You are an older man, not quite my late father's age, but in the area. So I have empathy for you. Please don't make me bring up the aberrant side of your socks.

I don’t think AB is a model of consistency either.

Also, regarding Contreras, are you basing this opinion on one game? Come on…

Contreras didn't show much good discipline at the plate, at times, yesterday. He's had that issue before. Hope it doesn't continue. He needs to take those outside pitches the other way more. Just like Arenado needs to.

You can cut the tension with a knife!
You are simply delusional if you think that. Stick to baseball discussion.
I vote for Bully4you to get it rolling.
Web7 for backup unless he’s in therapy?
Instead of nonsense, why not talk some baseball? Do you feel Burleson has plateaued as a MLB hitter like craviduce seems to think?

Are you a blood relation to Burleson?

Baseball- I think he’s a solid LH bat who made great progress in 2024. Not as strong on defense as the other LH bats ahead of him but plays a respectable corner OF in a pinch. Ok at 1B but Contreras figures to play there every day.
It’s been ONE game why don’t we give it some time?

Personal- With all due respect you need to speak with someone professionally that can help you.

You are rather delusional. Maybe somebody else could use some help. Or probably you're just another CT SA. But that was a decent response regarding Burleson.

Yesterday = 1 game.

WC has an .831 ops w stl.

And his numbers vs RHP last year was better than AB.

Come on, man…

He might not be the Cardinals' "fantasy". But they sure seem to appreciate his production/salary ratio. Unlike some narrow-minded CT posters.

How about Burleson’s issues?

Shady wrote: ↑28 Mar 2025 18:26 pm It's, obviously, a "head-scratcher" to some here that see how the Cardinals seem to really like Burleson's hitting ability. Something they don't/can't see. By the way, he hit a couple missiles right at somebody yesterday. He is a fine MLB hitter, indeed. The Cardinals know they were fortunate to draft him when they did. And to get some really good production/value out of him. Stay tuned for some nice, steady progress.

Career 0.4 WAR & and 95 OPS+.

He's a poor mlb player. And as the stats clearly demonstrate, a slightly below average mlb hitter.

But...YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

The same data and facts absolutely blew Pujols and St Louis.

Two of the biggest swing and a miss imaginable.
