7/12 GDT: Braves(Young/Ritchie) vs Cardinals(May) 1:15 PM CT

[CardsofSTL]

Languishing! GD Offense is languishing. We need a shot in the arm. Hear me boys? In the GD arm.

[CardsofSTL]

Bruihl in for a second inning.

It's really a shame they let May throw this game away (I know the offense has done nothing).

These games are the absolute difference makers. Win today erases the Brewers debacle, but a loss keeps it meaningful.

ML Managers see the third game in a series you've won two as icing, but I see them as insurance. You get to bank three against a competitor, rather than one. You get to erase a bad loss somewhere previously.

But winning two of three at home is simply holding serve.

[CardsofSTL]

I hope the offense comes alive and they still win this [expletive].

Brruel doesn't have much either

[Birds67]

And Hicklen gets his first MLB RBI of his career against us.

[phins]

Putrid performance from Birds thus far.

[booger71]

Take Ritchie out

[CardsofSTL]

Cards have the bases loaded. Blaze pinch hitting for Church prompts the Braves to go back to their pen.

[CardsofSTL]

Cards take down Blaze and put Torres in to pinch hit.
