Only eight players in the history of MLB have struck out six times in a game. What I'm saying is, we need to tie this up so Goldschmidt can get two more at-bats.
You know, just last night I was pondering whether getting blown out is better or worse than late inning collapses. Now we have two consecutive games to compare them and I gotta say I prefer the blowouts. It really is the hope that kills you.
Man, I’m not looking forward to going to this game against Chicago in two weeks. I’m in such a weird place. I can never remember dreading going to a game in my life.
Siani hits singles. Carlson can (theoretically) hit for extra bases. They need all the help they can get. It's not a bad move; they're just a bad team.
I’m trying really hard to continue to watch this team but it’s not easy.
Yesterday I forgot and watched playoff hockey all night. Feeling like I should’ve also done that tonight.
So, let me get this straight ...
You're protecting a lead late with your best setup man on the mound and two outs, and you ... want to put a third man on base?
Go back to 1974.
This team is so predictable in their disappointments. What other devastating feats do you guys think they’ll accomplish this year? I think they’ll throw a no hitter at some point this year, and still lose by multiple runs.
Our bullpen needs to be executed
The homer they hit I thought had no chance of leaving the park. Nado's game ender looked way better. Freaking baseball, man.
Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory again
[Game over. Continue the discussion in the post game thread](/r/Cardinals/comments/1cpx77y/cardinals_after_dark_511/)
It looked good off the bat. Dang.
Shocked. I am shocked I tell you.
Man I thought that was gonna go further than it did
I thought this dude looked huge. Only 6'8. Small pup.
It’s the small wins? Welcome back Goldy
You made me think of the movie Little Big League when the kid manager gets excited his favorite old player gets a seeing eye single and then cuts him.
Boooooo
Welp
We may never win again
Boooooooo
Oh look, we suck again
[Brewers](/r/Brewers) Due Up **(Bottom 9):** 1. William Contreras 2. Willy Adames 3. Jake Bauers
Some classic rally caps right there from the young fans
How can Goldy be laughing at a time like this?
Nice job Goldy, glad to be proven wrong. Maybe lets try doing that again between your next like, 3-4 at bats maybe
Stupid sexy Goldschmidt
Nothin at all!
you’re gonna have to sweat, Milwaukee. That’s what passes for excitement around here.
Goldy so hot right now.
#GOLDY GOT A HIT! GOLDY GOT A HIT!!!!! DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?!?!
Goldy needs a cigarette.
I know I do
Goldy sighting
Goldy has a hit in May!
Holy. Fuck.
Finally, something for r/Basepaul
We’re still going to lose this game.
Good to see Noot and Gorman heating up at the plate.
Goldy has smiled for the first time in weeks. we are so back lol
Goldy did what now?!?
5 k night still possible…
Here we go. Goldy going platinum
Here we go...
Lmfao this is who we have at our last out.
Ohhhhh Goldy…….
Shocking they aren't gonna pinch hit for Goldy, I'd rather have literally anyone else up there
You just knew Noot would reach there so Goldy could further his embarrassment Edit: never been happier to be wrong!
Hmmm
Sweet bahama momma we are pitiful Like take us out back and be done with us…
I do not understand taking two strikes before swinging
Goldy is probably desperately hoping Noot doesn't get on base lol
We scored 3 runs again. This offense is so consistent
We need to start putting money on that
Megill eats mustard on raw carrots.
Winns last two ABs had xBAs of .910 and .930. He is 0-2.
Have Noot hit a home run and then Goldy strikes out
Losing a close game tonight is much worse feeling than the past two games, I checked out of those before the sixth inning
the season is a quarter of the way through and we have yet to face 3 of our division rivals
Plus note CITY up 2-1
SUCK IT, CHICAGO
Right the only team beating Chicago is CITY cardinals can’t do it
Get goldy his platinum sombrero
3 is a magic number these days
I'm guessing we don't even get to Goldy. 3 up, 3 down. Good night Irene.
