why is Ashcraft being taken out?
he was cruising

I think he’s coming off an injury. This may be the most pitches he’s thrown since he came back.

Gorman with the warning track power. Ivan didn't even hit it that far.

Chip, Walker "is a massive man who's way off the plate" as he swings at strike three on the outside that he can't reach. Maybe he should move up?

He did not use to stand that far from the plate right? That's a new development I believe? And a terrible one!

Not about moving up, Chip it’s moving ‘in’ closer to thr plate. Moving. ‘Up’ in the batters box refers closer to the pitcher .
Chip’sdescription just confuses the viewers.

21st HBP for Contreras this year? Randy Arozarena leads with 22.

According to ChatGPT, there's never been an MLB starting pitcher who only started games exclusively at home. Considering how dominant some guys are at home, in this day and age of analytics and matchups, I'm surprised no one has tried this yet.

Leahy strikes out the side
4 SO in two innings
one of the few bright spots on this team

Walker tells me to shut the F up.

[Lightning Rod]

Saggese making progress now that he's getting a chance to play everyday. Now Walker with a blast. Holy Cow!!!

[Carp4Cy]

Give up baseball Walker.

then hits a HR

[82birds]

RBI double Saggese
HR Walker
what is going on here?

[cardinalsfever44]

How can Walker hit THAT out but only have 5 HR's this season? Dude has such incredible power, but we hardly ever see it. Mystifying.

[blackinkbiz]

How Walker was able to hit that ball 400 ft was pretty remarkable.

Too bad he'll be riding the bench for a couple games now.

...Cards leading 4-1 in the 7th before an out is made... That was quick..!

[todd-parker]

All Walker needed was some tough love.
