winner !!!!!

holy cow
31 PC for Helsely after pitching last night
obviously not available tomorrow

Whew!

No quit fellas, great job.

Who closes tomorrow?

My goodness what a BP ride! Helsley always playing with fire.

How does Helsley get the win and not that save there?

A bit too close for comfort there, but 29-23 hell yeah I'll take it

Great win Cards now Go Reds

That play saved the game plus RBI earlier

I loved the play, and realize we need to trade him. I also realize we have NOTHING remotely close to his defense in the minors. And there's no bat that can offset the drop in defense. So...it's a strange situation to be in.

With a reset of payroll, you need to shed that contract. Do it this offseason if you can, or maybe someone desperate comes a calling in July

IMO, Pozo is a very very good catcher
he must have saved about 10 wild pitches with a man on third base today

Could be they are picking up a "tell"

Helsley is a heart attack waiting to happen! That's a Cards winner and they clinch the series!

Dear God. I'm getting too old for this! Luckily, I can't see it on tv. That saves a few months on my life.

Let's hope the Cardinals put up 10 runs tomorrow and don't need a closer

Might he be tipping his pitches thru glove momevent , gripping it etc.
Sure Dusty and coaches pouring over video to see if opponents have found something.

Interesting. Official scorer gives Helsley the win, no save. Guess in his opinion, Matz didn’t pitch well enough to earn the win. Don’t see that scoring decision often.

Hopefully we score enough it can be Svanson

Fun ball game. Both starters deserved a W.
