In fairness.. perhaps no one told him it is hot in STL in the summer?MIDMOBIRDTWO wrote: ↑16 Aug 2025 20:04 pmYes. A very high percentage of St Louis summers is 90 degrees plus.CraigPaquette wrote: ↑16 Aug 2025 19:42 pmBut people love to make excuses for the guy that he doesn't like to pitch in hot weather.

Has or hasn't? A hot streak for Walker will be a sweet memory very shortly. He's been better as seen by his .229 average.scoutyjones2 wrote: ↑16 Aug 2025 20:02 pmLoL. JW has improved anywhere.

That Leahy pitch looked like a strike... after it bounced.
