Pardon my ignorance, but if you pinch hit and move Diaz from DH to catcher, do you lose the DH?? You do don’t you??
Oi veh
Yes
But they’re gonna PH Madris for Maldonado
I don’t know about this……
This shit better work with losing the DH.
This is curious to say the least.
I feel like this is the game here. Gotta get runs now
Madris works the count ful…Whomp whomp
At the Stretch…4-2 Cardinals.
Crap

Can’t say he didn’t get pitches to hit…three meatballs right down the middle of the plate
Stanek in… he’ll bat in the 9th spot
With our luck, we’ll be down by 4 but load the bases when Stanek comes up.
Maybe we’ll get lucky and Dusty will pinch hit for him.

More walks! Yay!
That reminds me of a high school game I worked. Home team didn’t need to win the last game to make the playoffs so they played a bunch of Seniors who had been riding the bench. They lost something like 12 to 2 but the fans were happy (so was the visiting team).
While Famber was working on Donovan before he got the 3rd out (on his 84th pitch) in the bottom of the 5th, the Cards threw up this stat:
Opponent AVG & HR
1st 75 pitches…Avg.189…5…HR
After 75th pitch…Avg.321…1…HR
(Could not find the source.)
On to the 8th, down by 2 but feels like a dozen.
I would have sent Julks on Peña’s 2-out hit.

1 pitch 1 out. We’re still playing the same as we have since the 4th innning
Astros have hit about six balls hard up the middle against that “not a shift”.
