With bases loaded and lefty batter at the plate , Burly has to play closer to the 1st base line. If a bouncer gets by you down the foul line that is going to clear all the bases . If you cheat towards the line a step or two to cut off those, a ball hit a step to the other side of you is OK as that is most likely a single and the ball hit more to Walker. I have seen Burly play too wide at 1st base before with lefty hitters at the plate and runners in scoring position. I know he has DH a lot and played OF but he is not a natural 1st baseman. Keith Hernandez cut down those shots right down the foul line .

can we get rid of the 'slug baby slug' mentality and get back to making contact, running the bases, pitching and good defense??

pretty sure he doesn't call the defensive alignment

Sure…..when they have different/better players

it is a player issue.. but it's also a culture/team mentality issue

Scott’s throw on the sac fly?????

He doesn't have much of an arm.

the St Louis Strikeouts

[Rosie's Rule]

On the positive side JJ played 3rd today - 3-5 Hr & 3 RBI - now hitting 344 - sign of things to come at the MLB level?

while that looks really good, check the boxscore of that game. EVERYONE hit.. early and often

[Lightning Rod]

Most pathetic hitting team in Cards history. 1 hit, 15 strikeouts! These guys should be embarrassed.
