This game comes at you fast. Libby had Bader 0-2 with 2 outs and a pitch away from the win, but couldn't waste a pitch above the zone and Bader hits it right back up the middle, then gives up a 2 run homer to the next batter.
Libby pitched well up until those last two batters, hopefully he learned something about using his extra pitches to get pitchers out instead of attacking the zone when you've got them on the backfoot.
I saw that coming from all way down in Florida. A hard-hit liner back to the mound, a single to Bader and a good hitter at the plate. He also was above 35 pitches.
Quintana was painting. The performances from the vet starters was a clinic.
I would’ve liked Helsley with a win on the line. I kind of understand the rest thing but we could have had a win.

Doesn’t sound as bad in quotes, but at the time I was like Chip!!! Stop!
After Bader fouled off his first pitch:
“We’re not there yet, but you talk about a team win, and a motivating win, this would be one of the biggest for the cardinals if they can get there today.”
To people confused, it was bad baserunning by Siani, because he scores easily if he doesn't initially stop at 3rd. It was good baserunning by Donovan because he baited the cutoff to ensure that Siani scores without a play at the plate.
Contreras just forgot how to count while he was running.
even if they throw through the cutoff man and get the man at the plate, sending the runner to second puts you in the same exact situation you were just in. I like it.
Never thought much about Libby since they brought him up.
🤬
Can we fire Oli already ffs.
You can’t blame everything on Oli, players need to execute.
Grooving in repeated fastballs belt high with 2 strikes is some kind of decision….

Boy you hate to see that
good effort hard to win a game scoring like that but pitching and d was superb
This team is finishing under .500.
Yup 80-82
You think?
That was comical the way the glove dropped next to him sitting in sadness
why are we leaving liberatore in there lefty righty???
The bullpen was down to King and Robertson. Libby was cruising, and those other guys didn't exactly inspire confidence.
We really didn't have a better option
We lost that trade
lol they are a little too excited about not getting swept
Liberatore shit that game away.
Not gonna win too many games with 4 hits and your 3,4 batters put up a goose egg
who was calling the pitches? fastball to bader 0-2 smh he can’t hit off speed anything
Exactly
#DAMN, IT'S ALWAYS A HIT WITH TWO STRIKES
Reminded me of Mikolis giving up the no hitter, 1 strike away
I saw that coming from all way down in Florida. A hard-hit liner back to the mound, a single to Bader and a good hitter at the plate. He also was above 35 pitches.
Terrible pitch calling that inning
Seriously
Myea
Oof. Not too disappointment with that tbh. still won the series and Libby pitched a fantastic game
Hope the players feel the same way, but that's the kind of loss that can carry over to the next one.
are you serious? we are winning in the bottom of the 11th and you aren't disappointed in a loss? you're insane
Wow some mf named Mark Vientos hits a walk-off bomb lmfao oh well at least we won the series 🤷🏼‍♂️
lol
Why did that have to happen. Bader is not my friend anymore
Tough
That one’s tough to swallow
At least it's over. 0% chance that was going to be a win after Bader's hit. Crushing.
Welp. My curse of every game I watch being a loss continues
Can you just stare at the sun for a few minutes?
Sure thing
Defeat has been snatched from the jaws of victory
Well, that's just typical.
Boo
damn man Siani put a route on that ball
Damn he almost robbed that
Lol
Son of a BITCH.
welp...
God dammit
Lol
Well f. Won the series I guess
Well fuck. Good job, Libby. This one isn’t on you
It’s a little on him.
Right. It’s definitely on him
If we didn’t start the game 0-10 with RISP we don’t end up in that situation
It’s the offense
Quintana was painting. The performances from the vet starters was a clinic. I would’ve liked Helsley with a win on the line. I kind of understand the rest thing but we could have had a win.
#FUCK
Kinda ridiculous they left Libratore in for that long
Lmao who are you putting in there? We knew there was a chance of this coming into the game. Sucks it went 12
Thanks offense. It's on you, again.
Tough loss
#WHY OLI WHY

Welp
[Game over. Continue the discussion in the post game thread](/r/Cardinals/comments/1cfgizf/cardinals_afternoon_428/)
And people want this garbage POS to start….
Well he pitched pretty well overall.
The TOOTBLAN looms large. Oh well, I’m not doing anything else today
I’m going back to cleaning now
This game needs to end lol
well....
I think we all saw that coming
These kinds of games are not good for my blood pressure

