Game 136 Yanks (Warren) vs Cards (Gibson)

Forgot to add that if any of my generation who were around think I've left something important out about Kirk or Bob Gibson, feel free to add/correct me on it.

"Zaftig" 9.68 ERA is a most unsusual adjective, baseball-wise, Mikey.

Sinker tails out to Burleson, ball 1
Slider hangs outside, 2-0
Slider hits the backdoor, 2-1
Change tails well outside, 3-1

So Boone compares Warren to Schmidt? I wonder who else around here said the same thing?
Now I wonder if it's a good thing that Boone and I think alike...
Misses low with a slider, ball 4.

Donovan takes a sinker in the zone up and away, 0-1
Takes a slider outside, 1-1
FB up and in jams him enough so that his grounder goes right to Torres, throws him out, inning over.

Bottom 1, 0-0.
Solid 1st inning for Warren, a BB and 3 grounders and 17 pitches.

Soto squares to bunt, takes a bounced fastball, 1-0
Shows bunt, tries to jab bunt a high sinker, fouls it off, 1-1. Bad technique, never bunt a high pitch and don't jab with the bat.
Cutter inside taken, 2-1
Swings over a sinker below middle, hits Herrera on the follow through.
FB inside.
It doesn't work this way, but I subjectively feel that Soto should Gibson every time up.
And it doesn't work that time, takes a change that drops just below and outside middle for a ꓘ. Bad Sign: Soto GAVE Gibson two strikes that at bat.

1-2-3 for Gibson in the 1st, just 9 pitches.
Gibson is the type of pitcher this team MUST hit. I know he's a veteran and he's had some gone seasons, and pitched a couple of good games against them, but he's been mostly mediocre his entire career and he is right-handed. They have to hit this guy today. There's no excuse.

Change dives low, outer half, 1-0 on Nootbaar.
Sinker outside middle, bounced to the right side, Torres backhands, throws him out, 2 down.
