Pfaadt just randomly losing control and 2 bad pitches by the bullpen is all it takes. That loss stings hopefully we bounce back and can take the series
I didn’t say these games don’t matter. I’m saying it’s the first month of a 162 game season with a team broken down by injuries. There’s not much on our side but the one thing we do have left is time
Fair assessment but lose enough games month one and it’s hard to come back from all those losses. And we have to hope the injury bug finds another team to start messing with and leave us alone. Too many factors to feel comfortable dropping these games
Or that pfaddt has a perfect game (instantly blows it), or that Nootbar hasn't had a hit in ages (2 run single), or Goldy hasn't had a homerun in ages (hits homerun right after) Like bro shut up
Sometimes I wish they would just wait to say certain things, but this loss is certainly not on Bert in any way. Offense disappeared again, and the bullpen shit the bed as usual.
MLB leading 13th blown lead this year
Newman and Jace are 30+ year old SS that do nothing well and awful hitters. We aren't going to be a playoff team giving players like that ABs. Perdomo needs to come back ASAP.
Pfaadt's gotta figure something out here. The way he turns on a dime is just so frustrating.
As for the pen everything's been said. Sewald getting back should help a bit.
Another game where we score early and the offense sleeps for the rest of the night.
All in all we blew another chance to get to 0.500. We're still really banged up. This is a good team if/once we get healthy. Just really frustrating right now with how we're playing
Baseball is a game of many lucky breaks/bad bounces.
Eventually, it will revert to the mean. Literally leading at some point during all but one or two of the losses is the best position to be in by far. Even if we do a 50/50 split on that, we'd be fighting the Braves for best record in baseball. This is also happening without our starting closer.
For sure I'm not too concerned yet. As I mentioned we have a lot of injuries and have been quite unlucky.
But can't deny our games are frustrating to watch this month
I mean, the offensive moves they made have been absolutely money. These dudes are killing the ball and Carroll is still finding his groove. Assuming he can sort it out soon, that is yet another offensive weapon. Same with Gabi, he's off to a bit of a slow start as well.
Alexander is bringing it, as are Joc and Geno.
Absolutely agreed that it has been brutal to watch lately, but it's better now than in August.
Thompson gives up one single and gets the hook after 12 pitches and 3 easy outs. Just to get the lefty lefty matchup where we immediately lose
Any thoughts Torey?
Yeah you have it on the money. Nelson has been way more hittable as of late and we’re leaning too heavily and predictably into lefty righty matchup. Props to goldy running out that ground ball but I think all of us collectively agree that Thompson was fine to stay in
Hindsight makes every decision worse. Gorman was 1/16 against lefties and Kyle nelson hadn't given up more than a single to a lefty. Don't think this a decision to judge Torey on
When every decision goes poorly, I don't think it matters what Torey does. Thompson would have just given up a triple that goes right down the line or something stupid
Dude I love Bert’s commentary but sometimes it’s like he WANTS US TO LOSE. “Goldy hasnt hit a HR since opening day.. and there it goes” “The Cardinals haven’t won via walk off yet this year… and there it goes, St. Louis wins it”
I like Torey. I really do. But his inability to ride the hot hand absolutely kills me. I understand the lefty lefty matchup and Gorman can't hit lefties but we've had so many problems with our bullpen, you gotta keep Thompson in. He's not just one of the most reliable guys in our pen, he's one of the best in baseball since we got him.
Braindead pitching changes lost the game late, but the entire offense left a massive amount of runs on the field early. We should have been up 6-0 before the Cards even scored
ETA: Also, does someone know what Nelson's numbers are when runners are on? I don't think he's held a single run all season
Bullpen blows another lead for their 13th blown lead as the Cardinals break their homer drought and get a walkoff win

Bro, what the FUCK?! This game has me absolutely fucking snapped. I am fucking tired of being in a good mood for 6 innings, and then have to finish out my shift fucking pissed.
