[Music] [Music] [Music] for the red birds at Bush Stadium and Brad Kyle has been excellent all year long he really has Kyle Gibson’s guy that’s going to get you deep into the ball game but he is also going to keep keep you way off speed you look what he’s done here that’s a pretty good list to be on 179 the average against anything other than his fast ball he’ll sweep it he’ll slide it throw the big curveball and the change up they’ve all been effective hugely important start for the Cardinals because the starters quite frankly Brad this week haven’t pitched very deeply into the game oh you’re going to need him to be efficient going to need Kyle Gibson to go deep the bullpen has stepped up but you’re right it’s taken its toll the pen has been excellent they were again last night five innings of one ball BRB at four Innings a game that’s too many yeah that’s not the recipe you’re looking for right but they have been outstanding and it’s more than just the big three at the back end of the pen a lot of guys have stepped up a ton of swing and Miss in this Cardinal Bullpen it’s a pretty day for baseball in St Louis a great day to take a series lead Over the Rockies the Cardinals Flex their muscles early and late last night big game for Dylan Carlson and Company it is game three from Bush Stadium first pitch and lineups coming up right after the break [Applause] for Jim Hay’s beautiful hair Brad Thompson chip carry with you as well here this afternoon as the Red Birds try to take two out of the first three in this four game set and who better to do that Brad than Cardinal starter Kyle Gibson well Kyle Gibson has been a guy that is getting you deeper and deeper into ball games making his 13th start of the year last time out against Houston five and 2/3 ended up giving up three the pitch Arsenal for Kyle Gibson he’s going to sink it sweep it that good cutter keeps the lefties honest four seam change up a curve and the Beautiful Thing is with Kyle Gibson as you know chip he’ll use any of those pitches at any point tough night for Bud Black the rocky Skipper last evening the Cardinal scored early and late pulled away winning 8 to5 and Bud blacks Rockies so far 1 and six in June just 9 and 24 away from Kors field and it’s a different looking lineup for them it’s presented by Ford no Brendan Rogers he injured a hamstring last night and Rogers won’t play today we got to find a way to solve Michael toia not just offensively but defensively he’s had a great first two game kind of tired of seeing that guy to be totally honest with you robbed the Home Run and you’re right three for seven you see the numbers driven in four on the series he had that big triple and then scored on the air that was a huge swing of the bat by him and hopefully here a an efficient one for Kyle Gibson when he’s on the mound I expect everybody to be ready and what a nice it was for Dylan Carlson last night his first three RBIs of the season and he’s rewarded with back-to- back starts in Center on our dobs tire and auto center defense around the horn for the Cardinals no changes Ivon Herrera back behind the dish here for game three Charlie Blackman ready to go for the 22 and 41 Rockies Blackman two hits in the series starts play today batting 249 against Oliver marmel and the Cardinals Gibson last time out three runs in five and two3 innings against the Astros and he’s off to a good start first pitch called to strike by Edwin Moscoso who has the plate for game three today Rockies in their Road Grays Cardinals in their home cream uniforms today and you’re right about Gibson this is a hugely important start for the Cardinals not just for what this game means today but Brad don’t know who’s going to start game four tomorrow afternoon yeah it really is one of those ones you play this one out and then you figure it out tomorrow on the ground and that sneaks past Gorman for a leadoff single for Charlie Blackman so Gibson gets the ball on the ground but Blackman smokes one through the right side it’s a leadoff single here in the top of the first so Brad Watcher toyot a key for Kyle and Cardinal today what leads right into exactly what we were talking about for Kyle Gibson be efficient and that’s uh to me that’s outs early in the count that’s balls on the ground now that one there by Blackman sneaks through but four Innings from Lance four and two3 from Gray need him to get deep you do it by being efficient and the best way to do that is get some DP action here let’s see if Doyle will oblige well Doyle as you know Speedy Runner going to have to to square one up to turn two on him Kyle’s had eight double plays turned behind him so far this year but a fast man as Brad said stands in the way of that one ball one strike for Brenton Doyle the Colorado center fielder who takes time Blackman still knows how to steal a base he’s four out of five this season for Colorado and fouled at the feet one ball two strikes St Louis starts play today two games under 500 it’s a three-way tie for second place in the central Milwaukee with a 6 and 1/2 game lead over the Cardinals the Reds and the Cubs the Pirates are in the cellar seven games back Milwaukee a big win yesterday against the Tigers and like the Cardinals the Brewers are in a stretch of a 3-we period where they’re playing losing teams yeah huge opportunity you look at this series here against the Rockies you drop the first one even things up you hope to take this series do have those pirates that you mentioned in the basement of the central coming in afterwards got to take care of your business right here all of a sudden you could look up at the end of this home stand and uh the central could be very tight that’s the hope for the Cardinals as Gibson ready for a 2-2 pitch for the rocky second place hitter Brenton Doyle and a foul at the plate had him beat but just enough by Doyle to stay alive this guy’s an impressive player 15 multi-hit games last year he already has 16 this season he B it down in the lineup yesterday now hitting second in front of Ezekiel Tovar the pitch roll foul and now they’re making Gibson work here I I must say I’ve been really impressed with what Colorado has been able to do Brad with the longed bats they’ve put together against the Cardinal starters in the first two games of the series that’s not been their MO no it hasn’t bug Black’s team has had a lot of swing in Miss overall a lot of guys that are very aggressive but they have made the Cardinals work I like the idea there chip just not the execution was trying to run that Sinker in after a couple of those sweeping sliders away just pulled that one across so Kyle ready for his 11th pitch let’s see if Blackman takes off he was leaning and draws a throw that’ll be two disengagements there for Kyle Gibson so if Charlie Blackman wants to get an extra step he’s got an opportunity there he goes and fouled away so to your point about efficiency the Rockies aren’t helping matters in this first inning 11 pitches a runner of board and still nobody out especially too you think about how difficult it is to turn two with Charlie Blackman you would think on the move again and that pitches inside it’s Ball Four the throw goes through and instead of first and second Colorado’s got first and third on a bad throw from Herrera that [Music] hurts slider backs up does not catch the strike zone Herrera comes up Fir and just arms side misses badly and that’s frustrating right there should be first and second so still nobody out and the Cardinals another error Cardinals have got to clean things up defensively it’s really forcing the staff to pile up a lot of pitches and stressful pitches at that especially when you play as many tight games as the Cardinals have coming into action today a 960 Fielding percentage for the Cardinals that’s the worst in baseball in June 12 our two strikes he’s in a slide of three for 23 and right now he’s been overly anxious at the plate he’s 0 for eight with four strikeouts and a double play in this series I wouldn’t overthink it here I’d go right back out there line drive in left field it’s one- nothing Colorado Donovan’s going to chase that down but not before Doyle makes it to third the throw is going to come in second and he’s [Applause] out the Cardinals were telling Donovan throw the ball to second he did and he takes care of Tovar who gets an RBI single it’s one nothing Colorado with a runner at third 02 count had him where you wanted to unfortunately hung this one up enough for him to get it but you’re right a nice job here by Donovan he comes up firing at second base and Gorman able to lay that tag on him before he sneaks the hand in so Tovar is 25th RBI he’s out 7 to4 at second and now Ryan McMahon is your batter Colorado strikes first here in the first and leads one to nothing McMahon one for nine in the series infield Creeps in here comes a peg to the plate short hop and it time great pick by Herrera Doyle thrown out four to two and two are out in the inning a really solid job by Herrera behind the plate to stay down on this one hot shot to second base comes up just spiked it gave him that long hop at the very least he stays down gets him by quite a bit at the [Music] plate so a tag on the chin and two her out and Uris Montero is next Montero 0 for the series to this point three homers 23 driven in we’ve seen it from Kyle a time or two this year he’ll sometimes have some traffic in the first inning it’s all about minimizing damage he’s done that to this point down only one and now he’s a strike away from keeping it one- nothing with the Cardinals ready for their first turn well we’ve seen Montero in this series really be susceptible to that break breaking ball away so he had toar in a good count 02 left one on the plate and to make sure this one’s off of it it was and Gibson a nice job to wiggle out of further damage it cost him 20 pitches Colorado though breaks through in the first inning the Cardinals take aim at Ryan feltner in the home first inning wi burles and Goldie coming up here in game three Cardinals Ford offensive lineup no other surprises for you Matt carford to gets the start at DH as we said Dylan Carlson with a big night last night will take aim at Ryan feltner who’s one and five for the Rockies so far this year yeah make it his 13th start of the year and M felter has really struggled his last two times out pitch Arsenal here for Ryan feltner for seam slider