Walker laser. Whew…more of that please!

Has he finally figured things out? He’s looked awfully good lately.

Let's hope so. We need a RH bat to produce.

Last 30 games he's batting .286 with a .731 OPS. Very much improved and something to build on.

He looks much more confident and relaxed at the plate, and not stepping in the bucket.

I think we all want to see him succeed as he seems like a great guy and a hard worker. He has such easy, natural power and my goodness, if he's ever able to just get that power stroke going, watch out!

Every game Yadi has been Cardinal’s coach, Walker has hit a HR.

Think how well Walker would do in 2026 if Yadi was managing every game

I've been a supporter of patience for Jordan Walker and I, generally, have no issue with guys showboating a bit. But...

Walker hits his first home run since May and he walks down the line and flips his bat?

In the immortal words of Crash Davis...

"Run Dummy!"

He was probably shocked

I was shocked too. And happy for the kid. He murdered that ball.

When he's is doing that on a regular basis, he can do cartwheels around the bases while farting in the general direction of the opposing dugout for all I care. Until he's doing that on a regular basis, put your head down and run.

..IF the Cards played the rest of the league like they played the Dodgers this year, (4 wins in 6 games played), they would be in 1st place in the division... Well, tonight they are continuing that type of play, taking it to the division 1st place Cubs, like they did to the 1st place Dodgers...

[O.O]

some one get those 2 off the air

Chip would be ok if they got rid of Brad.

maybe .... he laughs at everything brad says and the dudes not funny ... its a game not hee-haw ...

Well........Ortiz did not miss that one - that had to hurt.

[Calendal]

Nice job, Contreras. Do it again.

Now Willson gets hit by the Burleson bouncer.......

[boulanger]

Bizarro baserunning

[Lightning Rod]

Now Willson gets hit by the Burleson bouncer.......

He did that on purpose to give Burly a hit. He knew it was an out anyway.

[Cranny]

Just tuned in to see this Cardinals AAA team leading the Major League Cubs 5-0.

What would happen if a player broke up a no-hitter by doing that?

Now Willson gets hit by the Burleson bouncer.......

Yep boys. Baseball I.Q. at its best. I will not argue with anyone anymore about his contract and how he is over paid. I think I've said enough

One hitter.

I for one would bizarrely love it.
