RHP Dakota Hudson (0-2, 3.32) vs. RHP Anthony DeSclafani (1-1, 5.71)
FS Midwest // ESPN // KMOXSomething to think about this coming week…
The Reds are coming up next week for the #stlcards. Just saw Jesse Winker blast his 10th home run of the season. He and teammate Nicholas Castellanos (also 10 HRs) have more long balls this season between them than the entire #stlcards roster (19).

When asked if we might see the Sunday lineup again on Monday, Mike Shildt said:
“You don’t need to sit down to think it is coming back again.”
I take that as a yes…
Shildt channeling his inner Matheny, I see. Hopefully they can get to Desclafani. Some of our hitters have done well against him over the years.
DeSclafani has always struggled vs lefty batters, and again this season allowing a 4 digit ops (sss). Same lineup fits well.
Updated OPS+:
Wong 62
Edman 88
Goldy 164
Miller 168
Dejong 122
Yadi 92
Carp 72
Fowler 129
Bader 121O’Neill 64
Carlson 45
Knizner -7
Nogowski 38The lineup is looking more solid, but the bench is weak. It also may be time to consider flipping Fowler and Wong in the lineup, or having Edman leading off. Of course, small sample sizes do apply.
It also may be time to consider flipping Fowler and Wong in the lineup
I was thinking the same thing. Fowler didn’t do well last year when they tried him at leadoff but I think it is worth another try. Wong isn’t getting it done.
Just to cover the rest of the team, ERA+:
Waino 166
Hudson 134
Flaherty 230
KK 411
Ponce 57
Oviedo 125

The Cardinals lineup has yet to be posted. Here are the hitters Hudson will be facing.
1. Joey Votto (L) 1B
2. Nick Castellanos (R) RF
3. Jesse Winker (L) DH
4. Eugenio Suarez (R) 3B
5. Mike Moustakas (L) 2B
6. Aristides Aquino (R) LF
7. Shogo Akiyama (L) CF
8. Freddy Galvis (S) SS
9. Tucker Barnhart (L) CI see the Reds have Aristotle back in action. Last I heard he was at the alternate site but things do change quickly these days.
Same as Sunday. Same as Shildt suggested.
1. Kolten Wong (L) 2B
2. Tommy Edman (S) LF
3. Paul Goldschmidt (R) 1B
4. Brad Miller (L) DH
5. Paul DeJong (R) SS
6. Yadier Molina (R) C
7. Matt Carpenter (L) 3B
8. Dexter Fowler (S) RF
9. Dylan Carlson (S) CFMaybe it will be Knizner in Yadi’s uniform. Things are starting to get a bit crazy here folks. Or is this supposed to be Yadi’s 2000th game or something. We may have Yadi the Jedi.
It’s bad enough the Cardinals consistently play Carlson instead of Bader & O’Neill, but now Edman, too?
Should have just traded Bader & O’Neill at the deadline.
