Ep. 535: Kyle Gibson was stunned that Lourdes Gurriel Jr. launched a well-located sinker for a game-altering swing
Description
Brenden Schaeffer discusses the Cardinals' 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks on Saturday night, April 13, 2024.
Kyle Gibson gave up a costly three-run home run to Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and after the game he conceded that he should have let Willson Contreras call the slider that he was angling for before PitchCom issues caused some problems for the St. Louis battery ahead of the fateful pitch to Gurriel.
Even in giving credit to his catcher for a well-called game, though, Gibson said you'd have to ask Gurriel what he was looking for to be able to turn on the sinker in off the plate and change the game with one swing. Was Gurriel simply lasered in on the pitch for whatever reason?
Regardless, we also dive into some base running issues and the continued hot and cold nature of clutch hitting for the Cardinals in the early portion of the year.
