Garcia to be removed from postseason roster, replaced before Wednesday's Game 3. Several teammates furious over situation.

I don't get warm and fuzzy over Garcia's replacement, Shelby Miller. A weak rotation just got a bit weaker. Depending on the bats more than ever now.

[Catonahottinroof]

First pitch today is at 1:07 EST.

Ed Jackson on the hill for the Nats while Chris Carpenter will go for the Redbirds.

If he can't get the ball over the plate, then get him off the roster.

Thanks, Cat. I will have the radio on at my desk.

[Darrell KSR]

Cards up 4-0 in the 3rd.

[Darrell KSR]

Chris Carpenter just laced a double to lead off the top 5th; he's 2-2 now.

Nationals have had 5 LOB, 3 in scoring position though 4.

[Darrell KSR]

Boneheaded baserunning (at least, too cautious). We sacrificed Carpenter to 3rd, then runners on 1st & 3rd with one out, bouncer to 3B, and Carpenter didn't run.

They tried for the double play, and Holliday wasn't running until he realized that a double play would get St. Louis out of the inning (apparently). Nats still didn't turn the double play, but no run scored, and runners still at the corners with 1 out.

Craig at the plate, and strikes out to end the inning.

Let's hope that doesn't come back to haunt the Cardinals. Another run sure would've been nice there. Momentum back to Nationals.

Crossing fingers!!! Just now able to post after working.

Always nervous about our pictching. Bats have been quite active of late.

[Catonahottinroof]

2 more in the 8th for the Redbirds. 8-0.

[Catonahottinroof]

To the 9th, 8-0 Cardinals.

[Catonahottinroof]

Redbirds down in order. to the bottom of the 9th 8-0.

[Catonahottinroof]

Ball game 8-0. 2 games without using Motte in closing. We only need 1 of the next 2

[jazyd]

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh

Carpenter is just a flat out good pitcher, knock on wood!

[Catonahottinroof]

Not a bad hitter either.

[CatinIL]

One to go...and advance.

[jazyd]

I don't know why he would say teammates were furious when they didn't know the outcome of his injury and MRI test. Not sure who he is but his assessment imo was way off base.

Cardinals @ Nats, first pitch at 4:07 EST. Lohse and Detwiler on the hill. Close em out Redbirds!

[Darrell KSR]

Jazy, his assessment wasn't his assessment, just relaying teammates were incensed (his word in the postgame story). Strauss is the Cardinals beat writer for thr Post-Dispatch, and very good.

Here's what he posted on twitter.

Re: Garcia. Teammates irked he would pitch such important game if dubious about shoulder. Others question condition's severity. Developing.

[Catonahottinroof]

As long as they are scoring 8-10 runs a game, Matheny will look like a genius. That's been the Cardinals MO all year. Motte is a good closer so it's all good when the bats are lively.

I can Understand teammates being miffed.

[Catonahottinroof]
