1:15 p.m.
RHP Daniel Ponce de Leon (1-0, 1.80) vs. LHP Brett Anderson (0-1, 7.20)
BSM // KMOXApril 10, 2021 at 7:21 pm #157677Knizner will be in the lineup for this one.
I am going to assume O’Neill will not be in the lineup since he was taken out yesterday.
DeJong needs to go down in the order. He’s K’d what, 11 times in 28 atbats now.
We have some big holes in the lineup. Yes, I know its early but there’s a reason people study history.

April 11, 2021 at 8:09 am #157693Just the simple move of sliding deJong below Yadi in the order would help. Get all the guys who are contributing in a row without the dead spot. I would even do it today with Knizner in there.
April 11, 2021 at 10:19 am #157702Curious to see the lineup today for this one. And I just checked the Doppler Radar and it looks like the St. Louis area is clear. We should get this one in.
And my din-din today, which will occur at first pitch, will consist of a center cut rib chop, some cut up hotdogs in bar-b-q sauce, a piece of cherry pie from the Amish restaurant, and an ice cream sandwich. Along with a Sunkist Orange and then a cigar. Yum Yum.

April 11, 2021 at 11:08 am #157710#Cardinals have made a roster move as expected — Jake Woodford has been optioned to Sauget. A lineup has not been posted. The addition of a position player (i.e., Lane Thomas) would not be a surprise. Info coming @stltoday.

April 11, 2021 at 11:08 am #157711O'Neill to IL.

April 11, 2021 at 11:31 am #1577171. Tommy Edman (S) 2B
2. Paul Goldschmidt (R) 1B
3. Nolan Arenado (R) 3B
4. Yadier Molina (R) C
5. Paul DeJong (R) SS
6. Dylan Carlson (S) RF
7. Austin Dean (R) LF
8. Lane Thomas (R) CF
9. Daniel Ponce de Leon (R) PApril 11, 2021 at 11:35 am #157719I’d switch Dean and DeJong. Knizner has to start considering calling Jeff Gillooly
April 11, 2021 at 11:39 am #157722lol, That’s a good one Mr.P
April 11, 2021 at 11:46 am #157725That’s a bad lineup construction. No wonder the offense is struggling. Wrong people in the wrong spots.
April 11, 2021 at 11:53 am #157729I like Austin Dean. I mentioned over the winter that he is a poor man’s version of Adam Duvall. He might be more like Ryan Ludwick. He should start every day while O’Neill is out.
April 11, 2021 at 11:58 am #157730My quick take on Sunday's #stlcards news, led by Lane Thomas and Johan Oviedo coming in to replace Tyler O'Neill and Jake Woodford. (free) https://t.co/cXqvgOFCHb pic.twitter.com/MKM4ggyDys

April 11, 2021 at 12:32 pm #157733Does anybody know what Thomas’s platoon split looks like in MiLB. Not enough MLB to tell anything.
April 11, 2021 at 12:53 pm #157736Available only by year Bling, totals at all levels, that I know of.
2019: .837 vs rhp, .897 vs lhp
2018: .854 vs rhp, .720 vs lhp
2017: .653 vs rhp, .817 vs lhpApril 11, 2021 at 1:13 pm #157739It’s not a must win but it would be nice to take another series. I’ll be watching it w/o sound as that irritating Brad Thompson just nauseates me. Go Cardinals.
April 11, 2021 at 1:16 pm #157741Wifey and I just finished a lovely rack of lamb for Sunday dinner, accompanied by flageolet beans and a green salad and topped off with a piece of chocolate cake and a cup of coffee. Now let’s see about giving these Brewers what for.
Rah Cardinals!April 11, 2021 at 1:22 pm #157742CiF and rat you guys are killin me. I’m having a hot dog and the last of a tub of supermarket slaw. But I do have a grape Nehi, so eat your heart out.
April 11, 2021 at 1:24 pm #157743This wasn’t what I meant by “what for.”
April 11, 2021 at 1:24 pm #157744I interpret Shildt’s comments as he will platoon Thomas. Too bad. I could live with Carlson, Thomas and Dean for a while and see what happens. I think someone else said the same.
April 11, 2021 at 1:32 pm #157745Cardinal In France & wifey are poster people for good healthy eating……RatsBuddy & Whitey Herdog….not so much.
April 11, 2021 at 1:32 pm #157746Not a good start for Ponce. Three runs in and struggling to get the pitcher with the bases loaded.
April 11, 2021 at 1:35 pm #157747Garcia seems to like Cardinal pitching!
April 11, 2021 at 1:42 pm #157748Anderson is the exact sort of pitcher the Cards have struggled with…a mediocre junk ball veteran. Two hits in the first three at bats is a good start but the Goldy double play stifled things.
April 11, 2021 at 1:44 pm #157749Bottom of 1. Brett Anderson dealing for The Crew and staked with an early 4-0 advantage.
Edman – Lofts a soft single to right in front of an advancing Garcia to get things rolling for the Cards.
Goldy – Grounds the 3-2 pitch out to Urias at short and this has “two” written all over it as he flips to Peterson at 2nd for one and then over to Vogenbach’s waiting mitt at 1st to complete the twin killing….ouch that hurt!
Arenado – Lines a shot to the right of Urias at short and out into left for a base hit.
Yadi – Grounds it right at Peterson at 2nd and he’ll easily dispatch the trudging Yadier Molina at 1st to retire the side.
Cards 0
Brewers 4DeJong –
April 11, 2021 at 1:45 pm #157750Oviedo’s BBRef page says he hit 5 batters in 24 innings last year. Let’s bring him in. Maybe scare them to death.
