Jordan Walker is one large human being.

First players started being born after me, then after I graduated.  Now they are being born after one of my kids was born.  Just didn't need that reminder of how old I'm getting.

Walker's season may project what kind of season Chourio might have next year. Cards fans would probably put him top 30-40 batter in all of baseball right now.

 

Woodruff with good numbers thus far against Goldy and Arenado. Good sign this should be a win today.

He hasn't seen anywhere near enough yet, be interesting to see after a couple of months, but also chourio has better defensive capabilities and more speed.

Im saying no more because, devil magic, but I maybe don't rate walker as highly as the cards fanbase is

[Brewcrew82]

We have an ace(s). Cardinals don't have any. Let's go..

[Brock Beauchamp]

The Best Fans in the World are also - I know this is shocking so brace yourselves - the worst spellers.

Not surprising based on this photograph alone...

Let's smack Jack!  Give that ball a whack!

Let's go, Brandon!  Who knows where our balls will be landin'?

Hitting spree in '23!  Whee!

That picture was taken in March 2003 so Jordan Walker is a little older than it. Maybe one day Jackson Chourio will be the first major league player born after the get a brain moran picture.

This confirms a lot of my biases about St. Louis and their fans

You're just a kid.  I turned 69 in January.

Winker+Toro for Wong is looking like a total steal. Kolten looks washed up.

More so, I'm not sure Craig plays Turang over the vet Kolton if he is still on the roster?

In a way, this trade is Turang + Winker + Toro for Wong. In a way.

Between the declining defense & going from one of the easier parks for LH power to one of the more difficult ones, Kolten definitely has his work cut out for him this year.

Still feel like he is a mortal lock for a couple two tree WAR, but I guess time catches up to everybody eventually.

Seeing the Cardinals lineup and batting averages (yes I know there's more to it than that), it's hard to believe STL is 2-4

[willie key]

I might be in the minority here but I hate these series with the cardinals.     Just tell me the scores and move on

 

at some point we will be accused of not playing baseball the right way blah blah blah

Same thing with the Renfroe trade.

Sure, the actual return was Junk plus two, but it also opened the door for a cheaper, more versatile option (with higher upside, though less certainty) to be acquired in Anderson plus cleared the path for Wiemer.

Now look at their ERAs.

Spoiler alert…5.33 team ERA ranks 24th.

[82brewcrew82]

Nice and tidy first inning.

With Woody's changeup, maybe we should be looking at extending him? I am guessing we can "afford" to extend one Big Woo or Willy if they are willing. (Thanks Yelich)
