GDT : Cardinals vs Reds (7/26) ~ 1:15pm CDT

[82birds]

5 hits in 9 innings

[Charles King]

O'Brien not available

[Lightning Rod]

Crooks pitch recognition is non-existent. No wonder the guy can't hit.

Is that solely on Crooks or still typical of our MiLB development?

I'd say mainly on Crooks.

Svanson bad pitches, Crooks bad catching..........

[bartleby the scrivener]

TV dinner still throwing his screwball.

[Lightning Rod]

Oli says, let's get this one overwith, send in Svanson.

This guy ain’t exactly covering himself in glory.

[mizfan]

How can Oli look the players in the eyes after the game telling them he played to win when he puts Svanson in this position?

[hotrivets]

About to waste a good effort by Leahy

Looks like Svanson is at it again.

what's he supposed to do?

[Charles King]

Svanson not fooling anyone

[12xu]

When you bring in a pitcher with a close to 7 ERA into a tie extra inning game, this is what often happens.

what's he supposed to do?

Pitch Soriano for every relief inning obviously!

He stinks. So does Crooks.

Oli held off as long as he could.
