Nado is dead pull type hitter. If he had hit pop up to short LF .. no deep enough to score Gorman, there was nobody that could catch it.
Anyone else notice that?

With him play a guy in LF even roars the line and other guy in CF cheating toward LF. Heck leave RF open

That was really weird, but I’m not going to get mad at them for doing it!

Took any drama out of it

And we all thought it was to give him a rest fir day game after the night game .

All kidding aside , Oli gets an A grade today on all his moves including the bunt by Pages with 2 strikes and lifting VS II for Nado

5.62 K/9
4.03 BB/9

FIP does not like him, but 73.2 IP with a 3.54 ERA is very nice

Wouldn't the Cardinals run in the 8th be unearned? The bases would have been loaded on Burleson's infield hit, and then Herrera popped out to end the inning.

The only reason the run scored was because of the pitcher's throwing error, so therefore in my book the run is unearned.

Does anyone have different ideas?

Casparius error allowed Pages to reach 1B as he sacrificed Barrero (Gorman's PR) to 3B.

Barrero later scored with nobody out so the run is earned. If Pages had scored it would have been unearned, but he did not. If there were 2 outs when Barrero scored, it may also have been unearned, I guess.
