GDT : Cards @ Royals (5/16) ~ 6:40pm CDT

If the linear progression continues, Cards will score no runs in the 7th but score 8 more runs in the 8th inning... Probably not gonna happen though...and hopefully won't be necessary anyhow...

Get the run back Boyz. Good start Winn

Did Chip just say it's good news the KC athletic trainer has to visit their pitcher!!?

What [censored]

You heard wrong. He said " this is NOT good news". Big difference.

[WLTFE]

Get Walker out of here. What a waste...automatic out.

At least run...he needs to sit

[thetank2]

Herrera you are going to get some MVP votes in the future.

[Eyelids64]

Thank goodness for KC Bullpen!

Yep...I did

Would prefer JW not to play, but I know that’s not a thing.
Even though he can’t hit LHP, but I guess the other option is just Barrero

I would prefer Walker hit at a ML level. But his defense is good at least. That didn't used to be good but he figured it out. Perhaps the bat comes around as well. I don't really think more aaa is the answer. So until they give up/find something better, Walker it is against lefties.

How is AAA not the answer? MLB is not a training league. He's regressing. 42 OPS+. He should be asking to go to AAA

Teams probably smirk when they see him penciled in

You aren't wrong about nobody being scared to face him. But IMO he has to learn to hit major league pitching. Unless we just want to bury him in aaa. Which the way he looks, may happen.

Nope. Rewind it

I just did. He actually said "this isn't good news". Exact words.

I saw you posted after I responded. My bad.

[boulanger]

arenado 6th on team in OPS, 5th in RBIs.

I can see it. I had read a scouting report a while back that said at the time he had a 40-50% groundball ball rate and how good a hitter will be and if he unlocks his power is if he learns to elevate the ball. Hes definitely got a launch angle going and hits to all fields

[RunSup]

Tell me again what's wrong with groundball pitchers? Especially when you have this kind of defense?

[82birds]

another good inning for Pallante

[Alex Reyes Cy Young]

Ut oh. Noot hurt? He’s due for the IL….. it’s seems

Whew. Thank goodness!

Bury him! This team isn't a developmental league. Team is winning without him. Third year and he is digressing horribly. Springfield 0r Memphis please. Saggese to 2nd , Donnie to left. Noot to Right and keep winning.

[Alex Reyes Cy Young]

Royals have a terrible defense.
