Official Thread of the St. Louis Cardinals

Add to more strikeouts to Preston Wilson's season stats. If Encarnacion doesn't get healthy (of if they don't call up Ankiel), Wilson will break the single-season strikeout record.

Didn't he hold that marvelous distinction at one time already when he was playing for Florida?

I believe so but Dunn surpassed him

 

[tidwell]

I thought so.

Run-scoring sac fly for the Pirates... 2-2

 

[tidwell]

Springer came in for Wainwright and got'em out of the inning with the bases load, whew.

2-2 to the 8th.

 

[tclowers23]

Waino should've been pulled when he hit the 1st and walked the 2nd batter he faced in the 7th inning. He lost it.

 

[tclowers23]

Top of the order coming up for the Cards in the top of the 9th. Maybe they can get it done. I read that Izzy is considered unavailable today, so I wonder if Tyler Johnson may get a chance at a save?

 

[tclowers23]

Springer just wasted 11 pitches on Cota and walked him. In comes Randy Flores.

 

[tidwell]

Pujols will hit a HR this inning. I can feel it.

 

[tidwell]

so I wonder if Tyler Johnson may get a chance at a save?

Certainly a possibility. Might leave Franklin in or go to Hancock, Johnson, or Thompson.

[tidwell]

Oh wow, they pinch hit for Taguchi who was 3-3 with Duncan.

 

[tidwell]

And Duncan proceeds to hit a solo homer. :lol: :rock2:

 

[tclowers23]

Clutch.

 

[tclowers23]

Finally, a hit for Pujols.

 

[tidwell]

Well, a single will do, Albert.

The gamecast says he singled to the pitcher. I'd like to see that sequence of events. What'd he do, hit a line driver off the pitcher's melon that ricocheted into left field?

 

[tclowers23]

Who do you think gets a chance at the save? Tyler Johnson?

 

[justingroves]

And Duncan proceeds to hit a solo homer. :lol: :rock2:

:rock: Is it on TV?

 

[tclowers23]

Spiezio with a hit. Wow, they come in bunches.

 

[tclowers23]

:rock: Is it on TV?

FSN Midwest

 

[justingroves]

FSN Midwest

I don't get that

 

[tidwell]

I dunno who will go out for the 9th... depends on the matchups, I suppose. Could be one of those innings where a guy comes in to face one or two guys then another guy comes in as well.

 

[tclowers23]

And Kennedy kills the inning by hitting into a double play. Oh well, 3 more outs to sweep the Pirates and claim the NL Central lead, haha. Like it matters this early in the season... but still...
