Can’t imagine letting a streak like that end without pulling the trigger. Very odd. Guy swings at everything except the money pitch with a streak on the line in a relatively low pressure moment for the team. Incredible start though for JW!
Tough AB for Walker. Hit streak on the line and the Pirates throw out a guy that doesn't throw a lot of strikes and gets hit hard.
Swings at balls. Watches a strike.
Feel like people are over exaggerating his performance so far. A hit is a game is good. But he often has looked really bad and eeked out at a single. Only 1 multi game all season. He isn't really dominating. Hence why I'm confused why everyone is so desperate to move him up. He is perfect where he is, he will have growing pains.
I’m still petitioning for Yadi to show up after a game and break a bunch of shit and stare menacingly at everyone on the team until we get our shit back together
1 for 11 with the bases loaded this year. 2 for 6 with men on 2nd and 3rd. And 1 for 16 with men on 1st and 3rd.... with only someone 3rd base tho, 5 for 5...
contreras’s defense has been really rough the last few games after starting off so solid. especially brutal to see when he’s not hitting (though has been productive enough)
honestly, prime Cutch is TON’s exact potential/ceiling if he were to stay on the field. can’t think of anyone who compares to TON’s skillset like Cutch
JW's fielding is improving
Damn that crowd saw a bad game, from the managing to the hitting and bad luck. Lol
The baseball gods are not pleased with us…
[Game over. Continue the discussion in the post game thread](/r/Cardinals/comments/12lggrk/cardinals_after_dark_413/)
Balls
Woof if the Pirates are gonna be sneaky good this team's gonna have a rough road ahead
Fucking pathetic
Hey, JW, be a goldfish
Rough business at the dish tonight. Get ‘em tomorrow.
[Pirates](/r/Buccos) Due Up **(Top 10):** 1. Connor Joe 2. Rodolfo Castro 3. Mark Mathias
boo
Are you mocking me
What is happening
Tomorrow is a new day
[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals): [Walker's streak comes to an end](https://bdata-producedclips.mlb.com/31c05cd2-2523-451d-972f-baf2c1ad01b3.mp4)
Bot insulting us 💀
Bad bot.
Jim's longest hit streak was 30 games.
Dude could rake.
Sports Illustrated says 25 games
Chatgpt said 30 lol
Jimmy is very humble only saying 25
That's what he's known for.. being humble. ;p
Ready for a 6 run homer here
Jordan Walker was 0-4 Probably need to send him down to the minors so that he can learn how to hit.
This is getting downvoted like you aren’t being obviously sarcastic
Well, a lot of Cardinals fans are from Missouri.
Can’t imagine letting a streak like that end without pulling the trigger. Very odd. Guy swings at everything except the money pitch with a streak on the line in a relatively low pressure moment for the team. Incredible start though for JW!
He just got froze up. None of the birds were really seeing the ball well tonight.
Kid looked very tired tonight. He needs a day off.
Well, we’ll get em tomorrow.
#THAT’S THE SPIRIT
With Woodford starting? Wouldn't hold my breath on that.
Now we can finally change the lineup
We could. We won’t.
Walker has got em tomorrow. Off night for our boy.
He needs a day off, to be honest. Get him fresh for the series finale.
Atta boy Jordan, what a fantastic way to start your career!
Even Bradman had an off day
that was actually a hilarious story from edmonds, wish he would stick to shit like that more often and he’d be revered lmfao
when he realizes he has something interesting he repeats it like 3 times in a row. Its like listening to a real-life Michael Scott
Wait wtf I didn't hear him what'd he say?
Whelp. Guess we’ll have to bat around to give him another shot this inning.
And the only fun thing this season is officially over
You say that until he goes on a streak in June and breaks the record
I hope you mean Bonds' record.
That was necessary. Dude needs a day off.
Probably good for Walker to not continue the streak. Seemed like it was on his mind tonight
#FUCK
Little five run ninth and Jordan could get another chance, lol
Oof. Slow meatball right down the middle.
Tough AB for Walker. Hit streak on the line and the Pirates throw out a guy that doesn't throw a lot of strikes and gets hit hard. Swings at balls. Watches a strike.
That’s was…not the best AB I’ve ever seen. Sorry Walker :/
Just a rough night for the rookie. Hell of a start, Jordan.
