The countdown to Opening Day is down to four days, and the Cardinals are ready for their last home game of the spring. The team will face off against the Miami Marlins, a team they share the complex at Roger Dean Stadium with.
Tuesday’s game was rained out in the top of the 4th, so we’ll scrap that one. But, in the time Adam Wainwright did pitch he was lights out. Nobody scored off of him, and he looked ready to go for the start of the regular season.
Wednesday Michael Wacha will make his final start before the season. If the rotation remains the same as it is now, Wacha will be the number two and will likely start the Cardinals home opener at Busch Stadium on April 11.
Here’s a look at the lineup the Cardinals will put on the field Wednesday against the Marlins. One person of note is Jeremy Hazelbaker. He’ll start in center and bat sixth. Hazelbaker is considered by many as an on the bubble guy to break camp with the big club.
Matt Carpenter (3B)
Stephen Piscotty (RF)
Matt Holliday (LF)
Matt Adams (1B)
Yadier Molina (C)
Jeremy Hazelbaker (CF)
Jedd Gyorko (2B)
Ruben Tejada (SS)
Michael Wacha (RHP)
Wednesday’s game can be seen on Fox Sports Midwest. First pitch is scheduled for 12:05.
