6:45 p.m.
RHP Erick Fedde (7-5, 3.34) vs. RHP Taj Bradley (6-5, 2.71)
BSM // KMOX // WIJR
Also BS South and Southwest ExtraA RHSP. Looking forward to what kind of lineup HAL comes up with. I’m sure Ollie is looking forward to it too.
Gotta get a better performance from Fedde this turn. I think he will. The issue may be the opponent, who will be tough. If the Cards win, it will probably be a 2-1 type of game.
SS Masyn Winn R
1B A. Burleson L
C W. Contreras R
LF B. Donovan L
3B N. Arenado R
RF L. Nootbaar L
DH M. Carpenter L
2B Nolan Gorman L
CF Victor Scott LNo Goldschmidt in the lineup?
I guess we may as well start getting used to it. Especially considering he basically gives us little to nothing.
Goldy has really struggled vs righties, and the K’s are piling up vs them. Good game to sit him.
Fedde faced the TBR back in April. GmSc of 70 and a Win.
If you removed every name in today’s lineup that has contributed little to nothing, you’d be left with a lineup that consisted of 2 or 3 names.
I hope Fedde does a little better in his encore turn. If he does, I’ll look up how to pronounce his name.
Edit…I don’t possess the self control or the patience to wait until later to look up the pronunciation of Fedde’s name, so I did…It rhymes with, Haskell.
I would have pronounced Fedde’s name as it is, so good on that one. Mikolas though, had I not known I would have pronounced “Meh-COLE-is”.
When I was a kid and got my first Bob Uecker card I called him Bob “You-Eck-er”. 😀
Why in the world would you want to remove Donovan from cleanup? Doesn’t anyone remember that his formidable and dangerous bat was once called upon in the post-season to replace Albert Pujols in the 5 slot?
Haha…I would have had an easier time spelling Czechoslovakia when I was a kid than I would have had pronouncing Uecker’s name.
Good job, TD……you spelled it correctly. Kind of ironic that you brought Czechoslovakia up, as I just had my 8 year granddaughter learn how to spell it this past weekend. Anytime she learns a new word, I also have her spell it backwards too. She’s really struggling with spelling Czehoslovakia in reverse, but she’s getting closer. She told me she’d have it done with perfection by this coming weekend.
Fedde should fare well this evening. Let’s call it 6-3 Birds with Burly sending one sailing high up into the right field rafters with a man aboard.
Once she masters that, have her work on Grudzielanek, Schoendienst and Rzepczynski… (I could do them all from memory…)
Maybe the answer is to only face RHP…
The five earned runs allowed by Taj Bradley tonight match his season high, set on May 20 in seven innings.

Just tuned in and a quick look at the box tells me Fedde looks pretty good in front of the home crowd. It also looks like the Redbird bats have provided him a nice lead by way of hitting the daily double. It doesn’t always have to be taters for supper to push runs across.
I guess they want to ensure Fedde has a positive experience after his first clunker. He wasn’t very efficient with 93 pitches. It is right in his normal range as he went over 100 just three times in 21 starts with the Sox. His average with them was 89 pitches in 5 2/3 innings.
