RHP Miles Mikolas (4-4, 2.93) or LHP Matthew Liberatore vs. RHP JT Brubaker (0-6, 4.60) or TBA
BSM // KMOX // WIJR
Also BSSE and BSSW+A day game on Tuesday. I hope people come prepared. It’s supposed to be about 95 in St. Louis on Tuesday. That heatwave is about to rear it’s ugly head this week.

A few years back I sat in the first row of the upper deck in RF, close to the RF foul pole. It was a July, Sunday afternoon game, and it was by far the most hot I’d ever been in my life. The heat doesn’t bother me and the 110 heat index that day, sitting out there in the sun, was HOT. I’ve sat through some hot games, July 2010 was another scorcher, but that day in the upper deck was like nothing I’d sat through before. I can’t imagine a huge crowd for a Tuesday, noon start time vs Pittsburgh. They should definitely allow whoever is there to move wherever they want today and get out of some of the heat to make their day enjoyable.
Here is the #STLCards lineup behind LHP Matthew Liberatore in Game 1 of the doubleheader vs. the #Pirates :
Donovan RF
Gorman 2B
Goldschmidt DH
Arenado 3B
O'Neill LF
Pujols 1B
Bader CF
Molina C
Sosa SS
Liberatore LHP

I’m surprised Yadi is catching the 101 degree day game, but I’d guess they want him catching the prized prospect Libby which you can’t argue with.
Pujols vs a RHP, can’t say I’m a huge fan of that. I’d guess a very hot Tuesday afternoon game with very few tickets sold is the reasoning behind it.
I guess the FO wants to allow Pujols to set the record….. and get that over with. 1st game of a DH with the Pirates at home…. good time for ap to play 1st.
Maybe Molina will catch half the game and then go to the mound to finish up.
If I were sitting on that concrete today I’d be wearing a big hat and some loose fitting clothes. Had plenty of that in my lifetime.
Line up looks pretty good to me. Albert can still do some sac stuff and gets rh hits once in a while. Is Dickerson hurt?
Too early for din-dins?
Go Cardinals!Do any of you statistics munchers out there know if Goldy ever swings at the first pitch? Just seems like he quite often eating first pitch strikes.
Too early for din-dins?
Never too early for a good quality din-din, Wooster. I’ve got rare prime rib, baby red potatoes, asparagus spears and 3 Popeye’s apple cinnamon pies on tap for din-din later on today. Albert with a solid 1 out single here in the 2nd inning in a scoreless affair.
And now Yadi with a 2 out single. I wonder how many times those two have accrued hits in the same inning? I’m guessing maybe about 275.
I’m anxious to see Libby face an LA Dodger squad or an upstart Philadelphia team, on the road. Working in difficult and hostile conditions will only further his maturation process. Yeah, it may be a little over his head at this time, but facing the Pirates and cubbies every time out will only put him in kind of a holding pattern.
Goldy a 2 run center field tater to put the Cards on top 2-0 here in the 3rd frame. Donovan had reached 1st base with a single to right.
Donovan looks like hes been a big leaguer for years. Lucky us!
I’ve seen Goldy hit first pitch when its a fastball center-center. Like all great hitters its really what hes looking for. Just now Goldy Dinger!
Haven’t seen your din-din yet CIF. We’re having Taco Tuesday! Made beef and noodles and salad last night!Donovan has been good to this point. I’d like to see Burleson next. Love to see the youth infusion
when they get sluggish.Indeed Wooster, Donovan is here to stay. KsCardFan…..yes, wonder if we’ll see Burleson this year? Your TT (Taco Tuesday) night is always a winner. If you’re a player, would you rather play in real cold conditions or real hot like today? For me it’s a no-brainer……give me the heat. But as far as living goes, I’m partial to the cooler weather.
Goldy continues his determined pursuit for NL MVP. With him, Donovan, Edman, and a few others I am really starting to like the look of this lineup. It could be dangerous. With Jack coming back to join Waino, Mikolas, and Hudson the rotation is starting to take shape. If we could just find a couple of more bullpen options for Ollie this team could make some noise.
And Yadi’s speed forces an infield throwing error out of Castillo……and mere moments later, Castillo airmails Sosa’s grounder and subsequent throw over the 1st baseman’s head….. only one out. Hit it on the ground to Castillo!
Wow did Gorman tattoo that pitch, but unfortunately it drifted about a foot foul down the right field line.
Balk or no balk? Better call it for what it was….a balk. And the umps get it right. Shelton doesn’t like it, but he’s a baseball man….. certainly he knows it was a balk. And he’s on the precipice of getting ejected.