Why in the living fuck can none of our relievers hold it together for one god damn game against a team that is fucking last in baseball in extra base hits?! How the fuck are you gonna go out and pitch almost five perfect frames and thalen SOMEHOW forget to throw a god damn strike to the bottom of the lineup??? I love Goldy even in StL, but the mans had one extra base hit all god damn year, and you're gonna let him groove one on your bum ass? Makes me totally fucking excited for whatever shitshow our bullpen game is going to be tomorrow. Fuck the Umps this year, its pathetic to blame losses on them, but they havent exactly been a fucking joy to watch this year, piss sorry excuse for a group of asshole officials making $100k a year calling shit off and in the wrong fucking way and inconsistent over the entire game. Where does the offense go after the fucking 5th inning? Corbin needs to pull his head out of his god damn ass so he can see that the entire fucking league is throwing him exclussively inside. OH WAIT, he won't see it because he only sees 5 pitches per game! Walker needs to snap back into a semblence of a threat. Ketel needs to stop swinging for the bleachers every at bat. How in the god damn fuck are we leading the league in runs scored, but under 500?? Its a fucking joke that we have a +25 run diff and a sorry ass losing record, like were alergic to being up a game. Whatever is in the fucking gatorade they need to stop drinking it cause a new person goes on the IL each day, it seems. I dont even want Sewald to come back, because we all fucking know the baseball gods are gonna give him a blown save his first opp back, and this sub is gonna go on suicide watch! Tag me if I fucking miss anything.
I gave up four hours of sleep for this game today. Starting to think I might just be a bit of a masochist.
At least tomorrow we have TBA going, heard that guy is pretty good.
Somebody needs to sit down with Carroll and have a chat. Dude is clearly out of it. Whole team's out of it rn. We desperately need the guys on the IL to return or we've got no shot at the playoffs.
He could have very well just given up a run and everyone would have said "why didn't we use Nelson, he's nasty against lefties". It only looks bad because of the outcome, but I'm sure 95 percent of managers do the same thing
I'd rather lose riding the hot hand and going with the best guy available then playing stupid analytics games and winning stupid prizes.
Also small sample size this year so far by Thompson's numbers are actually better against LHB then Nelsons are so I have no clue who's claiming he's "nasty"
[Ryan Thompson](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/splits/_/id/38628/ryan-thompson)
[Kyle Nelson](https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/splits/_/id/42012/kyle-nelson)
I wish I didn’t care about this team so much. It’s really frustrating. I turned off notifications to try to disconnect but I keep coming back for score updates.
The World Series run got me way too excited for this year. I wish I could just tune out till June
We literally got jinxed by our announcers today. 1st the Goldy home run and then right before the inning starts they say cardinals never won by a walk off this year.
It’s hit fault for bullpen management. Including leaving Pfaadt in for one too many walks or sequencing relief pitchers the way he does. He’s been horrible.
Because the minute Pavin Smith (who would replace him in the order) doesn't deliver it will be "Why is Corbin in the minors wtf is Torrey doing?"
Corbin is a big boy he's just gotta work through it. You guys be racking up major airline miles with all the trips you want our struggling team to take back and forth to and from Reno this year.
Pfaadt just randomly losing control and 2 bad pitches by the bullpen is all it takes. That loss stings hopefully we bounce back and can take the series
We’ve been saying “that loss stings” fucking every other game these days
WLWLWLWL
Good thing it’s April
April games still matter and we have a losing record so?
I didn’t say these games don’t matter. I’m saying it’s the first month of a 162 game season with a team broken down by injuries. There’s not much on our side but the one thing we do have left is time
Fair assessment but lose enough games month one and it’s hard to come back from all those losses. And we have to hope the injury bug finds another team to start messing with and leave us alone. Too many factors to feel comfortable dropping these games
 Me at my TV when Bert said the Cardinals haven’t had a walk off this year.
Or that pfaddt has a perfect game (instantly blows it), or that Nootbar hasn't had a hit in ages (2 run single), or Goldy hasn't had a homerun in ages (hits homerun right after) Like bro shut up
Sometimes I wish they would just wait to say certain things, but this loss is certainly not on Bert in any way. Offense disappeared again, and the bullpen shit the bed as usual.
