Bader Talkin’

Baseball Sunday:

“Front office knows what

it’s talking about,” quipped

Bader, whose fourth-inning

homer was part of a seven-

run frame and his own two-

hit day, alongside a walk.

“We’re just a bunch of

young players looking to go

out there and play hard and

contribute. That’s really all

there is to it.”

CINCINNATI — Game #100 of 162 and back to playing .500 ball!

CIN/3 was the first leg of this road trip. Now we’re off to CLE/2 for the final leg.

CIN really has had our number this season, but our Redbirds were able to avoid the sweep and salvage a win of this 3-game series. Sunday’s Final score: 10-6!

We (still) haven’t been swept by CIN in CIN since June, 2017.

Johan Oviedo was on the bump for our Redbirds. JOHAN OVIEDO! CLICK2CATCH OVIEDO STRIKE OUT SIX SUNDAY

Ovi has turned the corner as of late. He has been commanding the zone better. He’s a very good rookie pitcher that we have come to depend on during this 2021 “beat up pitcher” season.

However, Sunday takes Oviedo to 19 big league games with no W.

Why no W Sunday? CIN loaded the bases in the fifth inning. That prompted STL bench coach to go with STL’s ‘pen Ryan Helsley to get the final two outs (Shildty was ejected in the sixth inning). Helsley got the win. Oviedo continues to work hard and wait. (see STL Game Pitching below for more Oviedo W woes)

STL offense was relentless at the dish! Sunday one of those feast or famine feast days. 🙂

Our Cardinals had a big 7-run fourth inning. Took the noisy, screaming CIN crowd out of the ballgame and knocked CIN starter, Sonny Gray, out of the game. FOURTH INNNG! CLICK2CATCH! CARDS’ 7-RUN FOURTH

We’re one of the top MLB teams in homers right now. no jinx!

Four home runs Sunday:

1) 9th Inning: NOLAN ARENADO! CLICK2CATCH NADO’S SOLO SHOT TO PAD OUR LEAD!

2) 4th Inning: DYLAN CARLSON! CLICK2CATCH! CARLSON’S GAME-CHANGING TWO-RUN BLAST!

3) 4th Inning: HARRISON BADER! CLICK2CATCH BADER’S DRIVE OF THE GAME — A THREE-RUN BOMB!

4) 1st Inning: TYLER O’NEILL! CLICK2CATCH TY’S SOLO SHOT TO CENTER!

STL GAME PITCHING:

START Johan Oviedo Line: IP: 4.1 PIT/STRIKES: 98/55 H: 5 R:3 ER:3 BBs: 6 Ks: 6 HR: 1 ERA: 4.91

Oviedo was in line for his first big league win last week vs CHC.

So close, but we lost a nice 6-1 lead at the top of the ninth. You’re right, no win for Oviedo. Sorry Ovi! It was a tough loss for everybody. L7-6.

Sunday CIN Joey Votto got to us again with his 32nd STL home run. He’s just one of those guys you hate to see come up to bat. We’ve had those. . . Albert Pujols, and then some.

A FUN!NY Moment in Game: CIN starting pitcher, Sonny Gray, had to do a “boot scoot” and rub his butt on the pitcher’s mound to remove a little pine tar found by an ump. CLICK2CATCH & WATCH SAME THING HAPPEN TO GRAY LAST WEEK

STL HOUSEKEEPING:

Mike Shildt: Shildty was ejected (his 4th this season). He’s cool at the game, but takes up for his “boys.”

Yadier Molina: The plan is to bring Yadi back behind the plate in Cleveland (neck strain).

Yadi (day to day) was out the CIN series. Andrew Knizner did a fantastic job in Yadi’s unplanned absence. Excelled both offensively and defensively. Nice job staying sharp and filling in for a player that’s “never out.”
