Looks like the storm should move through pretty quickly but we will have a delay.

If he bats 2nd for the rest of the season he may not finish with 100 rbi.
He's only a "table setter" in the first inning

He has had some chances in the 2nd hole to drive in runs. He hasn't been cashing them in like before. He seems to be missing some hittable pitches but at least is not swinging at junk. His power stroke seems a little off. I hope he finds it again soon. I thought he woyld hit 30 hone runs easily. Now I'm not so sure.

Maybe this cools StL and Liberatore won't melt before the game starts.

Reminds me of Jim Edmonds after his HR derby.

Storms never move thru Busch 3 quickly, they linger on forever

It’s a rain magnet

Hes certainly not an rbi guy hitting behind Jordan, Pages, Fermin, and Crooks.

You may be right about that. A day off couldn't hurt just to reset.

Completely agree. No matter what the analytics say, Walker was producing at an AS level batting 3 or 4 (I prefer 3 to guarantee a 1st inning AB.). Why change something that’s working?

Anyone hear when the game may start? It's not raining at all here in north central Illinois.
