When they still have (or most likely had) a shot at the second best record in the NL and home field advantage for the first round I would think they would be able to prioritize. It's vintage Dusty, letting the inmates run the asylum. I'm no Cardinals fan, but I couldn't see Tony LaRussa wanting his players out channeling their inner Mickey Mantle when they still have something to play for and then giving them the day off as a reward. It would be nice to see them more focused on trying to win a World Series and then there would be cause for some real celebrating.
