Yesterday, the Cardinals looked primed to take 3 out of 4 to the Pirates when Alex Reyes blew a two-run lead in the 9th inning. He walked two batters and allowed a two-run home run. It was in theory a crushing loss. I mean it was a crushing loss to the Cardinals players and Cardinals organization. I feel somehow removed from caring too much at this point and I reacted with a shrug, much like I did to the meltdown on Thursday.
Reyes blown save yesterday does allow me to take issue with an article that I’ve thought about ever since, that I wish I could blame for jinxing Alex Reyes, but well, I understand something like what’s happened was always coming.