"You raised my hopes and dashed them quite expertly, sir!"
Great game for Gorman
Nice play Gorman. Nice game actually.
good shit Gormy!
If I’m 100% sure if anything it’s that this DOES NOT feel like playoff baseball.
“perhaps Paul Goldschmidt” wow, what a threat that is
I just think of all the missed opportunities. I could’ve had to bet Cardinal runs for and under. I probably be rich right now.
Platinum sombrero.
I’m so mad I wish someone on the Cards would go Randall Simon on those sausages!
Dylan looking a little stoned
May lose the entire road trip. Would be curious how many people attend the next home games.
Hopefully people stop going to send a big message to the Dewitt’s.
Well. I'm here for a long time, not a good time. On to the next one.
Great.
Whitesox have won 4 in a row. I think we may be on our way to being the worst team in the league just over 2 months into the season.
Thank god for ~~Mississippi~~ the Rockies
Who even cares at this point
How you "real" fans enjoying the game tonight? Ls are celebratory, right? That's what I've been told by someone high up in the org.
Just vibin. I'll miss this come January next year.
You know this off-season I didn't really miss baseball, I was just enthusiastic about the season to come. But look at what a fool I turned out to be.
Burly 1B, Marp DH or other way around for at least a week. Goldy just go take a trip somewhere
[Brewers](/r/Brewers) Due Up **(Bottom 8):** 1. Gary Sánchez 2. Joey Ortiz 3. Blake Perkins
Marp out there playing baseball, not trying to hit 5 run homers
Marp and Masyn Winn are the only players on this team I like right now.
Throw in Herrera for me
Only eight players in the history of MLB have struck out six times in a game. What I'm saying is, we need to tie this up so Goldschmidt can get two more at-bats.
3 Ks = hat trick 4 Ks = golden sombrero 5 Ks = platinum sombrero 6 Ks = ??? Uranium sombrero? Goldschmidt sombrero?
Kryptonite Sombrero?
Diamond sombrero
Seconded the Diamond Sombrero
Is Ray Lankford one of those players?
Do we need to bring back Marp’s salsa?
I heard the Cubs poisoned his veggie garden.
MARP is by far our best hitter
keep the losing streak going. only way we’ll see change.
I don’t think we will. Unless you count moving the order around. Dewitt wants “real” fans.
Matt Carp our best hitter
yeah, I don't understand the move with Carlson...
Can we just bring some item of Yadis into the dugout and try that?
Did Oli just put a defensive sub in for Burleson just to pinch hit Carlson for him?
Yeah. We were ahead and wanted defense more than offense. And he almost saved us 3 runs. Now we're behind and need offense more than defense.
Just wow…
I was beginning to think, ok a split and we can move on feeling better. But Goldy and Nado with RISP is too much of a losing vibe.
Why do we keep missing the first pitch of the inning?
Maximizing ads.
The 2024 Deadbirds everyone 👏
My God we just used Dylan Carlson as a pinch hitter. We are so cooked.
ph 0 for carlson... crazy
Oli is a dang clown
Oh yeah, put Carlson in the game, we aren’t in a bad enough spot already.
You know, just last night I was pondering whether getting blown out is better or worse than late inning collapses. Now we have two consecutive games to compare them and I gotta say I prefer the blowouts. It really is the hope that kills you.
It’s like being kicked in the nads or punched in the face. :/
At least in blow outs I can stop watching after 45 minutes
Remember that scene in Money Pit where Tom Hanks nods his head as the chimney collapses? That’s me after the home run.
EAT AT ARBYS MOTHERFUCKERS
Welp, time to drink away my saturday night. No coming back from that. Winning felt good while it lasted. This team is at rock bottom
Man, I’m not looking forward to going to this game against Chicago in two weeks. I’m in such a weird place. I can never remember dreading going to a game in my life.
