The most inspiring performance at the plate Monday came from former Cardinal Matt Carpenter, now playing for the Padres.
“We’re missing Donovan and Nootbaar for a lot of reasons,” Marmol explained before the game. “From a strategy standpoint and how the opposition can use their bullpen against us, it makes a big difference, because the guys that are coming off the bench to take at-bats are in the lineup, and you don’t have the mix.
“You can sit there and say we still have Goldschmidt and Arenado, how can you not hit? There’s more than an offense or a good lineup than having your two boppers in there. It’s what’s around them, getting guys on base, fatigue, the opposition. There’s a lot more that goes into it.” Whatever the reason, the lack of offense Monday night stings even worse knowing that it cost Wainwright, who remains two wins shy of notching 200 in his career, another coveted opportunity to pick up his first victory since June 17.
“I can’t control it,” Wainwright said. “It’s control what I can control, go out there and try to make quality pitches. If I don’t give up a run in the sixth, I don’t lose the game, maybe we don’t lose the game. So that’s kind of a bummer. But I do know that I held a pretty good team to one run tonight, so I can’t be too disappointed.”Disappointment has been palpable all season long in St. Louis.
