Don't worry, they'll still blow it. They will..

"This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

Why are they giving Gyorko fastballs? Come on, now.

 

And it is a fail besides giving Gyorko a meatball via Feliz. Fail by the pitching coach and the catcher for continuing to request the wrong pitch constantly. So many times they make questionable pitch selections.

Perez has just not inspired confidence.

 

What did Perez do? Not understanding here...

 

He means Feliz.

 

Thankfully no serious contact there. Good win, these aren't going to be easy unless we're playing the Reds.

As annoying as Feliz is, the rest of the pen is a dumpster fire as well. At least with Feliz there's track record and someone might bite on a trade if he gets it together.

With a three run lead you throw strikes and make them beat you. Solo HRs don't hurt. Nibbling on the corners and walking a couple of guys is the last thing you want to do. Feliz did his job.

What has this clown done, other than cash a big paycheck every week, to be considered our closer?

 

This is a whole other conversation, but in my opinion the 'closer' is one of the most overrated and silly positions in professional sports, and it blows my mind that most teams continued to be married to one year after year like sheep, and pay highly disproportionate prices for them.

 

In our case I would guess we are hoping that we can take advantage of that and sell Feliz at the deadline, but I don't have a ton of confidence he's going to be worth much.

Clutch offense bailed out the team tonight. Hate seeing the four-run leads evaporating, but that W in STL looks good.

 

Those were two mammoth HRs tonight by Villar and Shaw. Very sweet to see those swings from the left side of the plate. Just needed a Thames homer for the lefty hat trick.
