I think the Cards are about out of relief pitchers. They are on their 8th in the game and Hancock is out in the 13th for his 3rd inning of work. I gave their roster a quick glance and I don't see another reliever that's available. They even had to resort to keeping Hancock in the game to bat in the bottom of the 12th with the bases loaded and only 1 out. LaRussa decided to chance it with Hancock and he struck out.Originally Posted by Bob Borkowski
TLR loves to shuffle the players in and out. Many times during the season he will paint himself into a corner when a game like this presents itself.
Cubs beat Cardinals 5-4 in 14. We gain a game on them in the standings!
