MARLINS @ CARDINALS 8:10 PM

 

 

Daniel Barone vs Adam Wainright

 

 

 

Taken from the Marlins website:

 

 

Mired in their worst slump of the season, the Marlins take to the road where they've enjoyed more success.

 

The Marlins head to St. Louis with an away record of 29-31.

 

For whatever reason, the Marlins have struggled mightily at home, where they fell to 27-38 after matching their season-worst slump of six straight losses.

 

The Marlins open a six-game road trip that begins on Tuesday night in St. Louis and concludes on Sunday in Cincinnati.

 

In late July, the Marlins dropped two of three to the Cardinals at Dolphin Stadium.

 

Throughout their history, the Marlins have had their troubles in St. Louis. Florida last won a series at Busch Stadium in 2003, taking two of three.

 

In their history, the Marlins are 26-34 at St. Louis, but they've never been swept in the Cardinals' home stadium. In 2005, the clubs split a four-game set.

 

Daniel Barone, recently called up from Triple-A Albuquerque, will make his third MLB start. The right-hander is 0-1 with a 6.23 ERA. His longest big league stint was 4 2/3 innings at Shea Stadium in a no-decision against the Mets on Aug. 10.

 

The Cardinals are going with right-hander Adam Wainwright.

 

Since the All-Star break, Wainwright is 4-2 (2.63) in seven starts. He is 1-1 (1.96) in three August outings.

 

Pitching matchup

FLA: RHP Daniel Barone (0-1, 6.23 ERA)

Barone's second Major League start was a step back from his first. The 24-year-old rookie took the loss against Arizona on Thursday, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks in four innings. The right-hander, who threw 52 of his 89 pitches for strikes, lost for the first time in 15 starts at all levels dating back to May 22. Barone hasn't made it into the sixth in either of his two starts since being promoted.

 

STL: RHP Adam Wainwright (11-9, 4.01 ERA)

Wainwright rolls on, making it clearer and clearer that he's the class of the St. Louis pitching staff. The Cards are doing without Chris Carpenter, but Wainwright is doing an excellent impersonation of a legitimate No. 1 lately. Since mid-May, he has a 3.05 ERA and is averaging nearly 6 2/3 innings per start.

 

Player to watch

Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols is 4-for-10 against the Marlins this season, and for his career he is hitting .286 (40-for-140) with six home runs and 19 RBIs vs. Florida pitching.

Rolen, Duncan sit to start Marlins series

By Rick Hummel

ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH

08/21/2007

 

With third baseman Scott Rolen needing an occasional day off to give his troublesome left shoulder a rest and with left fielder Chris Duncan in an awful strikeout binge, Cardinals manager Tony La Russa has made some slight lineup adjustments tonight for the start of a three-game series with Florida at Busch Stadium.

 

Rolen will be replaced in the lineup by rookie Brendan Ryan, who will hit ninth and play third although Rolen said he expected to be in the game for defense later on.

We'll pass....

Treanor's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

That was a nice piece with the kid who's father won one of the charity auctions. It included a 30 minute instructional hitting session with Willy. I hope somebody has that on tape for Ramp, he's appreciate it.

Let's get back on the winning track, guys!

Welcome Cards JE.....the Ankiel story is a feel good story. Great to see.

Your rotation needs... a 5th man (a 5th man). Who you gonna call? Barone!

For the lowest price... Loria can (Loria can), Who you gonna call? Barone!

good idea batting Hermida 7th when he's heating up. :thumbup

Ooooo! Gets away!!!

Uggla Son of a Bitch! :banghead

Good 1-2-3 inning there for the Cards.

Treanor with a double off the wall. Good throw by Ankiel, but offline. :bases_secondbase

 

EDIT: Barone goes down. Should've stuck with the bunt try. 2 down. :bases_secondbase

 

EDIT: :banghead

Sup guys.

 

Good evening CJE15. Always a pleasure having you around the game threads during Cards/Marlins series.
