GDT : Cards vs. Giants (9/6) ~ 7:15pm CDT

[Charles King]

Would anyone be upset if the Cards replaced everyone in the lineup for 2026? Maybe you keep Donovan but who else would you be excited to watch next year?

Both need to play

Herrera

RH Bats- Contreras, Winn, Herrera
LH Bats- Donovan, Burleson, Wetherholt

I can live with Arenado at 3B if healthy. Their IF defense could be excellent.
I can live with Scott in CF hitting ninth.
Hopefully Crooks with either Pages or Pozo backing up.
Unload Noot and Gorman. Probably Walker also although he might survive being a RH bat.
Saggese a backup only. His defense however stinks.

Are you platooning Winn and Wetherholt? or trying to play JJ everyday somewhere?

Ok with Walker.
If he has an Option year left then you can go that route.

Agree with all except walker I would probably keep him and start him in the minors and make him hit his way back but if you could get something good for him back and his value hasn’t completely cratered then yea trade him

Wetherholt 2B
Winn SS

I missed hearing who the Fox broadcast team is in tonight's game. All I say is they're taking no prisoners and absolutely roasting the Cardinals!

Yeah, when you're down they like to pile on .

[Charles King]

O'Brien pitching
I hope is good and not hurt
They need to be careful with him the rest of the year

Walker's last 25 ABs
0-25

Sorry , my phone calculator acting up . Could you please tell me what 0 for 25 works out as a batting average ? Thanks, 82 !

[Cusecards]

SMH....Herrera chases ball 4 on 3-0 and grounds out.
Gorman will probably homer leading off the ninth? LOL

[82birds]

Gorman leadoff single
tying run comes to the plate

[82birds]

Winn fists a single
potential winning run comes to the plate

[craviduce]

shouldn't you PR for Gorman in the 9th? You can use Pozo or Pages at 1B if you must in a tie/extra inning game

[82birds]

Crooks HBP

bases loaded, no outs

[Absolut]

Not hitter 8.2 in LA

[todd-parker]

Walker 0 for 25...but, he's only 23!

Is there a long list of young .200 hitters who turned into productive hitters over the age of 25?

Hrm. Justin turner?

Edmond blew up at 25

Then I cheated

Appreciate the attempt. Looking at the careers of all the guys mentioned. It appears they all had decent BAs early as full-time players and then bloomed into all-stars. Walker has left himself a lot of room for improvement.

and speaking of.....walk-off for Walker!
