1:15 p.m.
RHP Jordan Hicks (1-2, 3.00) vs. RHP Zach Davies (1-1, 5.40)
BSM // KMOX // WIJR
Also BSSO and BSSW+As I’ve said from Day One, our lineup construction is terrible. Hopefully Marmol finally realizes the team isn’t hitting and changes things up for this one. I’d hate to lose 3 of 4 to the lowly D’Backs.

The Reds DFA’d Aristides Aquino. I am going to assume some team will take a chance on him. He was really good for a couple of months back in 2019.
And in case anyone is interested, I sure hope we do not.

Doppler Radar shows no green stuff in the area. This one should be good to go.
And I am anxious to see today’s lineup. Hopefully there will be some changes.
Oh, and the Reds lost again last night at Colorado. They are now 3-18. One never knows but this could be a historic bad season in the Queen City.

1. Tommy Edman (S) 2B
2. Harrison Bader (R) CF
3. Tyler O’Neill (R) LF
4. Nolan Arenado (R) 3B
5. Albert Pujols (R) 1B
6. Corey Dickerson (L) DH
7. Dylan Carlson (S) RF
8. Andrew Knizner (R) C
9. Paul DeJong (R) SSPardon me, I almost forgot.
Sunday afternoon din-din will consist of baked bar-b-q chicken, beef & noodles, a Mt. Dew, and a bowl of chocolate ice cream. All whilst I sit on the couch with Whitey Herdog, about the time of the first pitch. Then afterwards one, maybe two, 7×50 Palma Real Presidente cigars.
I sure hope O’Neill does something this year. I am afraid last year was his career year and he’s not going to get close to .286/34 like he did last year. And DeJong is playing his way out of St. Louis. There’s simply no doubt about that.

Well I guess one way to improve your offense is to sit your hottest hitter, goldy, reinsert one of your weaker hitters, dejong. A scheduled day off. Far as lineup construction, marmol has constantly changed the lineup. He’s hardly ever put the same lineup out there. Which I don’t personally like. I understand you got to get some guys at bats but I’m a fan of consistent lineups. If a guy is consistently showing he isn’t doing the job, bench him, give someone else a chance but not just one game. Sosa should be getting more starts, don’t care what pauly is making. But right now too many guys are struggling, they need to get it going.
Just saw marmol owned up for not taking mikolas out after 7 last night. Nice to see. Managers don’t always do that.
Well, that’s an interesting lineup. All I can say is why not. Nothing else seems to be working lately. Though I’m afraid, sadly, I’ve joined the “it’s time to give up on deJong” movement. Let’s just go ahead and do whatever it is we’re going to do and get on with it. Let’s win one tonight. Rah Cardinals!
Tonight wifey and I enjoyed a monkfish mauresque with boiled potatoes and a salad. And I’m about to make myself a strawberry sundae as I await first pitch.
When you go cheap knowing your OF is questionable, you reap what you sow. Was easy to see this outfield was full of question marks. You go out and get a star, then your weakest link becomes the 4th man. This is turning into 70’s Cardinal baseball. Put just enough into the team that you keep the fans coming. 19th in outfielder spending. The list of teams below us is very weak.
Well so far it looks about the same as last night. I don’t like moving bader up, that has never worked out. Nothing I’ve seen of Dickerson tells me why we signed him when we have Gorman down in the minors. O’Neil and Carson are doing what bader was doing a couple of years ago. Not swinging or hitting early strikes and then chasing out of zone.
I wish Jimmy ballgame was calling this one. These two guys are just talking like there isn’t a game going on. Edman walks. Two on one out, got a scoring chance.
