Weaver up and Mayers down to Memphis. Carpenter starting at 2nd for the first time this year.
#STLCards vs. Miami (7/3):
Carpenter 2B
Pham CF
Piscotty RF
Gyorko 3B
Molina C
Grichuk LF
Voit 1B
DeJong SS
Wainwright P— St. Louis Cardinals (@Cardinals) July 3, 2017
Well our offense has been a joke most of this year as well so I don’t mind them trying to get more bats in the lineup.
our offense in the last month has been pretty impressive
Carp will have to shake some rust off at 2b…but we arent putting him there forever…this is probably a few days this week before wong comes back after the AS break…he played there 40 games last year and had 4 errors..1 every 10 games is serviceable…his range is great but he’ll do the routine things…
ill take a couple lost grounders only Wong can get plus the upside of Voit’s offense over the defense of Garcia and his weak bat… at least right now…for a week or so…
question is…what happens if he keeps hitting and Voit takes off, then Wong comes back? Good problems to have, but will be interesting to see how it all works out…
this week might be a bigger testo f Voit at 1b and his bat playing more than it is about Carp playing 2b…
Good start for the offense…4-0 after 1. Lots of hits off Locke…you’ve gotta figure the team can hit a lefty pretty well with this lineup.
Waino with a good start so far too…6 strikeouts and no runs through 3. Would be nice to have him be consistently decent.
I think it’s more of trying to get Voit more of a look and a lineup without Wong and Fowler little more offense. Carpenter has been awful against lefties this year but he’s got to play with the guys we’ve got out.
Nice to have a yawner. Wainwright seems like he’s got them off balance on many of his pitches tonight.
We’ll be lucky to hang on and win this one. If it gets close Rosenberg will probably come into the game and then who knows what will happen.

A 5-run lead is big…except it doesn’t seem that way when it was 11. We got this though. Lyons has the breaker really moving. Maybe not tonight, but there are some games I’d like to see Matheny use Lyons for more than an inning in a setup role when he looks sharp his first inning.