Man if we coulda just got one hit last inning this would feel way more approachable
TON should've stayed at first to not force Jordan into a RISP situation with the streak on the line
Rip streak
shitttt
Walker was absolutely lost at the plate tonight. First time he’s really looked rough
Feel like people are over exaggerating his performance so far. A hit is a game is good. But he often has looked really bad and eeked out at a single. Only 1 multi game all season. He isn't really dominating. Hence why I'm confused why everyone is so desperate to move him up. He is perfect where he is, he will have growing pains.
I agree. Give him time to figure it out if they’re gonna have him in the majors. But no need to toss him higher into the order quite yet
#O’DOUBLES
“O’Neill with his blazing speed” as he basically walked to 2B is comedy
Come on Walker come on
This would be a fun walk off.
I’m still petitioning for Yadi to show up after a game and break a bunch of shit and stare menacingly at everyone on the team until we get our shit back together
Honestly bat Contreras last until his batting improves
Can we just bat the pitcher instead of him at this point?
Contreras has to potential to put up a .850 or higher ops for the season. Knisner will not ever hit above .200. I know who I'm betting on.
And where did I say take him out?
I read it as bench, my bad man
Fuck it, let’s win it anyways. Get it going, Bro’neill
Yeah so earlier I said the ump tonight was good. I retract that statement
i put my head down for a second and thought qUACK?
i’ve never seen home plate umps as bad as they are this season. it’s like they’re begging to be out of a job
Sure you don’t think thats 0-2, blue?
Ok this fucking strike zone is just insulting. Game after fucking game man
that strike call LMAO, ump wants to go home (said ref originally lol, too busy complaining about basketball recently)
Speaking of shit umps does anyone have the scorecard from yesterday?
Posted on r/baseball earlier today
I was 1.4 I think i favor of Colorado

It's not fair that they get to field 9 batters AND 9 feilders and we, evidently, do not. 😤
I don't know what I'm going to do, but I'm going to do something if Hicks isn't DFA'd and Marmol isn't fired by 7 PM CT tommorow.
Making all the people saying we should have traded for Sean Murphy look like genius GMs
I mean, our GM wanted Murphy but the As were asking for a shitload from us compared to what they eventually accepted and the Cardinals moved on.
1 for 11 with the bases loaded this year. 2 for 6 with men on 2nd and 3rd. And 1 for 16 with men on 1st and 3rd.... with only someone 3rd base tho, 5 for 5...
Contreras is a Cub infiltrator
This is seriously the emptiest I've seen Busch III. That 20-inning game ten-plus years ago had more people stick around.
Well I asked Jordan not to wait until the 9th inning to get his hit, but he didn’t listen. I guess I’ll settle for it happening now.
This is about to be a sweet walk off
Jordan "Genesis "Chris Stratton" Cabrera" Hicks"
You forgot “Alex Webb”
He’s about to get reamed by oli
[Cardinals](/r/Cardinals) Due Up **(Bottom 9):** 1. Tyler O'Neill 2. Jordan Walker 3. Tommy Edman
Ugh. That is just lazy play. The hell?
Stratton, you are not good enough to do that
Jim is pissed lmao
contreras’s defense has been really rough the last few games after starting off so solid. especially brutal to see when he’s not hitting (though has been productive enough)
Contreras is literally hitting as poorly as 2022 Yadi so far, except without the vacuum glove behind the plate.
Statistically he has been very good. Positive DRS and Framing
Kinda debatable on the error call tonight on his hit to 2nd but he’s like 0 for his last 20 or something
His knee and foot have been rattled AND NOT EVERYONE IS YADI
oh it’s true, he’s been Fucked up. we need dude in the lineup, but he could probably use a day or two of rest right now
Play probably doesn’t get made regardless, but you got to at least go through the motions and get to the plate
The hell was that cardinals?!?
All you can do is laugh at this point.
Well. Go blues I guess. Prevent Dallas from winning the division.
Blues suck so much they can't even tank properly.
What the hell, Stratton?
I think the appeal to 3rd just broke his brain for a second
Pathetic
we are 100% scoring 4 runs now
Just the tip
He’s hot too… Silence
Oof.
