They tried to give it to us with two walks but our RBI guys choked.
Especially Arenado who flails at anything and everything with RISP per usual.
Get Sonny some runs!!!
Yeah, when a team is losing, the key bloopers get caught and the key rockets don't find holes. And vice versa for opponents.

I was not able to watch the last inning, but I did listen to it. It went very quickly and sounded bad.

Those who have been waiting to vent finally can do so . Will enjoy reading all of them. :D
I can't fault 'em for losing a 2-1 game. It would be worse if it was a blowout. Played 'em tough.

Oddity today ... In the victory streak , Walker did nothing with the 'bat ... Now in today's game ,he gets a single driving in a run and the team loses the game.
So his contribution goes somewhat unnoticed .

Fedde's performance was excellent too . He allowed just 3 hits , 0 runs, Very good considering the Phillies lineup .

Winn [shirt]ty tag cost 2 runs

Nado flails and pops up a slider six inches off plate

Last 5 ABs were putrid

Yeah, it's hard to get luck from the baseball gods when the last 4 outs are all Ks.

You watch your mouth. This is all on Oli and Arenado.
Remember when Harper was over on 3rd base with 1 out . The Phillies stranded him too. Did Phills lose their plate discipline not driving him in there ? Hey , it happens to both clubs. Bet some of their fans were complaining about their guys stranding him there .

BTW Walker drove in a RISP with a 2 out single .

Key play in the loss was NA not getting sac fly at least. Choke again.

Tough to win close games on the road against very good teams.
Too bad.....Cards are battling.
Arenado AB was the game.
Awful plate discipline bailed out the pitcher on a 2-0 pitch.
Get the nightcap for the series!

You nailed it when you said 'Phils benefitted from a couple of weak hits to score two .
In postgame Oli interview , he said 'They (Phillies) had a couple well placed balls to score runs .
Loved the 'well placed ball's verbage .. a manager's way of saying Dang, that Harper blooper killed us today . Talk about lucky !
So they call it a couple well placed balls .. obviously Harper did not intend to hit a bloop there on that pitch but it fell in between Vic and Masyn .

Cards were given breaks with the walks.
Nice bounce back win tonight!
