Some of the Cardinals swings tonight are so far off from the ball that it is hard to believe this is the same team that went 22-7 in August...........
40 innings without an earned run scored and counting......................I'm starting to be concerned about the division race ......( not really , but I remember the phillies collapse in 1964 allowing the Cardinals to close out and win the pennant and a WS ).......................
Wasting a great outing by Mikolas..................................

I know it’s the job of the pitcher to fool the batter, but a lot of these pitches they are swinging at are terrible.

How in the he** do you leave the weakest hitter in all of MLB in to bat with the Cardinals finally getting a runner in scoring position ??????
This loss is on Marmol if it ends up 1-0 padres.........
Everybody watching this game knew PDJ would strike out ....it's what PDJ does best...........................
A manager's job is to put his team in the best position to win ........That was a no brainer to hit for PDJ....i would have rather had Donovan in against the lefty than the worthless PDJ.......
44 innings without an earned run scored by the redbirds.................wow................

my math was off earlier ....it's ONLY 43 innings without an earned run scored by the Cardinals....My bad........
Marmol screwed the pooch on this one when he left PDJ in to bat with the only runner that the Cardinals have had in scoring position in many innings and of course he struck out......
I have been a Cardinals fan for over 60 years and I can't remember such a streak of weak hitting by the redbirds...............Taking pitches for strikes and swinging at balls is prevalent with all of the batters..........yikes...................

Superb starter or subpar at-bats? Cardinals zero-in on reasons for shutouts slump
In a pitching duel dominated by Padres' lefty Snell, Cardinals are shut out for third consecutive game. They've gone 43 innings since their last RBI.
Derrick Goold
SAN DIEGO – With a chance to change the game, change the week and help haul his teammates out of the quicksand he’s encountered before, Paul DeJong – not a pinch-hitter for Paul DeJong – came to the plate in the seventh inning Wednesday.
Albert Pujols snapped Blake Snell’s no-hit bid with a two-out single in the seventh. Rookie Juan Yepez followed with a single to get Pujols where so few Cardinals have been – into scoring position. The inning, the game, the moment found DeJong with a chance to deliver the Cardinals’ first RBI in nearly 45 innings, their first run of their visit to Petco Park.
He chased the first pitch, a 97.7-mph fastball up and out of the zone.
“Big situation in the game, just tried to do some damage, and got out of my zone,” said DeJong, one of the last Cardinals to leave the clubhouse Wednesday night. “I was maybe a little too aggressive. First pitch. Chased the high fastball. I was just trying to time up the heater. He beat me a few times. I expanded the zone a couple of times.
“A little too aggressive in that situation.”
The Cardinals’ only at-bat with a runner in scoring position ended with DeJong swinging at two more 97-mph fastballs from a pitcher at his best for a strikeout to end the inning. Let the questioning resume.
Dominated by Snell for seven innings, the Cardinals withered in pitchers’ duel, 1-0, to San Diego and were shut out for the third consecutive game and NL-worst 16th time this season.

Tipsheet: Montgomery trade, Montas injury undermine Yankees' title bid
The New York Yankees hoped to assemble a stronger starting rotation for the playoffs. Instead, they could end up with something worse.
Jeff Gordon
Starting pitcher Frankie Montas was one of the hottest trade commodities ahead of the deadline. The Oakland A’s held out for a premium acquisition price, one the Cardinals declined to meet.
The Yankees spent young pitchers JP Sears, Ken Waldichuk and Luis Medina, plus second baseman Cooper Bowman, to get Montas and reliever Lou Trevino.
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman would love to get at least a partial refund on that purchase. And the Cardinals are glad they took a pass on Montas and acquired Jordan Montgomery and Jose Quintana instead.
Montas never fully recovered from the shoulder soreness he suffered before the trade -- and now he’s back on the injured list as the postseason nears.
In eight starts for the Yankees, Montas is 1-3 with a 6.35 ERA. He landed back on the 15-day IL after getting another cortisone shot in his shoulder.
The Yankees have shut him down for 10 days and manager Aaron Boone isn’t sure what role, if any, Montas will have with the team once the playoffs start.
“It might be hard to get his pitch count back up, but I think it’s certainly possible he can be in play for us,” Boone said. “Hopefully this next week or 10 days goes well and we can start ramping him up, but we’ve got to get there.”
Montas, who admitted that he “rushed a little bit” during his previous comeback, doesn’t believe his season is over.

Cardinals notebook: Dakota Hudson set for ‘meaningful role,’ but which one is TBD
SAN DIEGO — On the first day he was eligible to return to the active roster, the Cardinals added Dakota Hudson to the pitching staff.

SAN DIEGO — On the first day he was eligible to return to the active roster, the Cardinals added Dakota Hudson to the pitching staff.
Now comes the less obvious decision.
They’ve got to determine where the right-hander fits.
The Cardinals are having an ongoing internal discussion about how Hudson, who had a resurgent return to the rotation after a spell in the minors, can be best utilized in the final weeks of the regular season. Hudson was available out of the bullpen Wednesday, and for the next turn of the rotation, the Cardinals will not shift from the plan to have Adam Wainwright start Sunday at Dodger Stadium. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol left open the possibility that after this weekend, Hudson could tag in to give the starters an extra day of rest.
“He could be used a couple of different ways,” Marmol said. “Insert him into the rotation to buy people a day. We can use him as long relief. We could use him for an inning.”
Eligible to be the Cardinals’ 29th man this past Saturday against Cincinnati, Hudson pitched eight innings, did not allow an earned run and struck out five. He worked a swift game with 12 ground balls — exactly the kind of aggressive and blended use of his pitches and pace that the Cardinals had wanted to see from their young starter throughout the season. He acknowledged that a demotion to Class AAA Memphis and starts in the minors with a pitch clock helped reset his season.
As many ways as the Cardinals could use Hudson at his best is also how many ways they could need him in the coming weeks.
It's funny how StL has had issues with the entire team not being able to hit for several years. And yet it is not the hitting coach's mistake.Superb starter or subpar at-bats? Cardinals zero-in on reasons for shutouts slump

Today's game is @ 3:10 pm cdt..........
Wonder if we get any hits or runs today ???.......................Flaherty will give up some runs and he usually gives up a solo homer or two so it behooves the Cardinals to get an early lead and i hope PDJ is not in the starting lineup today.......................
I'm still befuddled by Marmol not pinch hitting someone for PDJ......Anyone is better than him..........Need a win before we go to play the Dodgers and then a 2 game series @ the brewers........

dare to say "" Jack is back "" but the last 2 innings compare nicely with early Flaherty and his tossing the baseball up then catching it barehanded on the mound does have some significant meaning of being heaalthy again.......9 K's in 6 innings.......
now lets get the bats rolling like in august .....................