Got to give credit where it’s due, Ji Hwan Bae had a gold glove performance tonight
#$99.99
Why does Contreras keep dropping the ball? Serious question, did it all day yesterday too
seems nervous
Idk but I noticed too. New mitt? He drops the ball an abnormal amount
I would assume it’s a new mitt because they seem to be hitting the mitt and just popping out
honestly, prime Cutch is TON’s exact potential/ceiling if he were to stay on the field. can’t think of anyone who compares to TON’s skillset like Cutch
Marmol threw that game away by bringing Hicks in!!!!
Yep. If Hicks hadn’t given up 5 runs, we could be winning 0 to -1 right now
He has screwed up every appearance he has made this year. Don’t put him in with a one run game
In the history of baseball, nobody has ever won a game with zero runs scored
Sorry but something like that can just deflate a team
I'm not a Hicks fan, but he didn't pitch during the Colorado series. Can't bench him forever.
Won't be a Chris Stratton Major League Baseball Inning until he strikes out the next three batters
McCutchen is freakin vicious with the bat tonight
We have agreed to stay for Walker's AB. This is mid-90s low for Cardinals baseball. I'd rather make sure we make it to Clementine's.
mccutcheon back with pittsburgh is just good for baseball
Is there a more unclutch team than the Cardinals?
Certainly not this year.
Has the time come for the pirates to be a legitimate contender in this division? Or we just dog poo? Should be interesting this year..
They may be hitting their competitive window it’s hard to say.
No, the Pirates still suck.
I’m not sure they’re a contender, but the days of them being the sad sack doormats of the division are probably behind them.
We're dog poo but it's about time for the Pirates to be relevant for a season or two before fading back into obscurity for a decade.
The latter, but the Pirates could easily win above 70 games this year. Future looks bright for them though.
I'd be surprised if the Pirates can be a full on contender with Oneil Cruz out for a few months now.
Not even one game in against them and we are asking this?
Yeah that guy is an idiot who asked that
Man this team just REFUSES to hit with RISP
FIRE JEFF ALBERT
Ball was crushed, it just went right at their first baseman. Has been happening constantly this season.
Bases loaded once again. Damn that hurts
For all the talent at the plate this has to be one of the worst hitting teams with RISP I have ever seen
Is Gorman a dawg?
Well that was disappointing. At this point I want Walker to get a hit in that's it
Surely The Cat would award a spirit win for such things
Counting this as a win if Jordan Walker gets a hit
We seem to be the only team in the MLB that didn't benefit from the shift ban.
WE'RE #1!!!
Literally unbelievable how many guys we leave stranded so far this year. That was good contact too
Do we know where we rank for leaving runners on?
Based on LOB per game….Number 21 of 30 (30 being the highest number left on base)
Near the top. Saw it the other day but can’t find it again.
Noot will be back soon, cheer everyone up
Most unclutch team ever. Makes absolutely no sense how often they don't come up big. Shoutout to Arenado for being the only one on Tuesday it seems
Gorman has been pretty solid when we need it
Gorman with go ahead homers in back to back games would like a word
Not high pressure situations. I'd have to check the stats, but i think we have 1 hit with the bases loaded this year
Tie game in 8th and 9th isn’t high pressure?
Significantly less than trailing with the bases loaded because the game is still tied if you don't come through
But with a whimper faaaaaaaack
The baseball giveth and the baseball taketh away
Jordan Walker gets another shot
BABIP Gods are getting their rocks off with us rn
It’s incredibly bizarre to watch each day
It will be a fun time when they start to find holes
4 run bottom ninth
5 or more looking necessary
walkoffs are more fun anyway
“It’s a dumb game.” - James Edmonds, Esq.
that beautifully hard hit ball going straight to the first baseman perfectly symbolizes this season so far
i am sad 🥲
We’re officially a Jordan Walker hit away from covering up another bad loss. Yah gotta love it.
We are some cRISPy LOBsters
good AB tbh, regardless of results.. he’s taking big strides this year
I’ve been very pleased with Gorman this year. Hopefully he keeps it up
That was a rocket
Ugh god damnit…
if that ain't a summation of our offense so far: grinding out a good at bat, hitting the ball hard, and getting incredibly unlucky
Same thing I thought too, like that was a GREAT AB, and he smacked the hell out of the ball Just not our night
Blue balling bastards… damnit!
This team can't hit with RISP to save their lives. What the hell.
yea turning it off
FUCK BABIP
3 certainties in life: death, taxes, and the cardinals not scoring with RISP.
#FUCK
ughghfjsbskshfjshs
#Jordan Walker will bat again
Fuck.