change up and sinker every once in a while tries to steal a strike with that curve ball last time out for feltner against the Reds four and a third gave up eight against the Reds time prior to that for and a third gave up five against Cleveland so he has struggled the last two feltner made his major league debut against the Atlant of Braves back in 2021 he had an ultimate welcome to the show moment the first pitch he threw as a major league player was a home run hit by ozie alz not how you plan it be totally honest but he’s a part of History [Music] yep and that’s an honor shared by our buddy Ricky Horton whose first pitch was also hit out and his first big league opportunity it’s a small but very distinguished Club but they got a good handshake got to be something no kidding a [Music] pin full count for Mason win and fouled away we’ve talked about it a lot in the last week what makes mason such a good leadoff hitter is his patience and his Poise he puts the ball in play hits it on a line and knows how a hit already with two strikes it really does 309 is the average and look at that at the bottom of your screen 44 45 slugging percentage in two strike counts so not only just slapping the ball but doing some damage well above the league average for him and he also is a guy that will see a lot of pitches last night he saw 31 pitches in five plate appearances I did the math on that that’s around 6.2 pitches per plate appearance well done don’t check it just in case Mason just swung it ball forward foul that off his body that hurt and we’ll try again three and [Music] two we’ve seen too there’s nothing you can really as a pitcher you think we just talked last inning right Montero and Tovar all right these guys will expand slider just keep going further off the plate the young mason win isn’t going to do that and any breaking stuff at the bottom of the Zone man he’s showing he can handle that really well and we’re starting to see pitchers try to finish him off with the fast ball and he’s got quick hands that’s diami chased and swings and misses that backed up and Mason couldn’t connect and feltner who’s had some first inning trouble strikes out his first batter on the day Breton doy’s a go Glover he anchors their dobs Tire in Auto Center’s Outfield defense in Colorado McMahon toar tryo at second for Rogers who’s hurt and we get our first look at Jacob Stallings as a rocky here in game three behind the plate [Music] Alec burles riding a six game hitting streak he’s also hit an 11 consecutive games here at home burles is 349 in this series the Cardinals in this lineup have two hitters in the top 10 in lowest strikeout rate Burleson’s one of them dur during the six-game stretch Brad He’s only struck out twice and he has the ninth lowest K rate in the league it’s impressive he and Donovan both don’t strike out much look Mason win I know he just struck out here to start the game offensively for the Cardinals he doesn’t strike out much arado does not strike out much I mean this team is tough Decay uh usually yep two swinging strikeouts for felner shows what we know two here is your Kia player profile Goldie on a tear longest active on base streaks in the big leagues this year 24 games here for Paul goldi pretty nice list there to be on see if they can change that look Cardinal never hit home runs in the first I’ll tell you that that would have been nice well you still have time go to a seven game hit streak as well he’s Brad’s pick to click today why not right one- nothing Colorado feltner two up two down gold Schmid hitting third and that buzzed the tower even count Phillies had the first final Victory today they beat the Mets in London 72 was the final score Phillies just rolling merrily along they’ve won seven of their last eight one-1 pitch popped up right side who wants this tro and Montero it is going to be Montero who makes the grab and feltner has a one two three bottom first Rockies draw First Blood here in game three yeah Dylan had been waiting for a night like last night game timeing RBI single two-run double he was hitting 122 with no RBI on the season before that Dylan told me this game will keep finding different way to challenge you he said you have to keep the right mindset and keep working chip Carlson got a nice reaction from the crowd after the double he said it was nice it had been a while it had been uh 24 game stretch without an RBI for Carlson and I love players when they show their emotions on their sleeve the reaction of Carlson when he slid into second base late in the game last night was priceless they came up with the fist pump obviously excited for the team and that individual feeling I’m happy for him to have that and I love the fact that throw him right back out there again see if you can build on that momentum that you carried yesterday Jacob Stallings in his first year with the Rockies remember Jacob came up with the Pirates the last two seasons were sent U spent I should say in South Florida with the Marlins and Stallings hitting 300 this year a pretty good backup option for the young Allstar Diaz isn’t it on the ground to Mason win that’s more like it from Kyle long count but Stallings retired and there’s out number one kids are invited to swing for the fences and play ball during Major League Baseball’s playball weekend June 14th through the 16th every kids invited to join the fun at events across the globe or in your own backyard learn more at playball.org weekend Jake cave has been a patient pest lot of walks and a lot of runs scored he’s walked four times and scored three in the first two games you all of a sudden he’s got like the best eye in the world fouling stuff off he’s taking some really nice at bats little squibber hit toward third Aron’s got that and Cave is out number two so the ground out starting to pile up for Gibson that’s good to see and here’s the villain Michael toia who’s picked up three hits uh that’s what you want to see out of Kyle Gibbs and his missing barrels makes that play look very easy coming in with that glove stab and good running throw Tony has eight hits this year four homers and a triple and that spins off the plate one ball no strikes throw it there they won’t do much with it at 77 milph especially on a one count right looking for something up you can drive he drops that breaking ball in there and 77 then to 90 at the bottom of the Zone this guy knows how to pitch and when he’s got his six offerings working he’s a delight to watch He’s ahead of toia one ball two strikes and harmlessly foul to stay alive that pitch there with that sweep if you’re going to try to come in going to try to bury that thing back foot and he did just that good call Brad second inning ending strikeout for Kyle Gibson he’s got his first one two three frame Nolan Gorman Nolan ronado and Brendan Donovan are coming up in a one-run game a homemade version pretty creative but that’s the original which do you like better look I like them both first of all the effort is there but I’m with you I’m with the traditional there’s something about the legs on that thing you just grab a hold of those bad boys slam it down on your head and say let’s go watch some baseball that sounds like a good idea I’m going to do that after the first pitch to Nolan Gorman and that’s in for a strike can’t go wrong with either one of these by the way not to get into politics I’d vote for the one on the right pretty good crew there couple of good running mates Molina pools Wayne Right got three of them yeah you can do that hey you got your president vice president secretary defense that would be yachty yep I feel safer already yeah right Gorman two for s in the series he’s riding a long hitting streak against Colorado he’s hit in 12 consecutive games against the men from Kors 11 RBIs in those 12 games and Nolan with 14 homers going to work today feltner’s given up nine homers this year and is one and four on the road the pitch is high three and two that’s really been the plan to go to get Gorman down for swing and miss and maybe up for swing and Miss he spit on the last two pitches and now finds himself in a Full Count now you look at what Gorman has done since May 10th which no birthday boy right been pretty good nice present to himself hitting for average getting on base tons of power here slow roller down the first Baseline that will stay foul and Gorman piling up some pitches for feltner who’s out of Ohio State are you supposed to say the don’t don’t they say the Ohio State I noticed that baseball reference it even said the Ohio State now if you’re from Michigan you’re not a fan of that not a fan I could tell go dogs amazing how you took off that headset got it back on so quickly Full Count from feltner is on the way and strike three Nolan knew it center cut at the knees and feltner struck out three of the first four Cardinals batters that’s a little surprising here’s Aron noan no for four in the series but walked three times on Thursday so he’s seeing the ball better now let’s see if he can start to launch when the month of June arrives both he and gold Schmid usually heat up and it is a warm day today let’s see if the Cardinals going to get into launch mode that really is the surprising thing I don’t think it’s surprising to say that Gorman would be leading the club in home runs what’s surprising is that he’s got more home runs than Goldie and arnado combined so here you see it look at the Ops by month for the Cardinals infield cornerstones well hopefully June looks like that in 2024 for these guys the weather heats up they have traditionally in their career two balls no strikes one out nobody aboard and Nolan smacks that toward right toia has got plenty of room and it’s five up five down for the rocky starter and Brandon Donovan is [Music] next two hit game for Brendan Donovan last night he’s got 15 multi-hit games this year when he does that the Cardinals 12 and three that huge RBI single in the eighth just Tak some really quality at bats feltner is filling up the strike zone to start his [Music] day that’s down the left field line but curling out of play foul it’s 0 and two F’s got pretty good velocity today this is a guy that historically has not thrown a big high vo fast ball yeah we’re seeing him 94 to 96 today and he’s moving it both sides of the plate pretty well and he gets a swing and a miss four strikeouts in the first two innings Cardinals down a