Originally 6:10 p.m. but will it be moved up to start 30 minutes after G1 due to weather threat?
Bullpen vs. TBA
FS Midwest // KMOXAugust 15, 2020 at 2:37 pm #135290Start time will be 3:15 p.m. CT.
August 15, 2020 at 2:55 pm #135293Jake Woodford gets the start.
1. Tommy Edman (S) SS
2. Matt Carpenter (L) DH
3. Paul Goldschmidt (R) 1B
4. Tyler O’Neill (R) LF
5. Brad Miller (L) 3B
6. Dylan Carlson (S) RF
7. Matt Wieters (S) C
8. Max Schrock (L) 2B
9. Harrison Bader (R) CFAugust 15, 2020 at 3:00 pm #135294This is nitpicking, but wasn’t O’Neills arm a major plus? Aka, what is the reasoning of him in LF and Carlson in RF?
August 15, 2020 at 3:07 pm #135295Jake Woodford is set to make his ML debut. He was TCN’s No. 8 prospect heading into 2020:

Carlson will be the floater, it appears. Not surprising to me, FWIW. Not sending the signal yet that any of the three original OF starters are being displaced.
August 15, 2020 at 3:24 pm #135301Good luck Jake!
August 15, 2020 at 3:30 pm #135304Woodford has a 1-2-3, 9-pitch 1st in his debut!
August 15, 2020 at 3:33 pm #1353051-2-3 first inning for Woodford in his debut. Only needed 10 pitches. Fastball consistently at 93-94, threw his curveball for strikes and showed a nice cutter, which registers as a slider on Gameday. Worth noting he abandoned the slider after the 2018 season.
August 15, 2020 at 3:45 pm #135313I can admit when I’m wrong so here it goes……
I have been a “trade Woodford” protester on here and with my personal Cardinal fan friends for a while. But, after the first two innings, I must admit I was impressed and they basically need 7-8 starters the next 55 days. So I officially remove myself from that distinction until the offseason.
I was also on the “trade Knizner” protest for a while, so that he “still had value”. With Yadi out, having Knizner and Weiters, with all of the double headers, as the two backups is a huge luxury that I can’t imagine any other team having.
August 15, 2020 at 3:47 pm #135314Graceful admission, CFICT.
My experience is that depth is rarely wasted, though it may seem like it in the short term sometimes.
August 15, 2020 at 3:54 pm #135315O’Neill seems like he is seeing the ball well by laying off breaking balls, out of the zone balls, etc. That’s extremely encouraging IMO
August 15, 2020 at 3:55 pm #135316Carp with a chance to do some damage here in the 3rd.
August 15, 2020 at 4:01 pm #135317Carp flies out, and then Luis Robert takes Woodford deep to start the 3rd and it’s 1-0 Chicago.
August 15, 2020 at 4:02 pm #135318Ouch! Gotta keep the ball low and away to Robert. That has been his weakness this season.
Woodford has looked very good through three!
August 15, 2020 at 4:02 pm #135319The pros and cons of signing Luis Robert were again discussed on the International Signings thread just yesterday morning…
August 15, 2020 at 4:07 pm #135321Good work by Woodford to get the grounder and 2 Ks after giving up the big fly.
August 15, 2020 at 4:10 pm #135322Yes … Goldy ties it with a shot!
August 15, 2020 at 4:14 pm #135323Cabrera warming up, I would have bet on him getting one of the 5 starts at Wrigley.
August 15, 2020 at 4:33 pm #135324Two of the starts are open. Gomber coming off the IL? Reyes?
I guess Cabrera cannot be ruled out if he throws just one inning today.
August 15, 2020 at 4:41 pm #135325Carp in a spot to do some damage. The club needs him to get things going.
He got a run home with the ground out to the right side.
August 15, 2020 at 4:48 pm #135327Way to go Goldy! Tie game.
August 15, 2020 at 4:49 pm #135328O’Neil a two run bomb!
August 15, 2020 at 4:50 pm #135329TYLER!!!!!!
