Megill got the job done but hasn't looked like much of a closer this year. I'd like to see he and Uribe trade roles.

He’s definitely not the standard we are used too for the past 5 years or more

You just beat me to this comment. Uribe should definitely be the closer. Megill is much better in the setup role compared to closing.

I actually thought Megill's outing was extremely mature...Dillard touched on this in the postgame, but everything he did made sense relative to the situation. 

2 run lead--Arenado at the plate.  4 straight knuckle curves--two! for called strikes!!... and gets him on a fastball flyball.

2 run lead 1 out--Nolan Gorman at the plate.  1st pitch fastball is a double to the gap. tip your cap.

2 run lead guy on 2nd....Pages at the plate. 6 pitch strikeout with good mix and location.

2 run lead guy on 2nd 2 outs--no power Victor Scott at the plate. 6 pitch AB....good mix good location didn't walk a no power guy and he hit a single on an decently located 99 mph fastball.  tip your cap.

1 run lead, guy on 1st 2 outs--dominated a struggling Nootbaar with 3 straight well located knuckle curves.  game over.

 

Megill is good.  He's not the best closer in the league like we are used to having, but he is good.

Another win.    I was never sold on cardinals but is there any chance we can finish any of the other three wild card teams?

We have a similar run diff to SF and Philly. And San Francisco is over-performing. If we get upper-80s wins we’ll be in.
