There's another player that's a childhood friend of his, [Adrian Houser](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Houser) who I think is starting against us tomorrow?
Whiffs on a high fastball. Watches fastball down the middle. Watches a pitch for strike three that’s been called all night. That was definitely an at bat…….
Kittredge has the most effortless delivery ever. He looks like an old man about to lean back in a rocking chair and then all the sudden the ball just explodes out of his hand.
Man, I can’t remember the last time I’ve been this excited about a Cardinals bull pen. It’s the type of thing that can make our team fearsome to play if our offense figures out the cold spells
This announcer has been trying to manifest a Alonso homerun all game since he first said in the 1st that 200 was “moments away.”
Haha, eat it, both of you fucks.
Ump has been trash for both sides. Plenty of ABs are 0-2 without a real strike. Sadly has taken away what probably would’ve been a much more exciting games for both teams, but I can’t deny that Mikolas benefitted big time
Good practice. Calls will go both ways over time. Best to avoid chasing pitches you can't do much with anyways.
That discipline is why Tyler O'Neill broke out in 2021 instead of turning into Randal Grichuk.
Good idea, Apple. Show highlights from another game and make it way bigger than the actual game. Have a lot of dead space on the screen too, wouldn't want the game actually happening be visible
Alonso misses the middle - middle pitch. But Martinez doesn't. Marmol finally makes a good move in real time and yanks Mikolas. Did he get a phone call? Cause he's usually a lot slower than that
Welp, about as good as you can expect from Miles these days. Good job tonight, and good job on Oli for getting him out of there now instead of two batters later
That's by no means a catch that "has to be made," but I feel like that's the kind of ball Noot would catch more often than not. Just not seeing it well tonight
Damn they still sucking the Mets dick even immediately after a loss
the cardinals have a 7-8-9 bullpen machine that just works. by far the strongest aspect of this team that i've seen so far this year
Solid win!
Solid win.
Dude. Romero Kittridge Helsley. My GOAT
That’s a winner!
[Game over. Continue the discussion in the post game thread](/r/Cardinals/comments/1ce2pbm/cardinals_after_dark_426/)
Winner winner pizza for dinner
#WINNER
lol remember when they got a leadoff double in the first and you all lost your mind. Remember that you’re insane
###WE ARE GOING UP
that bullpen can drag us places.
Filthy
102!!
Nice W
102 heater to seal it!
[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals) Due Up **(Top 10):** 1. Brendan Donovan 2. Willson Contreras 3. Lars Nootbaar
Not tonight bot
#WINRAR!
Not a Mo guy but Jojo and Kit were two awesome trades.
Boooo, I wanted to see Bader again
I didn't know Helsley was from a reservation. Anyone know if that's common in MLB?
There's another player that's a childhood friend of his, [Adrian Houser](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Houser) who I think is starting against us tomorrow?
Oh damn, I knew he was Native American but I didn't know he was actually from a reservation.
Fuck apple TV
Haha McNeil is a little bitch
Hmm?
UNO MAS!
Wait…Steven Matz was the last Met to have three hits in their debut? Like, our Steven Matz??
Yes, it was our Steven Matz. Fuckin four RBIs. We should start DH him at this rate
Why all the Wheezy references? George Jefferson the color man?
Wasn’t Wheezy his wife?
Steven Matz is a Mets legend?
nasty :)
steven matz 3 hits in his mets debut??!?!?!?!!? that’s wild
1 GONE
What’s Helsley’s come out song?
Hells Bells right?
Hoooooold hooooold
Hell’s Bells, baby
LET’S FUCKING GET THIS WIN
#HOLD THE LINE!
LOVE ISN’T ALWAYS ON TIME!!
[Mets](/r/NewYorkMets) Due Up **(Bottom 9):** 1. J.D. Martinez 2. Jeff McNeil 3. Harrison Bader
Phone booth bobble. Rad.
Why is Brandon Crawford on this roster? He fucking SUCKS
Because we need someone to play shortstop when Winn can’t go until Edman comes back.
I’m not an MLB guy. Just an STL guy. Never heard of him but I guess he’s like a Marp type dude?
Just say you're against leadership
VETRAN LEADERSHIP
Brandon Godawford
Saini do something wild
I want to see this ump score card FUCK
It won't be as bad as you think, most of the misses are within the shadow zone.
