Anthony Reyes (0-8, 6.08) vs. Joe Kennedy (2-4, 3.50) today in the series finale.
The Cardinals have lost all 9 of Reyes' starts this season. The offense in those games has been just as horrible as him, scoring only 10 runs in those 9 games.
Quite the disastrous first inning for Reyes in his return to the majors. Gave up 5 runs and the Cards trailed 5-1 after 1 inning. Fortunately he didn't give up anymore runs through the next 4 innings.
Ludwick had a career day at the plate. Went 3-5 with a HR and 5 RBI.
Bullpen also pitched well, giving up only 1 run in 4 innings.
Jamie Moyer (6-5, 4.40) vs. Anthony Reyes (0-8, 6.34) tonight in St. Louis as Reyes goes for that elusive first win of the season. I predict he gets it. The Cards won a game that Reyes started for the first time this season in his last start. :rock2:
So if Wells doesn't start again... the rotation would be - Maroth, Wainwright, Thompson, Wellemeyer, and Reyes... right? Also Looper when he returns from the DL.
Geez, if Carpenter and Mulder can come back and just give them anything...
Even though the Cards have won every game Wellemeyer has started, he still doesn't have a single quality start. I don't know how much longer he'll last in the rotation before Tomo Ohka is called up from Memphis.
If that happens, the rotation would be...
Maroth
Wainwright
Thompson
Ohka
Reyes
When Looper comes back, he'll probably take Reyes' spot unless Reyes starts winning games. Carpenter and Mulder can't come back soon enough. Although with Mulder, I don't think we should expect much when he returns. Mulder probably won't be 100% until the 2008 season.
