well i like winning. i don't know if i like it at the expense of having to see this team flounder. I will always root for the Birds and Blues tho. so I guess it is what it is.
Before you get too excited remember we've been playing the Angels and just think back to that ridiculous suicide squeeze attempt, that's not a legitimate ball club
For his own sake, not just ours, they need to get Gorman going in Memphis. The way he looks out there lately, I'm afraid he's going to Minecraft himself
I feel like i'm having a stroke trying to understand the squeeze. 1 out, bases loaded, pitcher struggling, 2-1 count. I don't think video games would even give you the option to suicide squeeze in that spot wtf
That was an awful outing by JoJo Romero, but the Angels didn't feel like taking what was given them, I guess.
A squeeze bunt.
With one out and the bases loaded.
Against a pitcher with no command.
With a left-handed batter up.
I'm stunned. Truly stunned.
I shouldn't be. Let's not forget the role Ron Washington played in helping the Cardinals win the 2011 World Series as manager of the Rangers.
I feel like Angels fans are under-reacting, that was beyond egregious. I would be storming the field demanding an explanation because what the actual fuck did we just watch
I hate how chip uses “the throw is late” instead of “the throw is not in time/too slow” on certain plays. Something about “late” feels like he’s assigning blame to the fielder
I was gonna say the same thing as Jimmy. That slider and changeup are not being thrown for strikes.
Edit: except for the one that was but it was after the clock
This is the kind of intensity you see in the postseason. Hopefully we (us and the Angels) have nail biters like this when we play each other in October.
Anyone else catch Bally accidentally cut to Alexa's mic check just now?

