Star-Tribune: Gardy not mimicking La Russa

Cardinals manager Tony La Russa likes to bat his pitcher eighth in the order.

...

So while Cardinals rigthander Adam Wainwright was penciled in as the No. 8 hitter on Friday, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire was asked if he would ever do that.

“I don’t want to take the time and go, ‘Tony, why are we doing this?’” Gardenhire said with a chuckle. “I don’t want to hurt my brain any more.

“He understands this league. He has been in it forever and he likes it. I don’t want to kill my brain any more that. All I know is that I have a guy who doesn’t hit all year long and he’s going to hit tonight. So I’m going to bat him ninth, and if there’s anybody out there with less than two outs, he’s going to bunt.”
