Wow Cards tie the game and so do the Marlins all in a span of a minute or so.

Rivero (2ERs) and Feliz (1ER so far but has now loaded the bases) combine to potentially blow one of the biggest games of the year.

Beyond frustrating.

This one is going to sting a lot tonight if we don't come back. We were up 5-3 in the 8th and the bullpen completely implodes tonight and the Cards who were down 2 in the 9th to the Phillies tie the game as well. Losses like this head to head against the teams you are fighting off for playoff positioning are just absolute killers.

clicked on Andino's info from box score on ESPN. Shows a photo of him when he was with the Bucs.

I guess Cutch isn't totally back after all. He needs to at least be able to hit a stinkin fly ball there and tie the game. Huge huge two game swing in the standings with that Cutch game ending double play.

The Cards take the lead 4-3 on the Phillies as well. We went from potentially being a few outs away from being tied for the 2nd wildcard with the Cards to 2 games back of them if they hang on and beat the Phillies. Remember this night for sure if the Pirates miss the playoffs by a game or so because it was a killer.

It's so refreshing to watch Taillon pitch because he walks so few runners and gets a lot of easy outs. Cole just doesn't seem to be able to replicate that.
Cole may be the worst pitcher we have in the rotation right now he given up 10 or more hits in his last two starts, not sure what you do with him. We were lucky to even be in the game as bad a game as he had.
