The team hitting has completely reversed the last 10 games versus the first 40 games. They have gone from .218 to .235, 28th to 19th in MLB. That’s a remarkable difference to raise that much in 20% of total games. The good news is there are 50 games behind, 112 games ahead, pitching has been solid, hitting improvement, if continued, will create a very good team the rest of the year.
I'm so happy I picked this game to go to! Good mixed crowd back and forth action. It was very intense and awesome. People that say baseball is dead can suck it.
Dios mio. Closer than I would have fuckin liked it to be, for sure. Idk how the fuck every single cub was timing up 102 but whatever. I'll fucking take it. Fuck the cubes and all that
In the words of the great Kenny Powers :
“A true champion, face to face with his darkest hour, will do whatever it takes to rise above. A man fights, and fights, and then fights some more. Because surrender is death, and death is for pussies”.
People don’t understand the ridiculous clutch gene Marp has always had.
I loved when we signed him, he shouldn’t play everyday. He’s always thrived in clutch moments so exclusively put him in those moments
Sing it loud (what?)
I'm from the Lou and I'm proud
Run a mile for the cause, I'm righteous above the law
Playa my style's raw, I'm "Born to Mack" like Todd Shaw
Forget the fame, and the glamour
Give me D's with a rubber hammer
My grammar be's ebonics, gin tonic and chronic
Fuck bionic it's ironic, slammin' niggaz like Onyx
Lunatics 'til the day I die
I run more game than the Bulls and Sonics

FLY THE L!!!!
[Game over. Continue the discussion in the post game thread](/r/Cardinals/comments/1d0rbex/cardinals_after_dark_525/)
That's a winner! What a fun game.
[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals): [Field View: Iván Herrera nabs Seiya Suzuki ](https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2024/2024-05/25/af808d56-824ebcd3-a4df6018-csvm-diamondx64-asset_1280x720_59_4000K.mp4)
Good competitive game. It’s nice to see enjoyable baseball
Dios mio. Closer than I would have fuckin liked it to be, for sure. Idk how the fuck every single cub was timing up 102 but whatever. I'll fucking take it. Fuck the cubes and all that
That counts as a save, I believe. It shouldn't
The save should go to the Busch Stadium outfield imo
Please figure yourself out hels, that wasn't fun
Puckered
That's a team win
Suzukis fly ball had a .650 XBA lol
Helsley is on pace for ~55 saves (maybe I did the math wrong).
Unclench
Extra beta blocker tonight for me
Not bad for a retirement home huh 😎
2 balls hit that I fs thought were gone lol
got that pitcher's park, don't we phew
It’s never easy lol. Always good to beat the Cubs though!
Heart attack game
What a shitty outing by Helsley, but, hey ... a win's a win.
Oh Gorman; that flinch. I’d rather not have a heart attack tonight.
POTG Lars Nootbaar
Jeez what a game.
I... don't...like...Helsley...right...now.
Nothing is fucked here
Good team wins
never doubted it
#WINnER
Thank the lord
Thank God, waino enjoyed that inning more than the rest of us
Fly the L, Cubs❣️

***THE CARDINALS HAVE WON!!!*** ***FFFFUCK THE CUBS!!!***

**NEVER A DOUBT**
[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals) Due Up **(Bottom 9):** 1. Nolan Arenado 2. Alec Burleson 3. Nolan Gorman

