Winn strikes out AGAIN

Great job by Oli, keep the pressure on the kid by hitting him leadoff instead of dropping him to #8/9 where he MIGHT feel less pressure.

Can't wait for this clown to be fired.

Lol. Reminds me of you excusing Oldys sucking due to the spot in the batting order, and the weather not being warm

Never used it as an excuse moran, just said CORRECTLY that he should've hit #3 instead of being wasted at #2.

And it makes no difference

Romero preserves his spotless spring.

Hope we don't burn him out in April/May like last year with 26 appearances in the first 51 games.

well, with Oli in charge....

Was used nine times on 0 days rest AND got more than 3 outs six times in 51 team games.

indeed
MO should be for signing him to an extension
dumb and dumber

Not tanking the right way! [fork]ers

Have a boatload of draft picks...might be a quick turn around

Friend who's a Pen's fan say's the same.

[cardstatman]

Paige has a 3.000 OPS. Does he make the 26-man roster?

Nevermind. Down to 1.500. Trade him.

[82birds]

we sure showed the Marlin's split squad a thing or two

seriously, some nice stuff from Libby and Walker, to name two

TG it's almost over. 24 more hours till practice in Jupiter ends. Back to Planet Earth and real games starting in 5 days.

If the Cardinals had any other option, you would have to consider sending Winn down until he gets his footing. 2 more Ks today. He just seems lost at the plate with no sign of things getting any better but the Cardinals just don’t have another option.

Moving him down in the order seems like an option but would it really help? He’s just flailing away.

what is Brown doing about it, I wonder

I don’t know if Brown has hurt or helped but Winn just seems overmatched. It’s not like he’s facing Nolan Ryan in these games. Some good pitching but some bad pitching too. The pitcher doesn’t really seem to matter though.

I know one thing from reading stories with Winn quotes /comments , Masyn put himself in this bind NOT Brown. Cards coaching staff liked how Winn was hitting balls to right field last year and getting a lot of hits. Winn came into ST with the notion (by his own admission ) that he wanted to work on pulling the ball for more HR's . What a foolish mistake ! Someone asked why he would do that ... A guy like Winn sees that the most of the top paid free agent SS the last couple years were good at hitting HRs.. Baez swung stupid with the Cubs but did jack some HR's so Detroit paid him a boatload. Willy Adames (Brewers never hit much for averatge ) and certainly struck out a ton (usually most on Brewers ) but Adames could hit those 25-31 HR's the last couple years and bingo Giants offered him a ton of $$$$.
A real shame that Winn came to camp with the wrong approach and now he screwed himself up . Maybe Brown can turn him around yet but Winn now has to break some bad habits at the plate.

The jury is way out on Brown. He has a lot of work on his hands. Gorman, Walker, Arenado and now Winn. We shall see.