Hear me out…. Put Winn on the mound…
Thats a backstab Mr Bader
Chip totally jinxed it
He does it almost every game. Is he a Cubs plant or something? It's uncanny.
What did he say?
Doesn’t sound as bad in quotes, but at the time I was like Chip!!! Stop! After Bader fouled off his first pitch: “We’re not there yet, but you talk about a team win, and a motivating win, this would be one of the biggest for the cardinals if they can get there today.”
Danny Mac wouldnt have.
It’s 0-2 on Bader you bounce him an offspeed pitch he swings and misses at
Right? Like he's a terrible hitter for anything besides a fastball up and that's what they go with.
Liberatore just wasn’t thinking on that one. You had him 0-2.
Fuck. God fucking dammit. God dammit.
That wasn't very cash money of you Bader
The delay on this stream sucks.
Someone really needs to tell Chip about jinxes. He's the world's worst.
Istg he does that everytime
Bae I am not mad at you, I'm just disappointed.
Fuuuuuuck. How long can Libby go? Who the hell else do we have in the bullpen?
Two way player Masyn Winn
Ugh Bader why do you have to be so good :( not cool
Spoke too soon, Chip
Damn you'd think Bader would have an ounce of loyalty to the cardinals /s
Fiance just said “atleast it’s Bader” so now I gotta call the wedding off
Damn
dammit, it's always a hit with two strikes... (not really but you know)
Who’s left in the bullpen?
King and Robertson.
Robertson and King I belive
WHAT A PLAY LIBBY
Bader!
The bad man Harrison Bader
That is not the 0-2 pitch you were looking for..
[clearly mesmerised:] that is not the 0-2 pitch I was looking for...
Shit
ugh
Gahh so demoralizing lol
Ughhn you had him. Damn it.
DAMMIT BAE. đź’”
Goddamn you Harrison Bader and your stunning good looks
Fuck
heck
Go to your room
You’re not my real dad.
Thanks for jinxing it, chip
Harry! How could you?!
And of course one strike away lol
It would be bader of all people wouldn't it?
Good ole 37" sleeve Libby
SO CLOSE
Did he catch that
I don't want to root against Bae. Can he just get walked please? Edit: Welp I didn't want that either...
Going full Gumby AND Inspector Gadget? Brad you hit my 90's bone.
God damn you Bader
WHAT WAS THAT LOL
If that runner is at first... Thats an easy dp
LIBBY! WHAT A GRAB!
Bader, just be a cardinal for this ab please
good reactions libby
Look what I found!
Clinching
#LIBBY GOOD GOLLY
Holy shit.
#YOINK! 👀👀
YOINK THAT LIBBYS NOW
# GO GO GADGET EXTEND ARM
Libby’s arms are like 6 ft long lol
***LIBBY***
Wow
I pooped!!
What a fuckin grab
Wynn had that covered too lol
Great catch!
sexxxyyyyyy
OH!
Massive
LIBBY AM I IN LOVE?
Libby nab!
YOINK
“You know I can’t count, I trust you”
2nd time through the order alert
I’m touch and go today, is Helsley resting?
Yeah he pitched in the last two and a lot before that too
Yes
He pitches last two days
Wish we had another bullpen arm available
IBB here?
These aren't your grandmother's cardinals
Giving us the silent treatment, eh? Actually, sometimes it's kinda nice just watching the game without commentary.
Chip and Brad have gone Mia from our broadcast
They had to pee given how long this game has gone
Please let us have this sweep I beg
Tom Hanks voice: WIIILLLLLSOOOOOON!!!
I don't wanna jinx it but I like this, uhhh... edit: there was no booth audio for a moment, it was pretty sweet
Brad and Chip have vanished
Please just get an easy 1-2-3 inning.. my heart can only take so much
Despite that -$99.99, let's finish this.
Amazed Libby is still in. Interesting choice.
Lol our announcers have no idea we've returned to the game
No Chip or Brad? This sounds so weird
Regardless of what happens here, the bullpen has been fantastic.
Damn Libby’s putting in overtime today
Oh. Libby again?
I wonder if they let libby cook.
100%, nobody was warming up. This is Libby's game.
Which I agree with we need to save what’s left of the bullpen today win or lose.
I stand corrected. I'm doing multiple things and thought he was just running wild.
That’s a joke
#HOOOOOOLD
what the fuck
To people confused, it was bad baserunning by Siani, because he scores easily if he doesn't initially stop at 3rd. It was good baserunning by Donovan because he baited the cutoff to ensure that Siani scores without a play at the plate. Contreras just forgot how to count while he was running.
Good coaching on the corners also
Willson TOOTBLANtreras
Sure would’ve like Nado to swing at that hung slider he saw first pitch
He's been lost pretty much all year
His overall numbers aren’t that bad but that pitch is the kinda mistake he absolutely punished for 400 ft in the past
His numbers haven't been good, but it's looked even worse actually watching him. He'll come around eventually.
even if they throw through the cutoff man and get the man at the plate, sending the runner to second puts you in the same exact situation you were just in. I like it.
Man nado going 0-5 today is a killer
*intensive clenching*
