Yermin chases so many bad pitches early in the count. Then when he goes to his 2 strike approach he swings at even more junk and can't hit pitches in the zone that well. It's why he hasn't hit for much power outside of his hot streak in April.

Gant keeps pitching himself out of trouble...

With Madrigal up and Gant throwing a lot of grounders, you need to.

Williams' defense saving the Cards so far.

That was crushed.

Zack...what are you doing?

Nah the one to Jose was a sinker in on his hands. I'm sure Jose read that as fastball inside and it sunk in on him.

Yeah I had a feeling we were gonna bail him out after he threw 8 out of 9 balls. At least Yermin hit his ball pretty well.

Carlos threw every pitch right down the middle to the last batter and he couldn't touch him.

I'm actually surprised he's that fast. I never thought he was extremely fast before, even in his first go around with us.

92.7. xBA of .510. Yermin hit it well, just in the wrong spot.

Inning should have been over the play before that. We got lucky Yermin even got to hit in the 1st.

Now I see why Gant has a 2 ERA lol

Thank god Gant messed up the throw, cause Jose really helped him out on the first pitch.

Gant can't find the zone...now watch Abreu swing at some balls out of the zone.

Yeah, I think we were at like -11 runs after April.

Yup, all the worst calls went against us.

Somebody needs to yell left for ass or right for boobs to him like somebody did with Liam and Castellanos.

Jose taking advantage of the eplipetic lights to make sure nobody gets a clear view of his boob grab.

Is O'Neil out for a while? Bader should be back in 1.5 weeks.

Yeah I remember thinking how the hell we were 13 games over .500 that year. The bullpen was nails until the Texas game and Mat Latos was somehow getting it done in April while barely throwing 90. There's a reason why we tore the team down after that season, outside of the core of Sale, Q, Abreu, and Eaton it was just a bunch of random veterans who played above expectations in April and then came crashing down to earth.

The bullpen completely blew up after that game. I still blame Robin Ventura for trying to get by with Scott Carroll in that 8th inning instead of using a better reliever. Especially since he had to go to Matt Albers eventually anyways.

Before Edman fouled off 8 pitches, he nearly had an immaculate inning.

That was 100% a strike.
