What a comeback by the Phillies
I'd call is less of a comeback by the Phillies and more of a giveaway by the Cardinals. Why they left Helsley in so long is beyond my comprehension. It was pretty obvious that he was having issues two or three batters in a row. He was not missing the strike zone by small amounts. Those were some ugly pitches he was throwing in the 9th.
Yeah that loss is 100% on Marmol's foolish decisions. I dont even blame Helsley, he was hurt and actually got his routine 3 outs. Then the idiot mgr puts in a rookie in a very high stakes situation, expecting a DP but the IF is played in. Flaherty makes more sense in that situation than Pallante.

A Cubs fan talking mess, been a looong tme since I've seen that haha
It's all fun and games. I'll probably cry if the Cardinals sign Willson Contreras this off-season, so don't feel bad.
Haha fair enough

I'm not as sold on Flaherty as you seem to be. He has only pitched 36 innings. In those 36 innings he has given up 36 hits and walked 17 for a whip of 1.611
They needed to turn 2 and try and avoid a sac fly. Pallante's GB percentage is 64.4% compared to Flaherty's 41.1

Arenado hasn’t done anything in the playoffs his entire career.

To be fair he did have one of the Cardinals 5 hits yesterday and he hit one that, if it happened in The Show people would come to the forum and complain about it. He tattooed one that was 103 off the bat that just died in the air for a fly out.

Yeah he acted like he hit a bomb and it was 20 feet short of the warning track.
Love the guy and it sucked when he left the Rockies, but he just hasn’t been able to come through in the playoffs for either squad.

To be fair it wasn't just him as I think most people who saw that swing assumed it would be a HR. I did.
And it may very well be that he is a playoff cursed player for both teams but he has only played in 7 post season games and only two of those for STL. I am willing to give him some more games before I come to a verdict.
And I think that we both have to admit that he is a big reason why the Rockies and Cardinals made it to the playoffs in the first place.

Yeah, no blame on Arenado solely. Goldy stopped hitting a month ago. None of the other bats looked even remotely dangerous until Yepez hit that HR and then they started to stage a comeback in the 9th. I really hope this isn't Pujols and Molina's last game but if is.....what a ride.

that Arenado bomb looked like it should have been 15 rows deep.there was 8 of them from both teams that would have been out but didnt even make it to the track with that wind

Goldy picked a TERRIBLE time frame to start sh*tting the bed

There has not been much positive to take from these two games. We actually outhit the Phillies 12 hits to 9 in the two games is about it..
Most telling is that our 3, 4 and 5 hitters went a combined 1 for 22 and left 13 runners on base in the two games.
The team apparently peaked in August and never really got hot again.
Congrats Phillies. Good luck against Atlanta.

Thanks.
Cards really fought back in those last couple innings, made em earn it. -
Mets hold on to live another day!
deGrom pitched gutty.
Diaz made two nice defensive plays.
Ottavino looked scared out there, but closed it out. -

Albert and Yadi deserved a better send off, at least they went out fighting. Goldsh!t and Errornado sh!t the bed HARD

Don't be that guy. Yes, they were disappointing in these two games, but without them we don't make the playoffs at all.

It is a bummer to watch your best players
go so cold but yeah, they are the reason the RedBirds won the division. Still to go from winning 2-0 in the 9th with Helsley on the bump to golfing on Ssunday is a tough swing. -

I honestly had both moving on, guess not.

Yup as expected, no credit at all to the team with the 3rd best record in the nl since june behind only the 100 win braves and 110 win dodgers, no credit to the ace that was runner up for cy young last year, no credit for the other ace that was 3rs in cy young behind degrom and scherzer who just a week ago PGd the astros for 6 and 2/3.
No credit to your own pitchers who kept the game at 2-0 when it easily could have been 5 or 6.
Nope they blew it, melted down, didnt come through.
Well thats not what i saw, i saw a ton of fight on both sides, incredible pitching that dominated, wind and temperature that really screwed the hitters on both sides, and a team that could have been 100+ wins if they didnt beat themselves as much as they did, not give in keep fighting and capitalize on an opportunity.
i then saw the cardinals also not give in and try and fight back after, in both games.
both played hard, both played like they deserved to win, but only one could. -
