We REALLY need Wetherholt and Bernal to pick up the prospect slack

They did rush him but them trying to stop him from hitting groundballs and start hitting line drives has nothing to do with the terrible at bats he takesblackinkbiz wrote: ↑05 Aug 2025 23:17 pm He's toast as far as I'm concerned. They F'd him up so bad by messing with his swing and trying to rush his development. All because Mo needed a shiny new toy to take the attention off his blunders.
He's still young so there's a chance but I agree with whoever said he looks confused. Having been an athlete the majority of my life, I've worn and witnessed "the look" a player wears when they've figured it out and have confidence.
His face says the opposite.
His face says everything-no confidence in himself, he is hoping something good happens instead of expectingblackinkbiz wrote: ↑05 Aug 2025 23:17 pm He's toast as far as I'm concerned.

Right. Before going 1 for 11 so far in August, he was hitting over 300 with a 800+ OPS after coming off the DL. Looked like he was figuring things out then he started sitting more.Hoosier59 wrote: ↑06 Aug 2025 07:04 am In all fairness, he was hitting almost .290 since the All-Star break, and looking a lot better, but then Nootbaar came off the IL and now Walker is sitting every other day. That doesn’t help give a kid much confidence! If the Cardinalsvare going to keep messing with him, he’d be better off somewhere else. Then, when he takes off, everyone will be screaming!

You wear that look everyday. It's ok to admit itblackinkbiz wrote: ↑05 Aug 2025 23:17 pm He's toast as far as I'm concerned. They F'd him up so bad by messing with his swing and trying to rush his development. All because Mo needed a shiny new toy to take the attention off his blunders.
