PHI @ STL Gamethread

[DeadlySplitter]

Nola vs Mikolas at 8:37pm

 

[GlucoDoc]

I am in St. Louis for other reasons, I have found myself in the middle of a Cardinals pregame pep rally outside of Busch Stadium. The crowd is pretty bummed about how things went yesterday, and are hopeful it will be better today. Getting very pumped up by the DJ!! We shall see!!

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Harper hit a curve that dropped perfectly into his happy zone 435'.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

A-Rod just called Montgomery “McGovern”.

 

[shawnrbu]

Kay is reveling in Montgomery’s struggles.

Kay is reveling in Montgomery’s struggles.

The ‘five straight balls’? That’s just how he announces.

Kay said “good job by Montgomery!’ when he got out of the inning, even though it was only OK, so I definitely disagree with the above take.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

The Cardinals usually make smart decisions, but going into the postseason with the corpse of Yadier Molina was not one of them.

 

[Mueller's Twin Grannies]

Blowing that game last night looks like it might come back to haunt STL.

Pujols with another postseason hit. Will it be his last?

 

[LogansDad]

This has been a really impressive turnaround of a season from last year for Nola, especially considering all the DH's playing the field behind him.

 

[Mueller's Twin Grannies]

Montgomery squeezed on that 0-2.

 

[Sandwich Pick]

Blowing that game last night looks like it might come back to haunt STL.

Pujols with another postseason hit. Will it be his last?

Phillies have stranded a runner at 3rd the last 2 innings.

 

[jmcc5400]

Pujols' last at bat here?

 

[LogansDad]

If Pujols ties this game with a bomb here, I will die.

 

[Ale Xander]

Poo holes keeps Cards alive

 

[Philip Jeff Frye]

Terrible K by Goldschmidt there.

 

[bosox188]

Man, Goldy is coming up small in this series. If Arenado can't get it done here you can say the same about him.

Edit: Yup, Arenado too.

 

[Ale Xander]

Nolan Goldy is no Manny Ortez

 

[LogansDad]

Terrible series for the Cardinals middle hitters.

 

[Van Everyman]

Assholes of the Best Fans in Baseball™ puckering at this moment

 

[shawnrbu]

Will we get a KayRod cast tomorrow if the Phillies win tonight?

 

[jon abbey]

Terrible K by Goldschmidt there.

He swung over a 3-2 fastball that bounced! How often do you see that from anyone? Yikes.

 

[Mueller's Twin Grannies]

Last chance for the Redbirds. Eflin in to close.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

You hate to see it.

 

[Mueller's Twin Grannies]

Down to their last out

 

[Ale Xander]

Morans have life

 

[Mueller's Twin Grannies]

You knew it was going to get to Yadí.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Throw him straight heat you idiot.

 

[Catcher Block]

At least Yadi had one last moment.

 

[Ale Xander]

The Pujols PR may haunt them

 

[bosox188]

The Pujols PR may haunt them

It shouldn't, Goldy and Arenado needed to do their jobs there and they couldn't get it done. The kids and the geriatrics are carrying them right now.

 

[Sandwich Pick]

Radio guys wondering if the taller Bohm could have caught that ball.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Radio guys wondering if the taller Bohm could have caught that ball.

Uhhh no

 

[Sandwich Pick]

Uhhh no

Thanks. Not watching the game at the moment.

 

[Catcher Block]

That'll do it.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Gritty.

 

[Jeff Frye's Face Mask]

So long St. Louis. I’m surprised they lost. But certainly not disappointed.

 

[Ale Xander]

So the East is the best division in baseball but it’s the NL?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Thanks. Not watching the game at the moment.

I feel you. I distinctly recall the final days of Trup.

 

[Mueller's Twin Grannies]

Well, there goes my bracket.

Adios Albert. See you in Cooperstown.

 

[canderson]

I’m all-in on a PHL vs SEA WS.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Now the Angels can sign Pujols.

 

[E5 Yaz]

You know, when a franchise that plays the game the right way in front of the best fans in baseball can't win a home playoff game to a ragamuffin collection that should be in a beer league, well, you just have to laugh.

Well, I just had to laugh

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Fair enough Pujols & Molina acquitted themselves well with hits at the end. Screw the rest of the Cards and their fanbase as usual.

 

[Mueller's Twin Grannies]

Well, I just had to laugh

And doesn't score in all but one of 18 innings played.

 

[shawnrbu]

Dombrowski built a better team than Bloom. Hilarious.

 

[GlucoDoc]

…And from a hotel next to Busch Stadium, it is really quiet outside.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Arenado and Goldschmidt went 1-15.

 

[Sandwich Pick]

I’m all-in on a PHL vs SEA WS.

That was my dream matchup as a kid. Better late than never, I guess!
