Game 2, game on!
Birds made some noise, but leave 2 on base. Missed opp there.
Pagan goes yard. Oh those wasted baserunners already looking large now.
Carpenter is not sharp tonight, long inning and fortunate to only give up 1 run.
1-0 Gigantores
Yes!!!! Love it when a pitcher helps his own cause!
1-1 after Carpenter doubles in Kozma and the bottom of the orders produces again.
Carpenter much more settled that inning. Still lacks zip on the heater. On to the 3 rd. 1-1.
Yadi, you are killing me....
1-1 still
Defense playing well behind Carpenter. Still 1-1 going to 4.
Gotta quit wasting base runners.
Bats are getting sleepy. Me too. Hazards of being in a motel room in Hopkinsville Ky...:/
1-1. These kinds of games don't favor the birds on the bat...
Wow. Matheny stayed with a bad situation there. Ughhhhh. Larussa like there...again.
5-1 Giants.
It's rally squirrel time...
Wasted a double by Beltran. 5-1 big guys.
Living on the edge that inning....
Still 5-1 somehow.
Still 5-1. Vogelsong has top shelf stuff tonight.
5-1 to the stretch. We've got nothing for Vogelsong. Maybe the bullpen will serve up some hitable balls.
8th is a Redbird disaster. Poor call on the throw in from Jay, David Freese lets a pop
Up land fair, utility infielder singles in 2 runs.
7-1, still only 1 out.
7-1 on the short end. Stole one from them. Need to hold serve at home now.
Wednesday afternoon in Busch.
one thing about the Cards, their offense is either really good or really bad, tonight was bad.
Vogelsong had good stuff last night. Really handcuffed the right handed bats. We wasted baserunners last night too. Gotta hold serve at home now.
Work is messing with my playoff basesball
Game 3, 2-1 Redbirds in the Bottom of the 6th.
2-1, headed to the stretch.
Bases are full of birds, fielders choice for Robinson and a run scores. 3-1 and rain is getting harder by the minute.
Rain delay and severe weather in the area now.
Still in rain delay...
Back to play after 3 hrs of rain delay. On to the 8th, 3-1 Birds on the bat.
A very hypothetical question for Cardinal fans,
Would you trade Molina for Posey straight up?
Ball game.
Nope,Yadi is the glue that holds the Redbirds together.
I'm relying on the catcher in the group for that question. Lot of value to a catcher beyond offensive numbers; even beyond defensive performance, Molina's ability to work with the staff is phenomenal. We have certainly had better bullpen pitching than I ever imagined, and the starting pitching, while somewhat hit or miss, has been more than adequate. A large part of that is probably Molina.
Matheny stated he's never questioned one of Yadi's calls behind the plate this season, not one.
Matheny was a good catcher too, knows of what he speaks.
Game on! Which Wainright will be on the mound tonight?
2-0 Redbirds after 1.
Giants get a dinger, 2-1 after 2.
2-1 after 3. Yadi needed and extra biscuit at breakfast and he would have cleared the fence :/
2-1 after 4.
Yadi finally gets an RBI. 4-1 Redbirds after 5.
TImely hitting by the bottom of the order & John Jay. 6-1 Redbirds going to 7.
