Hits in four straight for Walker and he sits. Don't like that.

The "Cooler" strikes again:
J. Walker last 4 GP:
.500 .500 .688 1.188
(Last 33 GP: .300 .342 .409 .751)
Good move Oli, let's sit him.

We certainly aren't going to miss Oli's idiotic lineups.

waaaaaayyyy beyond
Re: GDT : Cards vs. Rockies (8/11) ~ 6:45pm CDT
I would send Hampson down, bring up Nathan Church, and play Church in CF for a while in place of Victor. Church can switch to lf or rf if/when you want to play Victor vs RHers.

Runway season and J. Walker is the definition of a "runway" player who needs to get every PA he can so C. Bloom can decide where to go w/him in 2026 and beyond.82birds wrote: ↑11 Aug 2025 14:30 pmOli is simply beyond stupid.rockondlouie wrote: ↑11 Aug 2025 14:23 pm THx duce

The kid is not only hitting but showing other possible elements of his game (base stealing, two in his last four games).
The last thing a smart manager (excludes Oli) does is sit a kid like Walker when he's got this kind of momentum going.

Burleson (since 8/1: .212 .270 .212 .482) doesn't need to be in the lineup every game, especially in the OF but he's Oli's pet.
(I'll boo Oli extra hard tonight at the game when he brings out the lineup

I haven’t watched as closely this year as I have in previous decades, but I don’t get the love affair with Nootbaar. Maybe a decent reserve outfielder, but nothing more.
Re: GDT : Cards vs. Rockies (8/11) ~ 6:45pm CDT
Didn't you get the memo? Burly's an "everyday player" now... pay no mind to the .665 OPS against lefties or the .686 OPS in the 2nd half.

How long is Donovan going to be out. Put on IL. Bring up Wheatherholt (spelling probably wrong) play him until Donovan's back. Let's see what he can do
Re: GDT : Cards vs. Rockies (8/11) ~ 6:45pm CDT
It is an Oli theme "Sit the hot hand".
Re: GDT : Cards vs. Rockies (8/11) ~ 6:45pm CDT
I believe if they wait until August 15th or after then Weatherholt can be eligible as a rookie next year. My guess is we will see him after thatCharles King wrote: ↑11 Aug 2025 15:20 pm How long is Donovan going to be out. Put on IL.

He doesn't need to come up if not playing almost every day. At least 5 times a week
