Ump missed a high strike too. Consistently missing.

We got lucky because that was clearly a ball to Harris in the 8th.

"Oli fighting for his players...."

more like Oli fighting for his job. He shouldn't have gotten it originally and he shouldn't still have it now.

Not a fan of Oli (or Mo)

Helsley with a classic typical Helsley save, except he actually saves this. Good job.

phewww

Best of both worlds.

Downers got to savor the Cards trailing during a long rain delay.

Uppers get to savor a Cards victory going into the break.

Guaranteed 5 day winning streak.

Man it’s hope and prayer every time helsley is on the mound

...Helsley DID get the save...not easy but Cards salvage 1 game of the seriess... Everyone in the Central Division won today I think...

That's all the baseball till Friday... Maybe I can get some work done around the house now...

Oli needed to go bat [shirt] crazy there. That display was weak.

[Cusecards]

Winner!
Eff you Murphy you homely a-hole!
As for Helsley? He makes it interesting for sure.
Reminds me of when Earl Weaver nicknamed a reliever “full pack” because he smoked a full pack watching him pitch every night!
Much needed break
Regroup
Get healthy
Come out strong after the break!

[Wattage]

So Pozo and Gorman both have good games yesterday and they get benched for a AAA middle infielder who they are starting in LF and a backup catcher with a .597 OPS?

Like I said, great job starting Fermin today!!

If the Cardinals want to win games this year
They'd keep Walker in AA and Fermin up as a RH bat

Aka ... Walker will be back with the team after the break with Fermin back in Memphis ..... and so it goes .....

OK then Nootbaar stays on the IL.
Give both Church and Fermin those
Nootbaar and Walker/Saggese ABs

Im not real high on fermin, but he dominated memphis 2 years in a row now, and he can play anywhere on the field. He is also out of options next year, so we might as well give him a chance to prove he deserves to stay next year rather than let him go for nothing without a chance just to see him bloom late like patrick wisdom.

Its now or never for fermin
