If Scott has to go on the IL does Church get the call up?

Sianni will cause he is on the 40 Man and we cannot afford to lose one of our stellar stars on the 40 man roster that make us the champions caliber team we are

Walker was not happy. And Hampson knew it. He's a worthless player. I'm glad the Fox crew called him out as well.

i know one of our posters had him as a poster child for a hot minute when he got released and then picked up by the birds.... future starter or high leverage reliever.

Hoosier59 wrote: ↑16 Aug 2025 21:03 pm That catch by Hampson is why he shouldn’t even be on the team! A good player would have deferred to Walker there to at least make a play at home plate.

That is an indictment of The Marmot and the staff.
Neither outfielder had any interest in even attempting a throw.

I get it but, Walker is no outfield General.

He's wrong on the Scott attempt. Scott tracked that all the way and made a great attempt to catch it and barely missed. He had to get momentum going to jump at the wall. I'll take that over Bader just watching the ball sail over his head.

What game are you watching? Walker was set up to throw and Hampson called him off. Wainwright was all over it.

Oh, I think Walker was all,primed to make the throw, but Hampson called him off. If you watch the replay Walker is waving Hampson off, but Hampson wouldn’t relent, and then soft tossed it to 2nd base. Afterwards Walker was upset!

Yea Mel being clueless walker wanted it you could tell he was upset he was called off and was talking to Hampson about it afterward

Who on the roster is?

You can thank Mo for this roster.
This is on him.

That play doesnt sway the game guys. They are both horrible.

I remember going to the baseball games back in the old Bush Stadium as a kid and watching Bob Gibson pitch. I have been a fan from then to now. But I stopped watching and paying attention years ago when I felt the owners really stopped putting heart and soul into the team and just wanted to get older players they could pay for less or get a player who was decent but wouldn't demand big money...they seemed to always come in second just to make it look like they were going after big time players. They seemed to sorta just want to get by and look to the fans as if they really are trying to be competitive when they really wasnt at all. I kinda got excited by the winning streak they had earlier in the season. This team team has a few good players. They need new owners but that aint an option. I guess once hes done with Baseball village, he will put heart and soul into the team. To have the history we have with the Cards, there is no way we should be this bad. Some one said earlier in this thread Moe destroyed this team...well he didnt do it by his self. The owners helped him. For crying out loud, the owners wont even get a real coach! I hope while im still on this earth, I get to see Cards in the WS again. I love my Cardinals.

Maybe it doesnt “sway” the game, but you still keep playing. Walker was wanting to compete, Hampson simply conceded the run.
That’s a huge difference.

"Afterwards Walker was upset."
Yep.
He realized his mistake too late.
His ball.
His throw.
And he didn't.
That is a lack of paying attention.
