A real-time look at the emotional roller coaster of a no-hit bid.
6/2/18: Sweet Emotion – Wong’s laser marks the second walk-off homer of the series
It's game 3 of a 4 game series at home. Thursday night featured a thrilling walk-off finish followed by Friday's disappointment of getting shutout. The inconsistency of the offense continues to plague this Cardinals team. But today is a new day. On this summer Saturday afternoon, it's 76 degrees and cloudy. We had some rain…
6/1/18: Cardinals prove that four-run comebacks aren’t automatic against the Pirates
Tonight, at Busch Stadium, the St. Louis Cardinals, led by Miles Mikolas, faced the Pittsburgh Pirates, led by Not Miles Mikolas. Would the Cardinals follow last night's thriller by following The Best Pitcher In Baseball to victory, or would the Pirates get lucky? Anyway, I'm tired so this game better not go to extra innings.…
5/31–Cardinals play baseball game to end May against the Pirates
Tonight, the St. Louis Cardinals played their 54th game of the 2018 season. This game is the exact one-third mark of the season, and thus it is a pretty logical time to calculate the team's pace for the season. If the Cardinals won tonight, they'd stand at 90 wins. If they lost, they'd stand at…
All hail our overlords Matt Carpenter and Harrison Bader–a 5/29 recap
Yesterday's game was a drag. This game feels inevitable to be better. Let's check out the Cardinals lineup. https://twitter.com/Cardinals/status/1001578953453252614 As a noted Jose Martinez At First Base Yeller (as well as a Jose Martinez In The Batter's Box Appreciator), I'm doubly disappointed that the Cardinals have made the rational move and moved Matt Carpenter to…
The Cardinals and the Pirates played a baseball game and here is what happened in it
First things first: This might be the last STL Bullpen post for a few days. We might do recaps, we might not! We don't have any planned non-recap posts until Monday. If something major happens, we'll probably write something. But it's a three-day weekend for us, too, sooooooo... Here were Friday's lineups: https://twitter.com/Cardinals/status/1000119358780211200 https://twitter.com/Pirates/status/1000134153487216641 Whoa,…
An extremely brief game recap
There once was a closer named Bud, He entered and it was a dud, '18 Royals are depleted, But the Birds were defeated, At least Wacha was a stud.
5/22–Cardinals and Royals play a game of baseball
Hey gang, John here. I won't lie--I'm kind of tired right now so my approach on this recap will be pretty...direct? For those of you who are entertained by my rambling, stream of consciousness style of recaps, you may be sad at the brevity of this recap. For those of you who find my style…
Recap 5.21.18: Mikolas Cruises to CGSO as Cardinals Clobber Kennedy
I just love Miles Mikolas starts. He works quick, throws strikes, induces a ton of bad contact, and absolutely refuses to walk guys. He also strikes a reasonable number of dudes out. Tonight, Miles takes on the extremely rebuilding Royals. Insert royal wedding joke here. Just kidding, I don't do jokes. Ian Kennedy, who was…
5/20/18–a Cardinals and Phillies recap
Jack Flaherty is love. Jack Flaherty is life.
