So, it literally was “gut-check time” for Nathan in the ninth?

romer,
“Any explanation from Gardy, LENIII?”

My guess is that, before the game, the position players were given a system (inning-number-based?) to differentiate between:
1) which coach would be giving “live” signals and
2) which coaches would be giving bogus signals.

Perkins was probably elsewhere (in the bullpen?) when the “system” was briefed to the position players.

where is Punto? I thought he was ready? Put him on the DL and backdate it……We need players….Tolleson sounds good.

Pujols is a great player and a dangerous hitter but last time I looked he is not batting 1.000.

Solid win. Reminded me of the 2002-2004 Twins style of ball…Offense scores 3 runs, starting pitching goes 7 giving up 1 or 2 runs, set-up man (this year men) puts a 0 up in the 8th, and the closer (and Nathan is by far the best we’ve had over this decade) closes out the 9th. Again, solid win.

I watched the game in tulsa, ok so i had to listen to the st luis commentator guys (i like them. after listening to the white sox guys, any other teams guys are a treat.) They were amazed every time our pitcher would pitch to pujols. They just couldn’t believe that anyone would think they could take him.
