Game Recap 5.6.25 – Pirates swept 5: 0 of cardinals. Bring out the brooms.

Gaming result

Sonny Gray throws like a starter #1 and throws 7 Shutout -ininnings into a decent 89 pitch with 8k. The Cardinal offensive sat on fence posts early, mainly with the speed game when Scott scored twice from the first goals. A later key, which was hit by Walker, padded the lid and put Helsley down. A strong effort leads to a 5-0 hutout.

Notes before the game

• The cardinals play today and go back to the 500 brand for the series -Weep of the Pirates Plus and climb.
• Herrera caught a partial game in Memphis yesterday. He did, ie today, so he has not yet caught back-to-back days. Be nice to bring his bat back into the line -up. His rehab ops is 1,000
• Rome set up 3 rehabilitation in Palm Beach last night. Clean line with 4 ks.
• Walker took a walk yesterday. He actually interpreted 4 low and outer parking spaces in a row. It all starts somewhere and taking off is probably the crucial step for him.

Settlement (and duty) machinations

• Cellar for the pirates, gray for the cardinals.
• In general, I would expect everyone to play for this game. Libby wore 7 Innerings, with Matz and Graceffo 1 recordings each. They seem to be a bit insecure how Matz will react to two consecutive excursions, and a short break with the day game can hesitate to use it. On the other hand, they will search to the left to the left, with Cruz and Reynolds, which they prefer to turn to the RH side.
• Arenado a late scratch, with Gorman taking his place. Back spasms. It’s a good thing that you don’t travel until tomorrow, an off day.
• Standard orientation, otherwise with pages at C. it seems to show signs of wear.

The game

Ining-by-ininning creeping with score card entries and observations on the way.

T1 – Gray starts well. Backwards K. 4-3. 4-3.

B1 -Nootbarar gets a single, but Winn Gidp 5-4-3. Donovan runs out. A few hard balls in front of the basement, but without success.

T2 – F9. Backwards K. Single. P6. Another fast inning for gray. Must be the short day.

B2 – Willson flies out. Burleson dives. Gorman is taking another walk. Walker K’s. You will be surprised to hear that he swung and missed breaking down as a ball.

T3 – 5-3. P3. K. Another fast inning for gray.

B3 – Pages K’s. Scott goes. He tries to steal, but Nootbarar thwarts by pushing a single into the right middle. Scott first rated with a single! Speed ​​on the bases is very practical. NOotbarar takes second place in the throw. With him, Winn deals with an RBI double in the other direction. Donovan dives. Contreras walking, but Burleson Ks. Cards now 2-0.

T4 – another backward. Then the interference of a catcher complicated things. Bart is about another complication. A pop-out and a K ends the inning. Gray at 52 parking spaces. Interestingly, Gray was 91-92 at the beginning of the game, but only demolished 94-95 pitches. Hmmm.

B4 – Gorman takes a single. Walker Gidp. As a further step of his development, he attacks the first parking spaces to avoid that the sliders are saving on the outside in the count. He drives. Pages F8.

T5 – F8. KK Gray continues to roll. Cards still 2-0.

B5 – Scott singles. NOOT F8. Winn doubles across the board and achieves Scott from the start. This speed is on the bases again. Donovan F9. Contreras K. Cards now 3-0.

T6 – P3. 4-3. Cutch -singles. L8 to end the inning.

B6 – tribes 4-3. Gorman K’s. Walker backwards K. He had the discipline to take a pitch with which he couldn’t do anything. I was just painted. Right process even if the results were not good.

T7 – 4-3. K. 3-1. Gray really smoked it today. 7 IP. 2 H. 1 bb. 8 K. 0 er. Wow!

B7 – Pages singles. Barucki in for basement. First pitching change today. Late. Scott Gidp. Don’t see that often. Noot doubles for his third hit today, but Winn dives.

T8 – Leahy in gray. Single. Line out. Single. Not a good start, with 3 hard hit balls. But a K and a weak ground end the uprising. Cards still 3-0.

B8 – Ferguson in for Barucki. Donovan singles. Contreras with a backward body K. Baker PH for Burleson. Baker delivers and doubles Donovan to third place, but Gorman loses the left Matchup with a K. Ferguson Out, Holder in. Walker with a 2-RBI single (107 MPH EV) in the middle to salt the game. He turned up a 101 MPH FB. Pages KS. Cards now on 5-0.

T9 – Roycroft in the non-saving. He performs a 98.1 on the FB. K. F7. 5-3. Clean ining, exclude profit, 5: 0.

Notes after the game

• So if you had to choose one (and only one) star for the series, who would be?
• Random thought/question. Would you act directly on O’Neil Cruz, Victor Scott?
• Gorman goes more (a lot) and beats a little less. Good signs. However, its bat speed has really fallen off. I wonder if this will normalize a little.
• Not bad to have 2 consecutive 7 IP starts. It is clear to me that the offensive of the pirates is so great, but still a really good job.
• Continued to Washington, DC, came from a series sweyep, a 5-1 home and back to a record of 0.500.
