FROM THE CARDINALS PERSPECTIVE
A 2019 DREAM-CHISE WITH ALL LEGENDS INCORPORATED INTO THEIR RESPECTIVE ORGANIZATIONS
***
3 Game home series vs Chicago
July 30- Aug 1
Game 2:
Gomber vs Hendricks
This was an all out pitchers duel until the 6th inning when Gomber hit the wall that Hendricks would blow right past en route to a complete game shutout, striking out 10! He got in a zone early that the Cardinals just simply never could get past! Williams and Banks had huge days again as Williams is fighting for (and has a legitimate shot at) the triple crown!

Game 3:
Gibson vs Darvish
Gibson looked sharp and was very effective through 5, but had a lot of tough outs and was forced to throw a lot of pitches, chasing him from the Game way earlier than the Cardinals hoped! Forcing a very over used bullpen (lately) into action! And they would get caught! St Louis’ offense would put up a solid fight, but fall short, stranding the bases loaded in the 9th down by 2 with Hornsby at the plate!
Heartbreaking series, as the Cardinals now must kind of admit to themselves that the division belongs pretty securely to the Cubs, and shift their focus to the wildcard race that they are 1 game out of, but now tied with the hard charging Phillies club. Bottom line, they must clean up their game and hopefully get hot in these last couple months! This is where they define who they are!
Next up, a west coast trip with a quick 2 game set in Oakland, then on to LA where they face a Dodgers team who are presently chasing history with a 21 game winning streak! Doing well on this trip could certainly turn morale back around if they can prove capable of hanging with a couple of the best teams in the league!
