** Louisville vs. UC SB - Sunday - Win or Stay Home **

Cards have their backs against the wall. All hands on deck.

 

[EasyCard]

Always weird seeing the Cards in the other dugout and bullpen.

 

[Howie Lindsey]

UC SB is working Noah Davis on the mound today. He's a freshman with a 4.67 ERA. 6-4 on the season.

 

[EasyCard]

Always weird seeing the Cards in the other dugout and bullpen.

Change in the batting order. Will Smith batting first Corey Ray second.

 

[Howie Lindsey]

Davis has 8 wild pitches and 8 HBPs in just 71 innings. That's one per 4.5 innings.

 

[Howie Lindsey]

Cards may have just given the freshmen confidence. UCSB pitcher runs through the Louisville lineup 1-2-3 in the first.

 

[nccardfan]

three up three down. Davis also has the one thing I feared, the big breaking ball. Louisville has never been a patient hitting team. Cmon Cards!

 

[Steelers2012]

Both pitchers coming out of the gate strong.

 

[Howie Lindsey]

Harrington comes out dealing. All zeros on the scoreboard after the first inning.

They may have to see that big breaking ball the first time thru.He did throw it for strikes.

 

[earsky]

Good job Drew! Keep em off the plate.

 

[Howie Lindsey]

Tiberi gets a hit, but he gets thrown out at second.

 

[Howie Lindsey]

Tiberi gets busted going to second on a pitch in the dirt. Good gun on UCSB catcher Dempsey Grover (yes, that's his name).

 

[earsky]

Gotta feeling the bottom gets us going today.

 

[nccardfan]

Rosey tried to hold him up. Being too aggressive.

 

[nccardfan]

Bush is a monster. Frankenstein 6-6, 265 lbs.

 

[PushupMan]

Hitting .231 so far in this series (9 for 39). Need to get hot with the bats!

 

[earsky]

Drew working both sides of the plate

 

[Pervis_Griffith]

Harrington is definitely locked in.

We need someone to spark us offensively. I thought Tiberi was that guy. But getting tossed out on a bad throw no less, really hurt.

 

[EasyCard]

Drew strikes out the side.

Cards 0 UCSB 0 top of 3

 

[Steelers2012]

Runs are going to be precious today. Need to capitalize on every opportunity to score.

Runs are going to be precious today. Need to capitalize on every opportunity to score.

I'm hoping for a "floodgates" type scenario --- once we open it, then we just pour it on em.

 

[Howie Lindsey]

Rosenbaum thinking about yesterday, stopped in the base path to let the ball pass and got thrown out at 3rd.

Broadcasters nailing it .... we're playing tight. Rosenbaum tried too hard. Senior made a freshmen mistake there.

 

[Steelers2012]

THAT is the kind of mental error we can not make today.

 

[Howie Lindsey]

Strikeout to end the half-inning. Louisville strands another runner and has two base-running errors in three innings.

 

[EasyCard]

definitely trying to wear this pitcher out.watching a lot of pitches.

 

[earsky]

Without a doubt.He's wearing out the West Coast thing though.lol

 

[nccardfan]

definitely trying to wear this pitcher out.watching a lot of pitches.

I think it is the opposite. They are waiting for Drew to make a mistake. Our hitters are confused and expecting the curveball and watching fastballs go by.

 

[Howie Lindsey]

Cards get the lead runner, but didn't turn the double-play. Now in the bottom of the 3rd with no scores. It is intense here at the ballpark

 

[Howie Lindsey]

Cards miss the double-play the first time, but get it the second time. End of the 3rd in Louisville Super with no scores.

 

[earsky]

Ok,there's a play.Now time to make some offensive plays.

 

[WildCard]

Strikeout to end the half-inning. Louisville strands another runner and has two base-running errors in three innings.

And yesterday's hit by batted ball. Why waste an out to move someone over when you run that poorly from second base.

Peace

 

[Steelers2012]

Nice to see Lonnie Ali sitting beside Tom Jurich at the game.

 

[Howie Lindsey]

Lonnie Ali in the building.

 

[Steelers2012]

YES!!! McKay jacks one OUT!!!!

 

[Howie Lindsey]

Brendan McKay just slugged one over the trees in right-center.
UofL Baseball takes a 1-0 lead in the 4th.

 

[earsky]

There's another play.Who's got the next one?

 

[Howie Lindsey]

McKay homer and Hairston gets a triple. Two-out rally for the Cardinals?

 

[Pervis_Griffith]

Floodgates baby .... Let's pour it on em
