I am sad to announce that the Cardinals appear to miss Patrick Corbin. In a four-game series, it’s not asking a lot to hope the only left-handed pitcher in the rotation is pitching in one of the games. Interestingly, the Nationals have a five-man pitching rotation and he last pitched Saturday. But even though his spot would come up Thursday, ESPN is listing him as the starting pitcher for Friday’s game. They have some sort of pseudo six-man rotation with Cory Abbott either being a starter or reliever depending on off-days I assume.
So that’s the bad news.