run after two here in St Louis [Music] Sports after Cardinals Insider we’ll have cardinals live pregame then we’ll have game four the series Cardinals haven’t announced their starter Tai block will go for the Rockies first pitch at 115 St Louis time Allan tro Ninth Place hitter leads off Gibson set down five in a row and trails one nothing Treo came in when Rogers came up Lan with a hamstring he’s going to be lost for a bit for the Rockies that’s a shame he’s a good player who’s been hurt a lot the last couple of years fans might forget that he was the third pick in the draft that saw Dansby Swanson go number one Alex Brigman go number two a pretty impressive run right there that’s shot right field tryo a nice piece of hitting on a 2-0 count that’s the third Rockies hit and for the second time today they have their lead off man on Trey Hope just goes down and gets it and if you’re Kyle Gibson fine that’s what you want you want the ball on the ground you’re going to try to do this same thing and second time up for Charlie Blackman he did sneak a ground ball through the hole in his first that bad for a single come came around to score in that inning on the ground might be two long throw to Second bad throw to midwin at second and all hands are safe that’s two bad throws from Gorman in this game we got an out at the plate this one sails into left field and instead of a double play two are on and nobody out man this ball is hit directly to Gorman two has plenty of time here he He Turned his feet slings its sidearm and just right out into left field this would be a good look at it here yeah nothing Mason wi can do on that one that’s your tailor made double play ball we talk about it all the time pitchers go through slumps hitters go through slumps Defenders go through slumps and right now Brad over this last three and a half week stretch not just Gorman the frankly the whole Cardinals team has been playing with Butterfingers oh you’re right in in large part they’ve been able to make up for it by making that next play and it hasn’t hurt him as much but that catches up and it catches up in stuff like this where Kyle Gibson right now should be sitting here with two outs in the third inning with a low pitch count now he’s got two guys on and 40th pitch coming up on a day when you need length from him with the unsettled nature of the cardinal Bullpen we talk about stressful pitches you as a major league pitcher dealt with that what does that do and how does that affect your pitch count well like it really is just those extra high intensity pitches right the the the brain is racing you’re trying to be quick to the plate you’re putting a little extra on it to make sure you make that Perfect Pitch little pop Nolan drifts out and infield fly takes care of Doyle for out number one so the double play is is still in order let’s see if Tovar can oblige after a quick word from Rally House play ball scene Lewis Shu the ladies than Cardinal Style with your favorite Brands and throwback designs Rally House has gear for every [Music] fan well here’s where the veteran maybe takes advantage of the young player highest swing rate in baseball can to get him to expand get one of those ground balls first and second one out Tovar his 25th RBI in the opening inning he brought home Charlie Blackman pickoff play at second but Treo sniff that out Gibson three starts lifetime against the Rockies he’s unbeaten 2 and0 he Trails one- nothing early today and too much spin on that bad boy one ball one strike since May the 10th Brad the Cardinals have made 28 errors prior to May 10th the Cardinals have been one of if not the best Fielding team in the National League there’s another strike one and two and they really I mean there’s not one reason for it you’re right it’s it’s contagious at times but it just can’t happen with all of the tight ball games that you play in those one mistake that you might make could end up being the difference in the game little Fly ball into shallow Center that’s going to drop in front of Carlson for a base hit and the Rockies have loaded them up with one out so a two- strike hit for Tovar and trouble of foot here with Ryan McMahon base is loaded one out so toar his first ATB got a two strike hit Chevy pitch track here I don’t know how he gets bat to ball on this one just reaches out somehow dumps this thing into center field got treyo there at second had to make sure that thing drops so he stays at third they’ll get a chance to get a ground ball get out of this McMahon bounced into a fielder’s choice and takes ball one two balls no strikes so for St Louis that May 10th day the Cardinals have committed eight more errors than the next closest team 28 for St Louis 20 for the Mets and it’s led to a big mess here in the third inning that helps two balls in a strike McMahon way out front hitters count gets that big slow breaking ball from Kyle Gibson rough day at the plate he did double and score yesterday but also struck out three times double play ball flipped to second one and on to first it’s a redeemer boy did Gibson need that little mini fist pump as he makes his way to the Cardinals Dugout he pitches out of a basis loaded jam and keeps it a one-run [Music] game growth chart thanks to Missouri Farmers care for details go to cardinals.com SL [Music] promotions lot of kids here on a beautiful Saturday in St Lewis the Cardinals just got out of the bases loaded mess in the third inning and now have Herrera Carpenter and Dylan Carlson coming up against Ryan feltner who has struck out four of the first six hitters today swinging butt pitcher will cover and take it to the bag himself good play and it’s seven up seven down to start [Music] [Music] here’s Matt [Music] Carpenter we might need to turn the humidity down on the humidor at the Ballpark Carpenter’s another one of the Cardinals that hit a long ball that on any other day might have been a homer yeah there well there have been a lot of them here recently from the Cardinals putting a charge into some baseballs and they ultimately I mean you won the ball game yesterday but how many hot shots were hit at outfielders yesterday at least three or four in the series for the Cardinals and Carpenter thinks about a bunt not a bad idea no balls at a strike I love the idea there we’ve seen Carpenter do that plenty in the past and what it does even the the thought of it it brings McMahon over at third base pulls him in he’s now planned closer he’ll creep up when this pitch comes and allows you to sneak one through there on that left side right now feltner has all of his weapons on point it’s 0 and two for Matt well that’s the pitch that all season long has been the most effective for feltner that four seam fast ball the slider the opposition came in hitting 351 against it the change up 421 at the curve ball doesn’t get the call Stallings held that for a little extra for Edwin moso behind the [Music] plate so a swing on the house for Carpenter perhaps two balls two strikes and the breaking ball takes care of him that is strikeout number five already and two away in the St Louis third well this time the slower curveball here from feltner you see that tumbling 126 action Carpenter well out in front of it so he’s halfway to his career high of 10 he did that on April 6th against the Tampa Bay Rays this year and a big night for Dylan Carlson let’s see what he does in back-to- back’s opportunities and to check to swing one ball no strikes really rooting for Dylan I’d love to see him build some momentum remember he got hurt last year had the ankle had surgery rehab they came back had a great spring and then got hurt I was in one of the games against AR the Cubs in Arizona right before the season was set to start in La that was the shoulder so it’s just been I’m sure a mental grind along with that physical one here for Dylan Carlson in the last year plus what was so noticeable for Dylan was on that previous swing he was really turning it Loose he was swinging the ball or swinging at the ball with confidence with authority and it was jumping off his bat down in spring training more of the same would be welcome right here he’s ahead of the count two and one and he unloads high in the air towards Center but not deep enough Doyle will Glide to his left and feltner is perfect through three Innings he enjoys a one nothing lead it’s game three on a beautiful day at po Stadium on Thursday he Lov seeing that trying to make his way back from that low back issue ever since Steven went down with that back injury it’s been a revolving door in the fifth spot in the Cardinal rotation so much so that again we’re not sure what Oliver maral’s plans are for tomorrow’s game which is the fifth spot one ball no strikes from Montero and he pulls a string even count a good adjustment there and you’re right I mean look oi depending on how this one goes could have some options Andre Palante has gotten the last couple of nods and he will be available unless used today they could deploy an opener if they wanted to piece it all together kind of just depends how far Gibson goes one thing that will help the card is there’ll be a much needed off day on Monday so you’ll get a little bit of rest for your starters relievers and roster alike but 20% of your rotation at question mark is not an easy thing to navigate when games matter so much Cardinals trying to get back to 500 with a win today and tomorrow and there’s a big sweeping swing in a Miss by Montero Who’s down on strikes for the second time Gibson’s gotten the first baseman for both of his strikeouts so far well look what this pitch ends up I mean this is way away in the other batters box it just kind of tells you how late that thing is moving and how much it looks like a strike coming out of the hand of Kyle Gibson a is really happy with with what Jacob Stallings has brought them offensively last year in Miami he hit 191 he’s a career 238 hitter he’s hitting 300 this season and this is 29th game Stallings a gold glove Award winner he earned that honor in 2021 with the pirates that was really enjoyed his game in his time with the Pirates very good leader back there behind the plate didn’t get that it’s a ball and two strikes his career Homer high in that 2021 season he popped eight of them it was also his best RBI season in the show he knocked in 53 in his age 31 season the one-w pitch swept outside in his Gold Glove