It’s a hitters delight tonight against Gio. I’m a little surprised by the hot bats but I’ll take it!

I’m feeling confident they will hold on to win tonight!

Hope we have some left for tomorrow.

Wong looked to be walking ok in the dugout.

Wait, Martinez into the game! Will he give up a base runner?

Don't want to hex us, but I like our chances the way we are playing.

Yeah give me 12 runs a game and I like our chances.

Really liking the walks and pitching, plus hitting.

14 outta 17 is pretty good.

Might as well get him some work. Don't think he had pitched since maybe Thursday or Friday.

Our bullpen, the tops. Right now.

I agree with getting him some work.

Do we have anything tonight, let's go Cards!

logjam · Aug 27, 2019

We have everyone hitting, love Edmond and Thomas, Carp hitting better, bullpen and starting pitching a plus. Let's get to the playoffs!

Add another thing to the list of I can’t believe what I’m seeing! A rain delay in a stadium with a roof. Almost as bad as the game last year when pitcher had a no hitter in Cincinnati and the fire alarm goes off.

what happened? Did they have to come off the field while they closed the roof?

Yes. It’s was pouring. It seemed like they didn’t start closing the roof right away either. The head of the grounds crew should have known that storm was coming in.

Baders double was awesome! Perfect time for the big hit. He seems to have righted the ship!

The team is starting to turn it on at just the right time. Tonight is the 6th straight game they've scored at least 6 runs. They've incidentally also won all 6 of those games.

Not really. I kind of feel bad for him at this point. Everyone else is hitting, but I cringe when Carp is up right now. Even Bader has been smashing the ball since coming back up. Maybe we need to send Carp down.

Carp also made a couple of base running blunders last night which cost the Cardinals a run. He's not in the lineup today, even though Milwaukee's pitcher is right handed.

Haven’t looked at the lineup, but the way Wong played yesterday, I would imagine he is in the lineup today with Edman back at third.

Correct

Gonna be a busy weekend in St. Louis for baseball. The Cardinals and Reds were already scheduled to play a day night doubleheader tomorrow and with tonight's game being rained out they'll now also play a day night doubleheader on Sunday too. Can't really do much about the schedule though. It's the Reds' last trip to St. Louis this season and even though the teams do have one common off day left, if they rescheduled the game to that day, the Cardinals wouldn't have another off day until September 26th.

Looks like it'll be Hudson and Wacha for the Cardinals in the doubleheader on Saturday. Mikolas and Ponce de Leon in the doubleheader on Sunday.

In addition, Lane Thomas has a fractured wrist and is expected to miss the rest of the season as he has been placed on the IL. Tyler O'Neill was recalled to take Thomas' spot on the roster.
