GDT : Cardinals vs Cubs (7/27) ~ 6:45pm CDT

Busch strikes out looking, inning over with only 1 run scored, could have been a lot worse.

Lets get to this guy early.

Nice oppo single to lead off the 1st for JJ!

[11WSChamps]

Love how he goes to the opposite field.

I'm certainly no hitting expert, but it always seems to me that Jordan Walker is just too far away from the plate. It doesn't look like his bat can even reach anything on the outer half of the plate. I'm sure I'm wrong, but it looks that way every time he swings.

[She didn't know I was a midget]

It looked like Walker was standing further off of the plate than usual on that AB.....didn't look like he could cover the outside of the plate.

Did OLi mention why they switched Hererra and Walker in the lineup?

Or was it just to make change for change sake ?

[imetsatchelpaige]

Walker has clearly regressed.
A lot of 0-2 counts and very poor plate discipline.
This looks all too familiar.

JJ steals 2nd

I don't like it, but with nobody on this team hitting, lineup construction doesn't really matter much.

They are last in basically every offensive category over the last month. BAD.

Lets get to this guy early.

One team comes ready to hit. One doesn’t.

Walker awful AB, Herrera swinging at a horrible 3-1 pitch , Burly nothing. Team has become abysmal

Good point.

3 stellar at bats by Walker, Herrera and Burleson

Walker takes 2 meatballs at 93 and swings late thru a third

Herrera late on 93 up in zone on 3-1 count, dude can’t hit high pitch

Burley swinging at anything

Lovely at bats by the meat of the order

[12xu]

playing Hoerner to pull is totally stupid...........