campaign Stallings committed just five errors in 892 Innings behind the dish and Gibs it strikes him out back-to- back punch outs two up two down Jake cave is [Music] next here Chevy pitch track another one of those sweeping sliders under the Zone catch them well out in front there four strikeouts now all with that pitch c a former twin Philly and now a rocky takes a little low when Ballo strikes it’s nine up nine down for the Cardinals offense that means Mason wind’s going to lead off the fourth for St Louis their second look at Ryan foner who enjoys a one-run lead the Rockies scored in the opening inning and that’s off Cav’s foot one ball one strike could have said that better I could have said that was off Jake’s foot which is near Jake’s Leg you were jamming out the Jake’s Leg earlier this season phal love it do a nice job need him back there’s a strike time the cutter lands there this time back door for Kyle Gibson I think he’s still trying to work on the FI for that one we’ve seen him pull a couple of those across [Music] two balls two strikes and a swinging a Miss he just struck out the side that’s more like it now let’s get Kyle Gibson some offensive support right guys are coming up 1 two and three on the card four punch outs for Gibson in a one- nothing Colorado Game beat me away and I proved I could take my singles over there now they’re trying to come inside and that’s where my doubles and homers are coming from Chip as for hitting in the leadoff spot when loves it he said more chances to help the team well he’s certainly done that Jimmy 11 straight games with a hit here at home four games in a row with a hit and he leads all rookies in the National League in batting average and hits so far in 2024 and now he’s worked to favorable count two balls in a strike the Cardinals looking for their first base runner against Ryan feltner who’s struck out five of the first nine it was a rare strikeout too in wind’s first that bat of the game and it came on a backup slider if that pitch did what he wanted it to probably would have got him missed his pitch and Pops it up that’s into center field toar is there and makes the over theher grab and there is out number one and feltner off to an amazing start he set down 10 in a row to start the game so let’s see if Alec can break the spell get this guy in the stretch for the first time maybe a big innings in the offing Alex another cardal that’s enjoying the home cooking in St Louis and that’s our American Family Insurance home protection feature at 337 the average here at Bush he’s been very confident we talked about Mason wi off the top I feel like Burley has found himself a nice home right there in that two hole Marcel Ozuna pacing everyone having a big season I’ve love seeing Alec and just get these everyday reps and you’re seeing it seeing it pay those dividends a guy that used to playing every single day is getting to do it now what I like too is we all know about the Cardinals veteran players Contreras gold Schmid and ronado how about the job the young guys have been doing for St Louis they really are taking that proverbial step forward as offensive players you think about wi you think about burles Brendan Donovan Lars nbar went healthy to name just a few well and the fun part about those quote unquote young guys is they carry themselves like they’ve been here a very long time they’ve got that confidence that one is poked towards second and treo’s Peg to First is on the money and 11 in a row have been set down two-way Paul goldshmid is coming up are you watching the game with friends well get a 40 piece chicken McNuggets for just 1199 at McDonald’s [Music] gold Schmid popped up to First his first time up feltner has had first inning troubles he’s had no trouble yet today 11 up 11 down to start 96 in that spot will [Music] work how about 97 you go 96 down and in then 97 painted on the corner I think if I’m feltner I think I stick with the fast ball maybe Elevate one good place to miss though right there with that curve ball right under the Zone Stallings a big Target behind the plate he’s 65 and his glove is just as big as he is the pitch no chase two balls two strikes beautiful panoramic view of Bush Stadium from behind home [Music] plate and the two- two pitch on the ground there’s your first Cardinal hit so an eight game hitting streak for gold Schmid he reach is for the 25th consecutive game Bo went fast ball in fast ball away to get to 02 missed a couple of times this one your Chevy pitch track 97 middle down Goldie just gets the barrel to it and finally gets something shaking here for the Cardinal offense with two outs and the four so you always wonder how does a man react going to the stretch for the first time this deep into the game we’re about to fight out Gorman’s your batter with a runner at first and two out is there an effect does it affect you well there can be right you get in that Groove from the wind up and then all of a sudden you try to get that timing from the stretch and what could happen is you leave something elevated you rush to the plate a little bit and this the wrong guy to leave something up to this score could flip here 2-1 with the one swing of the bat not this time it’s off the end of the bat popped up to straightaway Center Doyle has a ton of room and that’ll retire the side the Cardinal snap the perfect game bid from Ryan felner Paul goldshmid has a single but the Rockies lead where it counts redcrossblood.org for more information or to make an appointment line drive by toia into center field so he’s added again another leadoff batter aboard for the Rockies hey it’s good to see Jamie Rivers who does such a great job on our Bley Sports coverage of Blues hockey he knows a thing or two about blood donations wouldn’t you say oh tell I think he’s probably given a few out over the years great to see Jamie out at the Ballpark as it’s one- nothing Colorado here’s tro he’s singled and tries to bun Gibson nice play he will apply the tag if he doesn’t get it that’s real trouble but IIA moves up 90 ft with one out yeah if he doesn’t stab that you’re absolutely right this is going to be a very difficult catch and then flip to hit Kyle on the run your T-Mobile coverage cam snags it gets in front of it you know best athletes on the field I don’t know if we’ve talked about this in the past little rangy there is Kyle Gibson use those long arms to stab that so it’s a sacrifice toally in scoring position for Charlie Blackman Blackman has struggled away away from Coors Field but not in this series he has three hits and an 11 game hitting streak against the Cardinals the Rockies out hit us 5 to one so far this afternoon we’re in the fifth inning the Cardinals play Blackman as a Deadpool hitter on the infield I can’t remember a time where Gorman and goldi have been that close they could almost shake hands it appears yeah they are bunched up but exactly where you’ve got Gorman standing that’s where he hit the ball last time he didn’t even have to move his feet I mean they had him pegged unfortunately just couldn’t make the throw Blackman made Gibson throw a strike and he did that’s the difference there too with the veteran pitcher 20 you see that right side of the infield bunched up trying to take away that side from Blackman as 2 dropping in a curveball instead of a fast ball Gibson ready with pitch number 69 and it missed High three balls in a stke if you lose him you set up a double play but Doyle’s a speedy Runner he waits next and we’ll see if Gibson can get a ground ball here two on one out and that is Kyle’s second walk of the game let’s step aside now for a quick word from BJC healthcare [Music] Doyle has walked and popped out after 20 pitches in the first Kyle’s been pretty economical since that opening [Music] inning he’d love to for the price of one here out of play right side one ball one strike how big would that be right pitch count here in the low 70s if he could get that one swing of the bat two outs all of a sudden you’re thinking about six seventh inning potentially for him Cardinals third most double plays induced in the major leagues Oakland first Colorado second believe it or not I don’t well Ricky dhy says it it’s got to be true there’s the ground ball hit toward wi Gorman the turn and Gibson gets his second double play that is huge in this game and the Cardinals still down one have ronado Donovan and Herrera coming up here in game three in St Louis tickets to Great summer matchup starting at just $6 for tickets or more details go to cardinals.com McDonald’s well we’ve spoiled the perfect game bid we’re down just a run and Nolan ronado goes to work for the second time against Ryan felner you’ve had a chance to see him what felner is doing so well is just he’s establishing that fast ball he’s throwing it both in and out up and down and then just utilizing some of that off speed off of it I don’t think that any of his off speed offerings are overpowering but they’ve been set up well arado popped out his first trip and rolls one to the left side it’s an even count feltner’s last nine games 0 and four with a seven-point erra you would not know that as a effectively as he is pitched today punched out five of the first nine Cardinals hitters and that’s ball two Bud Black longtime manager with the Rockies two wins away from 500 as a skipper in Denver that is a tough place to play the pitch and the belt breaking ball to Beauty it’s two and two win fast ball up and in off the plate went right back to that slider and then got the call at the top of the Zone felt’s an interesting case didn’t have a great career in college he was 9 and4 with a 488 ER in 34 starts it was a fourth round draft pick yeah sometimes you see some of the periphery things right maybe it was the velocity that they liked or there was definitely something there and you’re seeing it here is another strikeout 95 down and a away to Fan Nolan arado but right generally you think a top five round pick you’re going to have monster numbers out of college not the case but six strikeouts four away from his season and career high today one away for Donovan who punched out to end the second Ran’s also an interesting cat off the field not just pitching but he’s an artist like vocally nope musically nope well I mean maybe he can sing I don’t know but he’s an abstract painter really [Music] yeah you ever get into painting uh finger paint