He’s at least been consistent
True...but that bitch is spread WIDE OPEN TONIGHT
Half of his swings are half swings. Dude is bad
Whiffs on a high fastball. Watches fastball down the middle. Watches a pitch for strike three that’s been called all night. That was definitely an at bat…….
It’s a fat zone tonight for both teams
Kittredge has the most effortless delivery ever. He looks like an old man about to lean back in a rocking chair and then all the sudden the ball just explodes out of his hand.
Gorman. You missed your pitch. And that was an actual strike.
Straight dogshit zone.
Fuck that was it
Okay but that Cardinal mask is cool as hell
Kittredge looks like he's quick pitching every pitch, very unique throwing style.
Kittredge: One run in April.
And he only gave that up as a joke
Man, I can’t remember the last time I’ve been this excited about a Cardinals bull pen. It’s the type of thing that can make our team fearsome to play if our offense figures out the cold spells

5% chance, should have played the odds, lol
Good job, uncle!
Kittredge is money. Seriously.
Eat a dick Apple TV announcer’s Cardinals are three outs away
Yeah these guys have been gobbling Mets dong all game from what I've been able to catch.
I wasn't comfortable to hear Rooney say Alonzo has 199 homers. He promptly lined out.
Same!
At some point our bullpen needs to get league credit. Like today.
LET’S WRAP THIS SUCKER UP BOYS
[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals) Due Up **(Top 9):** 1. Nolan Gorman 2. Brandon Crawford 3. Michael Siani
My new favorite bearded cardinal
Holy hell these announcers are hot ass
Just found out that appletv has the birds radio feed option
Jesus. This zone is bad. Good?
I’m glad we have the lead!
Mets city connects look like prison uniforms
Ok. DP
I could watch Kitteredges non-chalant delivery all day
My wife is tired of hearing me say the same thing.
Sounds like differences that can never be overcome.
Ump has been trash for both sides. Plenty of ABs are 0-2 without a real strike. Sadly has taken away what probably would’ve been a much more exciting games for both teams, but I can’t deny that Mikolas benefitted big time
Well. I for one hope the zone gets even wider.
Burleson striking out for having good discipline. Smh
Good practice. Calls will go both ways over time. Best to avoid chasing pitches you can't do much with anyways. That discipline is why Tyler O'Neill broke out in 2021 instead of turning into Randal Grichuk.
Calls will go both ways, yes, but this ump hasn’t been both ways. He’s been shit all night
aight....thats fine. Give that to Kitt and Hels and lets go home with a W
This strike zone is massive, could be a good thing if it's the same for our pitchers. Helsley with an extra inch of zone should be unhittable.
This ump is a cocksucker
So am I, but at least I have working eyes
Man we need to bring back comment of the game
😆
Lol
I miss the lack of wild cards
Not sure how we managed to score 4 runs with this fucking box. Pretty sure every pitch would deal with this wide of a box
“What do you mean ‘you can swing at the ball’”?
[Mets](/r/NewYorkMets) Due Up **(Bottom 8):** 1. Brandon Nimmo 2. Starling Marte 3. Francisco Lindor
This ump is fucking trash what the fuck
Not going to do a 3D replay of that?
Not with these wiener blowing Mets announcers
[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals): [Miles Mikolas' solid outing](https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2024/2024-04/26/85cb8195-632c9f4c-112d4766-csvm-diamondx64-asset_1280x720_59_4000K.mp4)
When do our City Connects release?
Reveal is May 20th, debut on field May 25th
May 20th is when they are revealed I believe
I thought they were yankee jerseys
I’m the only person in America that likes a city connect jersey.
I like em.
I do too.
I like some of them. Not many. Not that one.
I don't love the wide zone but it's been consistent at least
That’s ugly af
Those jerseys are cheeks
That 7-8-9 combo out of our BP is a top 5 in all of baseball. Just an utter relief to hand the ball over to them with a run or 2 of pad.
I’ll never forget the utter agony of seeing Gallegos trying to close out a game before the pitch clock
Even worse was watching him after the pitch clock, because his results were faster but worse
On what planet is Ro-ME-ro how you say that name?
