Series Thread: Pirates vs Cardinals

[obxyankeefan]

Byrd has come up huge for yall, might have been the best pickup of the season.

Martin gets Cutch home with a sacrifice fly.

Tabata pinch hitting for Barmes. Hopefully he's still hot, despite recent inactivity.

Considering how tight this game is and with wainwright pitching the next game...They have to get Melancon and Grilli ready now... Hope Liriano gets through the 7th and then go to Melancon in the 8th.

Liriano is up to the 100 pitch mark... I do not want him to go much further.

 

[sychmd]

why havent they shown htat SB missed call again. he was out as others have said,
seems like they got shut down from showing a controversial replay. not wanting to show up the umpires.

not sure i would have PH for barmes. barmes had a good AB last time. if i do PH, i do it with barmes so as not to waste tabata in case we go extra innings.

 

[Etrius24]

LOL Nevermind Watson relieved Liriano to start the 7th..

 

[Etrius24]

isn't it funny how when the umpires make a really bad call that goes against the home team they will not show it over again on the jumbo tron... LOL..

 

[Darkstone42]

Come on, Tony. A ground ball would be great right now.

 

[sychmd]

cards really have no bench.
hope that plays true now.

 

[Darkstone42]

Got the ground ball. Too soft for two, though.

 

[Darkstone42]

Nice play by Watson ends the inning.

 

[Etrius24]

Bring on Melancon... Get Beltran and then grilli can take the bottom of the order in the 9th

 

[Darkstone42]

Balls.

 

[Etrius24]

FUCK

 

[Darkstone42]

Well, Melancon gave up the home run, but he moved on to get three outs and get us out of the inning.

We've got Cutch, Morneau, and Byrd coming up, too, so perhaps we can take that lead right back.

 

[Clayton]

That is one of the worst strike calls on Holliday Ive seen in awhile but Im not sure it wouldve mattered. This should be interesting....Pirates usually win these games this season but this is usually where the Cards have shined in the past

 

[Darkstone42]

Bad baserunning blunder by Cutch. Pity that ball was right at Kozma, though. It was well hit.

 

[sychmd]

pedro has been having good and patient AB's.
he is always looking fastball when he gets to 3 balls.

here's hoping the count only gets to 2 balls, he fouls off one then rips and RBI single.

 

[Darkstone42]

PEDRO!

 

[sychmd]

the squeeze was an awesome call.
was it really a foul.
looked like a PB and run scores/
