[Hallas]

That was a perfect slider and Altuve manages to foul it off.

This just feels like sweep.

They've been great bouncing back from tough losses but last night was an absolute gut punch.

Maybe the best thing is to head out on the long road trip.

Hope I'm wrong and we can just get one game.

Abandoning this game already?  It's not like it's a blowout, we can still come back.  

[Hallas]

And Flaherty throws him the exact same pitch and Altuve can't make contact the 2nd time.

[Moose Milligan]

Maybe Jack's coming around.

Flaherty is just fine.  Team needs to score runs but he kept us in the game after a rough start.

It would surely be nice to get back at them with their own late-game loss.

[Jagwar]

I don't know what is worse... Newman's PBP or the constant barrage of Delectables commercials

Despite the score, I really like watching Flaherty pitch: he seems absolutely focused with a live arm, automatically repeated delivery, and precise breaking pitches. Seems to be a very good pick-up--Thanks ME et al.

First time it was a knuckle-curve according to ESPN Gamecast. The second was a slider.

He really hasn't been bad at all. Yes, Tucker got him, but most of the hits are ground balls finding holes.

Hopefully, the Cards hold on and beat Tampa.

Man, the ball is loud as hell off the bat of Mounty.

[LA2]

Solid oppo single by RMC--it must have been the incipient vertigo that plagued him early on.

[baltfan]

Mountcastle is doing good th8ngs for his trade value in the offseason.  

[O's84]

That was Brandon Fahey-esuqe from Frazier.
