Wacha to come off the DL to start. Someone is going down to Memphis after Sunday’s game.
6:05 p.m. RHP Michael Wacha (1-0, 4.64) vs. LHP Patrick Corbin (2-0, 2.48) Fox Sports Midwest // KMOX
I thought there were already some posts on this thread. Oh well, guess I imagined it.
Anyway, a tough week ahead. Four games with Washington and then three at Wrigley. If we go 3-4 this week that would be okay with me. The Cubs have a quick two game set on Tues/Wed in Seattle and hopefully the Seattle pitching wont allow 29 runs those two games like they did their last two games against Texas.

Going under .500 is never OK with me, no matter who the opponents are. Come October, if the Cards are still playing, they’ll need to win games against teams like these. I’ll say 5-2 or better would make me happy and 4-3 would be acceptable, so long as 2 of the wins are in Chicago.
Will be interesting to see the OF lineup. I would bet on it being the same. Shildt seems to have that “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” tendency.
This is a bit surprising. I figured we would send a position player down to go back to 13 pitchers since we don’t have another off day for two weeks.
I like Helsley and he’ll surely be back eventually. His fly ball tendencies may make him iffy in a high leverage spot, but he could fill Leone’s role in middle innings admirably in a pinch.
If they can split in Washington considering they are facing Corbin, Stras and Max, I would consider that a win. Taking a minimum 2 of 3 in Chicago is a must since I’ll be at the Friday and Saturday games sporting my new Goldy jersey! It wasn’t ordered until roughly 90 seconds after the extension was announced….

Gyorko at 2ndbase? He did hit a ball hard yesterday, finally.
And at least we know Wong will be in there in the late innings as a defensive replacement. Unless the game is out of hand, one way or another.

You can’t walk the pitcher with the bases loaded Wacha!!!
This inning has a potential to be a disaster.
3-0 Nats
Couple of good pieces of hitting by Washington this inning. Wacha hasn’t helped his cause with the walks.
I am.thinking that if Gant had not been forced to pitch yesterday we might have seen a pinch hitter for Wacha
What a chump AB by Molina. Corbin knew exactly where he’d pitch Molina to get that 1st pitch hack for the DP.
Nice response by the Cards in the 5th to take a 4-3 lead.
Edit: make it 6-3 as Martinez and Molina each drive in another run. Corbin looks like bird seed to the Cardinal batters this inning.
Ozuna 28 RBI in Cardinals 1st 28 games is the most since Pujols 31 in 2009

Man, Goldy has never really felt like he has heated up this year save for that one series and he’s got a .918 OPS. Hopefully he and Carp can catch fire to carry the offense when Ozuna and Dejong inevitably slow down.
