Team looks different when Walker hits. Hopefully he is coming around to his potential.
Best you stay away from him. You lose your credibility when you tag team.

The difference is it doesn't bother me, and I don't report posters like you do.Cranny wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025 08:52 amBefore you post that kind of stuff, Red, best you look in the mirror.

I’m not sure he is that old plus he sounds like another poster in here.

Actually back to back games against the great Dodgers and super Cubs.
Kid is a keeper.

Just starting to come into his own. Same with Saggese, who’s also just 23 years old.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025 09:13 amActually back to back games against the great Dodgers and super Cubs.

In his case, closing the stance put him in position to stride toward the ball better rather than spinning out.redbirdfan51 wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025 07:53 am Hopefully what we are seeing from JW now is what we see in the future.

He was pushed through the system much too quickly then the Cards switched him from the IF to the OF at the major league level. He seems a lot more comfortable both defensively and offensively. I do not understand why that open stance of his was not changed earlier. The same goes for Gorman.
Havin an open stance for some does not necessarily mean you can’t be in position to hit a baseball. My example, Manny Machado ..look at his stance with left foot extremely back. Nobody had to square up his stance. The guy will be a Hall of Famer. Some coach probably tried to change his stance and it didn’t help only hurt him. If you didn’t know Machado watching him at plate would make you scream. OMG you can ‘t stand like that ! Not one stance fits all batters. It’s where your body ends up as ball is coming over the plate. Watch Padres Manny Machado at the plate. His extreme open stance works for him.
Wonder if some little league coach ever told Manny, you can never be a top hitter taking that stance in the box that open.
Lol.

Look at Herrera’s stance. Maybe it influenced Walker when they were on the same minor league team.ramfandan wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025 09:27 amIn his case, closing the stance put him in position to stride toward the ball better rather than spinning out.redbirdfan51 wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025 07:53 am Hopefully what we are seeing from JW now is what we see in the future.

No. He didn’t influence him or else he’d be mimicking all that time. That hasn’t happened.Cranny wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025 09:35 amLook at Herrera’s stance.

My thoughts is his body is settling in without his mentalknowledge. He is still basically an old boy becoming a young man according to nature.
If he develops look out.
Re: This team looks different when Walker hits
Before I ever saw Herrera’s stance, I saw Walker’s stance with his left foot already in the bucket before he swings. Glad he’s much more squared up in his stance now.sikeston bulldog2 wrote: ↑09 Aug 2025 09:40 amNo. He didn’t influence him or else he’d be mimicking all that time.

Re: This team looks different when Walker hits
Maybe we're seeing some results from the revamped minor league system?
Since coming back from his stint at Memphis/Springfield:
.290 .343 .387 .730

Re: This team looks different when Walker hits
Actually it’s back to back three hit games, against quality pitching. Ride the hot horse.
