GDT : Cards vs. Brewers (9/20) ~ 7:15pm CDT

[cardstatman]

I have no idea why Mikolas is still pitching.

Me either

I guess to give up another double ( can't get my red font to work)

Official Scorer ruling: E0 (error on the manager). This run against Mikolas will be unearned.

It is okay. We aren't trying to win.

[Charles King]

No win
No loss

[cardstatman]

Need more runs. Time to pick up your manager's error and win anyway.

[hmoss859]

Burleson is so slow.

[cardstatman]

Arenado and Saggese single.

It might take 4 singles to score a run this inning. Arenado has no speed.

[82birds]

one-out single for Nado
Saggese follows with a single

[82birds]

Pages didn't like the first pitch call but it was a strike.
then swings at one way out of the zone
strike three same as first pitch.
carved him up unfortunately.

strike three right on the inside black and of course Chip says center cut.

[cardstatman]

Leahy, O'Brien, Romero, and Svanson all available and we sent Mikolas out there after 92 pitches to give up his 5th double to lead off the 6th.

I'm having trouble getting over that.

Anyone know a therapist?

Just another perfect example of a Cardinals’ hitter not understanding how the opposing team was going to try and get him out.
Brewers know Pages has been good at going the other way lately, so they bust him inside and Pedro can’t even swing the bat! He was bound and determined to hit the ball to RF!

Just because it was probably his last appearance in Busch Stadium as a Cardinal. I say probably, cautiously !

[82birds]

swinging bunt
Leahy terrible throw to first
very very good job Gorman to catch that

[cardstatman]

Another sac bunt. Another inning going for 1 run.

[82birds]

leadoff single Walker
another 2-hit game
Walker to 2nd on sac bunt by Scott
c'mon Donnie

[cardstatman]

It is all up to our career .600 OPS hitter against LHP.

C'mon Burly. Beat the odds.

[cardstatman]

Another sac bunt. Another inning going for 1 run.

If we usually can't score the Manfred guy with nobody out, I don't know why we think we have a good chance to score a guy from 2B with one out.

[cardstatman]

The Cards bullpen is a weapon.

If we had a manager who was trained to use that weapon, someone could be going for a save in the 9th.

Let's score and give the manager another chance.
