[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1796138, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/cardinals-notebook-adam-wainwright-aims-to-prove-skeptics-wrong-in-final-start-of-season/article_93f18aec-adb9-5097-8d4f-bb300dc164e8.html[/URL] [URL='https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/rhummel']Rick Hummel[/URL] To hear some tell it, Adam Wainwright will be pitching for his playoff supper on Sunday when he makes his final regular-season start of this season and final regular-season start ever with retiring catcher Yadier Molina, with whom he holds the all-time record at 327. “I’m hearing I shouldn’t even start in the playoffs,” said Wainwright Saturday afternoon. “I’ll just have to go out and change people’s minds.” The 41-year-old Wainwright’s last victory was on Sept. 3 when he allowed four runs in five innings. Since then, he has made four starts, giving up 29 hits and 14 runs in 19 innings, including a three-inning outing this past Sunday as Wainwright was laboring through a “dead arm” phase. “I don’t think three (actually four) games should have that much bearing on my playoff acumen — or resume,” said Wainwright. Wainwright is 4-5 in postseason play but his earned run average is 2.82. “They haven’t scored many runs for me,” said Wainwright. And Wainwright has drawn the likes of Madison Bumgarner, Jon Lester, Clayton Kershaw and Max Scherzer in October matchups. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said he wasn’t tying much to Sunday’s outing by Wainwright, as to where the right-hander fits in next weekend in postseason play. “I don’t think it’s vitally important,” said Marmol. “Is it important? Yes. But I don’t think it’s as ‘life or death’ as a lot of people believe it to be. “It’s not the decision-maker,” Marmol said. “I will look at a much larger body of work and make a decision based off of that.” [/QUOTE]
