Last nights game take away.

TLR always said “preventing the other team from scoring is job one”. Or something like that.

The ball tricked into short left so we know he got a lot of the ball. A quicker glove or first step was needed, if possible. It was ruled a hit. One play. But two batters later a guy having a career night lurks; and then drove in three with a bases clearing double.

Could have been one on, two outs.

Thanks for pointing out the subtle nuances that make the difference between winning and losing, Dog.

Just a play that stood out, and of course poor Gorman was involved. Can’t catch a fielding break. He did hit a home run.

Question- did you ever think of Pinson instead of Maris reference best Cardinal outfield.

I don’t have any memories of Pinson, although I’m sure he, Flood and Brock made for a formidable outfield. I think he was just here for ‘69?

Yes one year. He had some nice stats in Cincinnati. How long was Maris here, I’ll have to look. Maris was here 67 and 68. Pinson must have been his replacement.

Wait, poor fielding, slow of foor, bad back KKorn, can't field at 3b? Shocking.

A worthless, non-fielding, non hitting linebacker, can't play RF after 3 years? No way!

This is the roster Mo gave us.

Gorman is Gorman and if by now you do not realize the player you are getting then too bad so sad.

Last nite the Cards had 12 hits, 1 - double, 1 - triple, 3 HR. Winn had 2 on, Gorman 1 on, and Pages a solo. That would leave 7 singles. More importantly they had 12 STRIKEOUTS. Scoring opportunities were there, they just screwed the pooch by SO. Nothing like helping the opposition beat you.