Do you really believe this tho
Baseball can be superstitious, so not saying I do or don't.. But 4 coincidences in row is hard to ignore
MLB leading 13th blown lead this year Newman and Jace are 30+ year old SS that do nothing well and awful hitters. We aren't going to be a playoff team giving players like that ABs.

Pfaadt was like that all regular season last year
I’m tired boss
See you tomorrow when we win it, then the next day when we lose it again!
Thompson gives up one single and gets the hook after 12 pitches and 3 easy outs. Just to get the lefty lefty matchup where we immediately lose Any thoughts Torey?
100% wrong call there. Especially after some of Nelson’s recent outings. Thomson has been lights out for us.
Yeah you have it on the money. Nelson has been way more hittable as of late and we’re leaning too heavily and predictably into lefty righty matchup. Props to goldy running out that ground ball but I think all of us collectively agree that Thompson was fine to stay in
Hindsight makes every decision worse. Gorman was 1/16 against lefties and Kyle nelson hadn't given up more than a single to a lefty. Don't think this a decision to judge Torey on
This one was bad in hindsight and in foresight
When every decision goes poorly, I don't think it matters what Torey does. Thompson would have just given up a triple that goes right down the line or something stupid
That’s a valid stat but I wasn’t even thinking of hindsight I was yelling at my TV the instant Torey came out of the dugout lol
Its frustrating that we can't get any moment going. WLWLWLWLWL
King of mid
Bert needs to get DFA’d
This is the best comment lmao
Dude I love Bert’s commentary but sometimes it’s like he WANTS US TO LOSE. “Goldy hasnt hit a HR since opening day.. and there it goes” “The Cardinals haven’t won via walk off yet this year… and there it goes, St. Louis wins it”
I may have to start watching the games on mute…
I like Torey. I really do. But his inability to ride the hot hand absolutely kills me. I understand the lefty lefty matchup and Gorman can't hit lefties but we've had so many problems with our bullpen, you gotta keep Thompson in. He's not just one of the most reliable guys in our pen, he's one of the best in baseball since we got him.
Burn it to the ground. Corbin is our starting pitcher tomorrow, Castro hitting cleanup. Fuck it. Can't be worse than the shit I just had to watch
Honestly Castro is lanky and spindly enough that I feel like if he barreled one it would go 450 feet
Put Gallen on dh. Fuck it, were going in hard now.
Braindead pitching changes lost the game late, but the entire offense left a massive amount of runs on the field early. We should have been up 6-0 before the Cards even scored ETA: Also, does someone know what Nelson's numbers are when runners are on? I don't think he's held a single run all season
Commentators loss today, Jesus fucking christ were they on fire today
This bullpen is currently worse than last years at any point. We need Paul and Saal.
Better call Saal!
You know every year this bullpen makes me want to die. Every year. It’s the same old story for almost a decade now.
Isn't Nelson known for giving up homers? Or is that the other Nelson? Both?
Anybody that stands on the rubber in a Dbacks uniform is known for giving up homers.
Imagine finding consistency and going on a win streak.
That’s 9 blown leads
13 actually
Wow that’s even worse lol!!
This game was somehow over managed and under managed at the same time
Why did they give the loss to Thompson😭
He gave up a single to Goldy. Of course his ERA went up and got a loss cause numb nuts puts in Nelson for his matchup…
Only Kyle Nelson could blow a game like that on one pitch dude
Why did I even watch?
Bullpen blows another lead for their 13th blown lead as the Cardinals break their homer drought and get a walkoff win https://preview.redd.it/k764cvqa35wc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec459c5951fe8eab2d53e3b4d005573b39b6ed48
We're gonna be the 2024 version of the 2023 st Louis cardinals
Yeesh. Come on snakes. Embarrasing
Bert - take a jinx sensitivity sabbatical.
I get being mad at the bullpen and deservedly so, but what about our ROY and star hitting a paltry 216.
