Oh good, just what I was thinking. After going 0 for 4 at the plate, Burleson definitely should be moved up in the lineup.

and he's playing LF....he better hit 2 HR's, make 3 Web Gems, and solve world peace

Given the venue and the fact that Petty is making his MLB debut, I had hoped that Burleson might hit his first HR in 70 games*. But a quick scan of his splits shows he never has had so much as an extra base hit at GABP and carries a .119 average.

*He did hit three in spring training.

Masyn Winn hits another 2 HRs in the 2nd game. 1 away from Musial's record. Prediction.

Burleson
Gorman
Walker

Yikes! Will these 3 dipsh*ts ever get their heads out of their ...

Individually, all 3 are easily the bigest dissapointment thus far. All 3 in a row ...

Did Shady make out this lineup? LOL I assure you, I'm as puzzled by Burleson's hitting woes as anybody.

Burleson's current OPS this year is right in line with his MLB career OPS.
Funny how some think Burly is good, when hitting was supposed to be his only plus skill, while many didn't think Bader was good when his career OPS is better than AB's while HB also brought plus defense at a key defensive position and also plus base running.
Anyway, hope AB has a good game tonight.

Except he had that 2-3 month stretch last season where he appeared to become the hitter the Cards seem to think he's capable of. And then as soon as he hit that 18th HR or something he just started chasing everything and ever since then ... cricketts

Additionally, he's changed his stance this year. He used to do that dug in pivot twist with his front foot and it made his pants so tight you could see his underwear line. I remember it because it always grossed me out. lol

This season, it's not there anymore, and neither is ANY power.

Thankfully oli is able to work burleson a big bat into the lineup for both games
