The Redbird Way

Jordan Walker gives the Cardinals a ninth-inning lead!

CARDIAC CARDS

Jordan Walker and Victor Scott II both homer as the @Cardinals secure a come-from-behind win to take the series!

JORDAN WALKER! The @Cardinals lead in the 9th!

During the expansion era (1961-present) the #STLCards have had a hitter take 115 or more plate appearances in a season a total of 877 times. Of the 877, Victor Scott II ranks No. 867 with his current 38 OPS (which is 62% below league average offensively.)

@TortsIllustrtd Those dudes should be bagging groceries

@TheRedbirdWay I would like them to trade for Pages AND Pozo

I think the Mets should trade for one of the cardinals 11 catchers, but to clarify I don’t mean Pozo or pages because they are not good

@DaddyFungo @MLB Well if he keeps at this blistering pace he will but there is so much baseball left lol but yes if he puts up a 7 WAR year then he should receive mvp votes

@MLB Full list of NL position players with higher WAR than Wetherholt: Olson De La Cruz Ohtani A. Pages Turang Muncy O. Lopez Lowe Walker That’s it. Time to stop disrespecting him with these rookie lists. He going to get MVP votes.

Mets ace Nolan McLean is atop the NL Rookie of the Year poll 🔥

@Cardsapologist @TheReal_TCliff @EricCrossMLB Wetherholt an everyday player he’s got an advantage and I’m sure McLean will slow down some once it gets hot out..JJ BABIP should go up as well…JJ has a great shot at it

@TheReal_TCliff @EricCrossMLB The problem is McLean with ROTY honestly I believe his glove makes up for the difference between Stewart but McLean is pitching like prime Degrom out there.

JJ Wetherholt is currently on pace for... 126 Runs 32 Home Runs 87 RBI 20 Steals 83 Walks #STLCards

@SheltonMysterio @BKSportsTalk Yes this, by year end Herrera will once again prove he’s undoubtedly the best hitter on STL…dude is the most pure hitter since Holliday on the cards…dude hits ropes everywhere and has a great eye

@BKSportsTalk Herrera & he might even be #1

If we assume Jordan Walker is #1, who is the #STLCards' second best hitter?

@jonmberra @TortsIllustrtd Pretty ridiculous considering that’s pretty much the only thing arbitration is based on….but that’s probably why it is banned because then lawyers would have too much leverage in arbitration hearings

@TortsIllustrtd @TheRedbirdWay Yeah I’m pretty sure it has to be award voting or playing time.

This is the exact thing that prevents a JJ extension. He’s not gonna want to hit free agency at 32 instead of 29.

@jonmberra @TortsIllustrtd 14 years 120 million, get 10 million dollar bonus every time his obp is above .360 or .800 ops in 400+ PA in any season starting now. 5 mil for gold gloves 5 mil for MVP votes. Sounds fun.

@TortsIllustrtd Basically too many players want the team to pay them there 90th percentile outcome or better to take a deal. I’m sure there is a number to sign any player but I know a large percentage of those numbers is much higher than any break even point.

Jordan Walker is on pace for: 180 hits 76 BB 32 2B 44 HR 120 RBI 192 Ks 28 SB

Jacob Odle with another impressive appearance 4.2 IP 4 H 1 ER 2 BB 9 K Produced a very good 38% whiff rate on 76 pitches. Both of his walks came in a rain filled 5th inning. Topped out at 99.5 mph today. ERA on the season 2.19
