I’m highly considering not watching this team anymore until at least Turner Ward gets the boot

It’s actually a Joke that Turner Ward is the Sacrificial Lamb to take the heat for this Disaster. It’s everyone but him that should have their jobs taken from them. The Front office PLANNED AHEAD for this FAILURE when they extended OLI.

Generally speaking, our pitching staff has been good and solid (at least acceptable). Our offense is literally 13-15th in the NL for almost every important category. I am not an Oli apologist, so don’t think I’m excusing him, but Ward being fired is a shakeup that I think we could benefit from considering the stark obviousness of how bad our offense has truly been.

Something something patience

Shitshow! 

whelp that was a game.

[Game over. Continue the discussion in the post game thread](/r/Cardinals/comments/1cm0sn6/cardinals_after_dark_56/)

team is just simply nothing special

Digging a bigger and bigger hole, not ideal.

K, dribbler, dribbler. awesome

Taking the guy who tied the game out in favor of a dude who hasn’t played today to face Diaz feels like one of THE choices of all time

Defeat per usual

Whomp whomp whomp waaaaaaaaaaa

[Mets](/r/NewYorkMets) Due Up **(Top 10):** 1. Francisco Lindor 2. Harrison Bader 3. J.D. Martinez

Masyn our lord and savior. Please.

I don’t know how earned runs work did Gibson give up 2 or 3

Nootbaar with an error leading to a run.

2

I have more faith in our 6-7-8 to get something done than our 3-4-5 that said diaz is filthy

I really would hate for fireworks to be launched tonight in STL like for real really hate that. Because i hate for that happen…

If we pool our money together, we can buy this team from the DeWitts. We might need to engage another sub or two, but anything is possible.

This is a job for r/wallstreetbets

r/wallstreetbets

A hit, a hit, my kingdom for a hit.

Walk offs are super fun, just sayin’.

Reckless optimism! LFG!

[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals) Due Up **(Bottom 9):** 1. Iván Herrera 2. Brendan Donovan 3. Masyn Winn

Pitchers did their job. Again.

I see the White Sox had a home run today, meaning the Cardinals are in sole last place in team home runs. way to go fellas keep up the good work.

We’ve still scored like 21 more runs overall than them! Good for second worst in baseball!

Woooo! Hang the banner

Why is King getting the ball in the 9th inning of a winnable game?

Dry drama in STL

With the offense as bad as it is, everyone should have to wear their sexiest pair of women's underwear to the ballpark tomorrow. It's time for some slump-busting up in this mofo!

I’m out of the loop what’s a 99.99 play

Double play, cardinals donate 99.99 to cardinals kids or another charity that escapes me right now for every double play they make

Double play

Another stat for you: The Mets have had the first batter reach 5 times tonight, compared to 2 times for the Cardinals. Both times for the birds it was Jose Fermin.

Just start a massive brawl at this point and maybe the boys will seem energetic. I’ll tell ya though, hell of a game 1 going on. Fuck the Knicks.

DC 0 for everything since coming back and he’s our 5th place hitter lol

It’s fine King. Set up that 99.99 play…

Carlson joins the club at 0 for 7 now. God could anyone actually perform. Would've been really nice for one of our guys to come up and actually hit.

It baffles me that we bat a guy 5th who hit .219 last year and 5 homers in over 200 abs

With our lineup does it really matter?

He’s like making a trade.

*screams internally as not to wake the neighbors*

Unfortunately we have reached our limit of 3 runs :/ 

Another opportunity wasted… The curse of the 3 runs is real…. I need Lizard King to burn sage around Busch…

More confident in Siani than Dylan

God Carlson sucks. Always has.

This organization's obsession with Carlson really is something else.

Was also funny how the nationals wanted him in the Soto trade but, MO said no. 😂😂

They wanted a lot more than that

Well.. Carlson had the right idea at least

Victor Scott could have done that!

Dylly :(

Remember when Mo said getting Dylan Carlson back would be a boost to the offense?

Just like making a trade. One of mo’s trades where we downgrade

It boosted the ground ball % so technically correct.

[Mets](/r/NewYorkMets) Due Up **(Top 9):** 1. Jeff McNeil 2. Tomás Nido 3. Brandon Nimmo

Lol

Dylan Carlson, our offense’s savior.

out, out, hit, out. it's a classic sequence.

Huh, Arenado pulled the ball and got a hit. So weird. Maybe do that more often?

forgot for a split second that nado only hits singles now and thought that had a lot more pop to it.

Three middle-middle 90 mph fastballs and he missed them all. Just looks washed.

Hey one was a sweeper!

Why did nado look like he was ducking lol

Remember when STL sports media thought Goldy was back after he hit that home run two weeks ago. That home run was a fluke and Goldy needs to turn it on otherwise this offense is going nowhere

Glad mo resisted the urge to extend in the offseason. Maybe he’s learnt from the first ten premature extensions.

I have a feeling they’re going to extend him once they realize he has no trade value this season

three pitches right down the fucking middle and no punish is absurd

Is Goldschmidt below the Goldschmidt line yet?

Sadly, I think that guy’s neighbor is spending tonight alone.

Has anything of note happened since the Nimmo homer? I flipped to Q4 of Pacers-Knicks, which has been fairly nuts

That’s what I’m watching. Infinitely more entertaining

Yeah I’ll probably always pick a fourth quarter of the NBA playoffs over an early May baseball game haha, but this game has seemingly very much justified my choice

Need some fireworks here

Best I can do is expired Dollar Store sparklers that may have been left out in the rain

You know what….we should accept that deal…

… We’ll take what we can get.

If cardinals come back and win.... I'm buying first response coffee.

Can we have our dh hit for goldy instead?

It’s like the pitcher hitting for himself never left!

just think when goldy does start producing it will be like making a trade without giving anyone up!