yeah it’s about as as far as I mastered that yeah I get it used to run out of product to be eating too much of it crayons too I know that those are delicious boy aren’t they one one counts swing and a high fly ball wup Tor right toia going back he’s up against the wall and he’s got another one it’s [Applause] unbelievable Donovan just missed a solo home run two outs cars have had four or five Balls to the track toy has already taken one back in game one of this series against Carpenter this one right there at the wall [Music] man I think felt is saying I’m glad that wasn’t at home oh yeah you think 100 milph off the bat but not quite deep enough here’s Herrera two [Music] outs really like the way Stallings coaches his young pitcher after he makes a a well executed pitch he’s pointing that glove at his pitcher hey do that again good job they’re working well in sync not that time though two balls in a strike I think that is the benefit too of having a veteran back stop somebody that that is there that you can trust in them especially with guy like felner I he’s today’s his 44th Big League start not a rookie on the ground to second right at tryo and feltner Dodges a big bullet Donovan almost hit a homer but almost doesn’t count but black in the Rockies lead by a run Ash Clinic Scott Terry does a great job organizing all the cards kid clinics I know you’re going to be involved too yeah they are are so much fun first of all I know they had a great outing in Ballwin a couple of days ago 150 kids got a chance to I’ll be at one on Tuesday in Highland Illinois looking forward to that they are really a lot of fun and whatever the the skill set is of your child whatever if they love baseball they’re going to love this or if they’re interested in baseball they are going to love it you learn a lot and have a lot of fun you’re right Scott Terry runs as good of a camp as I’ve ever seen Kyle Gibson versus toar and pushes him off the plate ball two two balls no strikes 75 pitches for Kyle through five that’s right on point that’s what you like he just needs a couple of runs today he Trails one ZIP High Fly ball that’s trouble and that one one is not coming back it’s solo home run for toar he’s three for three today and has his ninth Homer and the Rockies extend the lead but another hit on the breaking ball it’s down but it’s middle here for toar and all three of his hits have been on this pitch just staying on it really well going down and getting really good lowball hitter PL the tire service pitch track a look at that sweeper and have to change the game plan to towbar maybe go upstairs a little bit that with a 393 footer and the Rockies have the first Homer of this game and a two nothing lead here’s McMahon and in for a strike from an offensive standpoint this game reminiscent of what we saw from the C in the opener just a frustrating day at this point feltner’s been excellent Donovan missed a home run by a foot and really St Louis hasn’t gotten anything going offensively just one hit in the game that gets a call on a change up up right there not where he wanted it the one cut that one across would like to have that down and way you worry about that one down and in at that velocity McMahon could drop the head on it Gibson’s gone six in or more in nine of his first 12 starts he’s down two nothing nobody out in the sixth inning today McMahon with a two- two count swings and misses he’s retired on strikes five punch outs for Gibson and there’s your first out W sweeper ended up burying this one gets him to swing over the top F seen a lot of funky swings on that pitch it’s pretty amazing as as well as players are prepared at the plate to know what the opposing pitcher Arsenal is when you know that pitch is coming and more often than not you still can’t do anything with it that tells you how well that pitch is executed from Gibson you’re right it tells you how much it looks like his other offerings I mean that is pitching right there’s a good example it gets called but that is the Sinker runs it back and then I think you’ll probably see him against Montero run things the other way now get him to swing and miss try to go in to set up [Music] away one ball one strike in the air towards Center Carlson broke in now Retreats and he can’t get it Montero on his way to Second he’ll stand there with one out yeah that hurts right there the first step is in it’s a hard hit ball but one if if you read and react initially it’s an easy [Applause] [Music] play so that one step cost you two on the other side of the play and it deflects off the glove for a double for Montero his eighth of the year and action begins in the Cardinals Bullpen Matthew Liberator starts to play catch with Jacob Stallings up he’s 0 for two with a strikeout this one popped up Shallow right can anybody catch up to this burles will and there’s your second [Applause] out so Stallings can’t Advance the runner Jake cave is next he’s over for two Carpenter Carlson and wind coming up for the Cardinals in the sixth inning it’s a two-run game after the Tovar Homer the Rockies are four for 21 with runners in scoring position so far in the series and right back where it came from into Center mono around third he’s going to score and Cave does it again he’s got his sixth RBI and Colorado now leads it by three now take a look at the pitch Plaza Tire Service pitch track just a sinker left up in the zone and you were hoping that that missed play in center field wouldn’t come back that one narrowly misses Gibson it does come back to hurt that’s going to draw Dusty Blake out to come talk it over with Kyle Gibson and Company so two runs across in the sixth inning Gibson at 86 pitches Tovar lead off Homer Montero a double on a catchable ball in Center Stallings popped out and then cave with the RBI single and Colorado leads by a three nothing score as the Cardinals talk it over here’s a quick word now from Great Southern Bank discover an array of affordable options and find one that is perfect for you open an account quickly and get back to what really matters at greatsouthernbank.com [Music] so C has had a productive series for the Rockies he’s scored three runs he’s just driven home one and this guy too Michael toia has given us fits he’s one for two in the game with a single I like this slower breaking ball in remember yesterday was told you that had that big swing of the bat that triple that drove in three he ended up coming in after a throw from right that ended up Hitting off of him but it was a cutter middle end he likes the ball in there but if you can execute your pitch off the plate or down you’ll get him no balls two strikes this is the Cardinals 26th Day game of the season if you can believe that and the Red Birds haven’t played very well in the natural sunlight they’re nine and 16 in Day games entering today’s play yeah night time is the right time chip espe when you’re pale like me 02 pinch is taken low for Michael toia well Gibson’s done his job he’s given the Cardinals six Innings of work today we hope some bad luck has cost him a couple of runs and as we say so often sometimes it’s not how you pitch but when you pitch Gibson pitching on a day where Cardinals bats have been silenced by Ryan feltner through five innings yeah all Kyle done is just giving you a chance in this ball game love to see him finish off toia here get through his six great idea try to run that Sinker back catch that inside corner he throwing him sweepers in off the plate coming at him so a Full Count pitch coming cave will take off at first there he goes and it’s rolled off his foot foul Detroit beating the Brewers 4-3 today that game’s in the fifth inning Red’s winning 4-1 over the Cubs we’ll see the Cubs on our upcoming road trip Reds have won five in a row the Cubs have lost 16 of their last 23 games Gibson ready here it is again and strike three at the knees toia couldn’t pull the trigger tip of the cap to Kyle Gibson he’s given the Cardinals six red Bird’s bats got to wake up down three [Music] now trying to get past the wrist issue all season but he says there is light at the end of the tunnel he’s taking coach pitch BP from both sides of the plate right now not full intensity he told me I haven’t seen an overhand pitch since September of last year so it’s nice to finally get to track one chip Tommy said still no timetable for going out on a rehab but he says he is getting there well that’s good news that he’s continuing on the road to recovery gym but it’s going to be a while still for Tommy Edmond I like to report last night encouraging news on Wilson conteras the fans missed that last night on Wilson Wilson contras yeah he’s so he’s been cleared to take BP he’s been cleared to catch bullpens and he said he feels really like it’s 100% he know he still has some more work to do they’re going to follow his progression on taking BP and seeing how he reacts to the pain take a little while but he’ll be back pretty soon soon he said all along I’ll be back before the allstar break well that would be really helpful the Cardinals in search of a right-handed bat could use his power and his production you think about Tommy Evan and you think about Lars Newar that was a a crushing blow for the Cardinals losing Newar to he was swinging the bat great strain and oblique and he’s going to be lost for several more weeks no you’re right another guy right bat the ball skills gets on base a ton and you just got to really rely on your depth and it’s a hard thing but every team has to go through injuries who can overcome it right as you hope that n gets back healthy that’s a solid mustache he’s got going right now too he’s not wasting his time is he oh working on that for sure so El lead off man on for the Cardinals first time that’s happened today Dylan Carlson’s next after Matt garenter walks Carlson flyed out his first time up feltner’s been tough today he has been corner to corner nothing has been left in the middle of the strike zone been racking up his strikeouts and only the one free pass six strikeouts that one hit that was off the bat of Paul goldshmid that’s rolled out of play foul it’s oh and two for Carlson and that breaking ball too that slower curve ball that’s been his most effective off speed offering he does have the slider he does have a change up but he’s shown pretty good feel for that curveball in this game well you’d like to make life tough on feltner