NLCS Game Three: Nationals vs. Cardinals, live thread.
« on: October 14, 2019, 07:49:09 pm »
The Cardinals go in order to open at Nationals Park with two strikeouts around a ground out.

It's boy wonders past (Stephen Strasburg) and present (Jack Flaherty) on the mound tonight.

No score, middle of the first . . .

Anthony Rendon draws a two-out walk but Juan Soto looks at strike three after a full count, the Nats may be trying to make Flaherty work extra early.

No score after one full.

Marcell Ozuna wastes his own leadoff double when he gets hung up in a rundown by Strasburg who fakes throws then tags him. The Cardinals make Strasburg work a little more in the second but come away empty.

No score, middle second.

We all waiting with bated breath...announcers included, to see if Juan Soto would start up again with his batter's box antics.

On the 1st pitch, Soto crouch down glaring with right foot extended, scraping the dirt like a bull.

He looked at both strike 2 and strike 3.

Ozuna is Exhibit A why the Cardinals aren't going anywhere this year.

Those base-running mistakes are to be made in April and May, not October.

I'm sorry, but I have to point this out....

The fans in camera-view behind home plate not only NOT everyday baseball fans, they are Washington, D.C. people who secured the "hottest tickets in town".

They're not only 'corporate', they D.C. corporate.   YAWN!!

I'd be up screaming with every K.

Anthony Rendon just took a sure extra-base leadoff hit away from Paul DeJong with a diving stab, spin, and throw to stretching Ryan Zimmerman to nail him!

97 mph fastball to Strasburg ready to sac bunt....I hold my breath, thinking of Trey Turner's injury missing 2 months because of SMASHED wrapped-around-the-bat fingers.

Ozuna in left slides slightly prematurely and the ball popped in and out of his glove, Eaton came around to score, looks like it may be ruled a double but that's bad defense by Ozuna. And it's 2-0 Nats . . . still hitting, bottom of the third . . .

Ozuna should have had that sliding catch...dropped right down out of the webbing.

He's also the guy who got caught in No-Man's Land between 2nd and 3rd.

The one thing I knew for damn sure going in was that Strasburg's changeup was going to get a very full night's work. And when it missed, it didn't miss the zone by much.

Strasburg pitches around a tough infield hit (Rendon dove but couldn't stop Paul DeJong's shot), Flaherty's out of the game (pinch hitter Matt Carpenter struck out looking), and the Nats still lead 4-0 in the middle of the fifth . . .

Hadn't realized that all seven (7) Ks have come on the off-speed pitch.   Thought that was for the 2nd time thru the order, etc..

I'm guessing he's storing up a little energy to get through a sixth and maybe seventh if need be.

Intriguing tweet from the New York Times's baseball writer Tyler Kepner: Not to count out the Cardinals, but with the Nats up 6-0 in Game 3, this NLCS might not just be a sweep, but an *ultimate* sweep, where the losing team never even has a lead. The Cardinals are familiar with this; it happened to them in the 2004 World Series.

It could have been worse.

Consider Exodus Cabrera. Or Leviticus Cabrera. Or Deuteronomy Cabrera.

Or King Crimson Cabrera . . .  wink777

First and second and Paul DeJong lines a single to left. Soto slipped and recovered . . . then threw in past everyone letting Jose Martinez score the first Cardinal run of the game and second in the series. Still first and second, one out, top of the seventh . . .

Strasburg strikes out pinch-hitter Wieters and Dexter Fowler---both on changeups---to keep the damage to a single run. Twelve punchouts on the night for him.

7-1 Nats at the seventh inning stretch . . .

Howie Kendrick stays doubles happy in the bottom of the seventh and Ryan Zimmerman knocks him home with a single into left off Daniel Ponce de Leon . . . 8-1 Nats!

Fernando Rodney, the grand old man of the Nats bullpen (when he was a kid the top ten were probably the Ten Commandments), gets them three and three with two punchouts including Paul Goldschmidt's fourth of the night.

8-1, Nats, middle eighth . . .

A two-out walk to Trea Turner but that's all she wrote for now.

8-1 Nats after eight and they're three outs from a 3-0 NLCS lead . . .

Fernando Rodney after he ended the St. Louis eighth . . . (and, hey! He wears the late Jim Bouton's uniform number!)