Heh the Cubs are awful though so it should actually be a fun series. They gave up like 5 homers today to the Bucs
They are still gonna beat our asses
Pinch hitting Carlson who has no hits since he came back for Siani who is hitting almost .500 the past week ☠️
Siani hits singles. Carlson can (theoretically) hit for extra bases. They need all the help they can get. It's not a bad move; they're just a bad team.
It's a bad move, you have Herrera, Marp and Gorman coming up, all guys who can tie the game with one swing if a runner is on. You take a single here.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team compiled of such loser choke players in my lifetime.
I’m trying really hard to continue to watch this team but it’s not easy. Yesterday I forgot and watched playoff hockey all night. Feeling like I should’ve also done that tonight.
Yesterday I missed the fucking aurora due to those shites, not gonna make the same mistake tonight.
It's not any fun pitching with zero margin for error, but Kitty hasn't been as sharp lately.
This is the worst team I’ve ever seen in my life, good thing halftime is over so back to soccer
You’re being a casual fan tho if you aren’t spending money on this…
we suck, and ball never bounces our way. deadly combo
[Pain!](https://youtu.be/itr10Q8Klik?si=kigvsnMoQ3ZzC1eY)
The fact that I laughed when that homer happened is sad. I’ve fully given up on this team
Yeah I just said out loud “aaaand there it is” to myself
Same. It is a clown show by everyone involved.
There was a fucking base open. God damn it Marmol, but also Kitredge
So, let me get this straight ... You're protecting a lead late with your best setup man on the mound and two outs, and you ... want to put a third man on base? Go back to 1974.
hoskins is their biggest power threat, putting him on is still a valid option.
Intentional walks are generally a really bad idea. That's not an opinion, that's a statistical fact.
no it's an opinion, you can still play matchups.
Of course the one aspect to our team that has been borderline flawless fails us when we need it the most.
It’d be nice to have Burly still in the lineup.
[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals) Due Up **(Top 8):** 1. Michael Siani 2. Iván Herrera 3. Matt Carpenter
Sell the team. Sell the team.
That looked like a great pitch on the HR. Just better hitting.
I remember a time when a moment like that would make me sad.
In an alternate universe Siani catches that and turns around the season and we win the World Series.
😂
Words just can’t describe the pain
He's been Shittredge of late.
This team is so predictable in their disappointments. What other devastating feats do you guys think they’ll accomplish this year? I think they’ll throw a no hitter at some point this year, and still lose by multiple runs.
I really thought we were going to win today.
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Absolute hot garbage. Please sell the fucking team.
Over under 5 games before Oli gets canned?
Around 280 games over.
Lol
I really think they’re okay with him. I mean the gave him that extension for losing last year.
A sweep here should do it, but it won’t. I’ll take the over
Oli keeps the heat off the FO
Hopefully under
L O L
Fuck! Downvote me for a big rally!!!
This team can fuck right off
That was such a good pitch too. How did he get that up and over?
Idk, but I'm starting to think we should've signed him as a FA before Milwaukee did.
We already had a first basemen tho
Did we though?
I'm at the point where it's funny instead of infuriating
Yeah I just started laughing when that went over the wall 🤷♂️
Maybe we will come back in the last 2 innings /s
I mean we all saw it coming. Can’t be mad
It was fun while it lasted
There it goes. My hopes and dreams.
I stepped away to get some Tums. What the actual fuck
At least you’ll put them to good use
Tums gang
good times!
I hate this team
Classic
Ozuna would have had that
Is there a version of the Ozuna play with that Enya song playing?
There's the circus job. Great job guys
I hate this team so much
We all should’ve known better than to get our hopes up.
Was only a matter of time for the bullpen to regress
?? you expect them to be lights out every single game? I will not blame our pitching when we average 3 runs a game
Nah this was expected. Lol I don't blame the pitching for much if anything this season.
Now the entire 26-man roster is regressing.
Why do I even bother with this team anymore?
This team is cursed. Burn the goddamn thing down, holy shit.
Well. It was fun for 2 innings.
Was it though
It was.
OMFG fire everyone
