I'd like to have seen Janish in at SS to provide the defensive upgrade.
Volquez has thrown 117+ pitches in three straight starts...it will be interesting to see how he bounces back tonight.
I look for Pujols to have a huge game tonight. He's 0-for-8 in this series so he's long overdue.
Never overlook the obvious
I look for Volquez to get lit up in his last three starts. You mix in an increase in innings pitched and ridiculous pitch counts and naturally it's going to eventually catch up to him.
Volquez grounds out
Hairston walks
Keppinger double to score Hairston, 3-2 Cards now.
Schumaker grounds out.
Volquez gets ahead 1-2 on Miles and comes back to walk him. Man. You can't walk weak hitters like that with Pujols on deck.
Pujols walks. Volquez is no where near the strikezone tonight. He looks tired.
I raised this in a ST game thread but I am concerned by the Reds being so brazen in the lineup that they put that many batters up in a row with names starting with a J.
What if St. Louis brought Joel, Josh, or Jason (not that one he's hurt, the other one) out of the pen?