here get into that Colorado Bullpen which has been shredded this year but feltner very economical despite those six strikeouts Brad mentioned only 76 pitches he set down the first 11 Cardinals to begin the day little better than 5050 in throwing strike one has helped him the pitch his high ball two [Music] comor a one-step lead at first the pitch good cut at 95 fed straight back well pitch count getting up a little bit here for felner the high that he’s had on the season his 94 pitches he’s done that twice now number 79 coming but we’re seeing a couple of balls Elevate see hopefully if the Cardinals can take advantage of some of these that are left at the top of the zone now we’re making them work a little bit that’s good to see this will be the seventh pitch of this sequence for the Cardinal center fielder [Music] on the ground and a base hit Carpenter around second isn’t going anywhere and all of a sudden St Louis brings the tying run to the plate with the top of the order coming up Dylan Carlson coming off his two- hit day yesterday sneaks one through the right side made him working this at bat showed him a few different pitches fouled off a couple late off a few that were closed was able to wiggle one through the right [Applause] side so the Cardinals who had struggled so mightily with runners in scoring position had a big night in spots like this yesterday and the first bit of trouble for feltner Colorado’s Bullpen getting ready in a hurry St Louis 7 for 12 with risp last [Music] night their last 10 games hitting 365 and so feltner now beginning his third trip through the Cardinals batting order you can see why their pen is getting busy absolutely the numbers do bear it out now look he played way better than his numbers first time around against the Cardinal offense but you’re starting to see the misses you’re starting to see the middle of the plate in command of this account here against Mason win but if you’re Bud Black you don’t want to risk it two strike count for the card short stop and he chased that one a swing and a miss so went a little too anxious a rare two strikeout game for him feltner has his seventh strikeout today well that’s the key right Plaza Tire Service pitch strike if you want to strike out Mason win throw a bad breaking ball cuz that’s exactly what that was it was a backup curve ball trying to go down the way his first that bad he struck him out on a backup slider he’s picking up the spin so well but it’s so difficult to see that pitch when it goes the opposite direction six of his seven strikeouts have been of The Swinging variety he got burles to chase in the first inning Alec go for two today Cardinals down three Burleson represents the tying run who will come up with the big hit for the Cardinals Burleson’s hit safely an 11 in a row here at home man throwing in the Colorado pen is Victor vodnik like feltner he’s got a big arm so feltner might be running out of gas here he’s got a 20-0 count [Music] Bud Black pacing and pondering in the Colorado Dugout this is a club that has 17 blown lead losses this year another Bullpen has struggled might the pitching staff overall but their Bullpen got the worst ER in baseball so you can’t even feel that comfortable necessarily going to that group you have to play it like you’re seeing it if you’re seeing feltner start losing it a little bit got to go to a fresh arm hopefully loses it right here to Alec burles ground ball toward second it’s kicked and everybody’s safe there’s a break for St Louis tryo couldn’t handle a rocket on the ground and everybody’s still aboard for the Cardinals and Goldie coming up with the bases loaded one out well what this is another hard hit ball here by Alec burles this one 105.6 mph off the bat it’s going to be an error E4 on this you look at it highest hard hit rate versus pitches 95 and above Alec burles right there on that list he can catch up to a fast ball so that ball off the bat at 105 and now the door is open for St Louis base is loaded one out in the the sixth inning Colorado wants to talk it over as they hang on to a precarious three-run lead with a 345 hitters scheduled for the Cardinal I mean could you script it any better if you’re the Cardinals this is how you should want it with Goldie up in a big spot Gorman your home run leader with 14 of them sitting behind him and then Aron lurking well let’s see how the Cardinals have fared with the base has loaded this year it’s been tough sled Goldie is 0 for six Nolan Gorman is one for eight and Nolan arado is 0 for four so that’s got to change this would be a perfect spot for that to happen well these are the guys right 345 today in the lineup Goldie Gorman ronado they should be carrying your offense that’s going to have to be the key and they have a big opportunity right here to do so feldner has had himself a good game very good good game to this point but all it takes is a swing of the bat so the ballpark is alive all of a sudden Bas is loaded for Goldie the pitch gets in there with a strike a slider o and [Music] one goldi snapped feltner’s 11 up 11 down streak to start the game with the first Cardinals hit and now but he’s behind o and two Elmer’s done a really good job of pitching effectively down in the zone with that 96 97 mph fast ball what’s he do here 0 and two well I think here I think that you stick with the fast ball try to locate that thing away does he miss up on the ground right side double clutch bad throw two runs are going to score burles on his way to third they’re going to wave him he’s going to come around and the Cardinals have tied this game backto back errors for the Rockies chip put it in play make them make the play and simply couldn’t do it you saw this thing come in hesitation couldn’t get it out of the glove you’re BJC Difference Maker mono ranges the stutter step and just Chucks it into left field and the Cardinals Off to the Races Colorado tied the game on a little league style play last night the Cardinals tie the game in the sixth inning in similar fashion and feltner leaves in disbelief he had a three nothing lead two errors in the inning tie of the game for the Cardinals as the Red Birds have new life in the sixth incredibly effective Montero got the ground ball through it into the Outfield Paul goldi now standing on second the Cardinals clear the bases and now they welcome Victor vodnik your Chevy call to the bullpen we saw vodnik in game one of this series an inning of third he worked around two walks hard thrower chip as you mentioned fast ball anywhere in that 96 98 range good slider he tried to Ambush him and got a change up smart pitch from vodnik Strike One couple of really good change UPS right there you you know that vodnik has the velocity and then he pulls the string on both of those so got a couple different directions vodnik can go he can go right back to that stay down or he can Elevate with that good hard fast ball going to be a lot here to cover for Gorman funny game isn’t it the Cardinals 0 for three with runners in scoring position but they’ve scored three sometimes it doesn’t have to make sense does it one ball two strikes Goldie a good lead at second the pitch is center cut strike three two outs Gorman down on strikes for the second time in his three trips and it’s up to arado if the Cardinals are to break a 3-3 [Music] tie Nolan’s 0 for two he’s one hit away from 250 here at Bush Stadium but 99 is tough for any body to tangle with strike one you got to be ready to jump on that for sure interesting it is a vodik is a reverse split guy he’s dominated lefties this year they came in hitting 172 against some right-handers 316 vodnik came up in the brave system Atlanta traded vodnik to the Rockies for Pierce Johnson [Music] 34,000 plus hoping the Cardinals can take their first lead three in the sixth inning is given Kyle Gibson a tie game line toward left down for a base hit Here Comes Goldie great turn around third he’s going to score arado to six and the Cardinals take the lead with two outs the base running of Paul gmid on this play was absolute perfection oh you’re right first the slider misses middle this ball is driven to left Jake cave comes up right off the bat he is gone takes the quick turn and then that air male throw also allows arado to be right here standing at second base so yeah the Cardinals enjoy the lead with a 4run sixth and so now it sets up for Ali the way he’d ideally like it you’ve got your big three if you want to use them in this game for the seventh the eighth and the ninth Innings now in front 4 to3 yeah a perfect world you rattle off a few more you don’t have to use them all but this has been the recipe the Rockies will have the 91 and two hitters coming up in the seven swing Fly ball Center Doyle Retreats though and he’s got that and Donovan barrels one and that ends the inning but how about the Cardinals they cash in two errors and score four times and Lead it after six 4 to three Cardinals were able to capitalize on some mistakes on the other side but they needed some Innings they needed some length and it was provided by Kyle Gibson and now you hand it over Andrew kitridge is in he’s going to be your Chevy call to the bullpen the 30th game of the season for the right-hander he has been dominant and he’ll start with the number nine hitter Alan tro the Cardinals have a different look to their Outfield defensive alignment tell you about that after this first pitch Michael C’s checked into play center Dylan Carlson slides from Center to right Cardinals in another tight game it’s amazing six straight games decided by three runs or fewer 14 to the last 16 games played by the Cardinals require a save because the games have been so close and only the Tampa Bay Rays have a smaller margin of Victory overall on a per game basis than the Cardinals do so it has been a razor thin margin for Oliver marmel and Dusty Blake yeah by the skinni your teeth and it has felt like it that’s for sure can just checked in and wouldn’t you know it he handles his first chance as he backpedals to his right one up and one down for krid and there you see the Mets have played the most games decided by three or fewer the Cubs and Cardinals with 44 yeah I don’t think there’s too much relaxing as a major league manager anyways no matter how the season is going but certainly not for oy marmal this year because everything has been tight every decision has