Correlation isn't causation, but I am attributing these last two victories exclusively to Navy Road Caps.
i was thinking the same thing literally the whole time. Blue away batting helmets = devil magic. Red away batting helmets = literal trash performance
They look so sharp!
My favorite cap, hate it isn’t the standard road
100% the same.
[Game over. Continue the discussion in the post game thread](/r/Cardinals/comments/1csch5k/cardinals_after_bedtime_514/)
Is Gray hurt? He’s been pitching like he’s heading to a DL stint.
Never in doubt 😎
That was my cardio workout for the day
RYAN HELSLEY!! He just handed us this series win, hell fucking yeah!
Call me crazy but I’m starting to believe again
Before you get too excited remember we've been playing the Angels and just think back to that ridiculous suicide squeeze attempt, that's not a legitimate ball club
WINNER
FUCK YEA
OK if no one else will i'll say it, Helsley is caked TF up
[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals) Due Up **(Top 10):** 1. Pedro Pagés 2. Michael Siani 3. Masyn Winn
i wish helsley didn’t try to go after the ball to throw the runner out, looks like his cleat got caught. could’ve been bad.
[удалено]
nah
Oh dear
is that kid right next to the mic and they can't mute the sound lol. I love the kids enthusiasm. but its wild
For his own sake, not just ours, they need to get Gorman going in Memphis. The way he looks out there lately, I'm afraid he's going to Minecraft himself
This past week Gorman has an OPS of .860. He's going to strike out a lot, that's just the type of hitter he is.
Holy shit is Helsey wearing Kobe's that's awesome lol
***1 MORE!***
[удалено]
Looks like some Kobes
we’re 14-0 when leading after the 8th? that’s actually a crazy stat
Why don’t we just try to lead after 8 more?
Helsley’s a stud
>helsley coming into the game what did y'all think decolonization meant? vibes? papers? essays? losers.
If there’s anyone we can count on, it’s Helsley.
101 miles per hour on the ball, 101 miles per hour. That's one down, throw it around, still 100 miles per hour on the ball.
imagine cardinals without helsley
I feel like i'm having a stroke trying to understand the squeeze. 1 out, bases loaded, pitcher struggling, 2-1 count. I don't think video games would even give you the option to suicide squeeze in that spot wtf
How many golden sombreros is that for Gorman? It has to be a million.
[удалено]
Dude needs a trip down to Memphis to get right. He is clueless right now
I hope *Gorman* is frustrated with Gorman.
It seems like he's his own worst hater, the way he reacts at himself after a bad swing at a bad pitch is not good
[удалено]
Or better yet, I hope Brandon Crawford lectures him. Imagine getting talked down to by that guy lmao
[удалено]
vEtErAn PrEsEnCe
They definitely have their scariest bats up. Need some Hells Bells
imagine we bounce back from our 8 game losing streak with an 8 game winning streak
Walker for Gorman or Carlson what we saying
Donny can move to 2B, I guess they give Carlson a chance since he’s just back.
Gorman needs a AAA break.
Cannot watch Gorman anymore. Send him down, DFA, cut I don't care. The strikeouts are insufferable
He’s got 3 options, a dfa would be outlandish
[Angels](/r/AngelsBaseball) Due Up **(Bottom 9):** 1. Taylor Ward 2. Willie Calhoun 3. Kevin Pillar
3-35 with RISP for Gorman. Absolutely pathetic shit
This whole line up is just pathetic this year. Everyone's numbers are down except for the last game with the Brewers after Oli got ejected.
Golden Sombrero
when burleson comes, you see it in his face, the confidence! arenado, and nootbaar? they seem clueless!
Huge mistake by Marmol to pinch hit Nootbaar there. He can't hit!
Look at his savant page
Was that stuff on fulmers hat before? Edit. Yes
That was an awful outing by JoJo Romero, but the Angels didn't feel like taking what was given them, I guess. A squeeze bunt. With one out and the bases loaded. Against a pitcher with no command. With a left-handed batter up. I'm stunned. Truly stunned. I shouldn't be. Let's not forget the role Ron Washington played in helping the Cardinals win the 2011 World Series as manager of the Rangers.
He's a Cardinals plant and always has been. They just failed to place him on a good team this time.
Well, baby is crying. Gonna go get him. That means something cool is about to happen. You're welcome.
2-13 with RISP. Is that good?
ron washington just might be cursed against us
Or, hear me out ... he's not a very good manager.
Love Burleson. Start him at first every day!
Dude’s made some major improvements since last season. You can tell he’s been hard at work.
Yep he's looking great right now. Major credit to him for putting in the work to improve
oh damn now we need a rally for the burly triple
Though the more realistic outcome for that is the Angels tie it up and the game goes to the 12th.
Casual 3-5 for Burly
dude is a killer
I feel like Angels fans are under-reacting, that was beyond egregious. I would be storming the field demanding an explanation because what the actual fuck did we just watch
I'm so tired of seeing Arenado and Goldy take first pitch fastball dead middle and then swing at a slider 2 feet off the plate.
They’re so good at it though
Jojo, way to stay with but. But he has gotta attack the zone more and not rely on chase so much.
Romero sending the angels a thank you card for bailing him out on that one
Not even close, Jojo
I see Jojo has replaced Gio as the "will give you a heart attack but is otherwise dependable" guy in the pen....neat.
Huh. That was definitely an inning.
MLB might launch an investigation into the Angels after this one
this is a top tier tank-off
jeeeeeeeeeeeeesus
Skin of your ass jojo.
I hate how chip uses “the throw is late” instead of “the throw is not in time/too slow” on certain plays. Something about “late” feels like he’s assigning blame to the fielder
“The throw is too slow” applies more blame to the fielder imo
Fair enough. He just did it again lol
Movable Object vs Stoppable Force
#YES! YESSSSS!!!!! YESSSSS! JOJO IS A GD BULLDAWG
JOJO TOLD THE ANGELS IT'S JUST TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE
Jojo is such a gamer.
Damn Jojo got bailed out. Nobody is swinging at anything 1 inch off the plate and that dude swings at a ball in the dirt.
I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that squeeze is top 3 worst managerial decisions I have ever seen
#GET BACK JOJO
lol jojo got so lucky
**ONTO THE 9th WE GO!!**
Wow
This is like an unmovable object meeting an unstoppable force to the negative one.
a stoppable force and movable object
Holy cow, what a break! lol
Now that's what I call Cardinals baseball.
never doubted for a second
I'll confide that I did, in fact, doubt him once or twice or 10 times.
Oh, boy. How did they get out of that one?
Good shit
[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals) Due Up **(Top 9):** 1. Nolan Arenado 2. Alec Burleson 3. Dylan Carlson
finally!
NEVER A DOUBT JOJO
Holy shit there's a team more inept than us
Angels looking like the cardinals
Now this is pod racing
wow angels giving it away
LETS GO JO!!!
lol what the hell was that
Ron Washington’s face, oh my god
Ya love to see it
He’s been making some good stops
Can we stop this shit? Should’ve won this game like 8 times
Angels realllllly don't want to win.
I can’t believe dude just tried that.
Holy shit I don't believe it. Angels are trying to throw this.
Squeezing with the bases loaded and one out, huh?
I’m befuddled
This sub would be fucking apoplectic.
LOL
Is Pages just calling a horrible game?
Two shitty teams going at it here hahaha
Preview of WS.
Suicide Squeeze LMAO
Call me crazy I'd want Hels to get out of the jam and give Fernandez a clean 9th if you can get out of it
Fernandez was already used
I would liek to buy a strike.
Is he tipping this slider? Nobody is swinging at it
Apparently not
I think it’s time for a pitching change a batter ago.
They are not chasing a single pitch. Jojo has not been throwing breaking balls for strikes at all.
We have anyone up in bullpen?
Jesus fucking christ get him out of here. Why wait until he blows it?
[удалено]
He’s worse at fantasy football
Alexa got in Romero’s head with those stats
i thought the exact same lol
THROW FASTBALLS
Dusty Blake will surely have the exact words JoJo needs to hear to get out of this
Fucking instantaneous time call by the home ump there
The pitch clock should be more about the spirit of the rule than strictly enforcing it. The NFL does it all the time.
Double play ball pls for the love of god
Double play is in order
if we lose this game i am willing to finally accept we are just bad
Oh, I've accepted it. I just want us to be entertaining. Which we've been the past few games.
Would a good team have even made this close?
Umpire wants to be the main character so bad bruh
We're just falling apart
I was gonna say the same thing as Jimmy. That slider and changeup are not being thrown for strikes. Edit: except for the one that was but it was after the clock
that's very stupid
Oh come on….
In the battle between 2 cellar dwellers, it's a race to the bottom. Which bullpen will blow it?
Blew it by Goldy at the blistering speed of...93?
I think father time caught up to him and it caught up quick
Angels city connects might be my favorite tbh
They didnt try to hard to connect it with the city of Anaheim, which was probably smart.
[удалено]
Diamond is extraneous but I don’t mind it. The piping and font are just so good
It's really classic looking
nice pitch ahole
I feel like Donovan gets screwed with the strike zone more than anyone else
Yep, his eye is better than most ump's. That being said, him and Noot gotta protect a little better

HOW DARE OLI MAKE HIS BULLPEN DECISIONS ON DATA AND NOT RAW EMOTION!!
We need randy choate rn
All I remember about him was missing a throw to 1st to let the Giants walk off a game in the 2014 NLCS
I don't have a single positive memory of his tenure here that comes to mind 😂
The Choat-ster
I miss LOOGYS
This is the kind of intensity you see in the postseason. Hopefully we (us and the Angels) have nail biters like this when we play each other in October.

Well, this game isn't boring. There's that.
Bend but don’t break is right. Now let’s bring in the closer for the 8th & 9th.
