GDT : Cardinals @ Reds (8/17) ~ 12:40pm CDT ~ Doubleheader Game 1

Only thing worse would be Walker leading off, Fermin cleanup.

[Bushiro]

Ok I'll start it..........

Power hitter in the leadoff spot (yea I know he's got speed too and TGKS/Ohtani hit there) but we don't have the hitters those two team do behind those guys and don't we want that power bat in the MOTO?

Could have been Fermin leading off

Yeah Ollie said on the pre game he wanted to get baez as many at bats possible in Cincinnati against the lefty

[rockondlouie]

Glad to see Oli giving JJW the 1st game off.

Very smart as he's looked a little rundown since the ASB (128 PA: .189 .328 .302 .630).

Not the biggest guys, he and M Winn need days off during the dog days to keep them both fresh.

[rockondlouie]

Okay

Baez HBP

NOW STEAL!

[82birds]

[hotrivets]

Walker eye needs a tuneup

[82birds]

THAT certainly wasn't Walker's best at bat.
LOL

[hotrivets]

Burly gets it done

[Futuregm2]

Burly! 2-0 Cards!

[Ozziesfan41]

Burly is going beast mode!

[12xu]

That's the way Burly - 2 run double!

[No-Mo-Mo]

Walker went up there determined to swing at every pitch regardless of location.
