 7th. Are you telling me that you were going to pull him in the 7th if he’d had to throw more than 6 pitches? I don’t think so.
Bull overthought that one. And it hurt.
Now we get Ponce. Yikes.
Oh well. Go Cards.
Starting outfield hitting in the 7, 8, and 9 holes again. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a playoff level team do that. Very unorthodox. Hopefully we can make it work.