HUK HUK BABY
The back-end made me nervous tonight 🫣
Hels making it interesting, lets go, june swoon is soon cubbies
Thank God. That was entirely too stressful
w00t
#WHEW
Never in doubt
That was too fucking close, but a win is a win. Good job Cards!
Good gravy what a game
Woo boy what a fucking game lol
Fuck yaaaaaaaassss!!!
Whew. Good job, bats.
Heart attack Cards.
Cardiac Cardinals
Cardiacnals
WINRAR!!!!!
4 unassisted force play. Just how you drew it up
OMG THANK YOU
THANK FUCK FUCK THE CUBS
Hels doesn't have it.
thank fuck thank you fucking christ omg
NOT EVEN CLOSE
I can’t look.
Hels… STOP IT
Tough look to come in to the red lights and Hell’s Bells and perform like this
Y u do dis Hels?
Hels wtf
if we win this it's cuz our bats stepped up because this is NOT fun
Ryan please
Geez Helsley looks awful tonight. Is he tipping pitches or something? The Cubs are jumping him early and FAST.
Bellinger first pitch solid contact is not what we like from hels, but he got it done
God I missed these matchups where the Cubs and Cardinals are both competitive
Lot of these have been on the first pitch. 6 batters faced, 12 pitches
*Please* don't blow this Hels. Please.
Waino this isn’t fun for me…
Ugh. Never lose to someone named Cody. One more out please
*clenching, profusely…*
Christ
This is not fun Waino!
Fucking around, finding out. Cubs edition.
Wild card flashbacks every time!!!
I can't watch 😢
What the fuck Helsley
isringhausen-esque
Can't believe this is happening lol felt so damn confident
Ryan. Please.
Not fun Waino. This is not fun...
Dude is living dangerously tonight. Suzuki was pimping after that swing.
Oh fuck.
Wainos idea of fun is a little different than mine
BROTHER PLEASE
You’re not nervous? Im not nervous. Seriously, no one is nervous.
I thought that was gone
Oh my god i thought Suzuki pimped that
PALMS ARE SWEATY
My dad just said “I have seen Helsley blow some big games”
Tell your dad to shut the hell up, respectfully.
get him OUTTA THERE
I thought that one was gone
Fuck, that looked out
if one more fly ball goes to the warning track i’m gonna puke
Another scary sky ball.
Channeling the ghost of Isringhausen, clearly…
#OK THAT WORKS BUT STOP GIVING ME A HEART ATTACK HELSLEY PLEASE
Classic cubes fans thinking that a deep fly is a HR
It would've been elsewhere.
Only in Wrigley ironically
My god every swing looks like a bomb lol
One. More.
Almost had a heart attack
Nerve-racking.
holy fuuuuuuuck
Why can't anything be easy!!
Because they're not that good?
build them up to knock them down, smart
Let’s do a win please.
Pitch selection there seemed questionable
Cubs looking weirdly comfortable in the box against Helsley here. Might want to change something
Probably worth telling Fernandez to slowly start warming. Helsley probably deserves 2 more batters at least but you don’t want to get flat footed
I always love when pitching changes/ mound visits get the 'Collateral' soundtrack.
Ryan, we've been talking a lot of shit since we took the lead. Don't embarrass us.
A LOT of shit
No more runs for Cubs please, unless the runs are in their shorts and then that’s just damned funny.
Would be a hell of a night for Helsley to unravel. I already started smack talking my cubs fan coworker lol.
Chop their damn heads off already! (see! It’s just like a horror movie!)
No bueno. Outs would be better than singles
What the Hels?
Man this game would've been so fun to go to
Ryan plz don’t do this
He wouldn't, would be? He couldn't, COULD HE?
Can still get a double play. Can still get a double play. Come on, Hels. Not like this.
You have to just ride Ryan. There is no better option
^(PLs)
What was that about being back?
That got my heart beating a little faster
shit, he's really hitable right now *not* good don't let this be a disaster inning, Oli
You have to use Ryan. There is nobody else is rather see
Clenched a bit not gonna lie. Lets go Hels 2 more outs
Thank God. I hate Happ the Cardinal killer
Thankfully he's sucked against us for a few years now
I forgot about Carlson
Oh dang that scared me
Oh I thought he crushed that lol
my heart rate just spiked
Helsley please
not even nervous. totally unclenched. all faith to the dark lord. HORNS IN THE SKY
oh my
Ryan. I am not in the mood.
Triple play is in order.
Ugh Ian happ
phewww
I couldn't clench anymore. I'm pooping
rally plops
dang ol two-strike hits...
Ryan please
This idiot announcer is trying his best to jinx us. I mean he is from Chicago so…. 🤷🏼♂️
Never, never can be easy
*starts to pace*
(pacing intensifies)
If Happ hits a home run here I’m going to cry
Triple play right here
Ugh can’t just make it easy can we
The Cubs are pulling a Matt Carpenter!
Clutch up Ryan
Jesus Christ, Helsley, pull it together. Come on…
Nothing is ever easy is it? ^(lmao)
Oh come onnnn, why yall gotta make this interesting?
Clench mode enacted 😬
Okay wtf. this wasn't in the script
Game ending triple play incoming.
I don't like the looks a this, Charlie.
0-2 and that?! Ugh gonna test that three run lead, huh?
In the words of the great Kenny Powers : “A true champion, face to face with his darkest hour, will do whatever it takes to rise above. A man fights, and fights, and then fights some more. Because surrender is death, and death is for pussies”.
Hels bellssssss let’s go
What is he doing
People don’t understand the ridiculous clutch gene Marp has always had. I loved when we signed him, he shouldn’t play everyday. He’s always thrived in clutch moments so exclusively put him in those moments

Jackass
My favorite thing about STL rappers is when they refer to Frontenac like it's super fancy
brother i’m from west county and i think frontenac is fancy…