been so important Bullpen usage though has been I think outstanding giving these guys rest whenever they possibly can trying to build it in there have been days where all and Dusty the staff has had to stay away from kitridge and Jojo and helsley and others have had to step up and they’ve done so well so I think you’re right it’s great that the Holy Trinity if you want to call them that has done such a good job in the seventh eth and Ninth but is this workload sustainable for those guys that’s going to kiss off the bag and it’s down the right field line for Blackman he’s running hard to Second and he’ll stand there with one out Goldie was ready to make the play but it deflected off the first base bag no chance for that and Blackman has his second hit of the game this bounce take a look at this one again here from kitridge Slider ends up just hooking it right down the line and yeah if that doesn’t kick off that way Goldie’s got a chance to make a great play to answer your question of like is it sustainable with this workload no it’s not like these guys are going to need to be able to build in some rest somehow someway Blackman’s going to try to steal third he’s going to make it easily so he’s 90 ft away with one out doy and toar now a chance with contact to tie the game for Colorado well that is one they must have had some timing there on on Andrew kitridge that one look back took off right away and then couldn’t make the throw behind the plate a really good jump right there you saw Herrero behind the plate shaking his hand after that I don’t know if his hand ended up hitting maybe the bat there of Doyle or what happened on that throw Chris Conroy out to check him out did herrera’s hand hit the bat after he release the baseball to third take a look at it here when he went to [Music] throw yeah certainly looks to be the case maybe the middle finger potentially they definitely got it and a smart play by Doyle not to move a muscle make Herrera move now the infield comes in for the Cardinals strike one to Doyle and that pushes him off the plate Doyle has walked popped out and he’s hit to a double play Shadows begin to creep across home plate just past 5:00 local time at Bush Stadium 43 St Louis and Al Looper is going to tie the game so it’s 44 Doyle drives home his 17th run and new life for the Rockies a sinker in this is a pitch that kitridge has gotten so many ground balls off of but somehow able to pull those hands in Elevate little Jam job finds a home out there to tie this game up now we’ll see how quickly Doyle thinks about stealing a base he’s 16 out of 19 he’s got a good lead and Ezekiel Tovar is next he’s three for three and numbers 15 and 16 came against the Cardinals in game one of this series first three hits of the ser have come today for the rocky short stop and here’s the third hit let’s check out the metrics presented by stat cast and Google Cloud well he just went down and got it it was another one of those sweepers from Kyle Gibson three hits on the day and they’ve all been on that break ball very good lowball hitter 393 the distance on that 102.8 off the bat Runner goes pitch a strike throw to second is late so krid it takes a while to release the baseball and Herrera who has struggled to throw out base runners is a rough combination for the Cardinals defense here in the seven yeah what would the smaller step did krid but still a nice jump and a throw that is sailed so Herrera requests time as Tovar behind the count 0 and two he’s the first Rocky with a three hit two or more RBI game with a homer at bus Stadium since Trevor story back in 2016 well you think about the Rockies and the players that they had had together story and ronado and lameu but it’s a new world order for Bud Black in the mile high City without those guys pitch High Fly ball toward left Donovan retreating still going back that Ball’s going to carry out of here toar has just hit a two-run [Applause] homer theirs are going out ours aren’t in this series and Colorado with three in the seventh takes the lead right back a have a day Ezekiel Tovar four hit day two home runs and this time the fast ball it have been all sweepers all sliders this time shows off the power we mentioned it in his last half Pat to how good he is on pitches that are down and everything has been down there so a ton of Back Spin I suppose on that ball to left to with a four for four game two homers four RB and kitridge has allowed a double single in Homer to the first four batters he has faced here in the seventh the meeting a brief one [Music] Chris Roy Croft has grabbed a baseball and starts to warm up in the Cardinals Bullpen got to keep it 6’4 here if you can McMahon next and takes low we were able to see the Cardinals last night comeback Victory they scored early not much going on in the middle of the game will able to score late and lock it down going to have to do the same thing here it’s a ball and two strikes he came back to get McMahon two outs in the inning but again heavy workload for kitridge 21 pitches here in the seventh inning it’s a big pitch 3-2 also stays on top of that slider gets the swing and Miss on it and you’re right look laboring in the inning has worked a ton this year his 30th game that he’s in right now know that he can’t be feeling 100% but the job now to keep it where it is that is whacked foul to the left Montero committed the big error that allowed the Cardinals to tie it now he’ll ground to Third and St Louis will send the bottom part of their order down by a couple runs Ezekiel Tovar has a multihomer game his second of the season and it Powers the Rockies to a lead at the stretch is the official ticket Marketplace of the St Louis Cardinals well we battle back from three nothing to take a 4-3 lead now Colorado leads 6 to4 with Herrera Carpenter and Carlson coming up for the Cardinals Rocky’s made a couple of defensive changes as this one whistled toward Tovar short he’s having quite a day one pitch one out toia Moves In from The Outfield he’ll play first base Greg Jones checks in play right and one pitch one out mat Carpenter is next he walked and scored in the 4run St Louis 6 this is of course our Honda home run inning if the Cardinals hit a homer your gateway Honda dealers will pledge $1,000 to the Make A Wish Foundation [Music] carpenter has struck out in his two trips with that walk and run scored Victor vodnik back to work he’ll try to pitch his first full inning and last shot of play into the crowd 34577 our official attendance beautiful weather expected tomorrow for the series wrap up Oliver marmel will tell Jim hayes who our starter will be on cardinals live post game we presume as this one launched toward Center Doyle going back he’s at the track he’s not getting that one that one’s burn bound it’s a one-run game [Applause] that was a tape measure shot second home run of the season for Matt Carpenter and it is a long one 436 ft to dead center field he had to jump on 99 at the top of the zone you know how fast your hands have to be to get to that got the barrel going and that got out in a hurry what SE old singing the pitcher will provide the power and Matt took advantage his second Homer and a one-run game with a lot of baseball left it’s O and [Music] two Mason win is on Deck it’s 65 Colorado [Music] so thanks to Matt Carpenter your make A- Wish Foundation receives ,000 donation from your gateway Honda dealers Carpenters scored two of the Red Birds five runs today and Carlson down on strikes two away in the inning second strike out for vodnik [Music] Mason wi is next he’s 0 for [Music] three Ryan feltner started for Colorado allowed four runs vodnik has allowed the carpenter Homer in relief right now for the right-handers it’s the fast ball that he’s going to land that slider has been in and out there for bodnick you’re looking to jump a heater think that Edwin Moscoso home plate uper I think he’s in a really good job tonight not giving off the plate away oh good cut and fouled back two balls in a strike say it all the time the umpires who have the best games are when you hardly notice they’re there I I agree with you not a whole lot of chirping in this one the pitch two and two no secrets for vodnik it is max felo 98 99 milph a couple of strikeouts in the game today for Mason win both have been backup breaking balls too and like a dangerous pitch to throw I’d stick with that too if I were him 99 way too high upstairs though for vodnik so a big pitch Michael C’s on Deck he took Burleson spot on the lineup card and W scorches that to Center but right at Doyle and that will retire the side but the Red Birds Edge ever closer Matt Carpenter’s second Homer of the Year makes it a one Run game on the street from bus Stadium we’ve seen a wild one today 65 Colorado has retaken the lead Cardinal o have scored in the last two innings as we take a peek at Chris Roy Croft the next answer is Chevy called to the bullpen he’s got the bottom part of the order for Colorado coming up well how good was Chris Roy Croft in game one of this series saw him for an inning in 2/3 struck out three one pitch should take care of Stallings and it does you know we talk a lot about kitridge and Romero and Hesley and what a great job they’ve done and they have I think one of the great developments for St Louis has been the emergence of the other guys if you want to call them that in the bullpen yeah I agree with that absolutely Roy CR hopefully trying to be one of those guys heavy Sinker has a for scam that he can run at the top of the Zone slider darts the other way so you think about his Sinker slider combo good luck picking one of those that’s taken low for Jake cave who had an RBI single in the sixth inning Kyle Gibson went six Innings allowed three runs Andrew kitridge a rare rough day an inning three runs on three hits and a home Homer Matt Carpenter has blasted a long ball to make it 65 this one lifted toward left Donovan into the corner he’s going to have room back pedaling near the line and Cave is retired for route number two relive the magic of Whitey ball and Whitey herzog’s personal impact on players coaches and friends that’s in the latest issue of cardinals magazine visit cardinals.com magazine to order or call 3143 45 9000 we all miss Whitey Herzog who joined us for opening day this year and passed away shortly thereafter red birds wearing a commemorative patch on their uniform sleeves to