3-0 Cards through 2.5 innings
Yainer, we hardly knew ye.
Bottom 3
- Vazquez launches one into the boxes, 3-1 Cards, you will be seeing screenshots of the little dance he did in the dugout

- Altuve 5-3
- Yordan puts the first pitch into the seats in right, 3-2 Cards, does not do a little dance in the dugout
- Correa 6-3
3-2 Cards though 3

Lambert appears to be good at almost escaping the shit he puts himself in

- Wetherholt grounds out 3U
- Herrera clean single to left center, Pages scores, 4-2 Cards

Well, it didn’t take long to take care of Vazquez.
ETA: Not that Yainer would have done any better. At least it wasn’t a double play.
Bottom 4
- Walker grounds to 1B, Burleson can’t field it, still tries to make the throw, Leahy late to the bag, Walker called safe… Cards challenging… it’s closer than it looked live… review taking a while… call stands, runner safe on E3
- Loperfido 6-3, Walker to 2B
- Cam fouls one off 2-2, bat caught the glove, Astros challenge to argue catcher’s interference… Astros win the challenge, Cam to 1B thanks to a little nip of the glove
- Trammell little broken bat blip to 2B, Wetherholt knocks it down but can’t field it, bases juiced
- Vazquez K looking, challenges… aaand he’s out
- Paredes PH for Allen, K swinging, inning over
4-2 STL through 4
I wonder if the Cardinal pitcher is related to Mr. Lahey?
Senator Leahy?
Patrick Leahy, the Batman actor?
Top 5, Lambert still out there, Okert warming, Correa moves to SS as Paredes takes over at 3B
- J. Walker K on an ugly swing
- Gorman K, again Lambert looking frustratingly good (8K so far)
- Winn 6-3
4-2 STL through 4.5, nice clean fifth for Lambert to presumably finish his night
Bottom 5
- Altuve BOOM off the Conoco sign above the boxes, 4-3 STL
- Yordan first pitch F8
- Correa 3U
- Walker also 3U
4-3 STL after 5
Top 6. Okert in
- Church… Okert can’t find the zone, works back to a full count, obligatory foul, less obligatory foul, ball four
- Pages 1-0, runner going, ball 2, throw not in time, Church takes 2B… Pages F8 but it was ugly, Altuve initially calls off the outfielders then bails, Trammell doesn’t call it, Smith almost crashes into him but TT makes the grab
- Scott bunts 2-3, runner does not advance
- Wetherholt F9 to the track
4-3 Cards through 5.5
Bottom 6, Bruihl takes over for Leahy
- Loperfido… ball 1; Pages challenges, it’s actually strike 1; works count full; 4-3 as Wetherholt makes the play on the grass
- Cam well struck to CF but right at Scott, 2 down
- Trammell F9 to the track, inning over
4-3 Cards through 6
Again, why the fuck is Abreu pitching in close games?
Top 7, Abreu in, prayers up; Matthews replaces JLo in LF, looks like Joey came up lame at 1B last inning
- Herrera F9
- Burleson doubles to LF
- Walker lives up to his name on 4 pitches
- Gorman big ol’ HR to right, 7-3 STL
- Winn F9; JP France warming again
- Church 4-3 on the first pitch, Altuve barehands it
7-3 Cardinals as Abreu continues to be a train wreck into a dumpster fire
I’m ready for Abreu to do whatever it is he’s doing somewhere else.
The obvious trade candidates for a deadline sale have all decided to shit themselves out of any trade value.
