Walker doing his best to keep our expectations tempered, I see. Lol. Good to see the young man playing well. Hope he keeps it up.
With both Walker and Gorman rippin’ it up in ST’ing, Johnny has to thinking that either Goldy or Nado are now expendable for the purpose of adding that much desired proverbial ace to the rotation…
‘Roster pile up’ or trade bait pile up?
Donovan’s rough spring is making it easy for Oli to figure out who starts at 2B.
What’s happening with Walker so far is the stuff dreams are made of. For those who haven’t yet noticed, take a look at Walker’s glaring eyes when he steps up to the plate.
I don’t know what the oddsmakers are thinking….. and the postseason nowadays is a crapshoot anyway. But now might be a good time to throw a c-note down on the Cardinals. And if they can find a big rotation piece or if Flaherty finally matches expectations, make that 2 c-notes.
Goldy’s getting a bit long in the tooth, Mudville. It may be high time for Johnny to exploit his value while it remains lofty…And hey, I didn’t even mention the resurrection of DeJong. The Korean team may have been a foolish decision for little Eddie…He may regret it when he looks out there and sees Paulie manning up at SS on opening day…
I forgot. What was the name of the guy that got NL MVP last year?
If Arenadao makes a hurried throw, Goldschmidt can catch the ball as long as it’s within 8 feet of first base in any direction.
All jokes aside, unless Jordan Walker is mysteriously abducted and held against his will by some foreign intelligence agency, I’m going to be really disappointed if he doesn’t collect around 450 PA’s in ’23. And oh…I certainly hope that Johnny has spoken to Jordan and made it abundantly clear that he’s not to climb astride a highly powered, performance oriented motorcycle…
That’s what I’m driving at, Mudville. Johnny’ll be entirely aware that other teams will be champing at the bit to surrender that ace that everyone has longed for while he can still dangle that MVP award out there.
Who needs good pitching with that defense? Last year I’d tune into games I otherwise might not have watched just because I didn’t want to miss Arenado/Edman/Goldy pulling off something really good. An ace pitcher with swing and miss stuff will take some of that away. Strikeouts are boring and Mo/BDW probably don’t want to risk losing viewership.
Flaherty is shown as available, but it doesn’t seem likely that he will pitch. (See pitchers at lower right.) Last game for Goldy and Arenado pre-WBC.
They are back on TV today.

I am not sure what he means by ‘rookie’. Walker is a minor league player in camp as an NRI.
At this phase, I’ll be highly surprised if Walker isn’t included on the Big League roster on opening day and it wouldn’t at all surprise me if he’s in the starting line-up for the home opener. If that indeed turns out to be the case, where does he slot in the line-up?
I am trying to imagine what the chances of getting that draft pick would be if the reigning MVP was hitting behind Walker all year.
Well, I’m liking the pace of play.
Bottom of the first, the first two reached on walks, then Goldy, NA and minor league guy couldn’t do anything with it.
I can’t predict the future.
Things go sideways fast. Monty having an inning to forget. Can’t pitch, can’t make a throw, can’t run over to first.
The new 4A type depth catcher Berrera chipped away with a tater in the 2nd, so its 4-1. Back to the top of the order for the bottom of the 3rd, facing Quintana :-[ who shuts us down :-[
Ollie says Flaherty is pitching tomorrow. :-O
Walker didn’t look too good on a drive that went over his over his head.
1TD, I predict that there won’t be any video on that one. It doesn’t take Nostradamus to get that right.
Well, so far all three pitchers we’ve sent out there got touched up.
Donovan has hit two the other way toward short. One looper fell in. He’s not helping his average exit velocity today.