remember one of the great Personalities in Cardinals history yeah one of the best they ever do it certainly the Hall of Famer and anybody that you ever talked to that had the opportunity to play for Whitey I’ve never heard a bad word heard about that man just a a great leader of men a great friend a great mentor Cardinal Nation will miss him dearly but we’ll always remember Whitey Michael toia quickly behind o and two he singled once and struck out twice Cardinals are in this game despite being out hit 11 to4 today both clubs have been sloppy on defense two errors a piece but Roy cr’s going to have a one two three Fame who wants this it’s going to be Brendan Donan he’s in and under and that will retire the side so your Budweiser what’s on tap the table Setters and then the Big Boppers are coming up canani gold Schmid and Gorman in a 65 score [Music] called to the bullpen yeah trying to find the right matchups here Jaylen beaks they went with the left he is supposed to be CI but Oly maral counters here it’s going to be fine taking this at bat so two righties then Nolan Gorman followed by Nolan ronado tough to hit right now Shadows half covered home plate pitcher and Outfield B Than Sunshine in a one-run game 234 on the card for the Cardinals as that’s low for me ain’t even count beaks through an inning in 2/3 the other night and struck out two batters they got for me to pop out that was also in the eighth inning right back where it came from and knocked down if he doesn’t make that play it might have been a hit so a tough break for fine beaks Fields his position for oute number one now right back Adam dabs it I think you’re right on that one to for me can run that was going to be treyo catching that ball as the second baseman going away from it that was a knock for sure if doesn’t do that Goldie reached twice scored once remember it was it was his ground ball to first in the Cardinal sixth inning that Montero fumbled he threw it away and the Cardinals scored three runs to tie he later scored on an ronado [Music] single and Hesley starting to play catch if the Cardinals Take the Lead you’ll see helsley for the ninth if we don’t figure Roy Croft goes back for the [Music] [Music] ninth the two 21 is fouled [Music] away Boston Tampa Bay and Colorado the big league pit stops for Jaylen beaks as I said he pitched scoreless baseball Thursday night but allowed five runs for his fourth blown save in his prior outing against Cincinnati love to see some more that be’s interesting is mechanics hides the ball really well behind him yeah he’s going forward and you can see the wrist still cocked and ready to go and as he plants that foot boom and then that quick arm right you don’t get an opportunity to see that hand drop out like you see with some of them now generally you’re looking for that window anyhow of where the ball is going to be [Music] released and a swing in a Miss takes care of gold Schmid two up two down in the Cardinals eighth inning and now it’s Lefty Lefty for Nolan Gorman who’s had a tough day at the plate Nolan hold for three with a couple of called third strikes a good change up stayed right on top of it did be to get Goldie swinging through it good pass at that pitch but a strike for Gorman see some of those Shadows that you were talking about pitcher is in the sun hitter in the shade right center field now Gorman going to have to make that adjustment certainly 0 two right here against beak uh beaks but flying off a little bit on both that fast ball and and that slider right there the cutter from beaks keeping that front shoulder front hip end is going to be really important two quick strikes the pitch is cut on a missed and beaks with a 1 two 38th inning with a couple of strikeouts we head to the ninth Rocky still leaded by a [Music] run off of Kyle Gibson and then hit that fast ball out there off of Andrew kitridge who has been so good the young Tovar who the Rockies locked up to a multi-year deal showing exactly why they believe he’s part of their big future so Bud Black pondering his options for the bottom of the nth inning he has a one-run lead Alan Trejo goes to work St Louis with a new Outfield alignment there’s Jose fine he’s going to take over in left something St Louis wanted him to do when he was down in the minor leagues Carlson back in Center Donovan shifts over to right field now and looking ahead to the Cardinals ninth ronado Donovan Herrera the first three schedule Tyler Kinley is throwing in the Colorado pen stay down there all day with that Sinker there is nothing you’re going to do with that aside from beat that dead into the ground swing and a miss boy that ball exploding across the shoe tops and 97 mph this is filthy wants it in get there look at that running sinking action at 97 you commit when that thing is over the middle of the plate it ends up near your back foot this man 67 with the extension of 97 that’s got to be perceived at 105 or more I would think Blackman chops one up the middle wind’s got it 360 spin throws and noty time what an amazing play look at where wind ended up after he released that baseball he’s good 50 60 feet away from the second base bag in Shallow right and he made it close he was way out here another one of those sinkers that was beat into the ground made that athletic Play Good strong throw but not able to get Blackman just showing off some more of that [Music] range three hit game for Blackman who’s reached base in all five of his trips to the plate today and he might be thinking about running with a one-run lead back to the mound second base bad throw but a good recovery and a double play Gorman saves today as that one sailed on Roy Croft and now the Cardinals have their final call in the ninth inning it starts with Nolan nanado it’s 65 [Music] Rockies go to the bottom of the ninth M Kyle Gibson gave you a chance Matt Carpenter with that big swing of the bat brought this within one and now butl trying to navigate this ninth inning it’s going to be Tyler kinley’s your Chevy call to the bullpen he picked up the save in game one here on Thursday three for three in save opportunities as Kinley he’s given up runs four times in his last eight outings seven earn runs in his last seven and a third we need one to tie and two to walk off it’s been a while since we’ve had a walkoff here in St Louis sure it would be fun to do that today ronado Donovan Herrera and Carpenter the first four scheduled Nolan has an RBI single that’s the pitch right there that kley leans on the most the slider it’s a a hard one late breaker but not a big breaker [Music] Kinley originally a Marlin’s draft pick hammered and off the ntic foul it’s strike two so Kinley a HomeTown kid he was from dve Florida Barry University Hur a lot with the [Music] Marlins also pitched with Minnesota and like so many another veteran of Tommy John [Music] surgery caros might have gotten a break here well the only reason that they don’t get the call is how much Stallings had to travel back there behind the plate was looking to go away that ended up in two balls two strikes that’s popped up by the cards on Deck Circle can anybody get there won’t matter it’s three rows back Colorado saw enough of Kinley to give this man a three-year contract after the 2022 season so good for him well nice to have a little bit of stability in your Bullpen right especially if you can do so with a Team friendly deal two balls two strikes and a swing and Miss gonado is struck out for the second time Brandon Donovan’s next first a quick word from Jack In The Box all these Munchies are under $4 each at Jack everybody’s a big deal welcome to jock in the Box 12 strikeouts for the Cardinals offense defense so far in the game Donovan swung and missed in the second you’re thinking about walk-offs the Cardinals have one walk-off win that was April 22nd when Gorman stunned the Diamondbacks here at Bush [Music] Stadium Line Drive left center field that Ball’s going to get down and roll for a while Donovan around first he’s on his way way to Second here’s the throw late and the Cardinals have a shot a one out double for Donovan remember last night Donnie came up big with that RBI single in the eighth now he shoots a double the other way 97 goes up gets on top of it and gives the Cardinals a chance here in the ninth inning 15th double for Donovan and now now herrera’s up Herrera hasn’t gotten the ball out of the infield today let’s change that a long one wins it for the Cardinals 65 Colorado the lead you have to think Herrera is ready to jump early too he likes that first [Applause] pitch and a smart one he knows that does Kinley and threw one with A Wrinkle In It Strike One a lot of room in right center a lot of room between first and second on the infield for the Cardinals catcher swing Fly ball hit well toward the Gap but that’s going to be caught cave makes a nice running catch and Donovan has to scramble back to Second so two are outs Matt Carpenter our final hope last time up Brad he made some magic yeah why not right leave it up to the veteran who brought this game within one jumped at 97 mph fast ball off of bodnik to dead center field 439 footer just quick hands got the barrel to it see some more of that everybody’s up in St Louis with that home run carp pass Yadier Molina for fourth most homers in this ballpark with his [Music] [Applause] 69th Dylan CR son Waits next a hit ties the game a big fly wins it one ball no strikes yank foul it’s even at one and one the lefties have had their way with Kinley this season coming in 356 the average against you know he likes to lean on that slider well if he leaves one of those over the middle of the plate that ends up being middle end to the left-hander and drop the head on it popped up left side McMahon’s going to have room and the korado Rockies come from behind and beat the Cardinals in game three of the series It’s a 65 final score well Kyle Gibson gave you an opportunity in this one the Cardinals clawed back got within one but could not finish it off and look to even this thing up we’ll find out after the game Who oi Marvel is going to want to use for the finale starter with the off day coming up Monday but need to get things going so the Cardinals drop a 65 decision to the Colorado Rockies plenty to talk about on cardinals live post game that is coming up next Brad and I will see you here for the series wrapup tomorrow afternoon [Music]
