Urias benefits from Cardinals pitchers inability to throw a strike for a 3rd time. Can someone walk their way out of a hitting slump? I hope so.

 

I take it back, box score briefly showed 3 walks but it's only 2 for Urias.

 

First walk for Urías was an IBB to bring the pitcher to the plate.

Vogelbach has that John Goodman, Babe Ruth swing.

Biggest problem is we needed to tack on a run or two here and there. Can't just get to 7 early and think we are done. Multiple times the cards have been one at bat away from making this a 1 run game.

That has seemed to be a fairly common issue over the past two seasons before this one. Might be somewhat anecdotal, but I recall numerous in-game threads with that same complaint about not tacking on runs after scoring a few early inning runs.

Search "pour it on" to find those.

Or ask Coach Carter.

I know but Ponce de Leon was wild too which got him into trouble in the first place. That was more my thought on that.

Coach Carter was definately a fan of "pouring it on," especially against teams that were "not ready for the bright lights" yet.

We have the best catching duo in the majors.

Pina sporting the 1.033 OPS. Not bad :)

 

Someday he might catch up to Narvaez.
