This game... was weird.
Watching a game that you will be recapping is a difficult thing to explain. For me, I watch every play a little differently than I otherwise would. Not only am I paying extra attention to technical aspects for later critique, but I also attempt to make note of any narrative to explore, any pattern to investigate, or any key point to focus on. Normally, these things just sort of write themselves. But in a game like this, what is a girl to do?
Crusty old-man Lackey shows young whipper-snappers he still knows a thing or two
Kolten Wong atones for early defensive gaffe
Cardinal bullpen soils bed with rare lapse of control
Cardinal Devil Magic in peak form for playoff push
See what I mean?
