Remember this kid? Certainly can't be a kid anymore.

So what you're saying is they could be tied for 1th place this week? Drink.

I'll take it for any 3 game series.

Yes, it needs to be a learning moment. It was embarrassing, the self inflicted wounds to get themselves into a deficit and then into a deeper deficit after pulling ahead. I don't know if anyone can explain it, it just seemed to permeate from player to player today. But on the bright side, they have not been smacked around like this in a while. The last time they lost by more than a grand slam was in Toronto on April 11. I think its fair to say this team has played differently for the better part of a month than they did the first few series. In fact, since the 2-9 start, they are 13-9. I don't think anyone has any preconceived notions of this being a better than .500 team. We know they just aren't stacked up to be that this season. We know they had a tough opening schedule to deal with. And while we cannot make sense of taking 2 of 3 at Houston, 2 of 3 at Milwaukee, 2 of 3 at St. Louis, 2 of 3 at home vs personal bully Cleveland, sweep the $600 million New York Mets, and try to square that against being swept at home by Boston and looking absolutely feeble against Tampa and Baltimore, the totality of the season thus far is encouraging despite the egg they laid today.

Well, I guess if short start pitching outings and bad bullpen outings and bad defensive outings are going to happen, condense them together into as few games as possible rather than spreading the love out to multiple games?

Wow, were they mentally on the plane to Cleveland after the Rogers grand slam?

This inning tastes like rotten flan.

Going to have to send Faedo back down and pull up another reliever for Cleveland the way the bullpen is going to be used today.

Very clankular today.

True. But the defense hasn’t helped the cause today.

Hey, they came from behind once already. Why not do it again?

I don’t mind the idea. I think he would have cut down the run. Remains a 3 run lead, runners at the corners with one out. And that’s all for naught now.

What a plate appearance.

A little too geeked about throwing to home there.

Ballsy call on the double steal there.

Someone’s off the ass bandwagon?

Look at the old guy spelling out “like” instead of using a heart emoji.

Classic reliever roulette.

Wait, why does that say FLAN and not PLAN?

It was the best option available for the Cardinals. Walk him or give up a 3 run dong.

Time for the heroics of Zacharias High Socks McKinstry.

SINGUEL!

Arenado and Nootbaar making plays. Baez, Haase, and Torkleson not so much. Oh, hold on, an Edman miscue….
