If the Twins even make the WS I’ll be sick.

Molina's great throw to take Acuna off the bases trying to steal after a lead-off walk was not enough to save the Cards from themselves and they were lucky to survive another another walk, a single with the runner going, and an error on an easy grounder with only a single run scoring.
Molina buys a big out on the check swing call on Cervelli, but the Cards defense burns them again, even worse than in the first inning, and Braves lead 3-1 after six.
Cardinals are unfairly lucky
Every bullshit hit for the Cardinals is inches fair on crap
Suck it Mark Melancon, couldn’t happen to a better douche
Martinez, leading by 4 in the 9th, walks the lead-off hitter, the easiest one to get out that he'll face tonight.
Cardinals have gotten the last 6 “game of inches” plays

And he gives up 3 earned runs in the 9th, but he has enough to finish the game and get himself and the team a win!
I thought both home plate jumps did a very good job on balls and strikes tonight, not what the computer could do, but very good for human judgement and much better than average. They had a ton of close pitches that were not offered at.
Man, rough night for Acuna Jr.
Pissed off his teammates by not running out a long hit, turning a double into a single because he thought it'd be a dinger. And then, in the ninth, when he hit a homer, he pissed off Carlos Big Fucking Pussy Martinez because he didn't run the bases fast enough, therefore, apparently not showing him the proper respect.
The former: an issue, especially since he wound up being DP'd off second by a liner in a game his team lost by one run. The latter: LOL, fuck St. Louis, their love of the "play the game the right way" unwritten rules and Martinez. If it wasn't a playoff situation where you need to win three games before they win two, I'd endorse the Braves just smashing in one of their hitters' faces with a fastball just for Martinez being such a bitch. There's your "respect", Mr. Pitcher-Man!
Today's games are at 2, 4:30, 7, and 9:30.
Dunn was one of our founding GOAT athletes

Was ahead of his time with the HR,BB, or K plate approach!
Wainwright throws 120 pitches and can't quite get the 3rd out in the 8th, leading 1-0. Exits with bases loaded and Freeman hitting, and he hits a can of corn to CF off of the over the hill lefty Miller to end the top of the 8th.
Cards one of many teams with closer problems as now theirs has given up 3 or more runs in two straight 9th innings!
Braves leave bases loaded in 2 straight innings and last one a lead off triple...0 runs
Then Braves bring in Tomlin and he was great for 4 outs and they take him out and bring in a pitcher that Ozuna is 2 for 3 off of
Due to 2 outs, Goldschmidt was able to score on the blooper that ticked off Freeman's glove!
Freeman trying to stretch at the wrong angle to the throw from RF to try for the DP, allows Edman to go to 2nd on the error which can't b on Freeman as they said since it deflected off Edman before getting to Freeman.
