What I love is aggressive, smart baseball. That was aggressive, not smart. I wouldn't even sent PCA.
El Mago, maybe, with his slideability.... ;-)
Was a bad send we all agree. But we're on a lucky streak right now and it felt good to have a Suzuki right there to bail us out.

Cardinals-Cubs set for 8:05 PM CT first pitch.
The last 4 games encapsulate the Cubs Jekyll and Hyde offensive season.
Runs scored: 9, 23, 1, 0
Runs scored: 9, 23, 1, 0
Reminder that today's game is only on Peacock.
yup
weather sucked for both teams & the fans
but it’s pretty hard to win jf you score 2 or less runs
And even harder when it's 1 or less.
Very lame of MLB to put every game on Peacock today, restricting MLB.tv subscribers from viewing any in-network game.
20-3
7-22
18-6
Is quite a ride.
Hopefully today’s 1 for 9 with RISP was just a blip and isn’t the precursor to another plunge down the rollercoaster.

I'm more frustrated with the bullpen. I know they only scored twice, but it's one grenade after another with the choices that Counsell has. If it wasn't for Swanson, they would have coughed up a 9-3 lead yesterday. You'd love to feel comfortable with a 1 run lead in the 8th. All teams blow late leads now and then, but it's an expectation that this pen will give you multiple runs every night.
Figure out a way to beat Cincy 2 of 3, get to the All Star Break and hope that the guys projected to come back after the break actually do come back.

This 12-game stretch with the Orioles, Reds, Twins, and Tigers is another good opportunity to stack some W's.
2 of 3 ??????? What kind of fan are you?
Trying to figure how your username applies
I'm a realist that really finds it hard to believe they can get three really good pitching performances in a row(starter through closer) in a park where the ball flies.
A 2-1 series would make for a 4-2 road trip and one heck of a first half, all things considered.
3-0 would be SWEET!
Okay, I guess, but I'm not giving up on a sweep until we lose a game.
There’s literally one guy in the pen (Thielbar) who was supposed to be there at the beginning of the year. Everyone else is either hurt or been pressed into starting.
The fact that they’re middle of the pack in bullpen ERA (4.10, good for 15th on MLB) when what is essentially their AAA bullpen has been forced to pitch at least 4 innings a night is miraculous.
100% agree. That's what I had pointed out earlier. When you lose 80% of your starting rotation, the entire pen and you can still keep yourself in good playoff position....it is, like you said, miraculous. Finish off this last series in Cincy well and hope that some arms start coming back after the break.
16 Strikeouts tonight. 0-5 with RISP. No runs. Hard to win.
