St. Louis Cardinals: The Game is Never Over According to Joe Maddon

St. Louis Cardinals: The Game is Never Over According to Joe Maddon by Dr. Michael D. Miles

Randal Grichuk sent St. Louis Cardinals’ fans home happy on Monday night with his walk-off home run against the Cubs. Twitter told the story of the Cardinals’ exciting win over their arch-rivals.

Before Randal Grichuk hit the home run that beat the Cubs in the bottom of the ninth inning, John Lackey was dominating the St. Louis Cardinals’ lineup.

From the first inning to the seventh inning, Lackey tamed the Redbird offense, except for a sacrifice fly by Aledmys Diaz in the third inning that made it 1-0 Cardinals.

It was one of those nights where it seemed like the Cardinals’ offense was going to drop the ball yet again, much like their hockey friends did down the street. Lackey was simply dominating the Cardinals and making it look like he was a completely new pitcher.

First Holliday, then Piscotty. Lackey gets two awkward fell-for-the-slider almost checks swings, and strikeouts vs. #Cardinals 3/4 hitters. — Derrick Goold (@dgoold) May 24, 2016

Nolan Ryan just took over John Lackey’s body. 5 k’s in a row for him as he strikes out the side in the second. 0-0 Top 3 — Jesse Rogers (@ESPNChiCubs) May 24, 2016

#Cubs Lackey at 59 pitches thru 5 IP; Wainwright at 87 thru 5. Chicago leads 3-1 — Carrie Muskat (@CarrieMuskat) May 24, 2016

John Lackey on pace for 172 strikeouts tonight or something like that. Scary.#STLCards — Cardinal Kingdom (@STLCards18) May 24, 2016

Nice timing for Aledmys Diaz, who puts the #STLCards up 1-0 with a sac fly in the bottom of the third. — Kevin Wheeler Show (@WheelerShow101) May 24, 2016

Many fans on both sides questioned home-plate umpire, Manny Gonzalez’s strike-zone throughout the game

Tonight’s strike zone in the @Cubs vs @Cardinals game is one of the worst I’ve seen in a while. No consistency, just blind calls. — Terrance (@Tkelly42198) May 24, 2016

Strike zone big as thumb tack in Stl. — Frederick D. Gibson (@Sugalean) May 24, 2016

The Cubs’ bats came alive against Adam Wainwright in the fourth and fifth inning, as they pushed across three runs making it a 3-1 game.

Until the seventh inning, the Cubs lead stayed steady and John Lackey seemed to have the Cardinals on their heels. Matt Adams then stepped up to the plate as a pinch-hitter and smashed a two-run home run to center field off of Lackey. This home run scored Yadier Molina and tied the game at three.

That Matt Adams home run was the ninth by a #Cardinals pinch hitter this year. Sixteen teams have zero PH home runs — Mark Saxon (@markasaxon) May 24, 2016

With Wainwright now out of the game, the Cubs threatened to score in the top of the ninth inning. With runners at first and third, Anthony Rizzo stepped up in hopes of driving home the go-ahead run. Rizzo proceeded to hit a soft line drive to third baseman, Matt Carpenter, who tagged third for the unassisted double-play and the final out of the inning after Dexter Fowler had left for home.

Matt Carpenter proves to be the GOAT with that double play — Jon Box (@_JonBox_) May 24, 2016

At this point my love for Matt Carpenter probably can’t get any stronger — karlie (@odam_karlie) May 24, 2016

For Cardinals’ fans, the game only got better from there. After Brandon Moss and Yadier Molina went down at the hands of Adam Warren, Randal Grichuk launched an opposite field home run into the Cardinals’ bullpen to give the Redbirds a 4-3 win.

Randal Grichuk needed that. Boulder fell off his shoulders. Big team win tonight. Comeback win over the Cubs. #STLCards — Dan Buffa (@buffa82) May 24, 2016

Well, I’m a little late because I was driving, but because of a beautiful man named Randal Grichuk, I can say #THATSAWINNER#STLCards — Wes (@Wesley_Wells23) May 24, 2016

In the post game, Grichuk got a Gatorade bath, Matheny had nothing but good things to say and Cardinals’ fans got to go home happy.

Matheny on #STLCards‘ fight: Could feel the vibe in the dugout all night, even when we were down. — Cardinals Magazine (@CardsMagazine) May 24, 2016

Matheny: I’ll absolutely buy into” this is one that #STLCards will take off from. “Sometimes a shot like this can be the catalyst.” — Cardinals Magazine (@CardsMagazine) May 24, 2016
