We could use a blast right here Masyn
Pure ass
[Royals](/r/KCRoyals) Due Up **(Top 7):**
1. Vinnie Pasquantino
2. Salvador Perez
3. Jac Caglianone
Please stop throwing everything down the middle
50 doubles, 20 triples in one season??? I knew Stan was the man but Stan is The Man!
Would’ve loved to be alive when Stan the Man played. True Cardinal right there
Sure Stan was good and all but he never had to face a Dominican throwing 100
[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals) Due Up **(Bottom 7):**
1. Brendan Donovan
2. Willson Contreras
3. Iván Herrera
Watching strikes down two
Can’t wait for robo umps
Fuck this ump in the most painful possible way.
Starting to think we aren’t coming back in this one
Running out of outs 🥺
[Royals](/r/KCRoyals) Due Up **(Top 8):**
1. Nick Loftin
2. Freddy Fermin
3. Jonathan India
I didn’t even see that Herrera ball off the bat, I was sure he smoked it through the infield. No idea how the pitcher corralled that one
This is Three Stooges ball.
Saw on field delay on gameday and was hoping Oli got tossed
Chonky-est catcher in all the land
[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals) Due Up **(Bottom 8):**
1. Nolan Arenado
2. Yohel Pozo
3. Ryan Vilade
Are we gonna win this game or what?
Nado. Pls.
arenado speed
Arenado makes that play
I’ve never seen Nado beat out so many singles but he’s been running hard as heck lately
Gorman striking out? Color me shocked.
This dude in the bullpen is an absolute weapon
[Royals](/r/KCRoyals) Due Up **(Top 9):**
1. Bobby Witt Jr.
2. Maikel Garcia
3. Vinnie Pasquantino
We suddenly suck. Caught lookings or flailing
pain
Tigers fan checking in: why’s your play by play guy sound so fuckin stoked when your boys strike out? It’s weird.
This sub needs to allow gifs because boy i have many id like to use right now >:(
Sir, Gorman is hitting .190, “well he hit a home run this week.”Sir, Gorman is hitting .180, “well he hit a home run this week.” …. “Sir, he has only hit 2 home runs all year…” Bring Fermin or Saggese up
Everyone loves a nice comeback, we just can’t be putting ourselves in this situation that often. That being said, let’s get another one!!
So tired of ppl stealing second 🙁
Close. Too close.
The fact that every team has dudes who steal EVERY time they’re on base but VS2 has the yips just infuriates me
Pop off! He popped off!!!!
Edit: New York needs to put their Cardinal red glasses on already
meh
Can’t they add some sensors into the bases to have them light up when one or two players are making contact with it?
[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals) Due Up **(Bottom 9):**
1. Lars Nootbaar
2. Masyn Winn
3. Brendan Donovan
Now would be the time to fuck everybody. Top of the lineup let’s goooooo!!
I am straight up not having a good time
Well that was an uncompetitive 9th inning. Le sigh
[Royals](/r/KCRoyals) Due Up **(Top 10):**
1. John Rave
2. Drew Waters
3. Kyle Isbel
38 runs give up in…. Their last 6 games is horrific.
Pitching needs to figure it out fast
These are series you have to win. Now you have to play L.A
[Game over. Continue the discussion in the post game thread](/r/Cardinals/comments/1l4howq/cardinals_after_dark_65/)
Sigh. As much as I love Willy, I also dislike talking big when you can’t back it up. He has, but this team is not that great. We lost 2 of 3 to the Royals at home. The Royals aren’t good.
