I’m so happy for Waino. I honestly didn’t think he would get there a month ago.

Cardinals great Adam Wainwright wills his way to 200th win. 'For tonight, I was me.'
'It’s kind of meant to be,' says teammate after veteran throws seven scoreless innings in taut 1-0 victory against the Milwaukee Brewers at Busch Stadium.
Adam Wainwright's 200th win was highly emotional for Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras
Cardinals catcher Willson Contreras was proud to have played a part in Adam Wainwright's 200th victory on Monday night.
Great achievement. 200 wins in a Cardinal uniform is quite an accomplishment.

Strange defensive play's by the Cardinals in the top of the 4th...........
Walker dives for a ball in right field that soars over his head.....looked like a catchable ball if he had stayed standing up...
Knizner with a batted ball 3 feet in front of HP with a runner barreling down 3rd base and he tries for a DP at 2nd and first.....could of just move to HP and tagged out the runner......
Strange season ..............

Arenado was yelling at him to get the runner coming home.
Knizner is 2nd year arbitration eligible this offseason and doesn't become a UFA until after the 2025 season. I'd be surprised if they moved on from him unless they really saw something from Herrera in the minors.

Tipsheet: Underachieving Padres lead the majors in organizational dysfunction
Sure, the St. Louis Cardinals have been a big disappointment this season. But the failure of the big-budget San Diego Padres has been more dramatic given the franchise's organizational strife.

There are those such as most front office personnel who point to teams like the Padres and try to tell us that spending money doesn't mean wins and championships. I think most fans already understand that concept. what the fans are thinking is IF our franchise's front office is above average, they should know who are the better quality players. Spend the money on them. Granted everyone is a bit of a gamble to some degree or another. The frustrating part is when a front office is afraid to take the chance and spend money out of fear of making a mistake.
Nothing is guaranteed. I don't think anyone expected Goldy to have his lowest OPS since his rookie half season. Nolan had his second worst. (Again after his rookie season.) Adding them to the team a few years ago was still a good move. Mo and Co need to do it more often and go for SP1 not SP4 that they hope will magically be transformed into SP2 because of the defense behind them.

Adam Wainwright lobbying Oli Marmol for one more at bat
The rest of the story
I don't see how it would hurt if Waino took another AB. Oli should let him know a couple of days in advance so he can get a few practice swings in beforehand.

I'm going to the Cards at Padres game Saturday. I'd love to see it. Meaningless game for both teams anyway. Why not? Though he might want to do it at Busch. He should get one more game there against the Reds next Friday. Or I guess they could let him pinch hit on a day when he's not pitching.
Waino had said that he wanted to get over .200 for a career BA before his career ended. He unfortunately didn't get the chance to do that when the DH came into the NL. I'm fine with him getting one last AB at Busch.
I do not have a problem with him pinch hitting once. However, I have seen some suggest elsewhere that he should be put in as the DH for some games. I do not agree with that.
