7:15 p.m.
RHP Adam Wainwright (2-0, 1.64) vs. RHP Sonny Gray (4-1, 2.05)
FS Midwest // KMOXAugust 19, 2020 at 12:07 am #135795Should be a good pitching matchup. Hopefully we can put a lineup together to put runs on the board depending on how the dh works. We already know Carlson will play both games.
Wong
Miller
Goldy
Dejong
Carpenter DH
O’Neill
Fowler
Yadi I hope
Bader/CarlsonAugust 20, 2020 at 9:01 am #136002While Molina’s return seems likely, based on what Shildt told us yesterday, I do not expect DeJong to be activated tonight.
Who would you take off the active roster for Molina? Would you move Knizner to the taxi squad or option out someone else?
Right now, they are going with 16 pitchers and 12 position players. If you want to see who is who, refer to the Roster Matrix.
August 20, 2020 at 9:02 am #136003Wainwright again gets the first start to set the tone for the series and the home stand. That should be good motivation for him, as it was in Chicago.
August 20, 2020 at 9:11 am #136006Who would you take off the active roster for Molina? Would you move Knizner to the taxi squad or option out someone else?
They will probably put Knizer on the taxi squad but if it were me I would keep Knizer on the active roster. To take it a step further if it were up to me Wieters wouldn’t even be on the roster but that is a different discussion.
Schrock could also be at risk to be optioned out but I like what he has done so far.
August 20, 2020 at 9:20 am #136009Good point on Schrock. If he doesn’t go down now, he would almost certainly be the one to go when DeJong is ready.
Then it will be a competition in Springfield between Schrock and Sosa for the next infield opening.
August 20, 2020 at 9:30 am #136019The key for Schrock is can he develop into a defender at multiple positions. As well as Brad Miller has played this year I could see Schrock taking Miller’s place on the roster next year if he could play more than just one position, because he will be cheaper.
August 20, 2020 at 9:37 am #136023Could they not take Brebbia off since he is on the 45 day injured. Do they have to be waived to be brought back?
I can say too that I need to brush up on DH rules as they seemed to get moved into and out of the game several times during the Cubs series. Such things were not necessary info for us NLers.August 20, 2020 at 9:51 am #13603114NyquisTParticipantSchrock was used primarily at 3B last season in Memphis…. he started 54 games there and 4 in LF. The rap against him was that he could only play one position… 2B, that was remedied in ’19.
August 20, 2020 at 1:31 pm #136061I knew he was attempting to play multiple positions but I haven’t heard much feedback on how well that was going. I would like to see him develop into a solid utility guy for us at the big league level.
August 20, 2020 at 3:44 pm #136064The key for Schrock is can he develop into a defender at multiple positions. As well as Brad Miller has played this year I could see Schrock taking Miller’s place on the roster next year if he could play more than just one position, because he will be cheaper.
Cardinals have plenty of time to decide on Miller. I don’t think Schrock will ever put up the power Miller can on offense in limited AB. I know Miller could end up hitting .250 but he’s been the best hitter on the team in his limited games played. We need all the help we can get on offense.
Also consider the infield situation next season. We could have a couple of departures.
August 20, 2020 at 4:25 pm #136071Following last night’s game, we optioned RHP Nabil Crismatt to our Alternate Site.
Today, we activated C Yadier Molina from the Injured List and recalled RHP Jake Woodford from our Alternate Site.
Also, C Matt Wieters has been placed on the 10-day IL (left great toe contusion). pic.twitter.com/FNVkGDjGC6

August 20, 2020 at 6:01 pm #136086Very close 858, well done.
Carp at DH, cleanup, instead of DeJong
Miller at 3B, bats 5th
Carlson in CF 9thAugust 20, 2020 at 6:11 pm #136090Waino and Yadi together again! 🙌 pic.twitter.com/BItnGU2QaC

August 20, 2020 at 6:15 pm #136091I see you had Miller batting 2nd, it’s Edman at SS batting second. DeJong inactive messed up your lineup, otherwise well done.
August 20, 2020 at 6:41 pm #136092Cincy is 10-12 overall, 5-1 vs LH SP, 5-11 vs a RH SP
(BR)August 20, 2020 at 7:24 pm #136096This is a comedy of errors so far. Two errors, and Miller blows the double play ball and then throws the ball away. Reds take a 1-0 lead.
August 20, 2020 at 7:25 pm #136097O’Neill with a great catch in left, but another run scores. 2-0 Reds.
August 20, 2020 at 7:46 pm #136100Galvis homers and it’s 3-0.
August 20, 2020 at 7:57 pm #136102Yadi drives in two with a bases loaded single and it’s 3-2.
August 20, 2020 at 8:09 pm #136104Waino is not good tonight. The ruined first inning is looming large as the Reds have a 4-2 lead and threatening more.
August 20, 2020 at 8:12 pm #136106Man Goldschmidt is getting a workout at first base tonight. Uncle Charlie just showed up. Let’s get some runs.
August 20, 2020 at 8:13 pm #136107It’s not completely his fault. He’s facing a lineup that 7 of the hitters are lefthanded or switch hitters. That’s not a good mix for him with the lack of a good fastball. Uncle Charlie has to be clicking in order to keep them at bay. Galvis just whiffed on it.
August 20, 2020 at 8:39 pm #136113Wainwright seems to be settling in. Has retired nine straight and his pitch count is at 71 through the fifth.
