actually it is 100% correct, walker has been horrendus and you are trying to get him going...batting him against lefties until be possibly starts hitting makes sense
He hits right handers better than lefties.
I don't think he hits either particularly well.
I think he will hit both before long. Gorman might have a shorter leash. If they were doing what they said they would they would have moved Arenado and installed Gorman at third base. He would not have to hit much to be better than Arenado with the bat. He is a solid fielder at third, has an accurate arm. But with the current situation he should be sent to Memphis and start every day at third base and see if he can hit. They need Donovan at second every day in St. Louis, not a rotation between outfield and second base.
I agree Donny needs to be at 2nd. I am okay with Gorman on the bench. He can change the outcome of the game with a HR or hard double. I also like how he can step in for Nado for rest or injury and or Donny.
Walker is in trouble. I hope the kids can figure it out he has so much promise.
In Philly , he had the lone RBI for the team and Cards lost
2-1 . Oli views him as jinx but then Walker had another solo RBI game vs KC. .. the HR and Cards won 1-0
So
1-1 for. Walker. Odd that when he does drive in a run (his last two times) nobody else on the team can.
Oli is superstitious. Lol

Walker comes to work all amped up, focused, ready to hit. But he sits. Whole game.
I’m just different when it comes to those type sporting nuances.
Walker certainly looks the part. He's very athletic. I think we're going to need him to hit for us to sustain this recent hot streak. I would keep working with him to refine his swing and keep playing him in situations where he might be the most successful.
