Cardinals Rally Cat inspires another gra
Wysłany: 12 Grudzień 2018, o 12:14Teams will do all they can to find a way to spark a rally. The 2000Angels had the Rally Monkey. In 2011, the Cardinals had the Rally Squirrel.It looks like the Cardinals have another spirit animal. This time it's a kitten. Soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur ... pic.twitter.com/DNoBCKmDJI MLB (@MLB) August 10, 2017This furry feline ran onto the field Wednesday night during the Cardinals' game against the Royals. On the pitch following the cat's jog,Yadier Molina hit a grand slam to give the Cards an 8-5 lead.If that Justin Upton Jersey had been the only major comeback, the Rally Cat might not be a thing. It's a thing now, though. It's a huge thing. And it's because Dexter Fowler followed up Wednesay night's dramatic grand slam with one of his own Daniel Norris Jersey Thursday.With this grand slam, @DexterFowler has a career high 5 RBI's tonight! #STLCards pic.twitter.com/2WkAgGWxqL All StlCards (@AllStlCards) August 11, 2017That home run gave the Cardinals a 7-3 lead and led them to an 8-6 victory again over their in-state rival. Crazier still was this little tidbit from ESPN. This was the first time in Cardinals history they have hit go-ahead grand slams in back-to-back games.The Rally Cat is a thing and it has been part of a season high six-game winning streak for the Cardinals. They are now just one game behind the Cubs for the NL Central lead.Im not a cat person, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said after Wednesday's game. But I sure like that one.Stud of the NightWho does Sonny Gray have Alan Trammell Cool Base White Jersey to bribe to get some run support? Or at least who does he have to bribe to get a bad outing from his opponent? Marco Estrada to sed sevenscorele s innings for the Blue Jays in a 4-0 win over the Yankees Thursday. He gave up five hits, just three walks and struck out six. That gives him three straight quality starts of at least seven innings pitched.Dud of the NightIt's hard to rag on a guy for just the third start of his career but when one fails to get out of the Kirk Gibson 1984 Practice Navy Jersey fourth inning and gives up six earned runs on nine hits they need to be held accountable. Apologies to Drew VerHagen, but this wasn't the best outing of his young career and he needs to be better than that. The Tigers fell to the Pirates, 7-5.HighlightAndrew Stevenson was known for his defensive wizardry at LSU, and the rookie made sure to show just how good his defense is by bailing out Sean Doolittle in the top of the ninth inning and a 3-2 lead on the line.Tying run on third with 2 outs?@astevenson6 calls game. pic.twitter.com/mcSMr1U3wU MLB (@MLB) August 11, 2017What's nextPirates (57-58) atBlue Jays ( Miguel Cabrera Cool Base White Jersey 54-60) 7:07 ET Jameson Taillon against Marcus Stroman.
