It wasn't PCA, it was the LF. With 2 outs, I'm fine with it. Nothing I'm going to lose sleep over.boulanger wrote: ↑08 Aug 2025 20:56 pmbut there was no way Crowe-armstrong was going to throw out Hampson. unnecessary for contreras to go for 2nd base.cardinalsfever44 wrote: ↑08 Aug 2025 20:54 pmI'm fine with that out on the basepaths. If the throw goes through to home, he's standing on 2nd. If it's cut off, we scored a run. Good baserunning.

We all have opinions. I'll take aggressive baserunning with 2 outs.DRoss wrote: ↑08 Aug 2025 20:57 pmThe runner was scoring regardless of the throw being cut off.

Contreras, millions of dollars of low I.Q. baseball. Good grief..If he wasn't so stupid...
Re: GDT : Cards vs. Cubs (8/8) ~ 7:15pm CDT
Hilarious call ! Lol
I was impressed that ump kid knew named if his favorite umpires.
Surprised though he thought check swings were reviewable.

There is such a thing as dumb aggression. And that was an example of such.cardinalsfever44 wrote: ↑08 Aug 2025 20:59 pmWe all have opinions.

Pozo was going to score there. Thats not aggressive, that's dumb. Quite possibly could've tacked on another run or 2. Pretty sure they could've used another run or 2. Contreras is quite dumb.cardinalsfever44 wrote: ↑08 Aug 2025 20:59 pmWe all have opinions.

I like Contreras he and Herrera are my favorite cardinals but that was bad base running there’s a difference between aggressive base running and just bad base running that was bad. Still my favorite cardinal. Lord knows Donovan has made his share of bad base running mistakescardinalsfever44 wrote: ↑08 Aug 2025 20:59 pmWe all have opinions.

Re: GDT : Cards vs. Cubs (8/8) ~ 7:15pm CDT
...My opinion too... Contreras ensured that the run would score unimpeded. Cubs pitcher Boyd could not risk letting the ball go through to the catcher, and took pretty sure play on Contreras to end the inning, only after the run scored... Cards playing some good baseball tonight... The best game I've seen McGreevy pitch...keeping the Cubs batters off balance. Time to let the Cards BP nail this win down...cardinalsfever44 wrote: ↑08 Aug 2025 20:54 pmI'm fine with that out on the basepaths. If the throw goes through to home, he's standing on 2nd.

It would have been a runner on 1st with 2 outs. Again, I'm not going to lose sleep over him over rounding 1st base.slimjay63801 wrote: ↑08 Aug 2025 21:02 pmPozo was going to score there.

Re: GDT : Cards vs. Cubs (8/8) ~ 7:15pm CDT

Re: GDT : Cards vs. Cubs (8/8) ~ 7:15pm CDT
Ump gives his first high strike all night to help Brasier K Burleson. Man this guy sux.
Re: GDT : Cards vs. Cubs (8/8) ~ 7:15pm CDT
Hampson can fly (his only real skill) no need for Contreas to try and force cut off
