GDT : Cards @ Phillies (5/14) ~ Game 1 ~ 12:05pm CDT

[Red7]

Just a terrible AB by Arenado. Up 2-0, there’s absolutely no reason to go reaching. As a veteran hitter, he should know better. When your highest paid player, your cleanup hitter, gives away key AB’s, you’re not going to win many games.

what a waste.....Walker is having arguably his best game of his career with a 1 for 3 day, and we're wasting it.

LOL that one made me spit out water

Nolan is such an overrated P[ositively] O[bnoxious] S[impleton].

So sick of this guy batting cleanup. It needs to end. Now. 4 HRs and 16 RBIs. Contreras at cleanup. Or Herrera.

And Donovan his last 15 games: .200/.313/.255. That ain't cutting it in the 3 hole, either.

Ray FINALLY calls a close one a strike

nice homecoming showing for you Gordon!!!

Nova and Philly are proud of you!!

Difference in the game right now is that lucky 'bloop' Texas leaguer by Harper . Dang ! Rather be lucky than good they say.

Well, luck was on Fedde's side a lot earlier in the game. Several rockets for outs.

Okay boys

Winning streak on the line

C'mon Crazy Ivan crank one to the Liberty Bell!

or....failing to put the ball in play in a meaningful way with 2 RISP and 1 out.....we got a pop out to Harper and a Looking K.

that's the difference

Like Harper , Nado put his pop up in play too. Harper's just fell between two fielders. lol

Man it would look a lot better if contreras or herrera were up right now. Having said that arenado will definitely come through now

Contreras or herrera strike out more. Of course that pop-out is just as bad as a k

Herera has just two fewer RBI than Areando in 100 fewer at bats give me a guy batting clean up that actually drives in runs contreras has more RBI even with his awful start give me production

To be fair, arenado was hitting over. 320 with risp. But he didnt get it done here. Bad at bat.

And yet he only has 16 RBI. Because he has terrible power for a cleanup hitter. With RISP he has 3 doubles and 0 HR. He now has a .395 SLG% with RISP, even with that .316 average with RISP.

[craviduce]

Corky's brother has a god awful ERA....we "Should Crush" this guy and take the lead.... "Should"



Go Cards!!!

[craviduce]

Norman on deck to face this Stout RHP ....that's BIG RESPECT to Burleson....BIG RESPECT

To be fair, he has 16 f'ing RBIs more than a quarter of the way into the season! He's not getting runs home.

[Ozziesfan41]

Romano is terrible they need to blow him up and win this game

[rockondlouie]

Ivan KO

C'mon Norman, walk into one

[craviduce]

sigh....we're toast

I was surprised its gorman and not burly but i guess hes hoping for a home run to tie it which Burly isnt likely to do or he was going to pinch hit for walker with burly