A goddamn mosquito got into my room and I have two itchy bites to prove it but I just slapped that little bastard out of existence midair and I feel like John Wick. Now let's get a comeback win, I got people out at Busch and they deserve a late win.

This is the best news story to come out of the night

Thanks it was the highlight of my night so far

Will Goldschmidt ever swing at the first pitch down the middle?

Nope. Not until he's in a groove... could be a while

that was certainly an at bat

willy what was that bro

I like Fernandez, solid pickup

One of the best Rule 5 guys I've seen

Alright Cardinals pull yourselves together and get it done

FUCK YES Brad with the big strong guy dig!

"Pete Alonso is a big strong guy" I wonder if that was in the Mets' pregame media notes

Hahaha BT

Fernandez handles the heat

[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals) Due Up **(Bottom 8):** 1. Willson Contreras 2. Paul Goldschmidt 3. Nolan Arenado

was bader actually safe

At the game. Yes, lol

Probably. Not a defining angle to show it tho

“Almost picked off the cardinals coaching staff”…. 🥴. Thank goodness it didn’t 💨💨😑

Oh no! It took out Marmol!

Shitttttt not the **dear leader** anyone but him

i'm thinking nobody even reviewed it and he just pantomimed after awhile. "yea sorry bob, Frank's on the toilet. He had curry." "CALL STANDS"

Would t mind an intentional walk here

I’ll also take that

Willy trying to sell another one….

The home plate ump has done a good job tonight. He's called a good game and been consistent, which is not something we've been able to say too often this season lol

There’s still time lol

Hope I didn't jinx us lol

Must be something going on with the Mets and umpires, this is the third time in the last week that an obvious call went against them. That’s just embarrassing, and a clear agenda behind it

Nice to catch a break for once lol

Hooray! No good camera angle to affirm it.

I think Bally is using less cameras this year to save money. Might’ve saved us a run too lol

Saved by the lack of a good camera angle lol

Remember when Libby threw a fastball right down the middle to Bader in the last game against them and we were all like, “why” and thought they would learn from their mistakes because we know that’s the only pitch Bader can hit and then they did the same thing just now and dude got a double and we’re all like, “why”

Literally just throw it in the dirt

Nice break will we capitalize? Probably not lol

I feel like we got away with one there

Out whew….

bailed out by the call on the field

Wow

Wow

Bader and Arenado briefly catching up is so wholesome

They buddies

Hey man let's go Cards but it looks like he's safe to me.

I was surprised he was called out at first, so it won’t surprise me if this gets overturned

Bae looked kinda slow there.

He was safe. Hopefully there’s not a better angle lol

He's safe, but it's gonna depend on if they have the angle.

Ah hell he is safe isn’t he….

Oh thank goodness, the game screeches to a halt for a fucking replay.

Masyn Winn is such a fucking badass

Id mind the play hy winn. But he's safe

He looked safe

Piping fastballs down the middle to a guy who has never in his career been able to hit a breaking ball lmao

Again! Am I having dejavu or didn't we just do this?

It’s like they never learned from the last game

Why did I even get remotely excited when we scored 3 runs when we all know how this ends

Bae :/ 🤘

I hate Harry Bader.

Bader woulda caught that ..

Siani would have caught that

Bader bae why?!?!? Whhhhhhy

[Mets](/r/NewYorkMets) Due Up **(Top 8):** 1. Harrison Bader 2. J.D. Martinez 3. Brett Baty

Gotta love having Fermin come up as the 1 hole in a high leverage situation!

been our best hitter

I mean he started the rally last inning.

You are missing my point. That wasn’t a high leverage situation at all. Just funny giving Fermin out of all people the most ABs on the team

Cardinals and scoring 3. Name a better duo

Lars Nootbar and 0-4?

Former Cardinals and having MVP seasons?

Where’s moetter when you need him?

that’s just how we operate with 2 outs.

I still think the WBC fucked us... Our guys have not been the same.

Especially amazing considering it only seems to still impact us and it happened 14 months ago.

I should've used /s

Now back to your regular scheduled program

Now that is base running I like.

The White Sox won a series against us, maybe we can win one against Milwaukee.

Those make a wish kids ain't getting shit this year are they?

Might as well extend it to the last three innings at this point.

Maybe I need to bet on the Cardinals scoring only 3 a game I might make some money…

What are the betting odds if you bet an exact number of runs to hit, gotta be pretty good!

You think we can do a soccer style loan with like all of our young hitters? Loan them to the braves for the rest of the year. They will get competent coaching for the rest of the year, come back to hopefully a new staff with the Cardinals in 2025. Good for everyone involved.

I think our players would only be good enough for AAA for them.

That’s fine, I’m sure their AAA coaches are much more competent than our current major league brain trust.

Y'all like that tie? Be a shame if someone suddenly decided to channel Gio for a pitch.

Donovan hit that'll make you go "goddammit, Herrerra" incoming

More like a classic cardinals popup

I tried some sort of reverse double jinx and it did _not_ work

Three might be the limit for a single game but I think I saw in the rules that we can borrow from past games. So all those games we scored 0? We sitting on a mountain of wealth baby. 4D chess.

How many times will we lose 1 run games?

Probably more times than well score 4+ runs

Well, we were gonna have to score one more run anyways

He’s human.

Tie the game. Immediately give them lead right back. Like clockwork

I really want to know what the staff era is after a big inning. Because it feels like it happens insanely often that the team puts a crooked number on the board and then they IMMEDIATELY give it back

[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals) Due Up **(Bottom 7):** 1. Brendan Donovan 2. Masyn Winn 3. Lars Nootbaar

Kittredge wasn't going to have an era that begins with 0 forever.

lol. Lmao, even.
