Going to be a wet weekend, so it looks like they will start early today with a doubleheader (2pm) and if they are fortunate enough to get the games in, game 3 will be Saturday also at 2pm.

They might get one in today - that would be great. Two would be a miracle. Saturday doesn’t look doable (at the moment).

I was thinking the same thing myself. It might take a miracle to get 2 in. This series could take every inch of the next 3 days to get in.
Btw,@PushupMan,I noticed the baseball thread on the premium site alive and well. Does anyone over there have any idea if Detmers' injury is gonna cost him the season or not? Thanks

 

[CardX]

Game time moved to 2:30. I agree with the rest of you. Getting 2 in today is a loooooong shot.

 

[CardX]

Hold up. First pitch now at 2:45.

EKJr figuring it out at the plate. Great DH option if he stays focused and disciplined at the plate.

 

[CardX]

I shall bend the knee to King.

It's pouring in JTown right now. If it heads Patterson's way, I would expect a game delay.

 

[CardX]

I suppose the game is in a delay? Game stats haven't refreshed in a bit. I'm unable to listen or watch the game.

7-0 Cards. Lucas just launched a 3-run HR. BC pulling their starter. Cards need to work quick. It is a moral imperative to get a complete game!

3d inning, finally. Forbes has lost some control. Seems like he spirals quickly. He just needs to relax and not worry about making a mistake or giving up a run. He has given up 3 in this inning (just had a wild pitch) and 2 runners on-base.

Patrick not as effective with that slider in the conditions today I think but man he's a gamer.

Happy to see King get it going-another weapon 💪

I've lost me feed

Moth was saying the 23 minute weather delay plus the long, high scoring inning by the Cards got Forbes out of rhythm.

Moth with a brutal take on the bullpen.

 

[earsky]

Catastrophic that!!

 

[earsky]

Sticks!!

 

[73Card]

For those not listening to Moth.....He went off on the 4 pitch walks to the bottom of BCs lineup. Pitches he described as not "even being competitive". Also went crazy [again] on the pen arms not finding the zone the entire game.

He’s like the rest of us, tired of the pen being a weakness.

Wow! Game 2 and we’re on our 12th batter in the bottom of the first inning! Oops - I jinxed Rose, so we’re only up 8-0!. 😂

Its now 9 to 4 in the 3rd because the Cards pitching is bad, very bad.

Given up two opposite field right field home runs - almost exactly the same spot both times. Don’t see that very often!

 

[Bardman]

Extremely happy to win game 1. Amazed we are in inning 4 of game 2.
Eberle is pitching pretty well IMO. Still don’t like EJK in the OF. That first game…I mean, it just comes down to inconsistency with the pen. Gotta find those guys they can rely on.
I think Hoyt may be done for the season. Lessman has disappeared. Biven MIA.

 

[PushupMan]

Freshman pitcher Eberle is battling - his first start! Doing a great job of throwing strikes in this game. BC is hitting a few of them (5 hits including the 2 home runs), but with the big lead he’s got, Eberle is doing a great job of limiting the walks - just one through four innings.

Lucas = BEAST MODE ENGAGED 👹👹👹👹👹👹

Yeah, we all know that the pitching out of the pen is bad and you've nailed it. It looks like Mac and Williams are moving on in another direction away from a lot of the vets. This is what we were talking about, the offense carrying the team while these coaches can figure out who's gonna be a big part of the bullpen in the second half of the season...and they are.
Offense carries this team until these youngsters get game experience and some moxy.
As far as Biven, I would expect to maybe see him tonight. Idk,maybe he's hurt too.

 

[PushupMan]

Freshman Schweitzer on in relief of the freshman Eberle. 13-4 Cards -the youth movement continues!

Where'd he pitch? Trinity?
