a Walker double
that was hit HARD
When he called time out with two strikes I thought uh oh that’s what he always did with two strikes last season before he struck out then nope a double!
Walker's BA doesn't quite suggest it but he's looked like a different player. Hasn't struck out once. Has taken several walks. And other than topping the ball to 3rd (or so I was told as didn't see it) in his first AB of the season, everything I've seen has been hit hard.
What a different team this looks like if Walker becomes anywhere close to what he was heralded as.

Joined late. An outfielder catches the ball that Saggese didn’t. Easy play by any outfielder. It’s sickening to watch players play out a position all the time.
I guess you missed the diving catch Saggese made then !
Oli's going to stick w/Winn at clean-up (0 RBI's---.111 .111 .222 .333) no matter how clueless it makes him look, the definition of insanity.
GO CARDS!
Oli has 5 players to choose from for cleanup .
JJ leadoff, he wants Herrera , and Burly 2 & 3 as you want your best hitters to potentially get to the plates the most times so he won't mess with that trio .. then Scott is locked in at 9 only.
So today that leaves Saggese , Pages, Walker, Urias , and Winn as his choices for the 4th spot. Winn is no sure thing but Oli must feel that the other 4 aren't a better threat from that group.
I'd say K. Cash is a pretty sharp Manager, one of the best in MLB for a long time.
His best hitter, where has he been batting?
J. Caminero----clean-up.
Herrera in the #2 is a waste (and please, don't regurgitate that stupid theory about the best hitter batting 2nd, teams like the Angels have used this stupid move and wasted a great talent like M. Trout's career), he needs to be hitting clean-up.
Wasting Herrera's RBI potential (least we forget he's got J. Walker, P. Pages and VSII setting the table ahead of him along w/one good hitter in JJW) in the two hole to get a handful more PA's is stupid.
And yet a genius manager has been outmaneuvered to the tune of at the least a series loss to the Cards.

Oh I know he’s looked a lot better since he said he was working on turning off his brain. People thought he was stupid but apparently he may have been just thinking too
Much lol

I did. But I did not miss the fly ball that didn’t even hit the warning. Track hit the ground. Would a real outfielder had to dive for the ball? I guess I can rewind.

I went back and watched it. A late break. Poor judgment on the ball. A dive after the catch. Oh he looks like Willie Mays.
This off season, before we really knew what the Cardinals plans were, I was hoping for a trade for Diaz as our RH’d hitting addition.
Wouldn’t he look nice as our #4 hitter?
ahead of him along w/one good hitter in JJW) in the two hole to get a handful more PA's is stupid.
