Dunno who it was, but a someone gets a gold star. Marmol (annoyed at being asked if he considered pulling Gio before the 2nd HR) “Yeah, if you’d told me the second homer was coming, I’d have taken him out.” Reporter: “Well it’s happened three times this year now.” #STLCards

None of this, of course, is Dylan Carlson's fault. He doesn't run the team or make the trades. All he does is go out every night and play really good baseball. The thing I'd most like to see happen with him is a standing ovation at Busch Stadium tonight. #STLCards

Tim McCarver may’ve been Bob Gibson’s best friend on the Cards. He tells a story: he went out to talk to Gibson during a tense game moment. When he was halfway there, Gibby hissed, “The only thing you know about pitching is you can’t hit it. Get back behind the plate.” #STLCards

The Reyes deal was bad. But you had O’Neill, Arenado, and others failing in key, key situations with RISP. This game wasn’t lost because of one decision or one pitch. This one was lost, as so many were this year, because the hitters failed to hit. #STLCards #STLFly

Seriously, I don’t know what you do to make this team a contender. You have about six DH’s. You have zero pitching. They field badly. They make terrible decisions. I don’t know how an owner can watch this and not start firing people. #STLCards

There’s really no decision to be made. When Jack Flaherty or Steven Matz or even Rick Ankiel is ready to come back, you send Dakota Hudson out to wherever he needs to go. #STLCards
