GDT : Cardinals @ Reds (8/17) ~ 12:40pm CDT ~ Doubleheader Game 1

[Carp4Cy]

...Cards have had RISP all 3 innings played...only one hit though... That has come to bite them not only early, but possibly later in the game also

Yes, we badly need runs.

[hotrivets]

Brad has to bring up Skyline Chili again - he has to, every time they visit Cincinnati.......

For god's sake stop talking about the (drat) chili.

Are they under the belief, we tune in to hear what they have to say, and not watch the game. Who is producing or directing these announcers, including Dani. Simply unprofessional!

I wonder if the general viewing public is okay with the [nonsense] or if the Cardinals do not monitor reaction or care.

And the RISP failures starts to hurt.

Heck of an at bat by myers

Myers homers on the 12 pitch of the AB.........

[Cusecards]

Cards waste another 2 on, 1 out situation........

They’re wasting a lot of chances to tack on I hope it doesn’t come back to bite them. But on the plus side hopefully they will break through with more if they keep getting them on

1-10 RISP against this tomato can pitching for the Reds stings.

Gonna be a huge test for the below average bullpen.

[82birds]

Heck of an at bat by myers

yes it was
single and HR for him

...Cincy pitcher Emanuel has had an unbelievably lucky game so far. ..Two more RISP and no scoring. Cards have a couple XBH hits off him, but then can't score the baserunners. Emanuel at 34 years age, at 79 pitches and probably only 1 more inning for him, and then probably see a RH pitcher.

This game not starting good for the series for the Cards... Figured they would score several runs early and get into the Cincy BP, but that hasn't worked either.

Toglia you are out.....

[cardinalsfever44]

Q gets through 4, but with way too many pitches. Gastelum up next.

[C-Unit]

You know Mathews is going to strike (female canine animals, especially dogs) out guaranteed. But by the looks of it it'll be a special day if he can get pat 5 innings under 100 pitches. Today over 90 pitches through 4 innings.

[12xu]

Mathews 7 K's and 3 walks thru 4 IP. 95 pitches, might be done.

[Lightning Rod]

Mathews, got the job done, but four innings, 95 pitches. Yikes!

[cbcloud]

...Matthews thru 4 with the lead, but 95 pitches and he likely won't start the 5th. Cards need to put up several runs here in the 5th, and maybe get a win for Quinn...

[sikeston bulldog2]

Possible weather delay around 330. Slender Line of storms to NW moving to the south. If it holds expect some lightning, then 30 minute holds.

Just sayin.

[todd-parker]

Bullpen for 5 innings?

Cards will need to score at least 4 more runs.