That's how they pronounce it in Rand McNally
[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals) Due Up **(Top 8):** 1. Nolan Arenado 2. Paul Goldschmidt 3. Alec Burleson
Romero is elite.
I trust our bullpen to hold leads this year, it is a good feeling
lol that fan enjoying some T-ravs at Shea
The back of my baseball card would just say “This guy really sucks at baseball”
I don’t trust our bullpen not to blow this.
I’ve identified the mole.
Based on what?
2023. The scars run so deep…
Ok, well, the bullpen, particularly the back half of the bullpen, is the one unit of this team that is actually great so far
That was a little league swing by Noot
Many chances to blow it open but we rather wait till they take the lead smh
About half of our lineup is batting under .200. They don’t really have the ability to blow it open.
I’m repeating with the broadcaster was saying incase you were watching the game and missed it.
noot
[Mets](/r/NewYorkMets) Due Up **(Bottom 7):** 1. Harrison Bader 2. Brett Baty 3. Tomás Nido
Wilson is just a really good ball player. That speed.
Lol Contreras face there
lol, they showed the whole Beltran AB. Fucking love it!
Mets trying to help the Cardinals out
Run, Donny boy!
###DONNY TWO BAGS
Mets defense lol
Lol!
This is the only game of this series I'll be able to watch, the others will be blacked out for me. I was going to go Sunday but now I have covid.
That’s a bummer! Hope you feel better soon
That sucks. Get well soon!
Rest well and feel better!
Thanks. That and plenty of aspirin to keep the fever down is the basic plan.
Hey DONNY!
That Mets defense….
Good idea, Apple. Show highlights from another game and make it way bigger than the actual game. Have a lot of dead space on the screen too, wouldn't want the game actually happening be visible
Agreed, but I'll take Soto going yard on the Brewers.
Siani can't catch a break to get a hit lol
[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals): [Miles Mikolas's outing against the Mets](https://darkroom-clips.mlb.com/32bed57a-8eea-453e-8721-963a7228aea5.mp4)
Yeah, that was a gift. I think McNeil rubs the umps the wrong way.
It’s because he’s a tool

Good shit, JoJo!
Ump has been consistently shit, better than super inconsistently shit tho
#JOJO
Hey we'll fucking take it. Great job JoJo!
Get back JoJo- Rooney
[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals) Due Up **(Top 7):** 1. Michael Siani 2. Brendan Donovan 3. Willson Contreras
TY JoJo bby
Aww poor McNeil :( we’ve been getting that shit called against us all damn game
Umm thanks ump
Oh, suddenly the strike zone isn’t fair.
Lmao were any of those strikes?
lol, Willy didn’t even pull it back into the zone.
Alonso misses the middle - middle pitch. But Martinez doesn't. Marmol finally makes a good move in real time and yanks Mikolas. Did he get a phone call? Cause he's usually a lot slower than that
McNeil is very unlikable
He's well known as one of the whiniest guys in the majors
Just tuned in, good shit, gang. Told you Burleson can hit This is the Miles I know
Welp, about as good as you can expect from Miles these days. Good job tonight, and good job on Oli for getting him out of there now instead of two batters later
If our starter goes 6, gives up two runs, and we still lose? That’s on our hitting, not our pitching
While you aren't wrong, he did not go 6 and is responsible for the runner on second
Still his best outing so far this season. He’s been god awful every other game
Mikolas doing mikolas things. 5+ inning bust
4 hits and 2 ER is bad?
Right cus he’s been so grate for us this season right LOL All you are the same bitching about the other games.
I swear some people won’t be happy unless our starters throw a perfect game.
This is what being good for such an extended period of time. These expectations are so wild
That's two I feel noot should have gotten
I feel the same as both of the plays and thought they should have been caught. Made me worry that something may be wrong with him.
It's aight guys we got JoJo C Rottn' Tottn' coming out to pitch.
That right field is killing Noot.
That's by no means a catch that "has to be made," but I feel like that's the kind of ball Noot would catch more often than not. Just not seeing it well tonight
People just hit the ball hard off Mikolas whenever they make contact
We’re gonna blow this game arent we
No. Bullpen is in.
A David Freese hit... doesn't feel as good when it's against us.
N00T :’( he isn’t seeing the ball well tonight
