Barring a miracle, this was a choke job by the bullpen.. or really, just 1 guy

Absolutely all on Keller. Everyone else was more than serviceable on a hot, windy day. Like I said, he wasn't gonna go through the whole season pitching like he has and every reliever has these kinds of outings. Hopefully it's a one off for him

left out a few facts

horsefeathers Keller just had to give up that HR.  Any other outcome would have been fine

Seiya really needs a knock here. Been a rough day at the plate for him.

Keller picked today to have NOTHING out there. Only bad game he's had all year and it's gonna cost us a W. Burleson and Pozo combined for about 1000 feet on their homers and as I type this Ian whiffs again. He needs a day or two off...just horrible. 

As someone else said, he was a little unlucky. Besides the home runs (no defending those), he gave up a bloop single, a bunt single, and a single that could have been a GIDP had we not been shifting.

The Cardinals have so many lefties damn. Was hoping PCA would actually have a plus matchup for once

I can't wait to watch Dansby with RISP in the bottom of the 9th

Give credit to the pen for the simple fact we haven’t blamed them for a loss since April it seems like.

Good points 10k....that's baseball. He has been getting those breaks all year long but not today.

The Mariners say Hi but to your point they've been lights out just about all year, but not today.

At this point, I'd take the tying run coming to the plate, whoever it is.  Never know on a day like today

I know, I don't even need to update my "losses after leading in the 8th inning or later" statistic because there really hasnt been many (or any?) for a while.
