CARDINALS FINAL 9/21/16

Final R H E

Cardinals 1 8 2

Rockies 11 12 0
- W: Marquez, G
- L: Weaver, L

DENVER — Yup, the unfortunate happened Wednesday afternoon. We were totally overpowered in the STL/COL series finale. Stagnant in the NL Wild Cards hope.

However, there WAS a bright spot in our 11-1 L.Yes, at least there WAS one! lol LHP Jaime Garcia! Other than Garcia, the game was muy, muy feo/very, very ugly. Muchas Gracias, Jaime!

Click out the mlb.com piece on Jaime Garcia’s bullpen performance. Garcia took over for rookie starter RHP Luke Weaver in the 3rd inning inheriting a five-run deficit (unless you were on another planet, you heard by now about the COL second inning grand salami). Garcia pitched four innings of efficient, fantastic baseball, fanning five (took only 47 pitches).

And. . .this wasn’t the first time for Garcia to shine in the ‘pen. In San Francisco he had another good outing — it was just shorter. It’s sure nice to know we can depend on that consistent, flexible weapon in the ‘pen (nice to get to praise Garcia too. I’m always on the Garcia bandwagon!). He did his job Wednesday and gave us a chance to get into the game. Our offense failed to come through for us. . .this time.

Those Rockies looked good Wednesday. Well, duh! Their pitching was tough on us (starting AND bullpen). Their offense was very productive. The second inning grand slam probably hurt the most – started the damage (RHP Weaver was in). Then, in the 8th inning, more damage with a three-run homer (Bullpen-RHP Broxton).

“It was a fastball in,” Weaver said of the grand slam mistake. “A lot of the fastballs were moving. I definitely needed that two-seam to move in, and it was the only fastball that stayed straight. It’s very frustrating, because I’m trying to throw a pitch to get in there, and for it to flatten out at such a big moment is disappointing.”

In the meantime, the COL rookie righty made our offense looked flat and lifeless (not like the team we’ve seen lately @ the plate). Stranger danger perhaps? Plus, our defense was sloppy and committed two costly, unnecessary errors.

Yes it was a day game after a night game, but we can handle this STL.

It’s time to put on your game face! Put that fear into our opponents. Figure out what went wrong. Improve your game. It’s time to play serious postseason-ready baseball. What happened to that roll we’ve seen lately (I seriously felt something). Get back on it. Wrigley Field is the perfect place to start! Stand strong. We can face anybody they throw at our Cardinals.

After a Thursday off-day, it’s time to rock n roll again. Turn the Page! Let’s end our successful road schedule on a positive note. Take that hungry, winning St. Louis team to Chicago. You know….we played so well on the road this season (mlb’s best road record-2016). That magic is still there. . .somewhere. Feel the power. We’re the flippin’ St. Louis Cardinals!!

Game on!

STL POSTSEASON UPDATE 9/23/16 —

NL Wild Card status: Thursday was an off-day in the windy city for our Birds. San Francisco and New York both games that they won. So, that puts us .5 back in the standings. To keep in the 2016 Playoff mix, we must win too.

Good luck! Cardinal Nation is right there with you every game, every inning, every play! Be strong – only ten games left of the regular season. The Wild Card is ours! You know what we need to do.
