Gotcha. That makes a little more sense.
Espinosa was determined not to strikeout.Now time for an insurance run.
Seems like as good a win as any. Gio settled in great after a rough 2nd. Mattheus and IF got out of a massive jam, and you got a timely pinch hit (after a bizarre, but great bunt). Seems like a textbook playoff win.
Huge play. Gio was un-hittable (either with good pitching or because he was walking guys), the bullpen was in shutdown mode, and the defense was excellent. The batting failed a couple times with runners in scoring position, but Moore came through in the clutch.
I was holding a beer in my hand at that moment. A large of it ended up on the top of my head after I raised my hand in excitement.What was with Stockton calling some routine grounder to 2b the next half inning the defensive play of the game?
Has he done a lot of baseball before? He seemed a bit off.
They added the extra game at the last minute before the regular season began, which meant the playoff schedule was already set. In order to get the wild card game in there but keep the World Series from going beyond November 1st, they had to eliminate a travel day between games 4 and 5 of this round. Yes, it's stupid.
I don't know about that. I think Carpenter is the big X factor here. If he's remotely close to his 200-2011 self, the Cards have a pretty significant advantage over the last three games starting pitcher-wise. Anyone that's even a pale imitation of 2009-2011 Carpenter > Edwin Jackson, and Lohse > Ross Detwiler. Nats might have a slight advantage in the potential Gio/Wainwright matchup in Game 5, but they have to get there first, and Wainwright looked exceptional on Sunday.
Don't mess with my reverse jinx.
Two world titles in six years, by two teams that won an average of 86.5 games. Last September's Braves collapse. Two series wins from behind in the 2011 postseason. Game 6 of the World Series. Getting the second wild card spot in the first year of the dual wild cards. The infield fly in the wild card game. Drawing the Strasburg-less Nats in the division series. I don't think they need any more help, they've clearly got some serious mojo working for them already.
Yeah I mean ESPN 980 is talking about they are covering the game on the radio and yet I get some ESPN crap on the internet listen live.
MLB has the rights to it. I've got the MLB radio app on my phone, but it's not working for me today for some reason.
Good call by you
Surprised it took that long...
He did June 2, 2010...
yeah, that was kinda my point
Really, what did he do in the first two games that made this a good idea?He's hit a player and given up a double. No outs. Any comeback chances are about to be erased.I'm getting angry.
