Fly the L baby!!!
WE MAY NEVER LOSE AGAIN!!!
This win changes things. It *will* boost team morale and confidence, considering it looked like a loss going into the seventh inning. Also, we are more than capable of winning the series tomorrow.
Best 3rd Catcher in baseball
Holy crap that slo-mo replay of Pozo’s bat flip on r/baseball is majestic.
If we had 2 more average starting pitchers we’d be in 1st place.

Polo’s three run homer in the eighth gave the Cardinals the W. 😀💪🏻

In person, I don’t know what I relished more, the bases loaded strikeout of PCA (jeez they are all over this kid’s nuts), or the palpable disbelief after the Pozo Home run. The answer is Pozo’s HR! Let’s go, Cardinals!
22 of Cardinals 48 wins have been come from behind.
Savior of the season may just be Yohel Pozo, just like we all assumed in March
And Fedde is on the mound tomorrow . Bright side is Pozo hit that ball out of the damn solar system
When will Fedde and Mikolas be gone, for real?
Pozo did the Dub
Cardinals had 13 hits, 8 with 2 strikes, 4-8 RISP. Complete turnaround with everything that was wrong the last 4 games.
So happy about Saggese, he was in a 1-21 slump and went 2-4, 2 huge clutch RBI’s, threw out runner at home with big defensive play.
THE POZO GAME
That was certainly a fun and exciting rivalry beat down
Pretty clear apple juiced the cubs baseballs last night for views. Glad we are back to normal now

The vibe
Can Pozo catch every game that Sonny doesn’t pitch?
A LOT of shit talkers disappear when we win. I find it both absolutely hilarious and pathetic.
Being optimistic and then going to a losing game thread will get you virtually spit on by these twats. And each one emboldened by the upvotes they get from their miserable cohorts.
But when you WIN a game and y’all don’t even come to celebrate what’s supposed to be your team’s victory..? Tells me everything. *Note: if this doesn’t apply to you, then it’s just not about you*
LETS FUCKING GO, BIRDS!!! These boys deserve us to not give up on them. Have some goddamn respect for what these boys are doing in the field, one of the best comeback teams we’ve seen in years.
“If Marmol is so hated, why are Contreras, Gray, and Arenado so insistent upon staying with the Cardinals?”. Not my statement, but food for thought.
Was at the game. Glad I didn’t literally melt for a game like yesterday. Great dub
Should Matz replace Mikolas in the rotation? I love the Cardinals but I’m usually pretty bad at the whole analyzing stats thing.
I really needed this win. Dad had a stroke and calling him about Cardinals games was kinda the thing we bonded over the most.
Who else is enjoying the Savannah Bananas on The Ocho?! …Oh wait?! I mean actual ESPN
Needed this win real bad, good to see the bats come to life- in Chicago nonetheless.
Yay!
I say this totally lacking in irrational exuberance, this is a game we would have lost last year.
Pozo, Gorman and Burly hitting bombs in Wrigley 🤝🏻
Me hitting bombs on the golf course today.
Don’t ask about my irons or putting though.
