Cardinals Vs. Astros: The Starting Lineups
Jon Jay - CF
Allen Craig - LF
Albert Pujols - 1B
Lance Berkman - RF
David Freese - 3B
Yadier Molina - C
Skip Schumaker - 2B
Nick Punto - SS
Chris Carpenter - P
No Rafael Furcal, and no Matt Holliday, who left last night's game with the same hand injury that's bothered him throughout the last part of the season.
A lot of players have contributed to the comeback for the Cardinals, but Chris Carpenter has been one of the most important:
| I | Split | W | L | G | GS | IP | ER | BB | SO | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Half | 4 | 7 | 3.85 | 19 | 19 | 128.2 | 55 | 31 | 96 | |
| 2nd Half | 6 | 2 | 3.25 | 14 | 14 | 99.2 | 36 | 23 | 84 |
Same pitcher as far as the peripherals go, but the Cardinals scored more for him in the second half, and he cut down his ERA.
The Astros:
J.B. Shuck - CF
Jose Altuve - 2B
Brian Bogusevic - RF
Carlos Lee - 1B
Matt Downs - LF
Jimmy Paredes - 3B
Clint Barmes - SS
Humberto Quintero - C
Brett Myers - P
Just disgraceful that Brad Mills isn't using his A-lineup against a team still in a race. It just goes against the integ ...
Oh. That is the Astros’ A-lineup. I see.
But if the Braves can be happy about one thing, it's that Brett Myers is the starter rather than some rookie out of AA. It's not like Myers has had a good season, but he has his moments. of competency.
