Sending Broxton home there was just terrible.

[adambr2]

Sedar reminding us that he's still the worst.

[danzig6767]

How do third base coaches who do this for a living make such horrible decisions to where guys are thrown out at the plate by 5-10 feet? Man it's annoying.

[adambr2]

Well, maybe it'll start pouring again

[pacopete4]

The beat goes on. I don't even know why I tune into the game when they play the Cardinals

[adambr2]

Atta boy Shaw.

[Dead Simmons]

Don't know about you guys, but I LOVE a slugfest.

[adambr2]

Broxton up to .216. He's getting there.

[adambr2]

Offense fights back to tie it up and Chase walks the leadoff guy to start the next inning. I sure do love our pitching staff.

And to no surprise the walk comes around to score. Give up free bases and that's what you get.

[topper09er]

that rocket from Santana for an out balancs out the RBI double Shaw hit last inning on a cutter that sawed him off

[adambr2]

I freaking hate Kolten Wong.

[markedman5]

I wonder if we will ever win a series from the Cards again?

[Ennder]

Broxton up to .216. He's getting there.

 

 

His last 14 day stat line is a .344 AVG with a .948 OPS.

 

And that was before the 3/3 with a double and HR. Now it is over a 1.000 OPS.

Machines. Please.

[yfinn6]

Broxton coming to life.

 

Correction, I see he's been improving for a while. Came to life.

Keon! Triple away from the cycle.

[adambr2]

So how many times has Aaron Judge had to randomly pee in a cup this year?

[Dead Simmons]

I wonder if we will ever win a series from the Cards again?

With Wainwright sucking and position players dropping like flies it may be the tonight.

[Ennder]

It is so refreshing to see our manager take a pitcher out in this situation. Anderson has thrown a lot of pitches for 5 innings and a lot of them were high stress. Our previous managers would have left Anderson in to try to give him the chance to get a win.

[yfinn6]

I guess Santana was content not to take his bat off the shoulder in that at-bat. Did he swing even once in those 7 pitches?

[adambr2]

Santana with 2 on and 2 out never even took the bat off his shoulders. Very lucky not to get rung up.

[adambr2]

Man, we're squandering a lot of scoring opportunities tonight.

[adambr2]

It's kind of crazy that our list of cyclists the last 20 years is just crappy backup catchers and bench players.
