GDT 5/16: Julion v Waino

[USMA76]

Masterful play by Bader.

200 IQ Cardinals bring in their closer to face a relief pitcher down 8.

He hadn't pitched in 6 days, they likely wanted him to get the rust off tonight than blow up next game going 7 days with no games.

I get wanting to get a guy work, I don't get making a pitching change against a reliever with one AB left. Too late.

Dawg... he better be OK.

yea warming up and one ab against a pitcher might not be enough, but better than nothing after going that long. They should've got him a full inning before hand to guard against rust IMO. I don't like my closers sitting 6 straight days.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Huge win with the Brewers coming in. I hope Acuna is OK.

 

[Braves1976]

Good to spank them in a series winning game after that 14-3 spanking they gave us in game one.

 

[Heyward]

1.5 back despite everything, tough series coming with the Brew Crew.

 

[CyYoung31]

What happened? My tv cut out right as Acuna was going up for the catch.

We outscored them 14-2 the last two games. So we made up that RD deficit and then some.

Yea that's good too. i am just glad to blow them out one ourselves as a parting shot after that game.

If we can beat the Brew crew we will have a decent track record against some very good teams not named the Dodgers. We beat the Cubs even though they weren’t playing great at the time. Then beat the Indians, Diamondbacks, and Cards. Of course we also lost to the Snakes and the Phillies beat us (not sure we would see the same result today)... and then the Dodger curse we have to get over.

 

[Acuña’s Bat Flip]

Julion finally gets rewarded!

Dodgers just own us, not sure why but cant ever play well vs them it seems.