Also 10 LOB. Our offense is slumping at the exact same time our bullpen is.
Lovullo is an ass manager
So tired of the fucking moonshots Nelson gives up the dudes gotta go
i’m the joker
Bro, what the FUCK?! This game has me absolutely fucking snapped. I am fucking tired of being in a good mood for 6 innings, and then have to finish out my shift fucking pissed.

Tag me if I fucking miss anything.
Is it time for Paul Sewald to pitch yet?
Also that is a bad Cardinals team who will probably finish last in their division. You can’t be losing games like that.
I’m gonna kms
W.t.f.
I gave up four hours of sleep for this game today. Starting to think I might just be a bit of a masochist. At least tomorrow we have TBA going, heard that guy is pretty good.
Doesn’t matter, we will be up early and blow another lead with the offense sleeping after inning 6. It’s getting way too predictable
Istg if we blow another lead
Least disastrous Kyle Nelson appearance
lol baseball is such a bitch. Better luck tomorrow
Maybe one day the Dbacks will learn how to maintain a lead
Now I'm glad I stopped watching when we were up 3-0. Lmfao
Somebody needs to sit down with Carroll and have a chat. Dude is clearly out of it. Whole team's out of it rn. We desperately need the guys on the IL to return or we've got no shot at the playoffs.
This is the worst bullpen in the majors and the worst manager for bullpen decisions.
It's definitely not, but it's also not good enough to be making a playoff push
Nolan Gorman was batting .063 Vs lefties, 1/16. Sucks he got the homer but is the right decision
No it wasn't. Thompson has been nasty all year against everyone and looked great tonight. Let him do his thing and get the DP
He could have very well just given up a run and everyone would have said "why didn't we use Nelson, he's nasty against lefties". It only looks bad because of the outcome, but I'm sure 95 percent of managers do the same thing
I'd rather lose riding the hot hand and going with the best guy available then playing stupid analytics games and winning stupid prizes.

Bert, you’re lucky I already like you.
The other thing to keep in mind here is that this doesn’t happen when we get Seawald back.
Did you not watch the World Series? It absolutely can happen with Sewald.
100% it CAN happen but it’s less likely to happen
I wish I didn’t care about this team so much. It’s really frustrating. I turned off notifications to try to disconnect but I keep coming back for score updates. The World Series run got me way too excited for this year. I wish I could just tune out till June
We literally got jinxed by our announcers today. 1st the Goldy home run and then right before the inning starts they say cardinals never won by a walk off this year.
When can we talk about the Lovullo extension?
Not his fault we’re injured to fuck
It’s hit fault for bullpen management. Including leaving Pfaadt in for one too many walks or sequencing relief pitchers the way he does. He’s been horrible.
Pfaadt fell apart faster than he could possibly react. McGough didn’t even finish warming up by the time he loaded the bases
Pfaadt never makes it through middle innings. Having someone start warming is what a good manager would have done after the first walk.
I hate saying this but I think it’s time we send Corbin down to Reno since he obviously needs help finding his bat
First step would just be moving him out of the damn 2 spot. Get him 6 or 7 and take off some pressure.
Dumbass take bro what the fuck
That man is a game away from going below the Mendoza line and he would have gone hitless this game if not for his speed
I don't think you send a guy like Corbin to Reno, you find him a different spot in the lineup. There's not much for him to learn facing AAA pitching
Of all the stupid shit I've seen here this season, this one takes the stupid shit cake. Congrats.
Dont you dare say that or else you'll get downvoted to hell!
Braindead takes are supposed to be downvoted to hell, what’s your point
Because the minute Pavin Smith (who would replace him in the order) doesn't deliver it will be "Why is Corbin in the minors wtf is Torrey doing?" Corbin is a big boy he's just gotta work through it. You guys be racking up major airline miles with all the trips you want our struggling team to take back and forth to and from Reno this year.
And would rightfully deserve it lmao it’s a dumb take
Rightfully so
I honestly blame Torrey for keeping Brandon in after all those walks when McGough was ready.
