GDT 8/28/22: Braves @ Cardinals - The Rubber Match

[bravesnumberone]

Nice little New York Met hit for the former Met.

91 and Contreras was late as last week

How many rain delays have you seen? An hour is definitely short. Takes them 30 minutes just to get a field ready.

It takes them that long in a downpour like they just had. There have been plenty of delays that are 45 minutes or less.

Ump, I hope your wife is cheating on you at this moment

I'm joking by the way, but that call was bad

Ok, I mean it now

 

[CrazyTrain]

These umps dude

 

[CyYoung31]

We're not winning with this strike zone.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Awful call

 

[msstate7]

We've got 2 Ks looking on balls

 

[jsebe10]

I don’t blame Rosario for not swinging…that’s 4 inches off rye plate and 3 inches low.

 

[CyYoung31]

That was nice of her. Third time I took her deep that night, I was tired from circling the bases so much.

She wanted you to enjoy the only time you’ve circled any bases in your life.

 

[Garmel]

Already 2 strikeouts due to the ump.

 

[USMA76]

I dunno why I hate the cardinals so fckn much…They’re definitely an organization of class and have an outstanding fan base, but I fckn hate these MFers. I feel like they’re the luckiest MFers alive.

I'll tell you why...their fans and broadcasters think they're God's gift to baseball and that no other franchise should even be mentioned in the same breath. Look, they're a great franchise with an enviable history but they're not the New York Yankees no matter how much their propaganda would have you believe otherwise.

Edit: Also, Don Denkinger and the Royals, the infield fly BS against us and "they've been on the wrong end of more bad calls than any other team in history." (I've had multiple Cardinals fans repeat that line to me.)

 

[msstate7]

Already 2 strikeouts due to the ump.

They weren't even borderline

 

[msstate7]

Surprised home ump didn't call that fair

 

[msstate7]

Cardinals have no shot at the WS

 

[CyYoung31]

Cardinals have no shot at the WS

If they get in, the Cardinals always have a shot at the WS. Never underestimate the Devil Magic.

 

[bravesnumberone]

She wanted you to enjoy the only time you’ve circled any bases in your life.

She'll always be remembered.

 

[msstate7]

Home plate ump wanted to overrule that

 

[CyYoung31]

What a play.

I suppose you right. They just don't have the top line starters or overall offense. They have as good a 1-2 punch as there is though in the middle or their lineup. That's it though
